Low sugar brown sugar! Add as little or as much molasses as you want to get a beautiful homemade brown sugar!

Why allulose? Allulose is a natural, low-calorie sweetener that tastes and bakes like sugar but without the blood sugar spikes or excess calories. Unlike sugar alcohols, it doesn’t typically cause digestive issues like gas or bloating, making it gentler on the gut. Studies suggest it may even support healthy blood sugar regulation, improve insulin sensitivity, and help manage weight by reducing overall calorie intake. With about 70% of the sweetness of sugar and no bitter aftertaste, it’s an excellent alternative for those looking to cut sugar while still enjoying sweetness naturally.

A great nature made cough syrup: wild cherry bark cough syrup. Fill a jar with cherry bark, top it off with vodka or everclear. Let sit for 3 weeks in a dark spot. Strain. Add equal parts honey. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Bottle up. Use as needed for cough. 1 tsp at a time. Not to be given to babies under one year. Store in a glass jar in a cabinet. Comment “Cherry” and I’ll send you a link to the cherry bark.
🍒
Harvested from the inner bark of wild cherry trees, this plant medicine has a wide range of benefits. Wild cherry bark helps to open up the lower respiratory system to move stuck mucus up and out while drying it up. It has a calming effect that eases coughing spasms that lead to irritated throats. Wild cherry’s calming and nervine properties make it useful for nighttime coughing that makes it hard to sleep.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) foot soaks can offer several potential health benefits, primarily due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

These include:
relieving foot odor, softening rough skin and calluses, treating athlete’s foot, and aiding in detoxification

- antimicrobial properties can help neutralize odor-causing bacteria.
- antifungal properties may help combat the fungus that causes athlete’s foot.
the acidic nature of ACV is thought to help draw out toxins from the skin, contributing to overall detoxification.
more research is needed, some people report that ACV soaks can help with wart removal due to its antimicrobial properties.
How to Make an ACV Foot Soak:
Fill a basin with warm water (not too hot).
Add 1-2 cups of apple cider vinegar to the water.
Soak your feet for 15-20 minutes.
Dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes.

Got eggs? Good think they store well! Farm fresh, unwashed: 3 weeks on the counter. Farm fresh washed eggs: up to 5 weeks. Freeze dried (you need a freeze drying machine) if stored in an airtight container with an oxygen absorber they can last up to 25 years! Err on the side of caution and try to eat them up (just add water) in less than 10 years. Comment “link” and I will DM you my egg storage tools.

Cistus Tea has been in use to help prevent ticks from attaching to dogs and humans! Not only are we finding less ticks on us after time out in the woods, but those we do find are not attached! Like synthetic repellants, tick-repellant plants deter ticks and insects with their natural smell. These plants contain bioactive compounds that produce a fragrance that irritates the ticks. While the smell of the tea is pleasant to us, ticks are extremely sensitive to the smell and tend to stay away. By consuming it we emit this smell.
.
Cistus Incanus grows in the dry, arid, harsh climate of the Mediterranean. The plant protects itself by increasing its levels of polyphenols, powerful constituents that fight oxidative stress, and free-radical damage. It is loaded with bioactive compounds, including bioflavonoids, polyphenols, catechins, rutin, proanthocyanadins, and gallic acid – these keep ticks, mosquitos, and other insects away.
.
Cistus also provides a range of health benefits: relieves oxidative stress, acts as a powerful antioxidant, reduced inflammation, provides immune system support, reduces inflammation, breaks down viruses and biofilms, and stimulates detoxification. It has even been used in the treatment of Lyme!
.
Usage: (I found this dosage online, not medical advice from me) Whether you are taking Cistus tea for mosquitoes, viruses or both, it’s important to drink it daily and throughout the day. For Lyme disease, Dr Klinghardt has said that adding stevia boosts its effectiveness. Linden Botanicals suggests boiling 1/8oz of herb in 8oz of water for 25 minutes. Be sure to use a lid to retain the essential oils. There is research indicating that a long boil of 35 minutes is optimal. You can brew the herbs again two or three more times.

One of my most used kitchen gadgets! The salad shooter. I use it to shred cheese (store bought shredded cheese contains wood pulp, shred your own!) and veggies. But there’s also a slicing tool. You can thinly slice a ton of veggies in seconds! Great for scalloped potatoes. Love this thing!! Plus it’s affordable!

Tried and true old remedy: Mustard plasters. The paste irritates the skin’s surface layers, which reduces inflammation deeper down. They are used to warm muscles and relieve chronic aches and pains. They can also be used to treat chest colds, coughs, and congestion.
•
- Mix equal parts flour and powdered mustard in a bowl
- Add water until the mixture forms a thick paste
- Spread the paste onto a soft cloth
- Put another cloth on top
- Apply the plaster to the chest or affected area
- Remove the plaster after 15–20 minutes, do not leave on longer than 20 minutes as it can burn the skin.
•
Cautions: if you have sensitive skin do a patch test first to see how you react. Check the skin throughout the elapsed time to make sure no blisters are forming as the mustard is hot!
