DIY Fido's Boo-Boo Salve


This is Lacey

She is our beautiful 6 year old Shih Tzu, we have raised from a baby and has been a wonderful bouncy joy to live with, everyday she has made our life better, she is such a good little girl. 
Sadly we were told one of our dogs in our family has cancer and wasn't expected to live more than 2 weeks. Well although she is very frail now, she doesn't seem to be in severe pain and has outlived the 2 weeks now. I have made her a pain salve that I apply to her though just to help. It seems to help swelling and her appetite goes up and down. They gave us steroids to use and we tried them for a few days but decided to stop because they seem to cause problems. I have also made her dog biscuits that she likes. Trying to make her life more happy even if it has been shortened by rotten cancer cells. If anyone has any other things they have used please share. This is our little girl, we love her dearly, she is a shih tzu, 6 years old,. way to young for this to happen.

DIY Fido's Boo-Boo Salve (FOR DOGS ONLY)
Don't have all the essential oils called for in this recipe? This salve is safe to use on cats if the essential oils are omitted!
I actually use this salve as well, it seems to help with pain that I suffer from as well.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Magic Healing Herbal Infused Oil (or simply use unrefined coconut oil)
1/4 cup unrefined shea butter
1/4 cup beeswax pastilles
5 drops MRH palmarosa essential oil or PT palmarosa eo
8 drops MRH lavender essential oil or PT lavender eo
2 drops MRH Roman chamomile essential oil or PT Roman chamomile eo
5 drops MRH geranium essential oil or PT geranium eo
DIRECTIONS
In a double boiler (or your pyrex measuring cup in a pan with about an inch of water in it) melt the Magic Healing Herbal Infused Oil, beeswax, and shea butter together.
Once completely melted, remove from heat and add the essential oil blend. Stir until completely combined.
Pour into (4) 2 oz. metal tins to share or take on the go. Pour into (1) 8 oz. mason jar container to use all for yourself.
If stored in a cool dark location, this salve will keep for 9 months to a year.
TO USE
Apply to CLEAN wounds, cuts, dry skin/paw pads, hot spots, bites/stings, rashes, burns, and more. If your dog is prone to licking wounds, you might want to put the cone of shame on them for serious wounds, to help them heal faster. This salve is safe to be licked in small amounts.

A natural antibacterial owie cream just for dogs
When dogs get hurt, just like humans, they need proper cleaning and wound care to keep the wound free from infection. Many vets would simply hand you an antibacterial cream to apply to the wound, much like that of Neosporin, but I am always trying to avoid the use of products containing antibiotics in them, so I created a natural antibacterial owie cream just for dogs! I call it my Fido's Boo-Boo Balm! The great things about this salve, for dogs, is that it is so universal that you can use it for all sorts of issues, including:

cuts/scrapes/open wounds
bites/stings
dry skin
dry/cracked paw pads
rashes
hot spots
burns
fungal infections

Medicinal Pickled Garlic

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!  There is m

With cold and flu season coming up soon once again I am thinking ahead this year so I am making some medicines to have ready to fight back fast. According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.” That is some powerful stuff!  There is much more information in the book, it is a wonderful addition to your homesteading or prepping library.

Ears-OLD WIVES TALES, SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS AND FOLKLORE

EARS While the superstition of burning ears dates back years, there is no real indication of where it came from. Many superstitions that still exist today date back to the medieval days and are often rooted in pagan religions or the church. In the case of the burning ears, it is said that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Now if you want to know if they are saying good things or bad things, remember this " Left for love, Right for spite! ". If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. Pinch your ear, and the person talking of you will bite his own tongue. If the right ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking well of you; if the left ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking unkindly of you; but if both ears burn, friend and foe are fighting about you. - Pennsylvania.
