Menstrual Cramps

Make a Yarrow bath- 2 qts boiling water over a handful of Yarrow herb.
Cover and steep 20 min. Strain and add to bath water.
Very helpful at the begin of menstrual period.

Also a tincture of Yarrow 15 drops 3 times a day in advance of your cycle helps prevent cramping.

Homemade Cough Syrup

I have never been brave enough to try this, but it must work because I have seen many different versions of it-

Cover 1c. thinly sliced onions with 1/2c. honey. Allow to sit overnight,
add a small amount of pure water.

This is suppose to be very beneficial for colds and sore throats.
