Let’s make some [...]]]> I don’t like drugs, not even commercial cough syrups. But when I feel like crapola, I am tempted. I just want to make it go away. So I almost asked Carol to go to the store, to buy the forbidden cough syrup, and then I remembered, Grandma’s Secret Cough Syrup.

Let’s make some TOGETHER!

Take about 8 cups of water, add in 2 BIG ONIONS from the garden, some GINGER ROOT – wild preferred, a few hot pepper flakes and boil.

After about 10 minutes on a soft boil, with you lovingly giving thanks all the time, pout about 6 cups of the liquid into a bowl. Add in honey. Keep stirring with love in your heart and mind. Stir in honey. Stir in honey.

Drink the 2 cups left over broth and eat the goup, she always said it was good for you.

Let the syrup thicken. If it is TOO THICK, Make more broth, and add it in.  Drink the left overs.  Remember, it’s good and good for you!

As you can tell from the recipe, Grandma wasn’t big on EXACT AMOUNTS.

She was big on ALL the ingredients.  Don’t leave ANYTHING out!

Ingredients:  Onions.  Water.  Ginger.  Hot pepper flakes.  Honey.

Did I miss anything?

Oh yes, the MOST IMPORTANT ONES.

“Remember, the love and the thankfulness.”

Maybe that’s why it works so well.

Grandma used to say, “Share some Tobacco”.

PS: I am not a medical doctor, so this is not Grandma’s Secret is not intended to treat or cure anything. Let’s just say it tastes good and is fun to make.

PPS: Maybe I will get Carol to take a photo of the finished product. I know Grandma’s Secret Syrup is not as beautiful as iPhotographGod material, but you might enjoy it too!

I just got back from doing my morning spirit walk, kung fu, and giving thanks. It’s the best way I’ve found to become a little more native every day.

“I honor my spirit, enjoy and move my body, and align my mind with gratitude.”

As I was walking in the door with some plants to dry, I remembered a teaching given to me years ago from a trusted elder.

“What you need grows close to home. Notice.”

“Close to home” means close to you physically and close to you in time.

This year, I have gathered and dried more COMFREY and BONESET than I have in the past 5 years combined. They are both growing like wildfire “close to home”.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with “the swine flu”. I do know that it has something to do with me.

Another quick plant teaching, “Don’t ever treat disease, treat people.”

I could tell you what comfrey and boneset are good for. At least I could tell you what I learned in Naturopath school, or what I have since read in books.

I would prefer instead to just notice. My two friends, comfrey and boneset are growing close to home. I will give thanks, offer tobacco, gather, and share. My attention is on me, and my world, and the wholeness.

If you were to shift your perspective from disease to wholeness, following what I did here, what would happen in your life today? What would happen to change for the rest of your life?

Let me know. 2020@exhostage.com
