A word of wisdom from our very own, Herbal Viv

A word of wisdom from our very own, Herbal Viv Recording from Portobello Radio Friday’s session at The Muse - transcribed verbatim.

Viv - Going right back to last week, Vervain. It can be used by people recovering from ME An important use for Vervain in iuse for ME, it strengthens the nervous system and eliminates some of the viral infection. I need to mention that for two main important uses and why you should have it in your medicine chest and it grow from seed, so just get it in your garden. This week, is a really common herb that’s under Venus and it’s in bloom now. I’d love you take your kids down to little wormwood scrubs and pick elderflower. Elderflower has the votive of rotting rat flesh, is what it is, that’s how its described. its narcotic, it has a very narcotic effect, which people shouldn’t be sleeping under elder trees. It has a medicinal effect on the body – moist. People who have really… ah, difficult chest infections that actually are sticky. You’vegot to take a hot elderflower tea three times a day for at least a week – children as well. Um, hard body parts, you know, where the blood isn’t flowing and its stuck. You drink elderflower tea, because it promotes the perspiration you need and aerates the skin.

And the final real use of elderflower, is its emotions use. And, for people who had hard areas in their emotion life, can never be moved or are stubborn, you… Elderflower tea has the ability to soften these emotional points in these people. You must keep them on the tea for at least three months. Okay, and I think that’s going to be it. And I want you to go out… I pick mine in west Dulwich where its clean, pretty clean. Put them on a net you only need a bucket full. I don’t think we like all the sugar in the cordials, you can make it with less glycerine.
