Herbal Milk Toner
Milk toners are very soothing and nourishing for dry,
sunburned or sensitive skin. Use whole milk for dry or
normal skin and skim milk for oily skin. Most herbs
can be found at health food stores.
Dry Skin Herbs: Elderflower, linden flowers, marigold
Normal Skin Herbs: Chamomile, fennel, lemon balm,
parsley, rosemary
Oily Skin Herbs: Chamomile, fennel, lemon balm,
parsley, rosemary, peppermint, sage
2 tbsp. dried or 1 tbsp. fresh chopped herb
2/3 cup milk.
1. Place the herb in a bowl or pitcher.
2. Boil milk and pour over herb. Cover and leave until cold.
3. Strain through muslin or cheesecloth.
4. Store in a sterilized bottle or jar in the refrigerator. Use within 5 days.
One of the simplest herbal first aids for ulcers is the
astringent WHITE OAK BARK. A more complex and extensive remedy would use: MYRRH, GOLDEN SEAL, CAYENNE (incidentally this remedy is also a
good vulnerary for open wounds, burns, the control of pyorrhoea and canker sores).
Don't compromise yourself.
You're all you've got.
