Wise Woman Herbal Ezine - April 17, 2012

Message from Susun – April 17, 2012 The Goddess lives all around you. Bottle her up with this ancient remedy, reputed to be at least six thousand years old, from The Yellow Emperor, a healing text from China. Triple Goddess Elixir (my name for it) is said to be curative for any problem that a woman encounters. It can dissolve cysts in the ovaries and breasts, regulate menses, ease menopausal symptoms, strengthen the nerves and the heart, and increase serenity as well. I love the vinegar on salads. I reserve the tincture for tough cases.

I usually make mine just before the frost takes down the tender mints, but January is not too late to get some started if you have access to hardy mints. (See last week's green reports for some choices.) Overwintering rosemary, sage, thyme, and lavender appreciate a haircut about now, for lush spring growth.
