How to Make a Salve for Pain
First of all, how cute are these tiny deodorant sticks? I didn’t realize when I ordered them that they were 15ml sized, but I’m glad about that, because I probably would have looked for something bigger. These are the perfect size for your purse, or glove compartment, or wherever else you like to stash your much-loved salves. This week, I used them to make my Muscle Magic salve for pain. This is the salve I made for our son to take to Alaska for the salmon fishing season. It’s been a life saver for him up there, and he tells me frequently how much it helps. Salmon fishing is…

I’m sure all the mention of Covid-19 in the news has something to do with that, as people are suddenly thinking more about how what they can do to boost the immune system.

More and more people are considering the idea of putting the primary care of their own health in their own hands. The goal is not to eliminate Western medicine or the help of doctors; the goal is…

How to make your own homemade hand sanitizer
” If you’ve read Twig and Feather for any length of time, it’s probably clear that I’m a big fan of homemade first aid, homemade health products and home remedies. So when I overheard a conversation about the lack of hand sanitizer at Costco the other day (while I was braving the crowds to grab some toilet paper from the quickly dwindling supply), I decided it was time to show you how easy it is to make your own homemade hand sanitizer. The crowd at Costco was what you’d normally only encounter on the day before Thanksgiving. You could barely move. And as we elbowed our way through the masses,…

About seven years ago, give or take, my husband gave me the scare of my life. Word to the wise: when your husband can’t walk three blocks without having to take a break or lift the empty garbage cans out of the back of his truck without feeling pain, you need to clear your calendar for the next few days and drive him to the hospital. Two blocked arteries (both 99% … otherwise known as “widow makers”) and two heart stents…
