1/2 lb. Vegetable Shortening (in the "old days" lard was used) (if the fresh herbs cannot be found, substitution with dried herbs is OK)

Mixing Directions:

Mix all herbs together. Melt the Vegetable Shortening in a pot on low flame, adding a little at a time to speed the melting process. When all the Shortening has been melted, turn off the fire, and slowly stir in the mixed herbs. When all is mixed well, pour the liquid salve into a jar. DO NOT USE PLASTIC!!! USE GLASS ONLY!!! (plastic will draw out the essence of the herbs...) Cap the jar and refrigerate until the shortening has become a solid again, and is cold. Will keep for about a week.

Directions of Use:

Gather a small amount onto hand and massage onto skin of afflicted joint. Let set for at least one hour. Repeat as necessary.

HANGOVER FIX

These are the best for repairing the damage done by drinking a little too much and spending hours in a

smoke-filled room

Step One: Headache

- Take 1-2 feverfew pills (they can be found in any herb or health food store) depending on your drug tolerance. If

you want, start out with 1 pill and if you still have a headache one hour later take another.

Step 2: Helps liver and upset stomach

- Fill a tea ball with dried dandelion leaves and set aside

- Bring 2 cups of water to boil

- Turn off heat (if using an electric stove be sure to take the water off the burner)

- Add tea ball

- Add 1 peppermint tea bag

- Let steep for 3-5 minutes

- Drink both cups

Note: If your throat is sore you may add honey and lemon

Step 3: Helps the body repair damage from cigarette smoke

- Bring one cup of water to boil

- Turn off heat

- Add one bag of Ceylon green tea

Green tea is known to be a mild stimulant as well as a powerful anti-oxidant

Alternate steps 2 and 3 through out the day. Be sure to keep food intake to a minimum and keep it restricted to

fresh fruit until dinner time. This will allow your body to quickly heal itself. You will begin to feel better from the

first cup of tea
