Spring has definitely sprung. The weather is going crazy, from cool and windy to hot and muggy in almost a matter of hours at times. The world is suddenly green, and those of us with allergies are even more aware of it.This is the perfect time to begin your gardens. Too many people are 'frightened' to start a garden, thinking they lack either the skill or the space to do so. But that just

Perhaps the most crucial step in any garden, is obtaining the plants you will put in it. This does not necessarily have to be a difficult process, but with no plants there is no garden.There are two main options available: you can buy seeds and start them yourself, or you can buy young plants at your local nursery or through the mail. There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach.Some

It’s that time of year again, when we all start brainstorming for ideas for gifts. I know I rarely have enough to buy gifts for everyone, so I have to make a lot of gifts. Besides, a homemade gift is always a nice touch, even if it is in addition to a store-bought gift. And there are plenty of nice, easy gifts you can make to spread the joy of caring for your body naturally to those you care

Teas are always a wonderful way of taking care of one’s self; this is especially true in the cold and dreary months of the winter. I have spent many a happy winter evening curled up by the fire with a book and a cup of tea. But there is so much more than that simple soothing that teas are good for.Sleeplessness: One of the best uses for a good cup of tea is to help with sleeplessness.

This book, written by Valerie Ann Worwood, is truly a 'complete' guide to almost anything you'd want to know about essential oils and aromatherapy. As someone who works with such things on a pretty much daily basis, this book is my cornerstone of information. Any time I need information on usage or recommended oils, this is the first place I look, as it has everything, from Essential Oil First

Mints of all kinds have long been recognized as highly useful and versatile herbs, the most popular of course being Peppermint and Spearmint. This makes the mints a very good choice for any herb garden or cabinet.Perhaps the use that mints, especially Peppermint, are best known for, is help against stomach complaints. Peppermint is nearly unrivaled when it comes to all manner of stomach

Most of us know that it is far better to use herbs that are freshly picked whenever possible; there is no better way to get the full flavor and impact that they can offer. However, this is all too rarely a possibility. Thus, we must find the most effective ways of preserving our lovely fresh herbs, for use when they are no longer available. Not every method will necessarily be completely

For many people, the face is a problematic area, and very sensitive. It isn't difficult, luckily, to care for your face in such a way that it will give you a minimum of trouble. You should clean the face each night before bed. Be sure you remove all makeup. Never use a commercial cleansing bar on your face if at all possible. Most of them are too harsh and will make your skin produce more oil

It seems that the use of herbal supplements is becoming more and more popular with every passing day. The range of issues you can effectively treat with them is very wide, and usually with a much lower impact on the rest of your body than chemical, manufactured treatments. Of course, as with any sort of medicine, you should consult with a qualified professional, but this article will serve as a

By nearly any estimation, Lavender is a plant with amazing and versatile uses. It has been popular for treating a wide array of problems for as long as such things have been recorded in its native Mediterranean/Western European areas. I would be very hard-pressed to include every conceivable use for this highly adaptable plant, but I will try to cover at least the most important.Perhaps the
