A Blue Thumb or how you can keep the Nails on your finger.

Many an occasion we may hit with something harder than Flesh and Bones onto our Fingers. Most of the Time the Nail is so Badly bruised and a Hematoma developes with much Pressure that the Pain turns almost unbearable.In such a Case True Solomons Seal comes for the Rescue. Put an Compress soaked with non-dilated Tincture on it. Keep it and refresh with the Tincture till the other Day. Even for a moment the Pain seems to get worse, soon it will be totally Painfree and if you renew the Compress ,many a Time you will not loose the Fingernail.

Varicocele , spare them the Surgery with some good Herbs

We had a 14 year old Boy with a Varicocele developing. My Opinion is to spare any Boy or Girl Surgery on their Genitals. SO I boldly told the Parents, that Herbs will do the Task. We used the following Regimen:
Internally a Mix of Parts equal in Tincture of Ruscus,Collinsonia,Aesculus and Hydrocotyle for the venous Congestion.
a Mix of Blood-moving Herbs : Zanthoxyllum, Carthamus, Achillea and Vaccinium myrtillus.
a Mix to feed the Testicles : Cola, Damiana, Serenoa, Avena with Tribulus and Cervus Corni.
Externally a Gel of Aesculus applied to the Area twice a Day.
Within three Months there was no trace of Varicocele anymore and also the Boy moved in Puberty to the approbiate Stage. Even after a year of followup there was no relapse.
Of course this Treatment without the hormonal Mix, has resolved many Varicosities we treated with predictable success.

Lavender gets the Fire out of Burns

In our Abbey we use a lot of Lavender for Herbal Products to sell. That is why we always keep several Liters of High Quality essential Oil of Lavender in our Storage. In accordance to the famous Dr. Valnet it does Miracles in regard to severe Burns. I remembered an anecdote on this use,
once I severly burned my Hand on a hot Pan. This was second Degree and I immediately rushed for the Lavender Oil. I poored it on the Burn and also put a Compress infused with it on my Hand. You could feel how the Oil drew the Heat out of the Burn, the Pain left and the Burn disappeared within the other Day without blistering or Scar. Since them we have shared this in our Classes and everybody that used it could confirm my own Experience.

Short of a Miracle

European Betony (Stachys officinalis) one of the oldest Herbs in monastic Pharmacopeia has been out of use as an major Woundhealer for long centuries, never the less , disuse does not make Herbs inactive however. My Assistent recently dropped a Bottle with Betony Tincture. Being shocked he severely cut his Hand whilst picking up the broken Pieces of Glass, one Piece pierced his Hand between Thumb and Finger coming out on the other side. He put immediately a saturated compress of pure Betony Tincture onto his wounds and just bandaged it lightly. After one Day the Wound was already closed and on the third Day it was almost untraceable.

Some Herbal Musings and an Apology

Dear Friends,
last year we got the News that we will not be able to stay in our old Property. We had to search for a new Convent Building which was very time consuming. To make it short we found one end of the Year and started moving things in February, with almost 20000 Hours of human Labor we now nearly finished and hope to get some normality back. Communication was very limited during this ordeal.

Always in the hardest times, Herbs are very faithful Companions and it is close to a miracle that almost 90% of our Plants survived the move to our new Grounds. Some of our Plants where almost dead and we where close to discard them, but now they miraculously recovered and looking better than ever. We had the Chance to take our bedding Soil with us and this was much appreciated by our herbal Companions. Even the Cats accepted the new Place. Sadly our oldest Tom Cat Snoopy died in August on Kidney Failure, he was about twenty years old. The Burial was very heart-taking.

We now have 45000 square meters of grounds with a many of old Trees.
