My husband was cooking and got a pretty bad grease burn. We have been treating at home for the pain and thought I would share since it has been so successful. After the emergency treatment we put lavender essential oil on the burn to help with the pain and swelling.

Next we made a tincture with black tea and mint. We steeped 4 cups of water with 10 mint leaves and 4 Lipton black tea bags for 5 minutes. This was kept in the fridge and used a couple times a day to wash the area.

Travis felt the best after making the mint wrap. We steeped the tea leaves in hot water for two minutes then covered the leaves with ice. Once they were cold we covered the burns with the leaves. The mint was soothing and so far he is healing really well.

Remember to this doesn't replace the advice of a doctor. Seek medical treatment for 2nd or 3rd degree burns.

All the sickness going around has inspired me to post my homemade cough syrup.

Boil water. Cut up a lemon and place some fresh sage into a pitcher. Add the boiling water and then honey. You only need about a tablespoon, but I like things sweet so I add more. Cool and drink as a tea.

You can use less water, strain and use more like a medicine, but my family enjoys the way it tastes so we use double water keep it in the fridge to drink like tea. My youngest couldn't have corn so this was a nice alternative.

Remember babies under one year should not have honey or sage.

Shiva Lingam Stones are found only in India. They wash up onto the beaches of one of the seven sacred rivers. They represent Shiva and are very cleansing. One stone, even a small one, can cleanse and direct energy for your entire home. Used during meditation they can work as a spiritual detox helping to refocus your energies. They embody the masculine and can help reinstate a trust in male energy which is helpful for women who have been in relationships that caused mistrust in men.

Celtic Oathing Stone. So my baby sister is getting married, not the baby of the family but with such a big age difference they are both my baby sisters. With the wedding tomorrow it made me think of my own ceremony which of course included stones. :). One tradition I thought I would share is the Oathing Stone. Any stone will do, but I chose a type of Jasper for protection, love, and loyalty. You place the stone at your feet during your ceremony and then in a special place in your home. It will remind you of your vows and bring that special energy into your home.

I went to the Gem and Mineral Show today and brought home a beautiful new piece. Selenite means moon like glow. It is said that Selenite carries the imprint of all that has happened in the world. It is insight, awareness, purity, and calm. Do not cleanse with salt water, the water will dull it.

Now that summer is here and I have a little more free time I wanted to start posting more. I thought I would start today with my favorite stone, Calcite. Calcite is one of the most common stones, but it comes in so many colors and crystal shapes. There is one property that all Calcite shares, no matter the color and that is psychic protection. We all have those people in our lives that drain us just from being around them. Those people are sometimes called psychic vampires because they drain your energy. Calcite carried in your pocket, purse, or even just set on shelves in your home stops these people from being able to take your energy and keeps you from feeling drained when they leave.

Thank you to everyone who came by and visited us at the Holistic Living Expo. We had a great time and are already making plans for next year. I was thinking about carrying a few bigger crystals and stones. What does everyone think?
