Coltsfoot has a soothing expectorant and antispasmodic action. This common herb has a long history of use for the treatment of acute or chronic bronchitis, irritating coughs, and asthma. The plant’s botanical name means ‘cough dispeller’. Coltsfoot is the first flower to appear in early spring and is often mistaken for dandelion. Interestingly, the hoof-shaped leaves only appear when the flowers have died down, giving rise to the plant’s old name, filius ante patrem (son before father). In Paris, the flowers used to be painted on the doorposts of apothecaries shops.
My motion sickness remedy enjoys great success for those unable to travel due to nausea/anxiety. The combination of valerian root, chamomile, rose hips, ginger and catnip produce a calm, relaxed state.

Silver Owl, thank you for the motion sickness tea for my mother. Since she has started drinking it prior to our car rides she has not experienced her motion sickness anymore. It works great and has given us our freedom to travel back. I can’t thank-you enough–what a wonderful remedy.

For centuries people from many cultures have taken the time to practice ritual cleansing in order to promote wellness and vitality. This was traditionally done through fasting, sweating (i.e. sweat lodges, steam baths and saunas) and by purging the body. Wherever and however we live today it is inevitable that we are exposed to a wide range of toxins from many sources including chemicals in the foods we eat, environmental pollutants, as well as ‘body produced’ toxins or waste products produced by minute to minute metabolic processes. Below is an outline of an herbal cleanse which is safe and effective and not too drastic. (Continued)
