Great to see honey’s magical healing powers being shared. I have been treating my husband’s fishing injuries for a week using honey, very successfully! He got bashed against some rocks and had some nasty wounds. After washing it, I mixed honey, a little rosehip oil and 2 drops of Kunzea essential oil (an awesome Australian newly discovered oil comparable to Lavender or Tea Tree) and put it on a gauze pad to dress the wounds. I renewed this every day for three days at which time we let the wounds dry out. It has been amazing, no bruising or infection and rapid healing. Hubbie is stoked! His mother, who is a nurse, is very impressed! Lavender could be substituted for the Kunzea oil, and olive oil for the rosehip if that is all you have. Cheers.

Of all the natural remedies I’ve heard of to end H1N1 is colloidal silver. This is explained in detail at http://www.magicalmind.org.
It has excellent qualities and is without side effects.

Goldenseal is not a plant that would do well in a traditional garden plot. It is a plant that grows on a northfacing slope, shaded and is a companion plant with Ginseng.

I used it on a nasty Brown Recluse spider bite I had on my wrist some years back. I packed it into the neurosis and I feel it really helped. I have no scar to this day.

We are big fans of both plain TTO and then the TTO/Lavender blends. I used them when the kiddos had chicken pox (thanks to a chicken pox party), on scrapes, etc. I also use the drops in our laundry, it makes our towels and sheets smell divine. It was also a good laundry tool when my kiddos were still in diapers (cloth).

I, also, didn’t know about the honey. We have some great local sources for raw honey locally so I’ll have to pick some up.

Thanks!

I love the honey idea. I wonder if I could grow golden seal in my herb garden? I've heard it is endangered because of over-harvesting. A friend of mine makes an all natural product that I hope will one day replace polysporin (and you can make it in your home) she calls it Ouch! and it is great stuff. I get her to make me batches and give it away to friends. Earth Mother Naturals is her site.

Love this post, it’s full of great information!

My Father keeps bees on his organic farm. It’s a symbiotic relationship – the bees have tons of pollen and we get delicious raw honey. We use the honey to dress wounds, as a cough syrup for the kids (over the age of one), with lemons and hot water for sore throats and to sweeten sauces, etc.

Matthew – Honey has been used for a very long time to treat wounds. Check out http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2001/november/Molan/honey-as-topical-agent.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Hydrogen_peroxide

I’d be a little scared at first to dab honey on a cut but maybe I should buck up and just try it next time. Do you know if there are any scientific papers or research supporting any of these methods? I’d be interested to see them if there are…
