Tending Hearth And Home - Tumblr Posts
One of the most important things I learned about respiratory illness, specifically COVID-19, I got from an Indian pharmacist who also knew her Ayurvedic remedies. She told me the most important thing was to keep the stuff in the throat from getting down into the chest. She said the way to do this was to drink beverages as hot as you could tolerate them, containing garlic, ginger, and turmeric.
From this I figured out that you could take bone broth and put the three remedies in, along with some healthy mineral-rich salt, then get it as hot as you could tolerate it and serve it to everybody who is sick.
If you can get fresh turmeric and make a tea from it, that is more powerful than dried turmeric.
Excerpt: We can’t be tenders of our people without being engaged in the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healthcare of our people. This doesn’t apply only to your children but also to your spouse, if so blessed, (grown men need tending, too) your friends, and yourself. It’s hard to tend others when you are overdrawn on your energy-budget, just like you can’t expect to clean your home if you’re covered in mud. You have to be relatively clean to clean your house. Proper healthcare takes care of you and your people.
