Natural remedies

[Ice.Maiden]

For gout, fybromyalgia, arthritis, rheumatic conditions and muscular pains, try one of these:

Nettles: 2-3 dried leaves infused in a litre of water. Drink 3 cups a day before meals.

Limes: Drink 2 cups of water containing freshly-squeezed lime a day.

Strawberries: Infuse the roots and leaves of a strawberry plant, and drink 2 cups a day.

that's... 7 cups.... a day!

but yes, i'll go for a reduced quantity.

thanks!

:love:

[pilvikki]

hey hang on! roots and leaves?

:shock:

oh well, if I must... :shrug:

[Ice.Maiden]

It's not all of them hun - you can take your pick of the remedies - but yes, it's the roots and leaves of the strawberry plant that're supposed to work. Suppose you have to drink the concoctions daily for several weeks before you start to see any benefit, but it's harmless and might be worth a go.

[pilvikki]

bottoms up!

[Ice.Maiden]

I love to read about all these different natural "remedies", but then usually forget all about them the next day!

[pilvikki]

which means we need gingo!

:lmao4:

[Ice.Maiden]

LOL - possibly. I'll remember about things later, but always seem too busy to stick with one thing in particular. Mind you, I do have some things regularly - Manuka honey, watercress, turmeric, Acai berries, cinnamon, beetroot ....

[pilvikki]

so who needs dinner...

:shrug:

You two would have been burnt at the stake back in the day. :grin:

However,I will join your coven because I use natural remedies too.

I've always been partial to capes.... :grin:

[Rusty]

Cool.So where do we order those outfits from then? I want the one on the left.

[pilvikki]

i'm pretty sure ebay would be helpful, i'd take the one in the middle, unless icy is partial to that.

:grin:

here we go:

pretty reasonable, too.

:clap2:

[Ice.Maiden]

I've already got one Rusty ..... :shifty:

[pilvikki]

what colour is it, so we can coordinate? :dance:

[Ice.Maiden]

Seriously - a black velvet one. I also had a crimson one which graduated into dark purple at the bottom, but someone bought it off me.

[pilvikki]

awesome!

for some reason I've just realized I have to have one...

go figure. :think:

[Ice.Maiden]

Well I somehow missed opening your link until just now. Lovely cloaks, and even better because of the coloured linings.

I had my first one when I was about 15. Someone made it for me, but I don't know what happened to it. Then I wanted one for a particular do I was going to, but all I could get was a long black opera coat (a cloak, but without the hood). I love them. They're warm, and sort of look mysterious!

[pilvikki]

I had one years ago, but it was just one of those "furry" ones...

[Ice.Maiden]

Furry? Never seen one hun.

All we seem to get over here's either velvet, thick cotton-type material or a sort of wool blend such as winter coats might be made out of.

Doesn't matter to me which it is. I like the style.
