Ingredients Breakdown: Manuka Honey: Packed with the unique compound Methylglyoxal (MGO), known for its strong antibacterial properties. It's also rich in leptosperin, DHA, antioxidants, and prebiotics. Raw Honey: Boasts over 180 substances including vital minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and a spectrum of B-vitamins and vitamin C. Remember, it's minimally processed to preserve these natural treasures. Regular Honey: Often processed, which might dilute its natural goodness. Beware, much of the store-bought honey could be mixed with sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup.

Surprising Fact 🤯: Americans consume about 400 million pounds of honey annually, with 70% being imported, often adulterated with other sweeteners.

It's a beauty guru's dream for combating acne and moisturizing dry skin. 🌟 Remember, the higher the MGO rating, the stronger the benefits! Raw Honey: A historical gem for immune support, packed with prebiotics for gut health and antioxidants for fighting off free radicals. 🛡️ Pro Tip & Warning 💡: Raw honey might contain botulinum spores; hence, it's a NO-NO for babies under one year old due to the risk of botulism. This applies to all honey types.

Foraging for Goldenrod (Solidago)

Goldenrod or Solidago blooms in late summer/early fall across much of North America. It's beautiful golden flowers reflect the golden sun of late summer. Goldenrod is edible and medicinal and can be used as a natural dye!!

Identifying Goldenrod

Goldenrod is a member of the Asteraceae or sunflower family and likes open sunny areas like meadows, fields, and forest openings. The stems are tall and stiff with tiny golden-yellow flowers in a dense, pyramid-shaped, pluming cluster. It's a prolific perennial and can grow 0.5-2m tall.

The leaves vary slightly depending on the species of goldenrod, but they're long, narrow, and taper to a point. The edges can be smooth or slightly toothed, or slightly hairy on the underside depending on species.

Goldenrod in my area likes to grow alongside New England Aster. They make such a beautiful combination of purple and yellow and can aid in identification. If you see one you just might see the other!

Look-Alikes

Goldenrod can sometimes be mistaken for Senecio species like ragwort (left) and groundsel (right). Some Senecio species contain TOXIC pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause liver damage. As always please be 100% certain of your identification before harvesting!! That said, senecio's flowers are generally much larger and much fewer than goldenrod's many tiny flowers. They also tend to bloom earlier in the season than goldenrod.

Harvesting Goldenrod

All of the above-ground parts of goldenrod are edible! Harvest by snipping the top of the stems, leaves, and flower heads with scissors (about the top 1/3rd of the plant). The earlier in the blooming season the better! The later blooms tend to be more bitter and can fluff up like dandelions if you want to dry them.

If you're worried about seasonal allergies you should be safe with goldenrod! Goldenrod is insect pollinated so it doesn't need to release pollen into the air.

Whatever you do DO NOT pull up entire goldenrod plants!!! Goldenrod is a massively important plant for hundreds of pollinators including bees, butterflies, beetles, and wasps. Harvest sustainably, no pulling up by the roots, and only snip the tops you'll use!!

You can use goldenrod fresh or dry it by hanging it upside down for about a week (spread it out for adequate airflow!) or in your kitchen oven by spreading in a single layer on baking sheets and baking 4-5 hours at 170F/76C. Store dried goldenrod in an airtight container.

Goldenrod Uses & Benefits

Goldenrod as an herbal remedy is highly anti-inflammatory, great for the kidneys (prevents and flushes kidney stones, helps relieve minor bladder infections), helpful for minor respiratory issues like seasonal allergies and colds, and helps heal minor wounds and swelling when used externally. It's also edible raw or cooked! The leaves can be cooked like spinach or used in lots of tasty fall recipes like this goldenrod cornbread?!? I need it.

Safety Note: Goldenrod has been traditionally used as medicine and is regarded as very safe. That said, goldenrod taken internally has a diuretic effect. If you have any problems with the urinary system or take a diuretic already, PLEASE ask a medical professional before using. Don't use herbal medicines to treat serious health issues or in fragile populations like babies or the elderly without consulting a doctor. I AM NOT A DOCTOR I JUST LIKE PLANTS.

To use your goldenrod medicinally you can make it into tea, tincture, or infused oil. You can also make a goldenrod salve to apply externally!

Goldenrod Tea:

Add 2tbsp of fresh flowers OR 1tbsp of dried flowers to 8oz hot water.

Cover and steep 15-20 minutes before straining.

This tea can be slightly bitter with a sort of anise/licorice flavor. It's great sweetened with a little honey!

Goldenrod Tincture:

Fill a small jar 1/3 - 3/4 full with chopped fresh goldenrod flowers OR 1/4 - 1/2 full with dried goldenrod flowers.

Fill jar with high-proof (40-60%) alcohol like vodka or brandy.

Cap, label, and store out of direct sunlight at least 4-6 weeks. Strain before using.

Your tincture should be good for a year or more. Take a few drops mixed with a spoonful of honey or water. Can be taken up to 3-5 times daily or as needed.

Goldenrod Infused Oil:

Fill a jar 1/4 - 1/2 full with dried goldenrod flowers.

Pour an oil (sunflower, sweet almond, or olive are good options) over the flowers until the jar is full.

Infuse one of 3 ways:

Slow Way - cap jar and place in a dark, cool spot like a cabinet for 4-6 weeks. Strain.

Solar Way - instead of capping the jar cover it with a piece of cheesecloth or scrap of old t-shirt. Set your jar in a sunny window for a few days up to a few weeks. The sun's heat infuses your oil faster! Strain.

Speedy Way - don't cap your jar and set it uncovered in a saucepan containing a few inches of water. Heat on low for 2-3 hours, watching it carefully!! Strain.

Goldenrod Salve: if you made infused oil you can easily make it into a salve!

Add 3.5oz (100g) of your infused oil and 0.5oz (14g) beeswax to a small jar.

Place the jar into a saucepan containing a few inches of water. Heat over medium low until the beeswax melts.

Let cool and apply to minor wounds, sores, swelling, aches & pains.

You can also make a gorgeous yellow or green natural fabric dye from goldenrod!

Fire Cider Recipe 1:

Fire Cider Ingredients

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1/2 to 1 cup honey

1/2 cup horseradish

8 cloves of garlic, chopped

1/2 onion

1/2 cup ginger

1 sliced jalapeño

1/2 cup fresh turmeric OR 1 tbsp dried turmeric (optional)

1/2 lemon (optional)

1/2 orange (optional)

1 tsp peppercorns (optional)

2 whole cinnamon sticks (optional)

2 rosemary sprigs (optional)

4 thyme sprigs (optional)

Directions

Prepare ingredients and place them in a sterilized quart-sized glass jar.

Pour the apple cider vinegar and honey in the jar until all of the ingredients are covered and the vinegar reaches 1/2 inch from the jar’s top. You can use a glass fermentation weight on top to keep the ingredients submerged, but that is just a preference. Shake well. Store in a dark, cool place for a month, shaking daily. It’s in vinegar, so it won’t go bad! Once done, strain, bottle, and label.

Storage: It’s vinegar, so it keeps all winter and early spring (6 months) if left in a cool dark place. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 10 months. You can take a dropperful every few hours, or I put 2 -3 droppers full into a big mug of hot water and drink that.

Benefits of ingredients

Ginger root – Ginger contains gingerol, an antibacterial compound that promotes body warmth, helping to fight off cold symptoms.

Horseradish root – Horseradish strongly stimulates the digestion, increasing gastric secretions and appetite. It can be of use in both respiratory and urinary tract infections.

Onion – Another cancer fighter, onion’s compound quercetin is a natural disease fighter.

Lemon – The levels of vitamin C found in the juice and peel are extremely effective against bacterial infections! Lemons act as a great potentiator in this cider recipe.

Rosemary Sprigs – This piney plant alleviates muscle pain, boosts the immune system, and relieves cough while you’re sick.

Turmeric – Turmeric increases the antioxidant capacity in your body. This means that all of the new antioxidants in this cider will have a home to live and work in!

Honey Fermented Garlic

It’s been a running joke in my friend group that I’m probably a vampire (due to long standing dark color patterns in my wardrobe and pale skin) but my love of garlic is one of my biggest defender points to my humanity. 

Honey fermented garlic is one of those beloved folk recipes that are especially amazing to have during cold and flu season. It’s quite a simple recipe that combines two very common kitchen items into a lovely blend of flavors and benefits.

Why Make Honey Fermented Garlic?

Honey is already well known as a natural home remedy for sore throats and pesky allergies. 

Garlic has a long list of medicinal benefits. Ingesting garlic regularly is able to reduce your chances of getting sick, and beyond that it naturally reduces blood pressure and lowers cholesterol.

By mixing honey and garlic together in this lovely little concoction, you not only make it more digestible through fermentation but you’re also combining two potent natural medicinals into one!

Is It Safe?

Lactobacillus, yeast, and acetic acid bacteria are completely safe!

With lacto-fermentation, it’s nearly impossible to make something that will cause bodily harm upon ingestion, due to the bacteria quickly being able to outcompete pretty much everything else and acidify the mixture to prevent spoilage.

Do not use this remedy, or any remedy containing honey with children under 2 years old. A child at this age contains stomach acid that isn’t fully developed yet, and their stomach acts as a low acid environment.

Instructions:

Peel the garlic, trimming it to remove any discolored parts

Press the garlic clove with the side of a knife to gently bruise it

Optional: Once the garlic is in the jar, add about 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar to the jar at this point Give the jar a quick shake to coat the garlic cloves with cider vinegar.

Ensures that the surface of the garlic starts acidic, which is a precaution against botulism (not very likely, but if you want to be extra careful here’s a step!)

Fill the jar about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way with garlic, then top it off with honey to within an inch of the lid.

Be sure to leave space at the top, as the mixture will bubble as it ferments and you don’t want it to overflow

Cover the jar with a lid and flip it a few times to distribute the honey. Loosen the lid so gasses can escape during fermentation

Bubbles begin to form in the honey after about 24 - 48 hours. After about 3 to 5 days, the garlic should be well fermented. If you’ve made it in the refrigerator, it will take about 2 - 3 weeks for the fermentation process to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can stress cause high cholesterol?

Ans: Yes, one possible cause of high cholesterol is stress. Stress causes the body to release chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can increase the amount of cholesterol, especially "bad" LDL cholesterol that the liver produces.

Stress can also result in unhealthy coping strategies like eating poorly and exercising less, which can raise cholesterol levels.

2. Can high cholesterol be genetic?

Ans: Yes, there may be a genetic component to high cholesterol. A genetic condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) causes high blood cholesterol levels.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is unable to be eliminated from the bloodstream by the body in people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) due to a gene mutation inherited from one or both parents.

3. How long does it take to lower cholesterol?

Ans: Lowering cholesterol takes quite a few times. While medication can produce more immediate changes, changes in lifestyle may take weeks or months to show results. For specific advice or best home remedy for high cholesterol, speaking with a medical expert is necessary.

4. Can dupixent cause high cholesterol?

Ans: Evidence exists to suggest that some patients taking the medication Dupixent (dupilumab), which is prescribed for eczema and asthma, may experience an increase in cholesterol.

People's reactions may differ, yet, making it critical to regularly check cholesterol levels while undergoing treatment. Check the advice and information of a medical doctor for specific information.

5. Does Xeljanz cause high cholesterol?

Ans: Yes, a higher risk of high cholesterol levels has been linked to the medication Xeljanz (tofacitinib), which is used to treat certain autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Patients taking Xeljanz should talk to their doctor about the possible risks and benefits of the medication, as regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is important.

🍎 🍋 🍒 (jakeli but also in general) 🥥 for syb 😈

a;lfda;sdfk thank you liz <3 <3 <3 answers under the cut for obvs reasons

🍎 Favorite type, looks and personality wise? Please specify the trait.

a very funny question considering *gestures to jacob and eli*

looks wise. apparently her taste in men leans more towards the "rugged mountain man" look. strong bodies, thick facial hair, tired eyes. her taste in women veers more on the femme-presenting side. she likes feeling strong and useful...protective. she's a wife guy. few things would make her happier than providing for another woman <3

but her tastes really don't matter because if you're clever and able to challenge her in some way, then odds are she'll be dtf. good banter is one of the fastest ways to get her to invite you to bed :)

🍋 Deep and slow? Hard and fast? What’s your character’s preference?

assuming she's the one being penetrated? Hard and deep. if she can't feel it or isn't walking funny the morning after then it wasn't enough. she likes the feeling of a cock/strap grinding deep inside her as well as thrusts so hard that they make her teeth rattle. bonus points if it's so hard and deep that all she can do is hang on to something for deer life as she gets mercilessly plowed.

assuming she's the one doing the penetrating? she leans more on the deep and slow side. she likes making her partners feel good and taking her time with them. she's a tease when she's on top and likes it when she's able to get her partner squirming and/or bucking against her to get her to go faster.

🍒 Would your character join a threesome if given a chance?

a;flkjasdf well considering she's part of two ot3s (jakesybeli and kitsybjake) she definitely isn't opposed to threesomes or polyamory. but it has to happen kind of naturally. she's incredibly loyal to her partners (assuming they've mutually agreed on pursuing a relationship), and when she was single, she wasn't exactly looking to be someone's third.

but with kit and jacob? well...she has the pre-established working relationship with (and lowkey crush) on kit, and when both kit and jacob get in cahoots and they both focus their attention on her...well...as if she really stood a chance lmao

and with eli and jacob? well, it's more the boys' history together that really makes it a full triangle of an ot3. i mean. a lot of it really is eli and jacob trying to one-up each other for syb's affection (eli genuinely trying while jacob (still trying) is more like 'haha ok honey i'll let you have some fun, but you are mine'). they're both trying to win her over while also engaging in some major "bitter exes with benefits" behavior <3

🥥 Does your character prefer condoms or bareback?

i mean....when having sex with anyone who had a penis, historically she has preferred they use a condom. she didn't want to get pregnant while earning barely enough to support her already existing family (she literally couldn't afford to have another mouth to feed). eventually she got on the pill but even after that she preferred condom usage because she did occasionally hook up with strangers for one-night-stands and didn't want to run the risk of getting an STI while between her combat tours.

but then she was lightly blown up and shrapnel just shredded her uterus and doctors told her she was infertile. she would have kept her condom preference (just because that's what she's used to) but she was having a dry spell after being discharged and then the reaping happened and she just went "well...might as well engage in risky behavior since i don't expect to survive this."

and considering...well...considering the cult is a "no-sex" one (according to joseph anyway) it's not like jacob had protection on hand when she came to him at the end of her Bad Day(TM). so they did it raw and she got to know what it feels like to have someone cum inside her and it gets her eyes rolling back. i really don't think the two of them ever use protection.

also just to branch this answer out even more (lmao whoops) but in the werewolf au, once she and eli decide to go steady, they get tested, and when they both show each other that they're clean, they start raw-dogging it.

so...tldr: on a practical level, syb prefers protection. on a purely physical enjoyment level....girl loves it raw.

Amber Teething Necklace: A Natural Solution for Soothing Baby's Teething Pain - Baltic Amber Masters

Teething can be a challenging time for both babies and their parents. The discomfort and irritation can disrupt sleep, affect mood, and lead to days filled with crying and fussiness. While traditional teething remedies such as gels, chilled teething rings, or medications are commonly used, many parents are turning to a natural alternative: the amber teething necklace. This centuries-old method has gained renewed attention for its potential benefits in relieving teething pain. Here’s what you need to know about amber teething necklaces:

What is an Amber Teething Necklace?

Natural Baltic Amber: Amber teething necklaces are made from Baltic amber, a fossilized tree resin known for its unique properties. The highest concentration of succinic acid—a compound believed to have soothing properties—is found in amber from this region.

Worn Around the Neck: These necklaces are not designed to be chewed on like traditional teething toys. Instead, they rest comfortably against the baby’s skin, allowing the body’s warmth to release the succinic acid.

Potential Benefits of Amber Teething Necklaces

Natural Pain Relief: Succinic acid is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. When the amber warms up on the baby’s skin, it may release small amounts of this substance, which could help reduce gum inflammation and overall discomfort.

Calming Properties: Some parents report that wearing an amber necklace has a calming effect on their baby, possibly helping with irritability and restlessness during teething.

Chemical-Free Solution: Unlike many teething gels and medications, amber necklaces provide a non-invasive, chemical-free way to manage teething pain.

Long-Lasting: Amber necklaces are designed to last for a long time, providing parents with a durable option that doesn’t need frequent replacements.

Safety Considerations

Always Supervise: Safety should be a top priority. Babies should never be left unattended while wearing an amber necklace, and it should be removed during naps and sleep to reduce the risk of choking or strangulation.

Proper Sizing: Ensure the necklace fits snugly but not too tightly. A well-fitted necklace should not be long enough for the baby to pull up to their mouth.

Breakaway Clasps: Choose necklaces with safety clasps that break apart under pressure, reducing the risk of accidents.

Individual Beads: High-quality necklaces have each bead knotted individually so that if the necklace breaks, only one bead comes loose.

How to Use Amber Teething Necklaces Effectively

Consistent Wear: For optimal results, the necklace should be worn regularly during waking hours. The succinic acid’s effectiveness relies on consistent contact with the skin.

Avoid Moisture: While amber can withstand some exposure to water, excessive moisture (such as from baths or pools) may reduce its efficacy over time. It’s best to remove the necklace before swimming or bathing.

Choosing the Right Amber Necklace

Look for Genuine Baltic Amber: Ensure the necklace is made from authentic Baltic amber. Fake amber products won’t provide the potential benefits.

Polished vs. Unpolished Beads: Some parents believe unpolished amber releases more succinic acid due to its raw surface. However, polished beads are smoother and less likely to irritate the skin.

Color and Type: Amber comes in various colors, from light honey to deep cognac. While all types contain succinic acid, some parents prefer lighter shades for their potential higher concentration.

Final Thoughts

Amber teething necklaces offer a natural alternative to help manage the discomfort of teething. Although not backed by extensive scientific research, many parents vouch for their effectiveness based on anecdotal evidence. The soothing properties of Baltic amber, combined with its long history of use, make it an intriguing option for parents seeking a non-invasive, holistic remedy for their little one’s teething troubles.

Note: Always consult with a pediatrician before introducing new products to your baby’s routine. While many parents find amber teething necklaces beneficial, safety and suitability vary from child to child.
