listeningowl @ 09:29 am: my owch sing
I woke up this morning with the usual contingent of summer ailments, and it started to rhyme. I guess I got a visit from spirit this morning in the form of an old country singer - Johnny Cash. Sort of a white man's blues...

I'm hurt everywhere, man
I'm hurt everywhere, man
Messed up down there, man
I can't breathe the air, man
Of pain I've had my share, man
I'm hurt everywhere

I've got:
broke toes,
runnin nose
god didn't give me no pee hose.
poison ivy, broken feet, sore vagina, prickly heat.
arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis,
mosquito bites, termites, electrolytes,
melanoma, carcinoma, hematoma,
myopic, misanthropic, gender dysphori - opic.
Slipped a disk, but I'm Not allergic to shellfish!

I've got everything, man
I've got everything, man
Every disease that's rare, man
I cant breathe the air, man
Of pain I've had my share, man
I'm hurt everywhere

listeningowl @ 10:31 am: I'm Back
Hi everybody, well the cook book is just about finished and I will be releasing that soon. I want to get back into making more posts over here like I used to. I have plans for a new website and a myspace account for my books. I want to thank everyone who bought the book recently. It is a good resource for healing info that isn't anyplace else in Craft literature. Buy it for yourself and buy one for your friends and family too. In these times of uncertainty things like herbs and home remedies could be what saves your life.

Recently I was exposed to lots of germs from people with colds at the movie theater. 2 days later sure enough I felt the twinges of a cold. I took 2 packets of Emergen-C vitamins in bottled water, I drank lots of water and fresh OJ . Then I had chicken soup, and garlic bread and wrapped myself up in a couple blankets. It was a hot day too, and took a nap. All that heat sweated out the cold. It's one of my quick fixes for colds and it really works.

As always feel free to post health and healing questions here. That's what this forum is for. The Witch Doctor is always in! Blessed Be, be well!

listeningowl @ 10:57 pm: Hello Again
Hi there Witches Heal members! I hope everyone is well. Please post your health and healing questions here for me to answer.
I hope that everyone here will buy my book, so that we can discuss it, other wise this forum is pretty pointless... and so that I can afford things like food and clothes. Please buy my book my cats need to be spayed.
Have a great day!

angeladeluna @ 09:30 pm: Do you have any remedies for toothaches?

listeningowl @ 11:36 pm: healing soup
healing soup

large can of chicken broth
2 12 oz poland springs water
fresh basil
fresh oregano
thyme
rosemary
a whole bunch of garlic
2 onions
a sheet of Nori cut into tiny squares
3 large green onions
celery salt
2 kinds of barley
chicken meat optional

This is good for cleansing, supporting the immune system and fighting colds.

listeningowl @ 01:04 pm: herbs for inflamations
Repetitive stress injuries such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome can be relieved by taking some anti inflammatory teas. White willow bark, ginger root (and several others) taken a few times a day will help.

also topical applications of essential oils directly on the ouchy spots can help. my fav sav is Tiger Balm. I've been using it for years. the new Tiger balm patches are fantastic and will relive a strained neck or back in a day or so.

I have also taken the essential oils recipe from Tiger Balm and made that up too. in a base of castor bean oil - palma christie - add a few drops of oil of camphor, clove menthol and eucalyptus. don't get this stuff in the eyes or genitals tho!

some people find capsicum helpful - that's hot peppers savs made from it can be found online or at many chiropractic offices.

Hey got a health issue? know someone who does? this is the place to post your Q's for natural remedies. the Witch Doctor is always in!

Please join our community for more info about staying healthy. There aren't many friends locked posts but there are a few. Especially the most recent one about summer illnesses, prickly heat and so on.

I have been working hard on the second book. It is called Witch Doctor's Kitchen Cookbook. It is about food, and sacred cooking space. Last night I did some cover design concepts until I cam up with one that I liked. I want to have large macro photos on the covers of all three books. This one is of purple food! blueberries, plums and grapes. with a big pentacle of course. The book should be out pretty soon.

listeningowl @ 11:52 am: Book Signing
I will be doing a book signing at Baker Books in North Dartmouth Ma. this Thursday 8/4 at 7 PM here are the details. They have a cute coffee shop, so if you have my book and want it signed, or if you need one, come in and I'll see you there!
