Thus,several studies have clearly shown that the ingredients of the leekcrop reduce blood lipid levels and therefore preventive againstdiseases of the blood vessels, such as atherosclerosisetc. Cholesterol levels can be significantly reduced by the total ofregular garlic consumption.

My great grandmother was a big fan of garlic.

Allthese thoughts turn into fear, sadness and dejection which affectsthe night’s rest. Of course there are many more possibilities forinsomnia. If it occurs more often you need to consult a doctor formaking a check up. But if you are sleepless just from time to timeyou should not use sleeping pills immediately as there will bemany side effects.

Sage is found naturally on dry, calcareous hills in southern Europe,and northern Africa. In ancient times, it was one of the most highlyesteemed of all plants because of its reputed health-insuringproperties. An old adage reads, “How can a man die in whosegarden sage is growing?” Its very names betoken the high regardin which it was held; salvia is derived from salvus, to be safe, orsalveo, to be in good health or to heal; (hence also salvation!) andofficinalis stamps its authority or indicates its recognized officialstanding. The name sage, meaning wisdom, appears to have hada different origin, but as the plant was reputed to strengthen thememory, there seems to be ground for believing that those whoate the plant would be wise.

Because of their highly aromatic odor sage leaves have long beenused for seasoning dressings, especially to disguise the too greatlusciousness of strong meats, such as pork, goose and duck. It isone of the most important flavoring ingredients in certain kinds ofsausage and cheese. In France the whole herb is used to distillwith water in order to secure essential oil of sage, a greenish-yellow liquid employed in perfumery. About 300 pounds of thestems and leaves yield one pound of oil.

Sage has many benefits. Most important is that it can help whenyou have a sore throat and when you are sweating a lot, especiallyduring the night.

My great grandmothers advice for reducing sweating would bethis:

Take 1 Liter of water and add 3 Tablespoons of Sageleaves. Boilthe water for 3 minutes (Be careful and don’t leave the pot alone).Then you strain the liquid and drink a glass. The rest of the wateryou drink during the day. Repeat this for several days. You willsoon feel the result.

My great grandmotherPosted on February 16, 2014 by Miss Conceptions — Leave a comment ↓

My great grandmother

I had the wonderful luck to see my great grandmother when shewas still alive. I was just a small girl but I will always remember thisold woman. She had a friendly face, a very pleased and happysmile and sparkling eyes although she was already in her late80ies. She lived a dignified life and everyone respected her andthe way she was like. The most amazing thing I can tell about heris her strength and good health also when she was already veryold. She had to problems to hike long distances. She very ofteneven preferred to walk half an hour longer instead of taking a busor taxi. Her mind was always clear and her thoughts alwaysfocused. Today you would call such kind of woman a“Powerwoman”. Yes, indeed she was a Powerwoman, in everyaspect of her life. For me, as small girl with just 8 years she wassurrounded by a magical aura. In spite of the fact that she hadwhite hair and many wrinkles in her face I was very fascinated ofher.

You may ask now why I write this all about her. The answer issimple: She had a huge knowledge of household remedies andshe knew always what kind of herbal medicine could cure aspecific disease. She was often outside in the nature and collectedflowers, plants, herbs, fruits, vegetables etc. When someone toldher about her health problems she always had an advice for thisperson how to cure with herbal medicine.

She even wrote down in a notebook, you could say her personaldiary what treatments are needed to cure a disease or to keep fitand healthy. I am lucky to be in possession of her notebook. It isvery worn out and her writing is very hard to read and it took me alot of time and effort to rewrite it but finally I was able to do it and Iwould be very happy to share some secrets of her with you.
