Better than spa quality, these soaps are moisturizing, long lasting and lather like a moondog!Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers used herbs and wild plants in everyday life. Their food was their medicine. When my Dad was young, his grandmother would send him out to gather dandelions in the spring to be cooked with onions, garlic and bacon grease. We know that dandelions are a primo liver healer and immune booster and just the thing to "spring clean" a body after heavy foods eaten in the winter. My great-grandma used the plants available each season to keep her family healthy. Sage, oregano, parsley, thyme, chives, garlic, rosemary are used in cooking to nourish and heal us. Many of the culinary herbs commonly used today are medicinal - anti-fungal, anti-viral and antibacterial, although many have forgotten or have not been taught. Older generations knew what plants healed and nourished. My work is to pass on what was taught to me in faith that the medicine will be shared with future generations."
