I will try this with the Lavender, I need to find out what the E means but the health food store will know and they have several brands of essential oils. It is only the last two years since an illness that I get this problem.<br />I am sorry to do this to you but I know to hydrate with a migraine but its good to be reminded. Now the bourbon I have to ask... is it something about bourbon specifically that works? Or could it be brandy or some other thing? I am very curious about this! Also I had never thought of it.<br />I could make a joke and say does it get rid of the migraine or do you just not care that you have one? lol But seriously I believe in this as my parents and Grandparents used alcohol medicinally, I had hust not thought of for a migraine.<br />Thank you for this. I have been desperate re my ear. One time I could not get to the doctor fast enough and it burst and then a few days later it burst again. It was not good. Since it flares up every now and then. Thanks for your time in telling me this, love Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-57491790723822197112015-07-03T05:41:02.207-07:002015-07-03T05:41:02.207-07:00Many have success with treating ear infections by ...Many have success with treating ear infections by putting a drop of lavender E oil on a cotton ball and placing that in the ear overnight. The lavender kills the infection without actually putting the oil in the ear which should never be done. Lavender can be used on the kidneys for blood pressure issues. One drop on each kidney at bedtime. High blood pressure can be caused by an infection in the kidneys so I caution you that the blood pressure could correct after a few days and meds could make it go too low. this happened with a friend of mine. She no longer needs the meds after using the oil. Our first defense for a migraine is to drink 32 ounces of water. If that does not work then we use bourbon medicinally. It works! 2-3 tablespoons does the trick. I hope this helps!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-75993437645122417442015-07-02T19:49:01.844-07:002015-07-02T19:49:01.844-07:00Annabel, after reading this post late last night, ...Annabel, after reading this post late last night, I went and looked at Brandy's post!

In summer I will be planting plenty to do this.<br />It is funny we both have been reading Brandy's blog long before we "met' each other and long enough to respect her opinions and listen.<br />Many countries are not far behind Greece.

I personally value it more than I can express! I lived in the midwest (Illinois) until I was 14 years old. It was very common for preparedness (tornadoes and snow), gardens, putting up food in the summer, etc. My parents moved us to Arizona and all of that went out the window. A decent pantry was still kept in my parent's home, but not like when I was younger at all. All of you ladies that I've "met" online have become my teachers and mentors, I am not kidding! Thank you so much for pouring into us. It's really appreciated. :)<br /><br />Dear Annabel, Thank YOU for providing this place. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that the information that has been shared here over the last several months has been life-changing. You are correct in pointing out that this in fact a gift, as well as a ministry. It's beautiful to learn from such wise women. Everyone of us brings something to the table to share. Thank you, thank you!<br /><br />Much Love,<br />Colette xxxColettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495414615748577448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-63156705860524410222015-07-02T13:33:51.186-07:002015-07-02T13:33:51.186-07:00Good tips, Teri. Thank you for sharing with all of...Good tips, Teri. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Your ministry of helping others in preparing is such a blessing.<br /><br />I like to freeze whole cherry tomatoes and sliced strawberries. I just put the (whole) washed and dried cherry tomatoes into a quart canning jar (no liquid) and stick them in the freezer. They are great to use in Swiss Steak or any Soup/Stew. For the strawberries, I just wash and dry them; slice them into a pint or quart canning jar; and layer them with organic sugar (again no liquid added). When they thaw they taste just like fresh.<br /><br />I, too, admire Brandy very much. In the years of reading her I have never seen her post a warning as in this last post. I think many of us feel that time is short to prepare. One only has to read the international news and the international financial news daily to see how fragile is the worldwide economy. <br /><br />There is a wonderful website that shows the debt of various nations compared to their GDP; not good for many countries.<br /> http://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html<br /><br />The posts and everyone's comments, which add such good information, are very helpful.

We do need to fill on some areas in our pantry.<br /><br />I know I have said this before here but learn to use essential oils and get some basic ones to keep your family healthy in a time of crisis. If you are in the US I recommend heritageessentialoils.com. They have the best oils for the best prices. Anyone can access their educational information though and Linda has a lot of information so just read, read, read.
