Even though I agree with that the “Do Nothing” approach to treating illness is often the best approach, I think you’ll agree that honey can be a wonderful natural remedy both internally and externally.

I am helping a friend make some major changes in his diet following a heart attack. It can be overwhelming and the fear about what to eat can be overwhelming. So rather than concentrate on what he CAN’T eat, I want him to concentrate on what he can. Today I have a post about just what should be in his cart following his heart attack.

I left a post about storing herbs for winter!

http://dotalanecdotes.blogspot.com/2012/11/storing-herbs-for-winter.html

Drying herbs is great, and you can do it without using the oven or a dehydrator. Freezing into a puree with oil to add to soup, pesto, casseroles, and slow-cookers later is another wonderful option! Click the blog to learn more (and enter our current book giveaway, a new one every week until about Christmas!).
