Backyard Healing Salve ~ My first Contributor Post!

Remember at the beginning of the month when I told you about a new blog called Modern Alternative Health? This blog is written by a group of alternative health writers from a wide variety of backgrounds and I've been blessed to be a part of it!

Today is my first post. Since this is back to school month for most students, I'm sharing a recipe for Backyard Healing Salve that you can make from plants you can probably find in your own backyard making it easy to treat those brand new bumps and bruises with a sustainable alternative you made yourself. Please visit Modern Alternative Health to find the recipe and many other informative posts about caring for your health by alternative means.
Modern medicine and pharmaceuticals definitely have a place in our lives but there are many issues we can safely handle with alternative means. Visit your doctor, learn about your health and see if an alternative method of treatment is right for you.

Modern Alternative Health Launches Today!

Today is the beginning of an exciting new adventure for me and The Woodwife's Journal!
If you follow Modern Alternative Mama, you know there's a wealth of information there on applying natural/alternative methods and materials to many of our daily tasks from health, food, and family to overall life...so much so that it became an overwhelming job to cover all the health related topics that deserve attention. Thus the birth of Modern Alternative Health, the newest blog in the Modern Alternative series.

A few months ago, I received a surprising email inviting me to become a contributing writer for Modern Alternative Health! Me! What an exciting and challenging opportunity! Many thanks to MAH editor, Beth Grice for finding me and asking me to be a part of this amazing team!
You may have already read about me and what's happening here at The Woodwife's journal and my interest in natural and herbal alternatives, but if not, read this to get started.
You can read about the rest of the MAH team here.

It's back to school month for many of us and we'll be talking about treating lice, strep throat, preventing illness back to school illness, and how to use some popular herbs. And that's just September!

Be sure to visit the site to enter some pretty exciting launch week giveaways!

Check out our Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/ModernAlternativeHealth and "like" it to keep up to date on what's happening @MAH!

What The Woodwife's Journal is all about.

This is a journal about my quest for herbal healing, herbal & wild crafting, soapmaking, whole foods, repurposing and living a self sustaining life. Meant only to share information and personal experience but never as medical advice.

My mission is to encourage you to live closer to nature, share herbal ideas and information.

In His wisdom, God has blessed us with plants that provide a synergy of therapeutic benefits which work together to provide healing and protection to our bodies.

Disclaimer ~

We strive to do all we can to formulate safe recipes for you, but we assume no responsibility for any harm that may result from the use of our products. All of our recipes have been tried and tested by family and friends to produce positive results that I feel comfortable sharing with you and customers request over and over again.

However, it is YOUR responsibility to use them wisely and at your own discretion, discontinuing use AT ONCE should any negative reactions develop and seeking medical help if needed.

While we value your safety, you should know that allergic reaction, skin irritation or other negative responses are always a possibility, both with natural and commercial products. *

These recipes, while safe for use with children in most cases, should be kept out of reach of children and/or pets and always used with adult supervision.

Any medicinal references mentioned here are strictly for educational purposes based on my research through study, empirical evidence, personal use and herbal lore but not considered to be comprehensive or exhaustive. Any statements made here concerning various properties of herbs in relation to your health and well being, have not been evaluated by the FDA or any other governing body. And is NOT intended as medical advice of ANY kind.

Hopefully anything you read here will encourage you to do your own research and speak with your health care professional to determine the situation before attempting to treat yourself or anyone else by alternative health practices and remedies.

Herbs (including the concentrated essential oils created from them) can be helpful allies in creating and maintaining good health but they can also be powerful medications that should be treated with respect. Used improperly, they can cause adverse reactions or interfere with pharmaceuticals.

Herbally yours,

The Woodwife

Gen. 1:29 And God said,”Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth...”

*As a side note: sometimes water and/or soap applied to an area of irritation can increase discomfort. Often, a carrier oil or milk will ease the problem.
