Did you know that Witch Hazel is a large bushy shrub or a small tree that opens its flowers in the late fall and winter after the leaves have fallen off. Witch hazel is used as a topical astringent, for relieving minor bleeding, inflammation, for skin irritations, hemorrhoids, mild diarrhea and gum health. Witch hazel is best known as a remedy that is available in the grocery store or drug store and is a distilled witch hazel extract. You can also make a tea from dried witch hazel. The plant’s fresh and partially dried leaves are used to make witch hazel extract. The bark is also used for lotions, liniments, tinctures, salves, decoctions and homeopathic remedies. The nuts are edible but not used medicinally. I keep my witch hazel in the refrigerator so it is icy cold and feels so soothing on skin irritations, insect bites, hives and sunburn. I also mix witch hazel into a paste with red clay for a poison ivy remedy. The paste is applied to the poison ivy site and it draws out the toxins. I have used this for years and it really works. So add a bottle of witch hazel to your fridge or buy some dried witch hazel at your local herb shop so you have it next time you need it. >>Candace

Cell Phones -  Don’t throw away  your old cell phones! Did you know that they can be donated to organizations who in turn give them to women’s shelters or other needy people. They can also be recycled! It is said that approximately 130 million cell phones are discarded each year. About 50 million end up in landfills. The average life of a cell phone is less than 2 years. You do the math. There are many companies that will recycle cell phones. Staples recycles cell phones and most telephone companies like AT&T and T Mobile recycle cell phones. Don't ever throw away your cell phone into the landfill. It is easy to get on the internet and see if your cell phone company or provider recycles and get the details on recycling your phone from them. It has been estimated that if we recycle 100 million phones we would save enough energy to power 18,500 US households for a year and that doesn’t take into account the chemicals that would not be released into our landfills. Make sure you are recycling your cell phone and other electronic devices. >>Candace
