Slippery elm, Oak Bark, Comfrey root (all powders, 2 oz each, 3-4 oz slippery elm)
Slippery Elm Bark: Stir one teaspoon into 3 cups of warm water. Sweeten with honey as a food. Make thick mucilage to use as a paste to protect an open wound. For wounds, mix with the other two herbs in equal parts, mix with water until a paste, apply and let dry as a healing bandage. Keep moist, but not wet.
Oak Bark: make tea to use for douche, wash or rinse for yeast. Feed by dropper full to babies with thrush. To make tea, put one teaspoon of the herb into one cup of distilled water. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a very low simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off and let cool. Use just warmer than room temperature. A pinch of the powder can also be put into a small amount of juice for thrush. The tea can be put on cloth over varicose veins. Mix with comfrey root powder in equal parts. Mix two teaspoons into 3-4 ounces of distilled water. Use as an implant for hemorrhoids. Implants are put in and left in as long as possible, preferably overnight.
Comfrey Root: Make tea by the above recipe to drink with injuries or any type of irritable bowel or colitis. Easing to headaches and to liver stress. Apply anytime there is an injury by itself or with the other two herbs.

Miracle Tincture (4 ounces)
This is applied topically only. It is applied and rubbed in to any injury, any painful area of the body, any wound. It is put on cloth and placed on the body and covered with plastic and bound on at night for any chronic pain or degenerative condition or severe acute injury (broken bone). It is dripped into the scalp and rubbed in and left there for dandruff.

Pine Gum Tincture (2 oz)
Use 1-2 droppers full by mouth to quell bleeding, especially in the brain or head. Rub in topically to superficial wounds to seal the surface as the alcohol evaporates and to speed healing. Generally rubbed in after miracle tincture is rubbed in and allowed to partially dry. The combination is considered ideal.

Lower Bowel Powder (4 oz)
Make enemas with this formula by adding one teaspoon to every 3 cups of distilled water. This is stirred together and use in a bulb syringe for children or higher volume (1.5 teaspoons to 5 cups of distilled water) in an enema bag for adults. Generally, this is put in quickly, kept in as long as possible and voided. The goal is to get down to the loose bowel movements from the upper large intestine. The enema is repeated after each voiding until this goal is reached. Can be stirred into juice (one teaspoon full) three times per day to deal with traveling constipation. More can be used if needed in stubborn cases. Drink plenty of fluids with this to facilitate ongoing bowel movements and eat high water content fiber (raw fruits and raw non-starchy vegetables.

I-Charge (4 oz)
Use this for any infection. It can be put in a little water or directly on the tongue. Trickling it down the throat for sore or ragged throat or infection in the throat (like strep) will create immediate relief and will disinfect. Will decongest, deepen and improve breathing a great deal (making it a possible inclusion in snake bite and anaphylactic shock) and will clear sinuses and release pressure in the head. My favorite immediate killer of cancer and all types of infection (though can overheat the body if the infection is of a sort that hides well). Generally is a one time, miraculous cure, but is okay to use for stubborn cases as well since it decongests, disinfects and boosts immune system. Can also be used daily to heal a weakened immune system (smaller doses…usually 1 dropper full 3 times daily).

For acute infection, use 2 droppers full every 30-60 minutes, either in water or from the dropper on the tongue. May also be used 1 T per 2 cups of water to make an enema to replace the cayenne, garlic, apple cider vinegar enema for serious infection, flu , etc. As with all infections, this remedy should be used with a diet of just fruit, juices, herbal teas and smoothies, with wheatgrass and slippery elm as supplements for substance. This should be followed until healing is complete.

For headaches, this often works very fast, just take a dropper on the tongue and let it trickle down or take it in one ounce of water and swallow it on empty. Decongests the head and clears the liver quickly. Kills all manner of bugs and is a very powerful mainstay.

Rescue Remedy (1/3 oz)
Use as directed for any trauma or traumatic incident for adults or children.

Teething Tincture (4 oz)
Use 1 dropper full by mouth every 30 minutes for teething or growing pains. For teething pains, sore throat or mouth, apply to the area or let trickle down the throat to get the numbing effect of the clove oil.
Use 3 droppers full in a little water for digestive discomfort as needed or 3 times daily as a general tonic and stabilizing nutritive.

Liver Transition Formula (1 bottle)
For depression, moodiness, adhd or any psychogenic problems of any kind, take 6 capsules 4 times daily until abated, then reduce to 3 times daily for one week thereafter.
For mild liver cleansing or protection from liver-toxin exposure, take 4 capsules 3-5 times daily while exposure lasts and for one day thereafter.

Liver Gall Bladder Tincture (2 oz)
For loss of appetite for any reason, use this to improve digestion, unblock the congestion of the liver and to keep the liver safe from damage due to infection or toxicity. Should rapidly stimulate appetite for more wholesome foods. Should be used with a fruitarian diet, fresh juices and herbal teas for food. For infants and small children, we use ½ dropper every half hour until appetite returns or for 8 doses. Then we go to three times daily until appetite is regained. For adults, a full dropper at the same intervals for the same situation. Future dietary wisdom is urged.

Plantain Ointment (2 oz)
Apply a lump of the ointment to the entry point of any infection, puncture wound, bee sting, snake bite, or other venomous bite. Place a band-aid over the area and leave on until melted and dissipating, then replace with a new lump. Do not clean off, just add more if and as needed.

Black Ointment (2 oz)
Apply a lump as with plantain ointment to any wound where infection or poison needs to be drawn out. Apply to slivers or impaled objects under the skin to draw them out. Apply to skin cancers or any localized poison or abnormality. Will do no harm even if it does no good, so think freely. Bandage over the lump and leave in place undisturbed, replacing 1-2 times daily. Keep on until goal is achieved. Must be a lump to be effective.

Kidney Formula SP-6 (1 bottle)
Use for troubles urinating, any urinary or renal tract infection or for fluid retention. Use 6 capsules 3 times daily and drink one gallon of distilled water each day.

Hydrangea root (4 oz)
Use 1 1/4 cup of the cut, dried root per gallon of apple juice. Place on the stove in a large pot and heat to a boil. Immediately reduce and let very light simmer for 2 hours. After reaching boil, 2 ounces may be taken off and strained and drunk every 20-30 minutes for pain due to kidney stone. This is maintained until pain is abated, then 2 ounces are drunk each waking hour for three days. Specific to kidney stone attacks.

Chest Rub (2 oz)
Apply glob to outer ear canal, plugging the canal for ear infections/aches. Then massage more in under the ear, on the cheek, forehead and base of skull. Repeat as needed for discomfort until ear infection is cleared.
Rub into liver (right side under ribs) to clear liver pain and aid with headaches and abdominal discomfort from any non-traumatic source.
Rub into both liver and face and neck for troubles going to sleep or for labored breathing. Can be used in conjunction with lobelia internally.

Oregano Oil (.3 oz)
Used only for specific, threatening infections or those in places with low circulation. It is diluted (20 drops per 1/3 ounce of olive oil) and only a few drops of that are used each time. May be taken on the tongue or applied anywhere topically away from sensitive areas, like the eyes, ears, nose, genitalia, etc. Dose frequency can range from 2 times daily to one time every hour.

Marshmallow root powder (3 oz)
May be made into tea for emergency food for an infant. (all teas, unless otherwise specified, are made one teaspoon per one cup of distilled water) This is also made into a large quantity and limbs with cellulitis/blood poisoning are soaked in this hot and alternated to ice water back and forth until completely abated. Cayenne pepper (about 2 Tablespoons) is added to the marshmallow tea. Marshmallow tea may also enable stopped urine. Marshmallow can be taken in large amounts for Crohn's, IBS, IBD, Colitis, etc. It becomes an intestinal poultice.

Complete Bone and Tissue Ointment (4 oz)
This ointment is applied freely to burns and open wounds as well as to any troubled skin. It is bound on and kept on as described in the audio until complete healing is experienced. Many times we will pack an open wound and tape it shut to keep it closed and full of the ointment. We also apply blanched leaves over the burn on top of the ointment and under the loose, cloth binding.

Yellow Dock Combination (pwd 4 oz)
Used for hemorrhoids, prolapses, candida, low iron, low back pain. Kills candida and heals weak tissue in the lower pelvic region. Tea is used as douche and as tea to drink. Powder is stirred into water and used as a rectal implant or stirred into juice and given to children with thrush top or bottom. For low back pain, may be taken in capsules or drunk as tea.

Jurassic Green (4 oz container)
This is used as emergency food for children and adults. May be stirred into apple sauce or bananas. It also may be eaten whenever there is blood loss, anemia or any weakness due to blood or digestion. This is something I use for newborns who seem to have failure to thrive. I will give them small amounts of by having the mother lick her finger and dip it in the powder and then roll it in the infant's mouth. We also will mix with a little water and apply to the spine of the infant.

Ear and Nerve (2 oz)
This formula is placed in ears following a couple drops of garlic oil and the ears are massaged and plugged. This is used for ear infections/aches, hearing loss, any neurological problems and seizures, etc. It is also used internally for stress, general pain or general irritation. Also internally for all neurological problems. It has been applied topically to pull out cancers and may help with abnormal blockages due to bone spurs, inflammation, allergies, etc.

Garlic Oil (1 oz)
Garlic oil is put in the ears for any infection and rubbed into the cavity below the ear, onto the cheek, on the forehead and into the base of the skull. Ears are plugged with cotton. For chronic infections or hearing loss, Ear and Nerve is added (2-3 drops) into the ear after the garlic oil. In this case, only 2-3 drops should be put in the ear of the garlic oil so there is room for the Ear and Nerve formula. Garlic oil is also put in the ears for any sinus infection or upper respiratory or lower respiratory infection, congestion or discomfort.

Herbal Eyewash (1 oz)
3-5 drops of this tincture are added to one eyewash cup full of distilled water. This is then either dripped with an eyedropper into the eye or washed with the eyewash cup into the eye. This is done for any infection, injury, stress or sudden loss of visual acuity. It may be done as often as hourly or as infrequently as 2 times daily. Washing should continue for 30-60 seconds at a time. Generally, some is also drunk of the same mixture, so another ounce with a half dropper of the tincture should be made to drink.

TJ Clark Mineral Water (4 oz)
This is applied to any open wound where the burning pain is contraindicated for any reason. A band-aid wet with the water can be put over any injury. A dropper of this may be taken for any instability of the individual or weakness or fatigue. This can be repeated every hour until stability returns. Generally, it is taken in water, though this is not necessary. Is both healing, electric, full of electrolytes and is disinfecting. May be added to water to drink to recover from or prevent dehydration.

Super Calc Tea (8 oz)
This is usually used for injuries to bones or joints or for growing pains or teething pains. It also helps quell inflammation and environmental toxicity due to the content of horsetail. Will ease pain from broken bones and damaged joints very quickly. Can be taken by the dropper for babies or a teaspoon per hour or more for larger kids or adults. We use it very frequently when there is a serious injury. This is also used frequently for tooth decay or cavities. Does not kill infection, but rebuilds the damaged tissue and eases pain due to bone or tooth loss.

Ma Huang Tincture (4 oz)
Used only for asthma attacks or severe allergies where an epi-pen would be used otherwise. Generally, one tablespoon is used for adults or ½ teaspoon for children. Do not use this product for any other purpose unless recommended by a qualified herbalist or physician. Seek medical help ASAP for any condition which you are not certain you are competent to handle.

Echincea Angustifolia Root Tincture (2 oz)
This is used only for ulcers of skin and stomach and for snake bites and serious venomous bites. For bites, one ounce of the tincture is drunk immediately and no other food is consumed from that moment on. The old herbalists used to first use Lobelia in large doses and then induce vomiting to empty the stomach first. Then the Echinacea was drunk to thicken the skin and protect against sudden spread of the venom. For ulcers, it is applied topically to the skin ulcer or a teaspoon is taken on an empty stomach for the stomach ulcers.

Herbal First Aid Recipes and Applications

Cayenne Pepper

This is just the pepper in a bag or container of some type. We use two of our keyring sized containers of cayenne.

Cayenne Tincture
Tinctures are all made similarly, so please use these basic instructions for each tincture below, paying attention to specifics about menstruum. The menstruum is the liquid in which the tincture is set. For cayenne tincture, we use grain vodka or a half and half mixture of everclear (or equivalent) and distilled water. We fill a container 2/3 with cayenne pepper and fill that up with the menstruum, stirring a bit until the liquid is well stirred into all the powder. Then we add enough menstruum to cover the pepper. If we are using a quart jar or a pint jar of the canning type or similar, we cover with 1 inch of menstruum. This is then shaken every day for exactly 14 DAYS. On the 14^th day, it is strained out.

Generally, I use a white –T-shirt cloth that I can wrap around the herbs and I squeeze it through as well as I can to get all the liquid out that I can. This is bottled and stored for use anytime. When friends help me with the tincturing, I use gloves of some type for this tincture because the cayenne tincture in your skin can burn and some people will get red and rashy with this, which can last about three days for some people. Thus please take this caution under advisement whenever you are making any type of hot pepper tincture. Dust masks may also be needed as the pepper gas goes into the air! Doing it outside often makes it work fine. We rinse well, but do not soap or otherwise treat our straining cloth. If we feel the need to make it absolutely clean before doing the next tincture, we either replace it or wash it in hot water and distilled vinegar which will get it mostly cleaned out so that you do not get trace amounts of cayenne in your other tinctures. I never do this and have never noticed a difference. It is just washed with hot water and dried so that it is clean but no soap residue is present. I would much rather have cayenne tincture residue than soap or dryer sheet residue.

Lobelia Tincture (2 ounces)
Lobelia Tincture is made the same as cayenne, but it is made in half raw apple cider vinegar and half grain vodka (or equivalent). This is the menstruum. All else is done exactly the same.

Slippery elm, Oak Bark, Comfrey root
Like the cayenne powder, this is placed in three separate containers sufficient to hold them and keep them dry. Usually, I use some tightly sealable plastic container. Some worry about plastic residue in their herbs, but I have never seen this make any difference in emergency cases and so we just worry about keeping our herbs safe and worry about perfectly pure herbs when we go home to do our long-term healing if we need to do it or just to maintenance our health if we need to do that. For saving lives, I do not worry about a small amount of plastic residue. Better that than have no herbs at all because the glass one broke!

Miracle Tincture
As this is a formula, the combined herbs are mixed as instructed first and then they are put into a container and regular tincturing instructions are followed thereafter. Miracle tincture is half raw apple cider vinegar and half grain vodka or equivalent unless any of the herbs are fresh. In that case, the fresh herbs are set separately and half raw apple cider vinegar and half everclear (or equivalent) are used so that the water content of the menstruum is lower.
