Lemon Balm Honey Bee Mouthwash
25 fresh lemon balm leaves
2 oz chartreuse liqueur
8 oz glass jar with screw-top
5 inch square cheese cloth
6 oz distilled water
1 tsp honey
8 oz amber glass bottle with screw top
Coarsely chop lemon balm. In the glass jar, combine the lemon balm and the liqueur. Set aside in a cool, dark place for two weeks to extract the healing essences from the lemon balm leaves. Shake the bottle once a day. Place the cheese cloth in a fine-gauge sieve and strain the tincture into a glass bowl. Discard the herb. Add the distilled water and honey. Whisk to dissolve the honey. Transfer to the amber bottle. Rinse or gargle twice a day with a half oz of the mouthwash.
Adding pomegranates to your fruit bowl may protect your health on several fronts. Pomegranates may inhibit the growth of breast and prostate cancer, improve blood vessel function, and protect the heart, preliminary results of several studies suggest. The fruit contains very high levels of polyphenol antioxidants, compounds that protect against a host of diseases.
