Primal Family Nourishment

This post is to let you know that my mum, administrator of “Live Grow Nourish Create”, has started up a new paleo food blog, called Primal Family Nourishment (which you can check out here)

Viv, administrator of Primal Family Nourishment says here in her about page: “This blog is to document our progress as we transition towards a “primal” way of eating emphasising fresh meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and minimal high fat dairy.”

Chamomile / Anthemis Nobilis


Chamomile grows all over the U.S.A and Europe. It’s a short plant with little gold-yellow flowers. It helps cure stomach-ache, indigestion, colic, nervousness, restlessness, constipation, cuts, bruises, burns, sore muscles, nappy rash, teething, insomnia and colds.

Things to Do with Your Chamomile:

Chamomile can be used in Herbal Teas. Drink a cup before bed to help you sleep better. Drink when new teeth are coming to help them grow more quickly. Drink a cup when your stomach is poorly from eating too many sweet food stuffs to ease the pain.

Chamomile can also be used in baths for similar reasons. Fill a small cloth bag with herbs (chamomile) and hang under the tap so that when the tap runs, it pushes the herbal essences into the bath water.

Chamomile is sometimes laid down like a path of plants. As you walk on the chamomile, a strong herbal fragrance is lifted into the air.

The Men Who Made Us Fat


Link

Most people believe it’s fat that makes us fat. It’s not; it’s sugar! Next time you’re at your local supermarket- think low sugar, not low fat. Low fat wouldn’t be anything bad, but when they take the healthy fats out, guess what they add in. Loads more sugar!!

This is a great program, that proves that it’s not fat thats the problem. For the good of the country, watch and share!

Mullein / Verbascum Thapsus


Mullein is a tall-stemmed herb with large fuzzy leaves and tiny yellow flowers. It can be used for coughs (especially whooping cough), earaches, the flu, colds, bleeding, diarrhea, frostbite, bronchitis, asthma, eczema, mumps and nerve pain. Try it in a tea or as a gargle or syrup. Mullein can also be used to make oils, eardrops and candles.

Did You Know?

If you wrap food in mullein leaves, it takes longer to spoil, or go off.

Garlic Bread Recipe


This garlic bread recipe is yummy, but It’s also a great remedy for coughs, lung congestion, bronchitis, colds, the flu, asthma and pneumonia.

  • Press 8-10 garlic cloves and place in a bowl.
  • Pour enough olive oil over the garlic mix to make it slightly thick. You don’t want so much olive oil, however, that the garlic mix is very runny.
  • Dip some soldiers of bread into the mix, and here you have the ultimate homemade garlic mix recipe! Enjoy!!

Lemon Balm Leaf Tea


Lemon Balm is good for colds, flu, coughs, bruises, wounds, crying, depression and whinging and has no dodgy side effects like some bought medicines may have. Here are some instructions to make lemon balm tea.

  • Pick a large handful of fresh lemon balm leaves from your garden. Be careful not to pick too many from just one stem, but picking a few from each will help your balm grow more.
  • Put the lemon balm leaves into a teapot or jug.
  • Pour boiling water into the pot.
  • Cover and leave for 15 minutes.
  • Strain and pour into cups.
  • (Optional: ) Put some honey onto a spoon and stir into the cup of lemon balm tea. Sprinkle with cocoa.

For different reasons, you could use mint. It would have a different flavour, but the preperation would be basically the same.
