Granny Tackett's Arthritis Tea & Tincture
Arthritis Tea
Ingredients:
3
T Juniper Berries (dried)
1
½ c Dandelion Leaves (dried)
6
t White Willow Bark
2
t Orange Rind (dried)
2
T Egg Shell (dried, roasted, crushed)
Combine
all of the above ingredients and store in a tight lidded jar out of
sunlight.
Add
1 heaping Tablespoon to the automatic coffee maker filter (or tie up
in a coffee filter), add the amount of water that will fill your cup,
and make the tea. You will need to put the water back through at
least 3 times, just pour the pot of hot water back in and let it run
through its cycle each time. Once the tea looks about as strong as
its going to get, then it's ready. If you're only placing the bagged
tea in a cup to steep, then let it steep for at least 5 minutes,
preferably longer.
1
T Black Strap Molasses
1
T Honey
Add
the above for flavor as well as extra nutrition for the arthritis
remedy.
Drink
the tea a couple of times a day until your arthritis pains go away.
This
will not
cure the arthritis, but it will
improve, if not completely relieve the discomfort.
Arthritis
Tincture
Place
all of the herbs listed above in a tight lidded jar, then pour vodka
over the herbs to completely cover. Place in a dark cabinet, removing daily to shake the
mixture completely. After 4-6 weeks remove the jar and strain out the
herbs, squeezing to get as much of the tincture out of them as
possible.
To
use, place four 4 oz droppersful (not
drops)
of tincture into a cup of warm (not hot) water, add the molasses and
honey and drink slowly.
