Saw palmetto berries were used by Western herbalists for building and toning muscles, reducing male pattern baldness and impotence due to chronic prostatitis. Fenugreek seeds were used by Western herbalists to reduce impotence, balance blood sugar, and abate male pattern baldness. Fenugreek was introduced to the West by the Arabic traders in the Mediterranean. This tonic is very successful at lowering PSA blood levels, which are markers of prostatic tumor growth.


1 tablespoon saw palmetto berries (Serrenoa serrulata)
1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
1 tablespoon parsley root
1 tablespoon echinacea root
1 tablespoon marshmallow root
1 tablespoon goldenseal root, optional; use to reduce inflammation
4 tablespoons fresh dandelion leaves
Simmer in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes, covered. Remove from heat and steep dandelion leaves for 15 minutes before straining. Drink 1/2-1 cup daily. When inflammation has gone down, discontinue goldenseal. Consider a building tonic, such as the energy tonic for fatigue, at breakfast or lunch.

Thank you   Judy Griffin

Pesto Sauce

Ingredients

1/4 cup Olive oil
1 cup fresh chopped Basil or Parsley or combination
1 /4-1 /2 cup Pinon nuts or Almonds
1 /4-1 /2 cup or more Parmesan cheese
3 cloves Garlic
dash fresh Pepper
some salt
dash Cayenne

Chop the greens and the Garlic. Put into a blender and add a bit of Olive oil. Blend on low speed. From time to time stop the blender to push down the ingredients with a rubber spatula. Add the Pinon nuts and blend. Mix in the Parmesan cheese and the spices. The end consistency should be like thick crunchy Peanut butter.


MOTH-REPELLENT HANGERS for Fine Woolens, Pants, Coats

For 4 hangers you will need 4 sturdy wooden hangers, 1-2 pounds of Herbal Moth Repellent, and 4 pieces of nice cotton cloth 8 inches by 13 inches. The herbal mixture can be made of equal quantities of Pennyroyal herb, Camomile flowers, (also spelled Chamomile flowers) and Spearmint; Bay leaves mixed with Eucalyptus leaves; or simply Cedar shavings that you have picked up at the lumberyard. For this mixture it's best to use whole, dried leaves and flowers or ones that are coarsely cut.

1) Curl the fabric into a 13-inch-long tube over the lower edge of the hanger and sew a seam into this long edge.

2) Take a piece of string or pretty ribbon and tightly tie to close off one end of the tube.

3) Stuff the open end of the tube with the herbal mixture. It will take at least 4 ounces of herbs.

4) Tie the open end tightly to contain the herbs.

The scent and repellent properties of the herbs will seep through the cloth to whatever is on the hanger, keeping it safe from moths and bugs. In a year or so it will be an easy matter to refresh your herbal mixture by untying one end of the cloth tube and replacing the herbs with a fresh mixture.

Thank you Jeanne Rose
