Smelly necklace


Smelly necklace (I gave it this name)
is actually a cold compress that was recommended for my goiter by a macrobiotic doctor.
Well, it certainly can't hurt me, so... let's do it regularly! 

Recipe: Grate 70 % of potato and cut into small pieces 30 % of white cabbage (small quantities),
mix them together, put on a cotton cloth & veggie mix side directly on your skin, around your front neck, where thyroid is.
For at least an hour, once per day. Three days in a row and then two days nothing; and repeat...

PS: I don't grate & cut them, I put them in a small mixer... ;-)
For a cotton cloth, I use small pieces of an old bed sheet,
and to fix it with a mix to & around my neck, I use a three folded back or front of old XL tee-shirts (Berry's, of course ;-)

Breathing exercises

Sauerkraut juice


From time to time, one can have a mouthful of sauerkraut juice.

Fruit juices


Upon self-observation & if really needed, one can drink (by gulps) tinny quantity of fresh juice 
out of one of the following fruits: orange, grapefruit, black currant, blueberry, or lemon (with water).

Hawthorn tincture

(hawthorn haws • Crataegus oxyacantha • glogove jagode • fruits d'aubépine • meidoorn vrucht)

• For a heart support, one can take 20-40 drops (depends upon weight) of hawthorn tincture per day
• In case of a low blood pressure, one needs to take 20-30 drops of hawthorn tincture, 3 times per day.

Angelica tea

(Angelica • Angelica archangelica • angelika • Angelique • engelwortel)

Against goiter, one needs to drink one cup of this tea throughout a day (it provides iodine).

Pimpernel tea

(pimpernel • Pimpinella magna • bedrenec oz. bibernelica • pimprenelle • pimpernel)

In case of a cancer in the neck glands, gums, tongue... one needs to use & drink this tea.

Clear onion broth

One can drink up to two cups of this broth per day.

I usually add one garlic clove to it as garlic is a great source of selenium (helps regulate thyroid function).

Calcium tea

Lungs & limestone tea

• common plantain (Plantago major) • narrow-leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata) • common lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis)
• Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica) • ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) • common mullein (Verbascum thapsus) • "Meum mutellina"

It is recommended to drink it in special "cancer" cases, as well as to provide us with calcium and potassium.

One can drink it as much as wished.

Calcium tea

As ground ivy is forbidden, and three other ingredients from "limestone" tea above aren't available in Belgium,
we've decided for the following "calcium" mix at my "herbal shop" (30 g of each & only 10 g of Iceland mos):

• ribwort / narrow-leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata • suličasti trpotec • plantain lanceole • smalle weegbree) 

• common lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis • pljučnik • pulmonaire • longkruid) 

• Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica • islandski lišaj • linchen Islande • Ijslandmos)

• wild / creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum • materina dušica • serpolet / thym sauvage • wilde tijm) 
• common gypsyweed (Veronica officinalis • jetičnik • Véronique • ereprijskruid) 
• sweet woodruff (Asperula odorata • dišeča perla oz. prvenec • gaillet odorant • lievevrouwbedstro)

• elecampane (Inula helenium • veliki oman • aunée • alant)

• horsetail (Equisetum arvense • preslica • prèle • akkerpaardenstaart) 

• germander (Teucrium chamaedrys • vrednik • germandrée / petit chêne • ?)
