Green Springs Home Spa Recipe

Fall is a great time to treat yourself to a herbal bath. Herbal baths ease the stresses of daily life, heals, refreshes and purifies the body. Gather up fragrant rose petals, fresh is best but dried is fine, hollyhock, calendula or marigold, hibiscus, basil, rue, lavender, St. John's wort, yarrow, lemon balm, and sage are all excellent choices. Collect your plants with intention and prayer.

Add the herbs to a large pot containing 1 to 2 gallons of hot water. Use 1 -2 quarts of fresh herbs, or 1-2 cups of dried herbs. Crush the herbs with both hands into the water as you offer your prayers or thanks to the plants. Once the water has cooled a bit place your feet in the water to soak.

Next draw a warm bath, light some incense and candles and spray the room with our AROMATIC INTENTIONS. Enter the tub and slowly pour the herbal bath water over yourself. Pour any remaining liquid over your head. Rest, meditate, and be with yourself in this healing way.

Finish by massaging your body using our creamy ORGANIC GOAT'S MILK SOAP, your skin will feel silky soft.

Purchased on Etsy

My huskies loved these sweet peanut butter piggies I purchased from organic dog www.organidog.etsy.com. The price is very reasonable, and best of all it's ORGANIC!

Our Best Friends Eat Organic

Our two huskies thrive on a organic raw meat diet. The larger one is twelve and the smaller one is a year old. Ever since two of our other huskies died at a fairly young ages of cancer we switched to making our own dog food.
Their diet consists mainly of organic raw chicken necks which they eat whole. Every so often I give them free range ground beef. I buy my chicken in a 40 lb box. When working with the raw meat I always wear disposable gloves. The chicken is put into zip lock bags and frozen until needed. The box costs $40.00 and is enough to make meals for one month. They get whatever organic vegis we are having, sometimes cooked, but mostly raw. I top of the meal with a sprinkle of Healthy Powder which consists of ground up egg shells (baked), nutritional yeast, kelp powder, ground flaxseed and a small amount of vitamin C. This recipe is in the book Natural Health for Dogs and Cats by Richard H. Pitcairn.
There are excellent recipes in the book. Dog Biscuits Deluxe is their favorite biscuit recipe. I would be happy to answer any questions and comments.
