* Further explanation on the above Basic Essentials:
Whole Body Cleanse Info: See attached list. Under cleanses, site www.universalsupplements.com the two products listed, colon cleanse detoxifier and whole body detox are an excellent full body cleanse to do. After the cleanse you should check your ph regularly, it is very important to be more alkaline than acid. Disease likes acid systems and does not like alkaline systems. (p.108,114,120,159 Natural Cures book)
Candida Cleanse Info: Go to www.universalsupplements.com and take pills according to attachment. Do this for 12 weeks. In addition, cutout all sugars and lower your carbohydrate and dairy intake from your diet for the full 12 weeks. You may eat all the salad, vegetables, meat, chicken, fish, nuts, soups and brown rice. After 4 weeks you may add fruits back into your diet and continue this way until the end of the treatment period. (p.113,158 Natural Cures book)
In order to do a thorough cleanse we strongly recommend that you do both of these.
pH Balancing Info: pH balancing is essential for good health. Disease loves to live in acidic systems and it cannot thrive in alkaline systems. It is easy to check your pH frequently by using pH test strips and is easy to balance by using the product, Buffer pH. Both of these products are available from www.vaxa.net/ojaihealth. (p.112,249 Natural Cures book)
Whole-food Multi Vitamin/Minerals Info: Over 90% of vitamins have synthetics (chemicals) in them and could be poisoning you – whole food vitamins, which are entirely derived from “real” food, do not have synthetics. (p.115,139 Natural Cures book) (Whole Food Multi II from INNATE Response 800-634-6342)
Digestive Enzymes Info: These enzymes will help your digestive system to break up the food you eat. By breaking up the food, your digestive system will be able to absorb more nutrients and your body will function better. You may experience more energy, easier weight loss, less constipation/diarrhea, no more acid reflux, etc. (p.124,160 Natural Cures book) (Caren Full Spectrum Enzymes from Emerson Ecologics 800-654-4432)

Practical, Magical and Aromatherapy Uses
courtesy from Eye Opener Productions
1) ACACIA: (Acacia senegal) Also known as gum arabic, gum senegal and gum acacia, produced by a tree that grows in North Africa. The species of acacia that produces gum arabic and gum acacia are so closely related that one can be used for the other.
2) AGRIMONY: (Agrimonia eupatoria) the dried herb has an apricot scent and is used in sachets and potpourri. Also called "Church Steeples".
3) ALLSPICE: (Pimemta dioica) Tropical evergreen with aromatic bark, leaves, and berries and bunches of greenish white flowers with a pervading scent. The berries, picked when mature but still green, are dried and ground to create the familiar spice.
4) ALMOND: (Prunus dulcis) The Sweet Almond tree has dark-colored bark, rose to white flowers in early spring, and dry-fleshed fruit with a pitted stone containing the nut. Almonds flavor many dishes. Almond oil is a fixed oil pressed from the Sweet Almond seeds and is used in cosmetics, massage oils, and medicines. Almonds must be chewed well and slowly. The whole raw almond had been described as a cancer preventative. Arabs crossing vast deserts live on only almonds, dates and water. One ounce of almonds can be soaked overnight in four ounces of water and blended in the morning to make a milk substitute. Peeled almonds can relieve heartburn. Ground almonds make a wonderful facial scrub. The oil relieves coughs and hoarseness. Almonds have very little starch and the butter and flour of the nuts is recommended for diabetics. Caution: Almonds contain hydro cyanic acid and can be toxic if eaten in large amounts (over 50 kernels for an adult, ten for a child)
5) ALOE: (Aloe Vera or Aloe ssp.) This plant has remarkable qualities. Two parts are used: the clear, gel-like central leaf pulp, and the yellow-green juice from the green part of the leaf. The gel is used in creams to soothe, heal, and moisturize the skin, and in shampoos for dry, itchy scalps. It cools the skin, protects it from airborne infections and fungi, and reduces scarring. It speeds cell regeneration, and so treats radiation burns coral wounds, and dermatitis. It can be scraped from split leaves for first aid treatment of small burns, cuts, chapped skin, sunburn, eczema and Poison Ivy rash. Compounds in the leaf juice are added to sunscreens from protection against UV rays and have shown anticancer activity.
6) ANGELICA: (Angelica archangelica) also called "Angel's Food". This three-year "biennial" has a taproot, divided leaves, and umbels of green-white flowers in its third year, and then it seeds and dies. Crushed leaves in car interiors reduce travel nausea. The oil is distilled from the root or seeds. Used in infusion or tincture, the root raises body temperature and promotes digestion, making it an ideal herb for older folks. It also helps bring down the menses. Use it for colds and flu, to induce a sweat and warm the body. The decoction of the dried root is said to remove the taste for alcohol. Simmer two teaspoons of the root in two cups of water for twenty minutes; take one cup twice a day. Caution: Do not exceed the indicated amounts, or the heart, blood pressure, and respiration can be affected. Use the root in salves for skin problems and rheumatic pains. The tincture can be used in doses of ten to thirty drops, four times a day.
7) ANISE: (Pimpinella anisum) Anise has sweetly, aromatic leaves, rounded at the base and narrower on the stem, with umbels of flowers followed by aromatic fruits. The flowers and leaves are used in fruit salads, the stem and roots in sweet soups. In cooking or infused as a tea, the seeds aid digestion, quell nausea, and ease flatulence and colic. Anise is used in cough mixtures, as it is expectorant and soothes spasms of irritant coughs and bronchial problems. It promotes estrogen production and is used to encourage breast milk, ease childbirth, and stimulate libido. Tiny amounts of the essential oil, produced from the seeds, are added to toothpaste, perfumes and mouthwashes, and are used to mask bitter medicines, but in large amounts Anise is highly toxic. The seeds are carminative (they move gas out of the intestinal tract). Used in tea or as lozenges, they soothe a hard cough. For the tea, steep one teaspoon of the seeds in one cup of boiled water for ten minutes. Take up to one and half cups a day. The seeds can also be tinctured using two ounces of seed per on-half quart of brandy and some lemon peel. Let the mixture sit for twenty days. The dose is one teaspoon as needed. The seeds are make into a liqueur called anisette, which is mixed with hot water as a remedy for bronchitis and asthma. Anise seed tea is sweetened with honey and given to children with lung colds. Epilepsy, colic, and smoker's cough are treated with anise. For colic, simmer one teaspoon of the seed in one-half pint of mild for ten minutes, strain, and take it hot. Oil of anise is a natural insecticide.
8) APPLE: (Malus spp.) A Druid sacred tree. The apple is a symbol of immortality, A branch of the apple which bore buds, flowers and fully ripened fruit (sometimes known as the Silver Bough), was a kind of magical charm which enabled its possessor to enter into the land of the Gods, the underworld, in Celtic Mythology. Apples clean the liver, cure constipation, and tone the gums. When baked they can be applied as a warm poultice to sore throats and skin inflammations. The cooked apple is especially laxative. The peeled raw apple helps with diarrhea. The cider corrects intestinal flora, reduces stomach acidity, corrects gas, and helps the kidneys, take three or four cups a day. Apple cider vinegar and water make a rinse to restore hair, scalp and skin, use equal parts of vinegar and water. Blondes should use white vinegar. Apple cider vinegar, water, and honey aid digestion when taken with meals, use two teaspoons of vinegar to a glass of water, add honey to taste. This was one of my great-grandmothers favorite cures for a sore throat.
9) ASAFETIDA: Ferula asafoetida Also called Stinking
Gum. The pungent gum is extracted from the living rootstock by notching the
plant at soil level. It was a popular Roman condiment. (If you can imagine
that!) Research suggests the plant is anticoagulant and lowers blood
pressure. Used to treat stomach ailments such as intestinal flu, gas, and
bloating. Add a pinch to beans as they cook. The herb is good in cases of
Candida albicans. Has been used for asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough
because of it's antispasmodic properties and is a good herb for croup and
colic in babies (newborns should get it through their mother's milk).
Another method is to give it to infants via the rectum - make an emulsion
with four parts asafetida to one hundred parts water and insert. It has been
used as a sedative for hysteria and convulsion. Please Note: This herb
tastes awful and is perhaps best taken in capsule form, one hundred
milligrams to one gram being the dose.
a) Parts Used: Resin of the root
b) Magical Use: Use for prophetic dreams, exorcism, and protection. Worn in
a bag around the neck, asafetida dispels diseases and evils of all kinds.
(It literally repels evil spirits!) Add a clove of garlic to enhance the
effect. Asafetida is a classic for exorcism and purification rites. Use it
to smudge a ritual space with smoke. Unfortunately, though asafetida is
powerful, it also has a horrible odor. Just the slightest whiff of the
fragrance has been known to cause vomiting. Use with Care!
10) ASH TREE: (Fraxinus americana or excelsior) A
Druid sacred tree. This spring-flowering deciduous tree has smooth gray bark
and showy, scented flowers, although the scent is unpleasant to some. The
bark of the ash can be used as a substitute for quinine in intermittent
fevers. It is reputed to clear obstructions from the spleen and liver.
Simmer two tablespoons of bark for twenty minutes in one cup water, take a
quarter-cup four times a day. The leaves are laxative and can be used as a
substitute for senns (tree leaves are always gathered before midsummer).
Steep two tablespoons of the leaf in one cup of water for twenty minutes,
take one quarter cup four times a day.
a) Parts Used: Bark and Leaf
b) Magical Use: Ash is the sacred world tree of the Teutons, known as
Yggdrasil. Ash wood makes a traditional Yule log. Druid wands were often
made of ash and carved with decorations. Ash wands are good for healing,
general and solar magic. Put fresh ash leaves under your pillow to stimulate
psychic dreams and prosperity. An herb of the sun, ash brings light into the
hearth at the winter solstice.
11) BASIL: (Oncimum basilicum) The warm, spicy taste
of this popular herb's leaf combines well with garlic, tomatoes, eggplant,
and Italian dishes, Basil flavors vinegar, pesto sauce, and oil. The
essential oil flavors condiments and liqueurs, and scents soaps and
perfumes. Inhaling the essential oil refreshes the mind and stimulates a
sense of smell dulled by viral infection. The infusion relieves gas and
stomach pains. Reputedly abortive, it can help expel the placenta. A warming
herb, it is used for colds and flu, constipation, vomiting, headaches, and
menstrual cramps. Steep two teaspoons per cup of water for twenty minutes,
take up to one and a half cups per day.
a) Parts Used: Leaf and stem
b) Magical Use: Burn basil to exorcise negativity from the home. To do a
really thorough cleansing and protection of yourself and your home, also
sprinkle a little basil in each corner of each room in the house and add to
your bathwater. Basil is used to mend lovers' quarrels and brings good luck
to a new home. The scent of basil causes sympathy between two people and so
is worn to avoid major clashes. Basil Use it in rites of exorcism and in the
ritual bath. Sprinkle to powder over the area of your heart to promote
fidelity. The scent brings happiness to the home and will protect you in
crowds.

may be slightly narcotic, and aid digestion when added to Bouquet garni,
marinades, pâté, soups and stews. The wood is used to give an aromatic tang
to smoked foods, and oil of Bay, from the fruit, flavors some liqueurs. A
leaf decoction added to bath water will relieve aching limbs, and diluted
leaf essential oil can treat sprains and rheumatic joints but may irritate
the skin. The leaf and berry are used in salves for itching, sprains,
bruises, skin irritations, and rheumatic pain. The fruit and leaf are
simmered until soft and made into a poultice with honey for chest colds. Bay
leaf and berry tea makes a bath additive that helps the bladder, bowel, and
female reproductive organs. Use two tablespoons per cup and steep for
forty-five minutes, add to bath water.
a) Parts Used: Leaf and berry

13) BENZOIN: (Styrax benzoin) Benzoin is a shrubby
tree with gray bark, simple leaves, and short racemes of small, fragrant,
bell-shaped white flowers. The scented yellowish resin is thought to be
created in response to injury, so it is tapped by making hatchet incisions
in the trunk. The resin, called benzoin or gum benjamin, is used as incense,
a fixative in perfumes, and is added to cosmetics to prevent fats turning
rancid. The tree resin is used externally, diluted with water, as an
antiseptic skin wash. Taken internally, it relieves intestinal gas and is
antiseptic to the urinary tract. Take ten to twenty drops in water or tea
four times a day. Put it in vaporizers or use it an inhalant for bronchitis,
and laryngitis. A simple method is to place it, along with a few drops of
the oils of peppermint and eucalyptus, in a bowl of boiling hot water. Put
your face as close to the bowl as you can and cover your head, and the bowl,
with a towel. Inhale the steam. Tincture of benzoin is often added to salves
as a preservative, (one pound of benzoin to about one and a half quarts of
salve.) Benzoin is used in Aromatherapy but may cause allergic reactions.
