Healing Stuff...

[IrisRavenstar]

I thought I'd start a thread on any kind of self-healing, which is often dream inspired, and invite anyone who wants to add to it!

I was having a problem with sun damaged skin, and warts, and my dreams kept assuring me there was no cancer, but I still wanted to get rid of the spots and warts and sense of it not being healthy. I finally decided to try making a special oil blend and it's working wonderfully to clear up all sorts of things, and restoring my skin to a more youthful elastic state. Here's my recipe!

Skin Nourishing Oil
(1 oz. jar)

4 drops each essential oil:

Helichrysum
Carrot Seed
Rose
Patchouli

1 1/2 tsp. Jojoba oil
1 1/2 tsp. Apricot Kernel oil
3 tsp. Sweet Almond oil
1/2 tsp Vitamin E oil

Blend in one oz. jar with toothpick, or multiply to make a larger container. Easy! It smells yummy, and you only need a tiny bit smoothed on face and forarms and backs of hands... anyplace that's sundamaged. I use it at bedtime. I just dab my finger in the jar, and massage it in a bit, as massage will also help blood flow to the skin.

The 1 oz. jar has lasted me a couple of months, along with using a Helichrysum Hydrasol during the day. For the warts, I also take an herb called Pau D'Arco, either in capsules or tea. It's all getting all cleared up with no harsh medications or anything, which I love! Age spots are even fading. My jar is almost empty, so it's time to make a fresh batch!

Enjoy! And tell me what kinds of yummy healing things YOU do, okay?

Cure for warts.
I learned this from my foster grandmother, she used it on the many warts my sister had on her hands. She used pinto beans only though I learned later and have successfully used the potatoes too. I have done this on myself, my children and friends. I also used it on a friends husband as he had a wart on his hand. He was VERY sceptical about it at the time but when his wart disappeared a month or so later he was no longer a sceptic.
Cut a potato in half and rub each half on the wart (so 1 whole potato for each wart). Bury the potato. As it grows the wart will disappear. Same for the pinto beans. Cut one in half for each wart (this is a bit more difficult). Rub each half across the wart (1 whole bean for each wart). Put the halves in a small jar of water and secure with a lid. You can put more then one whole bean in each jar. Take the jar to the woods or similar and toss it behind you (try not to hit a rock with it or a tree and break the jar though). Don't go back to look at it. Forget about it and soon the wart(s) will get smaller and smaller and disappear.
Ok that all probably sounds pretty darn crazy and no it's NOT witch craft. You don't say spell words or anything just do exactly what I've said here nothing more. Just an old home remedy that works.
Anyway that's for warts. Other then that I only know healing teas.

Wow, Mwyna, that is strange! Are the potatoes or pinto beans cooked, or both raw? I'm trying to picture trying to cut a raw pinto bean in half. I'd pass on that anyway if I have to throw glass jars around my garden, or even leave them out for the critters to break. But the potato sounds intriguing, I guess. LOL... where did anyone even get the idea??? Did you ever try just rubbing them on and *not* doing the other stuff?

I don't know, there's healing rationale behind the ingredients in my recipe, but I'm not so sure about this! But then, I spent some time trying to do some of Edgar Cayce's exercises that allegedly would give anyone perfect vision, thinking no glasses would be nice, only I couldn't keep it up for the full time, as it was boring and seemed silly.

I'm assuming the pinto beans also grow, sprout in the jar? Which would mean they couldn't be cooked. I sometimes sprout various seeds, like alfalfa, mung beans, radish, for sprouts to cook or put in salads. I have sprouting jars that have screens in the lids, so you rinse them regularly, but don't actually leave them sitting in the water, or throw them in the yard... lol. I love peanut butter and alfalfa sprout sandwiches on whole grain bread... yum!

I wonder if you eat the potatoes or pinto beans that grow, will you get your warts back?

Pinto beans ARE hard to cut. Yes both must be raw. And I once saved the pinto bean jar myself out of curiosity when I had a wart on my hand. I hid it under the kitchen sink. Didn't work. So I had to do it the proper way and it worked. NO clue how/why seriously.
The potato I used for the wart on my sons thumb I planted in the garden. Even when his wart finally disappeared I forgot about the potato. My husband wanted to dig it up and eat it but I said no and threw the top of the plant in the bin and left the rest in the ground. That's a good question, would you get your wart back? Not sure I want to test that one hrm . I can't tell you why it works but it does. When my grandmother did it for my sister, her hands were covered in warts. Every medicine had been tried and nothing worked until my grandmother stepped in.
and lol on sprouts. People reading this must think this is one strange conversation

Ok searching the web, it seems these are both known remedies for warts though some people do things a little different ie some rub a potato on the warts every evening for a week, some wish their warts away while rubbing the beans on and so on. Strange hu? But works!

That is strange, yes, but I'll bet there's a chemical in the potatoes and beans that explains it. I know one wart remedy I tried was putting a slice of raw garlic on the wart... you tape it on with a bandaid, and you're supposed to change it every day and keep it there until the stupid thing falls off. Problem is, I've got very sensitive skin, and the garlic burned the skin around the wart, which meant when I finally gave up and quit using it, the skin was raw, and the wart spread into the damaged area, so ended up bigger! Ach!!!

I was really glad when I finally hit on Helichrysum, and the blend in my oil, everything in it nurtures skin. So, no burning or anything at all. Helichrysum is a flower that is commonly dried, so is also called Everlasting. It smells lovely.

I have a hard time cutting my Benadryl in half... I only take a child's dose, and sometimes, I need to cut that in half because it's too strong. I'm hypersensitve to a lot of things. It's a hard tablet, and I think cutting a pinto bean would be even harder to do. Potatoes sound possible though, and no, I don't think I'd try eating it afterwards. Compost heaps are good though.

I was looking through some of my old files, and found this funny dream and synchronicity series... thought I'd share it!

Dream: I was with a couple of elderly gray-haired women (much older than me, of course, at least when I'm not looking in the mirror... lol!), and we were baking cookies together and arranging them on large plates in my craft room, which has a window over my driveway. I kept having to stop and go outside and shut off the alarm on my car, which kept going off whenever I started arranging the cookies again. EOD

I thought this was obvious, since I have an awful tendency to go on periodic sugar binges, which are mostly cookies, and cars often represent the physical body. The alarms really have been going off, demanding attention. The most recent binge involved too much chocolate, especially chocolate chip cookies, and I've now developed an allergy where I break out in hives from it. So, the dream was clarifying for me that the cookie binging really is the problem.

Well, just to make sure, I got a little synchronicity to verify the dream. I went to buy a couple of plants after the dentist, and then got Chinese takeout for me and Shaman for lunch at a place across the street. My fortune cookie says: "Some men dream of fortunes, others dream of cookies." LOLOL! Okay, so I've gotta start dreaming of gold instead, I guess. Maybe I should play their lucky numbers on the lottery?

End old post...

I'm getting to where the sugar binges are fewer and farther between, but had to laugh at this! This is how I get so much of my healing information, and I just wanted to share that. This one is from several years ago, though it wasn't dated in my files, so not sure how many years!

Now I'm off to bed... may take it easy this weekend, or might decide to check in... not sure. If I don't see you, you all have a good one!
