Fig Leaf Tea Healing Properties

Busy in my kitchen, I opened my large jar of dried fig leaves to make me some fig leaf tea. Those of you that have followed my youtube channel have most likely seen old videos of my 15 foot tall and 15 foot wide old fig tree. Today I thought I would gather up some healing facts when it comes to drinking fig tea. 

Fig leaves (Ficus carica) are packed with bioactive compounds that offer a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Here’s what modern herbalists and ancient healers agree on:

1. Blood Sugar Regulation

• Fig leaf tea is traditionally used to support Type 2 diabetes and insulin sensitivity.

• Flavonoids like quercetin and apigenin mimic insulin and help regulate glucose uptake.

2. Cardiovascular Support

• Helps lower LDL cholesterol, reduce triglycerides, and improve blood pressure thanks to potassium and magnesium.

• Antioxidants protect blood vessels from inflammation and oxidative stress.

3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

• Contains polyphenols that act like natural COX inhibitors (similar to NSAIDs but gentler).

• Used traditionally for menstrual cramps, headaches, and joint pain.

4. Digestive & Detox Support

• Soothes IBS, gastritis, and gut inflammation.

• Acts as a gentle laxative and liver tonic, aiding detoxification.

5. Respiratory Relief

• Used in folk medicine to treat asthma, bronchitis, and coughs.

• Often brewed with dried figs for added soothing effects.

6. Skin & Mood Benefits

• Antioxidants promote skin healing and reduce oxidative stress.

• Essential oils like linalool offer anti-anxiety and antibacterial effects.

How to Brew Fig Leaf Tea

Simple Recipe:

• 3–4 fresh or dried fig leaves (use the mature leaves)

• 2 cups water

• Simmer for 5–10 minutes

• Strain and sip warm, optionally sweetened with honey

"Steeped in ancient shade, fig leaves whisper healing into every cup."

Fennel is one of the few plants that has it all

Fennel is one of the few plants that has it all — it’s a vegetable, herb and spice. That tang of licorice when you bite into a fennel seed comes from the volatile oil anethole, the same compound that gives anise its licorice-like flavor.

Fennel is a perennial, pleasant-smelling herb with yellow flowers. It is native to the Mediterranean but is now found throughout the world. Dried fennel seeds are often used in cooking as an anise-flavored spice. But don’t confuse fennel with anise; though they look and taste similar, they are not the same. Fennel’s dried ripe seeds and oil are used to make medicine. Fennel is known by many names, and I will list them at the bottom of the post.

Benefits of Fennel

• Digestive problems including indigestion, heartburn, intestinal gas, stomach upset, bloating, loss of appetite, and colic in infants. Fennel contains plenty of fiber to help you go when things back up and you can’t move your bowels. Plus the veggie contains amino acids that can help balance your system to help you stop the go when you can’t stay out of the bathroom. And the oils in fennel help us digest food faster and more efficiently. Which means fennel is the perfect choice to slash gas, bloating and indigestion.
• for upper respiratory tract infections, coughs, bronchitis, Airway swelling.
• Some women use fennel for increasing the flow of breast milk, promoting menstruation, easing the birthing process, and increasing sex drive.
• Calms Menstrual Cramps: Fennel seeds are teeming with anethole and dozens of other phytochemicals, including phytoestrogens, estrogen-like compounds found in plants. These can help offset menstrual cramps that affect more than 50 percent of menstruating women.
• Lowers Blood Pressure: Fennel is brimming with potassium and nitrates. Both nutrients work together to help keep your blood pressure in check. Potassium has many important jobs in your body such as supporting your muscles and helping keep your heartbeat regular. But one of the essential mineral’s most important tasks is to help keep your blood vessels dilated so blood can flow freely. Plus your body converts nitrates into nitric oxide, which is a natural vasodilator as well.
• Breast Cancer: anethole, the organic substance known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, has proven in a study to stop breast cancer cells from growing. Not only that. It also prevents these cells from surviving. In fact, the anethole can cause the breast cancer cells to kill themselves altogether in some cases. This means that at the very least it can slow the growth and spread of breast cancer.
• Colon Cancer: fennel is an excellent source of fiber. Experts say fiber may be able to lower our risk for some forms of cancer. Folks who live in countries that eat a high-fiber diet have a significantly lower risk of colon cancer.
• Cancer prevention: fennel contains a healthy amount of folate, which plays an important role in DNA synthesis and repair. That means fennel could help prevent cancer cells from forming in the first place and Fennel is also a good source of selenium. Selenium is a natural antioxidant, which experts say fights cancer-linked oxidation and supports a healthy immune system. Selenium plays a key role in the body’s natural detoxifications system. It works with your liver to help purge compounds linked to higher rates of cancer. And the mineral slows tumor growth and reduces chronic inflammation.
• Mild spasms of the stomach and intestines.
• Intestinal gas (flatulence).
• Detox: Fennel is a mildly diuretic, which may help with the removal of toxic substances from the body.
• Bone Health: Fennel is a good source of bone-supporting calcium. In fact, a single bulb delivers about 10 percent of your daily calcium needs. Fennel also contains phosphate and manganese to create bone structure, and vitamin K to help prevent fractures.
• Brain Health: Potassium is a natural electrolyte. That means it supports healthy electrical activity throughout your entire body. This includes in your brain, the hub of your electrical system. Plus potassium’s blood-vessel dilating action can boost your brain function too. The mineral increases blood flow to your oxygen hungry brain. And a well-oxygenated brain simply performs better. Better blood flow will also reduce your risk of a blood clot heading to your brain and causing a devastating stroke.
• for cholera, backache, bedwetting, and visual problems.

Other Names: 

Anethum Foeniculum, Anethum piperitum, Bari-Sanuf, Bitter Fennel, Carosella, Common Fennel, Fennel Essential Oil, Fennel Oil, Fennel Seed, Fenouil, Fenouil Amer, Fenouil Bulbeux, Fenouil Commun, Fenouil de Florence, Fenouil des Vignes, Fenouil Doux, Fenouil Sauvage, Finnochio, Florence Fennel, Foeniculi Antheroleum, Foeniculum Capillaceum, Foeniculum Officinale, Foeniculum piperitum, Foeniculum Vulgare, Garden Fennel, Graine de Fenouil, Hinojo, Huile Essentielle de Fenouil, Huile de Fenouil, Large Fennel, Phytoestrogen, Phyto-œstrogène, Sanuf, Shatapuspha, Sweet Fennel, Wild Fennel, Xiao Hui Xiang

My Closing Thoughts~

You all know how much I love herbs and work with herbs daily so its only natural that I pass on the information about the benefits of Fennel. Now having said that with every benefit come precautions so please search the internet for precautions. One that is talked about is...

• Fennel might be UNSAFE when used long-term. It contains estragole, a chemical that might increase the risk of getting liver cancer. Test were done with mice that suggested this.

I feel greens is medicine to the body and its only common sense that you take precautions to not overdose on prescribed medicine so I take precautions not to over dose on herbs too.

The Benefits and uses of Dandelion

 I Worked with Dandelion today

I spent the whole day today doing yard work. I had grass to cut I had weed eating to do and weeds to pull. I didn't think I would ever get it all finished but I did. Ha! Before I started my work though I went around the yard and collected up all the dandelion blooms I could find. I couldn't stand the thought of my lawn mower munching them up when I knew how beneficial they are to our health. 

So today I wanted you to see the long list of benefits and uses of Dandelion. It really is important to keep these things in the back of your mind. You never know when it would be useful. Dandelion grows wild in the yard just like a weed. And what most people don't realize is Dandelions are thought to have evolved about 30 million years ago. The benefits of dandelion have been known for a long long time.

List of Benefits and uses of Dandelion 

Dandelion root and leaf is a classic bitter liver tonic herb. Along with Oregon grape root bark, gentian root, and wormwood leaves, dandelion stimulates digestion, stimulates the liver to produce more bile. This action cleanses the liver and gall bladder.

• The same pesky weed known for ruining lawns has a long history of being used as a healing herb in cultures around the globe. One cup of raw dandelion greens provides 535 percent of the RDA of vitamin K and 112 percent of the RDA for vitamin A. Dandelion greens are also a good source of vitamin C, calcium, iron, fiber, and potassium. Among all foods, it’s one of the richest sources of vitamin A; among all green vegetables, it’s one of the best sources of beta-carotene.
• to treat hepatitis, kidney, and liver disorders such as kidney stones, jaundice, and cirrhosis. It’s routinely prescribed as a natural treatment for hepatitis C, anemia, and liver detoxification (poor liver function has been linked to numerous conditions, from indigestion and hepatitis to irritability and depression). As a natural diuretic, dandelion supports the entire digestive system and increases urine output, helping flush toxins and excess salt from the kidneys. The naturally occurring potassium in dandelions helps prevent the loss of potassium that can occur with pharmaceutical diuretics.
• as a bitter tonic in atonic dyspepsia, and as a mild laxative in habitual constipation. When the stomach is irritated and where active treatment would be injurious, the decoction or extract of Dandelion administered three or four times a day, will often prove a valuable remedy. It has a good effect in increasing the appetite and promoting digestion.
• combined with other active remedies has been used in cases of dropsy and for induration of the liver, and also on the Continent for phthisis and some cutaneous diseases. A decoction of 2 OZ. of the herb or root in 1 quart of water, boiled down to a pint, is taken in doses of one wineglassful every three hours for scurvy, scrofula, eczema and all eruptions on the surface of the body.
• For gallbladder Inflammation (Cholecystitis): Mix 125 ml of dandelion juice and 125 ml of watercress juice. Take twice daily along with a vegetarian diet.
• Diabetes: Dandelion juice can help diabetic patients by stimulating the production of insulin from the pancreas, keeping the blood sugar level low.
• They are excellent liver and kidney tonics that help reduce the body’s toxic burden.
• promotes digestive health by stimulating bile production, resulting in a gentle laxative effect. Inulin, a naturally occurring soluble fiber in dandelion, further aids digestion by feeding the healthy probiotic bacteria in the intestines; it also increases calcium absorption and has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, therefore being useful in treating diabetes. Both the dandelion leaves and root are used to treat heartburn and indigestion. The pectin in dandelion relieves constipation and, in combination with vitamin C, reduces cholesterol. Dandelion is excellent for reducing edema, bloating, and water retention; it can also help reduce high blood pressure. On top of all that, dandelion contains multiple antidiarrheal and antibacterial properties.
• In Chinese medicine, dandelion is used in combination with other herbs to treat hepatitis and upper respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. The sap from the stem and root is a topical remedy for warts. Imagine — all this from a lowly weed!
• Leukemia: dandelion root extract is unique, and is one of the only things found to help with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
• Cancer: Dandelion root extract target only the cancer cells, which is not true with chemotherapy pharmaceuticals that kill everything in their paths. In a 2008 study on breast and prostate cancer cells, researchers found that dandelion leaf extract slowed the growth of breast cancer cells and stopped the spread of prostate cancer cells. It can be a non-toxic therapy for leukemia, breast cancer, prostate cancer and even drug-resistant forms of cancer.
• Breast Cancer: Dandelion leaf tea was shown to decrease breast cancer cells. Researchers tested dandelion leaf tea on prostate cancer cells and found similar results.
• Prostate Cancer: The findings on prostate cancer were corroborated by a report published in 2011 by the International Journal of Oncology, which shows that a dietary supplement containing dandelion as one ingredient suppresses the growth of prostate cancer cells.
• Pancreatic Cancer: Dandelion root extract was found to kill aggressive, treatment-resistant human pancreatic cancer cells without harming non-cancerous cells.
• Melanoma: Dandelion root extract was clinically proven in 2011 to specifically induce apoptosis in chemo-resistant melanoma (a type of skin cancer)—without toxicity to healthy cells.
• helps increase the amount of urine the body produces, which is believed to help dilute the components that contribute to the formation of Kidney Stones (Renal Calculi)
• Source of Beta-Cryptoxanthin
• Detox: Not only will it help cleanse the bowel and causes diuresis but it also has a detoxifying effect on the functions of the liver and the gall bladder. There have been several studies conducted on this particular plant and it showed that it help remove the toxins.
• Source of Inulin prebiotic.

Health Benefits and uses of Chives

 My Chive blooms did really good this year ~

They produced the prettiest purple blooms I've ever seen them produce and I think they are so pretty in the herb garden. I really love the mild onion like flavor, and I think I use it the most in salads, in bread dough, soups and in cream cheese cracker spreads & on my potato dishes and in all my egg dishes for sure. 

Not only do I love to cook with it but I really like it in the garden because it repels insects that might damage my vegetable plants. Ya know, it's funny how the chive plant repels insects but the beautiful purple blooms attract bees. lol! I love having plants the bees love.

Now the reason I wanted to post about chives today was because I want everyone to know about their benefits to human health. "The medicinal properties of chives are similar to those of Garlic, but weaker; the faint effects in comparison with garlic are probably the main reason for their limited use as a medicinal herb."

Health Benefits and uses of Chives

• Detoxify the Body: Chives have mild diuretic properties, and combined with the other free-radical scavenging and antibacterial qualities, chives are a wonderful way to detoxify the body. By stimulating urination, chives can help the body get ride of excess toxins, salts, water, and even fat, keeping the organ systems running smoothly and clearing out any dangerous substances that could do us harm.
• Cancer Prevention: One of the most exciting areas of research for all members of the Allium genus is the role of quercetin in preventing certain types of cancers. Although research is still ongoing, early results show that quercetin can effectively prevent a wide range of cancers, including breast, prostate, colon, lungs, and ovaries. The antioxidant activities of vitamin C and vitamin K contribute to this prevention as well, helping to reduce levels of free radicals in the body that can hasten the spread or appearance of cancerous cells. Zeaxanthin and lutein, two other antioxidant compounds found in chives, have been linked to lower chances of oral cancers.
• Vision Health: The carotenes found in chives, namely lutein and zeaxanthin, are directly responsible for reducing oxidative stress in the ocular system and delaying the appearance of cataracts in the eye. They also help to slow or prevent macular degeneration, keeping your eyes healthy well into your old age.
• Immune System: The high levels of vitamin C found in chives help to boost the efficacy of the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells and stimulating the production of collagen, which is an essential component in the creation of new blood vessels, cells, tissues, and muscles.
• Bone Health: There is a wide range of vitamins and minerals found in chives, but one of the most important is certainly vitamin K, an essential nutrient that isn’t widely found in many common foods. Vitamin K is very important in the maintenance of bone mineral density and bone integrity. As we age, our bone mineral density begins to drop, leading to conditions like osteoporosis and exacerbating inflammatory conditions like arthritis. High levels of vitamin K, like those found in chives, can help to produce osteocalcin, which is a key part of maintaining mineral density in the bones.
• Digestive Issues: The allyl sulfides and other unique organic compounds found in chives deliver similar benefits to the body as garlic, and as such, can effectively ease digestive discomfort. Furthermore, chives have natural antibacterial qualities that can eliminate a wide range of bacteria, particularly those in the salmonella family, which can wreak havoc on your gastrointestinal system. More specifically, chives can increase the nutrient uptake efficiency of your gut, ensuring that you get as many of the nutrients from your food as possible.
• Heart Health: One of the most important organic compounds found in chives is allicin, which has recently been linked to reduced levels of “bad” cholesterol in the body and improved heart health. Allicin is also connected to lowering blood pressure; when combined with the vasodilatory effects of the potassium found in chives, this unassuming herb can have a major impact on reducing cardiovascular strain. Furthermore, another organic compound found in chives, quercetin, has been directly connected to lowering cholesterol levels and plaque in the arteries, effectively preventing atherosclerosis and lowering your risk for stroke and heart attacks. 
• Cardiovascular Strain: Allicin is also connected to lowering blood pressure; when combined with the vasodilatory effects of the potassium found in chives, this unassuming herb can have a major impact on reducing cardiovascular strain.

  

Closing Thoughts ~

😁Just so you know guys, I work with herbs a lot so I will be sharing more posts about herbs in the future. If that interests you then keep an eye out. I will also be placing this post in the "Herb" section and the new "Herbal Healing" section if you ever want to find it again. Also I have a section called "Healing Foods" that has some great information in it too. Check it out before you go! Thanks for visiting everyone. Now go buy you a chive plant and grow it. They grow great in flower pots if you don't have a spot to plant in the ground.

I hope this was helpful - "Live everyday like a holiday." Pam

I'm working with the herb Lemon Balm today

 

The Weekend is here, and I have a lot of planned projects for my lemon balm.

I have a 3-foot tall and 3-foot-wide lemon balm plant in my herb garden that I want to use for a few special projects this weekend. First of all, I'm going to dehydrate some cutting. It will take about 24 hours to dehydrated on the herb setting. Then I will jar up (🛒canning jars) and save for a rainy-day tea. The fresh leaves work the best for tea that's for sure but dried will be ok too. If you mix both lemon balm and mint leaves together it tastes very nice. Ya know... lemon balm is in the mint family anyway but doesn't taste anything like mint.

Now to me... if you drink the dried leaves it tastes more earthy and if you use the fresh green leaves of the lemon balm it tastes more lemonbalmmy. But just remember... this is medicinal so don't go crazy on drinking the fresh leaves. It's like a mild sedative. (🛒lemon balm tea)

Herbal Crafts

I will also crush up some of the dried leaves in fine powder for my homemade herbal supplements. I buy the blank capsules and fill them myself. (🛒blank capsules) I just really love the summer season when I can have so much fun with all my herbal health crafts. Happy Holidays! ► You may also want to watch: My other "Gardening Videos." https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVnpA8j_rjfkD6zYvYPcnkDizrEcrsZc

................................................................★☆★..........................................................

😀In Closing

I just wanted to say... if your a person that doesn't like the sharp taste of real lemon then try the lemon balm plant in your tea instead. It doesn't have that sour thing going on but it does have the slight lemon flavor going on. lol! You may find it's just what your looking for.

Make a bouquet of lemon balm and put on the kitchen table. Flies don't seem to like it so they stay out of the kitchen.

Rub the leaves on your skin as an insect repellent. It really works and I like the smell.

Let's plant some ginger root

 Let's Plant some Ginger Root in a flower pot

Ok everyone, it's time to talk about the video. I went to the grocery store and bought a bundle of ginger root. I looked through the pieces and found a couple that we're sprouting and I was delighted that I had some pieces that were just begging to be planted. ~Smile

It's really easy to plant the ginger sections. All you do is bury about 2 inches deep in potting soil, dampen the soil and place in a sunny location in your house. Before you know it.... you will have your very own ginger root growing in the pot. I think the large slender green leaves are pretty too.

Would you like to know some Health Benefits of Ginger?

It's long been known as a folk medicine. It fights germs!!! It's been used for years as a anti-inflammitory. It reduces swelling. And they say it's helpful with treating rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It halts the growth of bacteria they say. Calms Nausea ~ Soothes sore muscles ~ some studies say it slows down cancer growth ~ lowers blood sugar ~ helps battle bad cholesterol ~

Magic Herb ? ~

Yep that's what they say.  It's a magical herb too and used in spell casting. Uses: courage / creation / healing / love / success / money / sex / increases magical workings

Does it have Emotional Aspects?

Well yes indeed they say it does. In fact they say ginger releases victim mentality,  humiliation, blame and powerlessness. Wow! So that means it instills empowerment, accountability and fortitude. Hummm~ my my my

Lemongrass stir sticks for tea time

 Today I'm sharing how I make lemongrass stir sticks for my tea.

Lemongrass is very easy to grow in the garden and the smell is such a delight. It has a true lemon scent when you rub the grass, cut the grass or even just brush up against it when walking in the garden. It is a grass and for those that's not familiar with it... the blades of the grass has a gripping quality and it's easy to cut your fingers on it. In fact the grass is like little blades in your hand so you have to be aware of what your doing. ~wink

Better Health / Religion

There's several species of lemongrass but the one I have in my garden is the one I've always known that was used for healthy digestion and to boost immunity when added as hot tea. It also has antioxidant properties they say. Plus I cook with it. I use it in soups, beef dishes, fish dishes and seafood dishes.  And... even thought I don't make curries very often, it is popular in curries too.

There are religions and cultures that use some varieties to conjur, to protect against evil, spiritually clean a house, and to bring good luck in love as they say it. They use the fresh grass or lemongrass oil. I'm sure you've all heard of lemongrass oil. 

I loveeeee lemongrass oil used in a diffuser. 

In fact it's diffusing in my kitchen as we speak. lol!  Now if you read some essential oil bottles it will tell you it overpowers the feelings of nervousness, gives you a positive outlook, eliminates mental fatigue and heightens your awareness. Lemongrass can be applied topically, used aromatically or taken internally. That's why I love this simple herb. Yes I'm going to call it an herb. It's an herb to me an not just a grass.

Lemongrass Stir Sticks

I can actually say I've never heard of anyone else but me making lemongrass stir sticks and I can't imagine why. lol~. I've always made them and put them in my hot tea when fresh lemongrass was in season. I did a google search about it and couldn't find anyone doing it except in cooking so I wanted to spark everyone creative tea thinking and remind everyone that you can make lemongrass stir sticks for something fun and lemon tasting for your tea. 

Emotional Aspects of Lemongrass?

Now when I think about tea, I think of quiet times, comfort, my emotional mood etc. Now that I think about it, I always reach for hot tea when I'm feeling sad because I really do see it as a comfort to me. They say that Lemongrass has "Emotional Aspects" to it too. They say it releases the feeling of dread and failure and removes toxicity. I wonder? It is also said lemongrass instills joy and spiritual cleansing. I wonder about that too. What is your experience? I believe it to be true since I reach for it for comfort. Once you drink it, or use lemongrass, it creates a lighter emotion. I wonder if it helps cleanse the mind, body and soul? I think so~

I hope you enjoyed my video. 

If any of my Internet friends love lemongrass, then share it with me. I would love to know any other ways to us it to spark my own herbal creativity. ~Smileeee
