🥀💖 Erica's Love Oil 💖🥀

this love oil is perfect for love workings, offerings to love deities, or if you're into it...sex magick.

**disclaimer** this is a completely self-researched and self-tested herbal oil. please, do your research, do a test patch on your own skin, and talk with a doctor or medical professional if you are concerned in any way. Not intended for ingestion or internal use. Legally, I cannot be held liable for anything that happens while using this oil. Do not repost text or photos without credit or permission.

I am known to have sensitive skin. DM for sources - there's a lot I don't want to link them all.

This oil was very much made as a desire for a lovely smelling, aphrodisiac oil to be used in love workings and sex magic and possibly, if I could research something well enough...used carefully during intimate times.

If that's not something you're into, then don't use it for those purposes. Since, I've used it to anointing love candles, and honestly for aromatherapy, and for general self-care - mundane or magickal.

🥀💖 Ingredients 💖🥀

Grapeseed oil - carrier oil to dilute ingredients. Known to be safe around the genitals, high in vitamin E, comedogenic rating of 1, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, treats acne and makes skin softer. Ruled by the moon, water - deals with fertility, money, money, romantic love, passion, prosperity

Goldenrod - mine was foraged around my home this pre-autumnal season Supports kidney and urinary health and has been used to treat UTI's. Supports proper blood flow - helping promote intimacy's and supporting the libido. Said to be particularly powerful for men *cough* called golden rod for a reason *cough* Ruled by Venus and air - releases emotional blocks (helping further promote intimacy), divination, love, prosperity, "sealing the deal" in love workings

Hibiscus - I used a tea packet Not for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Exfoliating, hence, not for everyday use. Has been tested to fight infections including UTI's, can lower blood sugar and blood pressure, and one study saw it increase sexual activity in male rats. Fights aging, evens tone, hydrates and moisturizes skin, speeds up wound healing. Ruled by Venus, water, and associated with Aphrodite - passion, love, lust, freedom, prophetic and lucid dreams, beauty, courage watch for side effects such as headache, stomach issues, nausea, as it can lower blood sugar when taken internally. Not what this oil is for, but still something to watch for.

🥀💖 Method 💖🥀

Make sure herbs are dry before using in oil - you don't want your oil to go rancid. Add herbs and oil to container of choice, make sure its air tight. Let steep for as long as you'd like, but the longer, the better. You can strain the herbs if you'd like, but I like the way they look.

Charge however you'd like. Meditate on purpose during creation and after.

please, please, please - DO A PATCH TEST! what works for my skin may not work for yours. I did a couple - one on my inner arm, and one on my inner thigh.

🥀💖 Notes 💖🥀

Tbh, I used Teva's Hibiscus tea blend because I was impatient and didn't want to wait to buy hibiscus. I double checked all ingredients to make sure they were skin safe - all were - with the note that cinnamon and citric acid can be an irritant when used in high concentration or everyday use.

I did a patch test on my skin, as well as only made a small batch at first. I have had no issues with burning, bumps, or other irritation.

It is of course recommended to uh, not do that, in future batches.

Home Remedies for Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Managing hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) involves an assortment of complications. This chronic inflammatory skin illness produces various symptoms — among them, painful abscesses in skin folds that leak and give off a foul odor — each of which may need to be treated with individually.

What’s more, “Some individuals [with HS] are disappointed with standard therapy. They may be weary of using antibiotics or other treatments, or they’re worried about long-term adverse effects,” says Rita O. Pichardo, MD, a dermatologist at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who runs a clinic for HS patients.

For that reason, many seek to alternative remedies to assist control the disease. In fact, according to data published in January 2020 in JAMA Dermatology, this is the case for roughly 84 percent of persons who have HS.

As is common with alternative medical therapies, most that have been advertised to help treat HS have not been proved to work, but few have a considerable lot of anecdotal evidence to back them up and may be worth trying, with a dermatologist’s direction. “HS is like a jigsaw, and we have various parts to manage it — and every piece counts,” explains Dr. Pichardo.

1. Aloe Vera

The thick, meaty leaves of this succulent contain a gel that’s utilized for a multitude of medical uses. It may hydrate dry skin, relieve sunburns, and reduce inflammation and itching. It’s commonly added to lotions, creams, and other items.

What it does: Although aloe vera hasn’t been demonstrated to cure HS wounds, it may help reduce discomfort, because to its cooling characteristics, adds Pichardo.

How to utilize it: You may collect the aloe vera gel by creating a longitudinal incision in a leaf and squeezing it out. Apply the gel to damaged skin and cover with gauze.

2. Diluted Bleach

When used full strength, bleach is applied to laundry to brighten whites and to cleaning solutions to kill germs. As it turns out, it may also help treat several skin diseases, including HS.

What it does: Bleach may help dry up areas of HS that are seeping. It’s also an antibiotic that may help prevent open abscesses from becoming infected.

How to apply it: It may seem nearly deadly to purposefully put bleach on your skin, but it only takes a little to be effective. Pichardo suggests diluting a quarter cup of household bleach in a full tub of bathwater. “Soak for 10 to 15 minutes, three times a week,” she advises.

3. Epsom Salts

Epsom salts are naturally occurring mineral salts that include magnesium and sulfate. It’s affordable and simple to obtain at pharmacies, supermarkets, and other places, as well as online.

What it does: Proponents believe the minerals in Epsom salts are absorbed into the skin, but there’s little proof that’s true. But, Pichardo notes, “An Epsom salt bath may help dry the pus coming from HS lesions, and it will assist overall with inflammation.”

How to utilize it: Create a bath soak by adding roughly one and a quarter cups of Epsom salts to a full tub of water. Pichardo also suggests you may wet a clean towel with a mix of Epsom salts and warm water to use as a compress, applied directly on lesions.

4. Honey

The honey you pour over toast or into tea may have advantages that extend beyond sweetening. “There are anecdotal indications honey may aid with HS,” adds Pichardo, “and I’ve had patients tell me it has benefited them.”

What it does: Honey, especially a kind called manuka, “is antibacterial, it has healing effects, and it is anti-inflammatory,” she explains. Laboratory studies have uncovered evidence to show honey is able to modify the skin’s immune system. It’s even used to cure infected wounds.

How to utilize it: Honey may be used a various ways for HS, adds Pichardo. “You may apply it directly to lesions on its own or use a combination of honey and turmeric. You may also take it by mouth, either alone or combined with tea or another beverage.”

5. Turmeric

Turmeric is a brilliant yellow spice that provides a vibrant addition to curry powder, stews, marinades, sauces, and more.

What it does: Turmeric has been identified in studies to have various possible health advantages, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial characteristics, and is widely used to help treat inflammation in dermatology and rheumatology, adds Pichardo.

How to use it: Turmeric pills are available at pharmacies, health food shops, and online. Look for a supplement that combines turmeric with piperine, the active element in black pepper, since this common pantry item has been discovered in tests to boost the absorption of curcumin — and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity itself. Powdered turmeric also may be combined with water to produce a paste, which you can apply directly on HS lesions,” adds Pichardo.

6. Vicks VapoRub

This over-the-counter ointment is often used as a cough suppressant when breathed in or to reduce aches and pains when put on tight muscles.

What it does: Some individuals who have HS report Vicks VapoRub may help alleviate discomfort when applied directly to sores. This may be owing to its active ingredients: camphor, eucalyptus, and menthol.

Among the inactive components, nutmeg oil may help decrease swelling and kill germs, while thyme oil, an antifungal, may alleviate itching surrounding lesions, according to hopeforhs.org, a nonprofit group focusing on education about and activism around hidradenitis suppurativa. Many patients also prefer the strong menthol and eucalyptus aroma, which may help cover odors connected to HS, Pichardo explains.

How to use it: Vicks VapoRub is not authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat HS, thus there are no medically sanctioned rules for how to use it. Most individuals apply a small coating to closed lesions and cover it with a bandage. The crucial thing to remember is that Vicks VapoRub should never be used to open or draining abscesses, adds Pichardo.

7. Zinc

Zinc is a vital trace element that helps strengthen up the immune system, promotes wound healing, and may even help minimize the intensity of colds. Most individuals require just a modest quantity each day: According to the National Institutes of Health, healthy adult men require 11 milligrams (mg) of zinc per day, while females need 8 mg. It’s present in foods that are abundant in protein, such as oysters, lobster, crab, beef, chicken, and beans, as well as mushrooms.

What it does: According to Pichardo, zinc may assist control the immune system. It also is occasionally prescribed for easing inflammation and swelling.

How to use it: Oral zinc supplements are included in the lifestyle factors and alternative therapy suggestions for HS, however the evidence of their usefulness is minimal. “I prescribe 90 to 100 milligrams of zinc gluconate daily,” adds Pichardo. “The over-the-counter medications are normally 50 mg apiece, so take two of those.”

Should You Try a Home Remedy for HS?

If you aren’t content with your present treatment, you may want to speak to your doctor about adding an alternate therapy to your existing regimen. According to a research published in October 2021 in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, which compared orthodox HS treatments to alternative therapy, “People who utilize alternative treatments report a greater quality of life.” (Pichardo coauthored the study.)

Keep a number of things in mind, however. One is cost: Nearly half of persons with HS who utilize unorthodox therapies report spending anywhere from $11 to $50 a month, and 1 in 4 spend $50 to $100.

The other is safety and effectiveness. “More research on alternative treatments and HS are needed,” adds Pichardo. In her own practice, she leverages the experiences of her patients, available research, and the qualities of various treatments to inform recommendations.

Check with your personal dermatologist before you attempt anything new to cure HS. They may help you figure out which home remedies may show the greatest promise for you and are safe to use with your present medication.

Apollon's Blessing Deity Oil

"APOLLON (Apollo) was the Olympian god of prophecy and oracles, music, song and poetry, archery, healing, plague and disease, and the protection of the young." - Theoi

I actively work with Lord Apollon for my health and Herbalism. He aids me with knowledge along with helping me with my chronic pain and chronic fatigue. I venerate him on Sundays as that is the planetary day of the sun.

I made an oil for him to call upon him. I use it to carry him with me and as a candle-dressing. It helps me with my intuition, my mental/physical health (I am in no way claiming this will heal you. This is a personal association) and creativity.

You will need

Clean and cleansed bottle to place oil in

Chamomile - The Sun, stress, insomnia, anxiety, banish negativity

Rosemary - The Sun, mental clarity (to lift brain fog), memory and concentration

Bay Leaf- The Sun, healing, inspiration, creativity,

Cypress - The Sun, healing (traditionally eternal life and the continuity of the soul), strength, protection, historical plant

Carrier Olive Oil - Fire, protection, historical offering

You can either do the folk method or the hot method. You can find my post on infused oils here to learn how to make infused spell oils. I suggest if you are an animist or someone who wants more power from your oils. Speak to the herbs kindly, treat them less like an ingredient and ask them respectfully for their aid and the purpose they'll have in your oil. Use intention. The same goes for the Olive oil.

You can sub any of these, however, Cypress is historical for him. Try to keep herbs within the theme of the sun, fire and healing for his oil. Olive oil is a traditional offering for example.

Blessings!

Making a nettle infusion!

You need: dry nettle, a jar, a lid, a butterknife, hot water, and a fridge.

Nettle is once again lush and beautiful so I harvested a bunch (wearing gloves) and left it on the bedsheet for a few days to dry. Nettle already has very low water content so it dries very fast! Once it's crunchy it can no longer sting you, and it's harmless to touch (but don't push your hand in it randomly because stems can still cause some irritation.)

Now, when it's dry, you can grab a bunch, and stuff it inside of a jar, filling about two thirds of it (if your nettle is in smaller pieces then less!).

Once it's in a jar, you pour boiling water over it. Once the water covers all of the nettle, there's going to be a lot of displaced air bubbles inside, so grab a butter knife, and stir it around, the water level will get significantly lower.

The nettle gets so pretty and green inside. After stirring and freeing all the air bubbles, you fill it up to the very top, and you put the lid on. (If you need to grab onto the jar to close it up, use a cloth to touch it! Hot.)

You leave this to cool down, and then leave it in the fridge overnight. The next day, you grab it out of the fridge, strain it into a cup, and that's it!

The color can vary from yellow to black, depending on how much nettle you used, and how long it was left in the fridge. For some people, this will have a taste similar to milk! Sometimes it can feel slightly grassy if it's only been 24 hours since you've made it, but if you leave it half a day longer, it gets to a much sweeter tasting phase.

Now that you know how, why would you make this? Because this is amazing, incredibly helpful herbalist potion-like thing to drink. Firstly, if you're in any way lacking in iron or calcium, this will have your back. I'm using it every day to make sure my calcium levels are good and my bones healthy. It also has immense positive psychological effect on a person, it will regulate your hormones, lower your stress levels, and give you a burst of new energy. First few times I had this, it made me incredibly energetic, and for about a month I was able to get all of my chores done, despite chronic exhaustion. It made me happy and giddy and whatever I was stressed about, now seemed like an easy, do-able task. Forever impressed with this drink! And will never stop making it and drinking it, for as long as nettles are growing.

When allergies start to hit, like today, I usually add a pinch of cayenne pepper to my food as a nasal decongestant, and use my garlic infused honey to soothe my sore throat caused by post nasal drip.

The honey can be taken alone or mixed into an herbal tea. (It's recommended that you eat the garlic cloves, particularly when you have a cold, but it's not 100% necessary if you don't want to.)

Garlic Infused Honey Recipe

1 clean and dry jar with lid

1 head of garlic, peeled and crushed or minced

Honey

I hate mincing garlic, so I usually just crush it with the flat side of my knife and add it to the jar. A garlic press can also be used.

Add enough honey to cover the garlic.

Screw the lid on tight and store it in a dark, cool place. Mix the honey once a day (I usually just turn the jar upside down).

Should be ready to use in a few days. Honey will be thin and amber in color.

Use to soothe sore throat caused by cough, illness, or allergies.
