Calendula Tea and Eyewash Print E-mail

A tea made from calendula is especially for the liver and

gallbladder, where its detoxifying effects help prevent skin

problems. You can also use this tea to settle digestive disorders. Use freshly made tea for best results.

 

Put the herbs in a small teapot. Add the water, cover, infuse for 7 to 8 minutes. Pour a cup of this soothing blossom tea and savor the steaming fragrance as you sip it slowly. To use this tea as a soothing eyewash for swollen, irritated eyes, carefully strain 1/4 cup through fine muslin and cool. Put it in a small, sterile eyecup.

 

If it smarts when you try it, dilute it further with distilled

water. Be sure to sterilize the eyecup with boiling water after each use. In the heat of summer, refrigerate the tea briefly and use it to calm allergy, reddened, itchy eyes.

Wise Tips

Many of the traditional herbal healers were the wise women, living in villages, who commanded great respect and not a little fear, because of their healing powers. The rise of allopathic medicine and its use of inorganic chemical was accompanied by the systematic disparagement of the woman's powers to heal using natural herbs and other plants. During the 17th century many women were ultimately commended as witches, tried by mob, and burned at the stake for drowned, for practicing natural herbal medicine. That's all behind us now, thankfully. Although a certain stigma is attached to alternative medicine, and those who practice it, traditional remedies from Western culture and beyond are becoming increasingly accepted as valuable by the mainstream practitioners of our health service.
