Welcome
to Realm of the White Wolf!!!!!
The
links on this page will
take you several places
which I hope you enjoy.
The Native Americans used
Herbal Remedies as cures
for ailments
and they were made with
items found in nature.
I hope you find something
here that will be of use
to you.
Please remember that before
you try one of these
to check with your doctor
first and if the ailment
persists
to seek medical help.
I will introduce you to
Totem Power Stones.
I will tell you about
crystals and the crystal
connection dealing with
chakras of the body
These are Herbal Remedies
for every stage of life.
These come from a book
titled "American
Indian Healing Arts, herbs,
rituals and remedies for
every stage of life"
by E. Barrie Kavasch and
Karen Baar
***************************
These pages will be something
different. I am going
to try to bring you pages
with some herbs,
and remedies for every
season of life. These
are brought to you from
a wonderful book I have,
called "American Indian
Healing Arts" by E. Barrie
Kavasch and Karen Baar.
The Indians were well
noted for their herbal
remedies and healing skills.
If any of you have ones
of your own that are Natural,
please let me know and
I will add them here.
Also I will bring you
several other things about
Native Americans
and their
becoming closer to their
Native Mother Earth and
Father Sky.
Please be patient as this
page may take time to
grow.
**********************************
~Earth Remedies for
Adolescence~
During adolescence, young
people pay more careful
attention to their appearance.
Many American Indians
consider grasses and herbs
to be the "hair of Mother
Earth"
and so they turn to these
select botanicals for
their own hair care.
This is a time of learning
and developing their skills.
****************************
Marigold-Calendula
Deodorant Cream
Marigolds and calendula
are two flowers long used
in skin treatments.
Marigolds
are ancient natives of
the desert Southwest and
Mexico;
the origins of the calendula
lie in the Mediterranean,
but the flowers escaped
to North America long
ago.
Both have mild pleasing
fragrances and soothing
mineral healing qualities.
This cream is well absorbed
into the skin;
it is especially pleasant
in the heat of the summer.
Creams are usually composed
and simmered in a double
boiler for about 3 hours
in order to create a fine
emulsion.
Measure ingredients into
the top of a double boiler.
Heat at a low simmer,
blending everything together.
At the end of the cooking
time, pour the cream into
a clean bowl.
Stir or whip it continuously
until it cools and sets.
Spoon the cream into sterilized
dark glass jars and label.
To counter mold growth
or spoilage and extend
the shelf life of the
cream,
you can add 4 drops of
tincture of benzoin at
the very end of the cooking
process.
Recipe:
2 1/2 ounces glycerine
5 ounces emulsifying wax
or beeswax
2 1/2 ounces distilled water
1 ounce dried marigold
petals, pulverized
1 ounce dried calendula
petals, pulverized
1/2 ounce dried mint or
bergamot leaves, pulverized
********************************
Marigold-Calendula
Cornstarch body Talc.
Using the same herbs as
in the previous recipe,
you can make a remarkably
soothing body talc.
Measure these ingredients
into a sterile jar or
bottle.
Cap tightly and
shake well: label and
date.
Keep this in the bath
and use it as a choice
of dusting powder or carry
it with you in your gym
bag.
2 ounces each dried marigold
petals, dried calendula
petals,
and dried bergamot
leaves pulverized
6 ounces of cornstarch
*********************************
Bergamot/Mint
Breath Freshener
As a quick and easy digestive
aid and breath freshener,
try slowly and thoroughly
chewing a leaf
or two of bergamot or
other fresh mint leaves.
You can also make one
cup of mild mint tea
with one cup of water
and three leaves of your
favorite mint.
Use this
as a mouth rinse, gargle
and throat spray.
*********************************
White
Cedar Skin Salve
A salve sits on the skin
surface and provides protective
healing benefits.
The cooling properties
of white cedar are especially
rich in minerals that
calm burns or irritated
skin.
Mix and heat the herbs,
cocoa butter and beeswax
together in a small covered
pot over low heat for
two hours,
stirring frequently. If
desired, toward the very
end add the honey and
vitamin E.
Blend the mixture thoroughly
and pour it into small
containers or
onto clean foil in little
cookielike pools. Allow
it to cool and become
firm.
3 ounces powdered dried
white cedar leaves
7 ounces cocoa butter
or pure vegetable shortening
1 ounce beeswax (use more
or less, depending upon
the consistency desired)
1 ounce raw honey (optional)
2 or 3 drops vitamin E
(optional)
