Our people, over the ages have retained a vast store of herbal knowledge. Herbals are of great value to us as some are used for medicines for healing, while others are handy for dealing with enemies.
Hey! You want to calm down and gain self control? Go to an herb shop and buy equal amounts by weight of valerian root, skull cap, chamomile, sweet hops and a little anise. The anise is for taste. Buy them by weight, not volume as hops are bushy while valerian is compact.
Buy the herbs by weight, an ounce of each will be enough except for the anise. A quarter ounce or less ought to do it for that. Grind it all up, coarse for tea or fine for putting in a capsule. Feed in just enough anise to make the taste tolerable, as valerian root tastes like a ground up rubber boot. Oh, the cheapest place to buy herbs is in one of those co-ops where loose herbs are kept in big jars, and you weigh out what you want. The best place to acquire herbs is harvested from nature or out of your own herb garden.
The usual herbal dose is about as much as you can pick up on the tip of a table knife. A tea brewed of the above components, sweetened with honey is good before bed. However, I usually stuff some into #2 gel caps for portability. A couple of those will do the job nicely.
The Romans used to feed this "Warrior's Potion" to their soldiers to calm them down before battle. I've made it for years, and it works great. Take a dose, and In 20 minutes, you won't be nervous at all. Too, it is great before meditation or contemplation. It's not addictive and all natural, but it works! That's the important part.
The above combination I gave you is as old as time, and works great to soothe the nerves. It tends to suppress the emotions nicely, and that is where nervousness and fear has its birth. That potion is also one of the keys to self control.
Speaking of the Romans, they used to throw a handful of silver coins into their water barrels to prevent getting sick from drinking bad water. They did it to appease the goddess of water. Today we know that Silver Halides kill germs like crazy! That's good to know! That oxidation from silver has it's uses!
Ha, hah, now herbs are coming into their own replacing "Patent Medicines." The main ingredient in those male stimulant drugs is African, Yohimbe bark. On TV, they sell that stuff for anywhere from $39.95 to $150.00 a thirty day supply.
Hell, you can buy yohimbe bark, ginsing root, saw palmetto berry, sarsaparilla root and zinc plus a mix of stimulant vitamins for $2.00 under generic label at Family Dollar. Failing that, you can mix your own. The above ingredients and a good one-a-day energy vitamin, will fix you up. The above mix is also great for diabetics as it helps restore blood flow to the feet too. What a happy thing.
Did you know that plain old garlic will lower high blood pressure. Add this to the above Warriors Potion, and you'll see a definite improvement.
Two tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar a day will help to make you healthy and boost your immune system. Vinegar kills some three hundred known germs/bugs, and is a failsafe answer on medical exams for what to do when you can't get antibiotics. Mix it with raw honey, and reap the benefits of both. Bacteria can't grow in raw honey. You can even put it on cuts, abrasions and burns. Both the Romans and the Egyptians made widespread use of this arcane knowledge- so should you!
Do you have problems with gall or kidney stones? Your urologist won't tell you, but if you check your urine pH and find it a 7 or 8, there is your answer. Take the vinegar and lower your pH output to about 5.6, and drink lots of reverse osmosis or distilled water, and soon, your stone problem will be no more. Heh, heh, I drink a gallon a day. I'd rather pay the water shop a quarter a day than pay the doctor bills and suffer the pain. Oh, you can check your urine pH with litmus strips. I bough a roll at a health food store for less than ten bucks.
Yeah, and digitalis comes from the foxglove plant. Natural aspirin is decocted out of willow bark. The female hormone, "Progesterone" comes from yams. A person would do well to own a good herbal book. They can be bought in paper back for under ten bucks and could save a person hundreds.
Try to buy an herbal book that covers the herbs in your local area, as then you may be able to harvest some for free. You can also grow your favorites in your own herb garden. Some of the best black magicians in history maintained their own herb gardens.
Heh, heh, in the old days, most "black magic" was helped along by extracts of certain plants like hemlock, deadly night shade, tomato greens, carrot greens, caster beans, apple cores, peach pits, oleander leaves and simple stuff like that. Why do you think the Scrolls have a section devoted to making teas, decoctions, tinctures and other elixirs from plants?
True, on the surface, that apothecary section is for making medicines, but it is also the directions for making "black magic". Boil and bubble, double trouble! Heh, heh- funny, most people are too dense to realize it. There is more in the Scrolls than meets the eye! To one who knows, the Scrolls comprise one Hell of a black book! Like I always say, "Read between the lines." There are lots of levels of wisdom and knowledge hidden in the Scrolls. To fully understand the levels of the Scrolls is to become "One who knows."
