Sinus and sleep rub
I am always interested in Lip Balms! I still can’t quite get them right… maybe her instructions will help.
I would love to try the pregnancy tea as I am pregnant with my first baby!
Pregnancy tea because it seems like I know more pregnant women than non-pregnant women right now! It’d be a great way to care for them.
They all look good – I wish I has the sinus and sleep rub this winter!
Definitely the women’s monthly tea. After a rough year physically my hormones are beginning to get back to “normal”. Anything to help regulate the process of normalcy is welcomed. Also, my hubby suffers from migraines so the Adults headache and Migraine Soother would be fantastic.
I don’t know that I can pick just one, but given my son has been battling ear infections and a cold I would have to say the Earache soother and the Immune Booster. Thanks for all the great info you provide on your blog.
There are more than one recepies which I would love to try, since we are with more than one in this household and there alway something that needs attention. I have a herbgarden so I would love to have more info on how to use them wisely for the health of my family.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter this give-away!
I am in desperate need of the Sinus Steam recipe!
I liked her on FB!
The headache massage oil sounds great. I think everyone in my family would benefit from it!
I’d love to try the headache soother, headaches are about the only time I resort to OTC meds!
The headache recipe sounds most captivating to me! My husband tends to get them very easily and we have been looking for a more natural approach to suppressing them!
The aches and pains massage oil sounds great. Can’t wait to read how to make this. There are at least 20 recipes I want to make right away!
I would like to know the recipe for headache massage gel. I recently had a migraine.
All of them look amazing!!! I am most intrigued by the women’s monthly tea…because anything to help during that time would be a blessing around here.
The recipe for cough syrup intrigues me the most. My kids are always coughing at night when they are sick and it keeps them awake. I really don’t like having to give them “mainstream” cough suppressants, so I would love a recipe for something natural!
The recipe for ACHES AND PAINS MASSAGE OIL captures my interest above all other recipes in HERBAL NURTURING’s Table of Contents.
I have the challenge of living with a permanently broken vertabrae in my lower back which requires my back muscles to compensate for the support my bone structure cannot provide. Of course, my back muscles frown upon this extra workload, rebelling by screaming at me through chronic inflammation and spasms. I’m loathe to take pain meds, and am eager to find a natural soothing therapy that will allow me to engage daily living with a bit more vigor!
chapped lip balm- my lips are always chapped!
Fevers are worrisome, and are hard on everyone. I’d like to see the solution offered in the Fever Reducer Tea. Thanks!
With five little ladies in our home, we go through oodles of lipbalm! I would love to see the recipe for the chapped lip balm, as I’ve been experimenting to find the perfect concoction
Became a fan on FB!
They all sound great! This kind of stuff is right up my alley! The calming massage oil or women’s monthly tea sound most interesting. I love having things calm, balanced and peaceful! Thanks!
I’m a fan on FB!
If I had to choose just one, it would probably be the cough syrup recipe. When my kids have a cough at night, I’m always torn between wanting them to get the rest they need to heal and not wanting to give over-the-counter stuff.
This book looks so good! I think the headache recipe would be great because that’s what we encounter most often in our home.
I’d like to try the pregnancy tea, since I’m 18 weeks along in my first pregnancy. My husband and I have been moving towards a more natural lifestyle and I am very interested in creating my own remedies.
I’d love to try the earache soothers. My 2 year old is recovering from a nasty ear infection and would love to have a homemade remedy to provide some relief. But saw a lot of recipes that look fun to try!
I think both the chapped lip balm and sinus & sleep rub would both be very useful right now.
Several of the headache relief recipes look great. My mom and sis suffer from migraines and I would love to give them something new to try.
Thanks!
OH WOW!!! ONLY ONE?? I would love all the cold and cough stuff, tis the season! The earache soother looks wonderful. Oh and the goldenseal eyedrops, as we have a nasty cold in our eyes right now! Wonderful resource, I do hope I win!
I LOVE herbs! The calendula salve sounds wonderful as I am planning on growing some calendula this spring. Thank you.
Chapped Lip Balm-my family uses lip balm so much during the winter months and Adults’ Headaches & Migraine Soother-I have experienced migraines lately and would love to try something to relieve the pain.
Licorice spice cold infusion sounds very interesting, good, actually! I would try it to keep a cold away!
Thanks for the giveaway.
bedtime tea
So many of them look good! But I think the bedtime tea interests me the most right now, my whole family could use it!!!
I would say the calendula salve since I know it could be used for so many different things.
