Cloves to The Rescue

September 24, 2010 by Marian Buck-Murray Leave a Comment

Cloves -- Nature's tiny energy booster.
Cloves — Nature’s tiny hero.

About a week ago I came down with a strange little virus.  I had a very sore throat, along with a number of canker sores in my mouth.  Yuk, not pleasant.  I was weak, tired, and I felt like I could sleep for-ever. But, because it was the day before my daughter Rosalie’s 16th birthday,  I was determined to get better FAST.

So, I loaded myself up with Kombu-Shiitake Stock, EmergenC,  and Umeboshi  Plum —  anything to boost my immunity.  Unfortunately, none of this was helping my throat — or my mouth.    And that’s when I remembered   —   CLOVES.

Back in the old days, before ibuprofen and novocaine, cloves were used to soothe tooth aches.  They are very effective at numbing pain.  I knew this, so I decided to try some clove tea, a remedy I’ve used before as an afternoon pick-me-up.

It worked!  After a couple of cups, my throat and mouth felt much better.   I kept it up, got lots of rest and drank quarts of Kombu stock.  And I got better  –  just in time for Rosalie’s birthday celebration.

Clove tea is super easy to make.  Put a pinch of whole cloves, approx. 5 or 6, in a tea ball or filter.  Put the tea ball in a cup, fill with boiling water, and steep for 3-4 minutes.  You can add honey to taste, although it tastes good without.

As I said, I’ve also used Clove Tea as a pick-me-up.  I got the idea from my friend and teacher,  Herbalist  Letha Hadady, www.asianhealthsecrets.com.  Cloves are fabulous for boosting energy.  They warm and energize the adrenal glands, enabling them to provide you with more energy.

According to Ancient Chinese Medicine, cloves also relieve nausea, hiccups, and even impotency.  Who knew something so tiny could have so much power?

So next time you need a rescue, go for the cloves.

Feel free to share this with anyone who might appreciate a kindly recue right about now.  And, tell me about your own home remedies.  I’d love to know what works for you!

Be Well and Energized,

Marian

Warming Four Spice Tea

February 18, 2010 by Marian Buck-Murray Leave a Comment

SpicesWe’ve had a load of snow here in New Jersey during the past few weeks.  It is beautiful, and for once the snow is sticking around for a while.  It’s the kind of weather that begs for a cozy fire, a fuzzy warm blanket, and a hot cup of tea.

I grew up in a fairly chilly house. My mother went eco-green before it was fashionable, and kept the heat down to conserve energy and save money.  Now I find I prefer a somewhat chilly house, and I keep the heat low.   My husband and daughters, of course, like it warmer than I do.   But when I’m alone I sometimes get a little overzealous and I let the heat drop to below 60.

When I need warmth, I love to make a big pot of Four Spice Tea – with Ginger, Clove, Cinnamon Stick and Star Anise.  It’s so easy to make, and you can find the ingredients in the spice aisle at most grocery stores.  I purchase my spices online from Mountain Rose Herbs.  They have a wonderful selection of reasonably-price organic products.

Here’s my recipe.  It’s delicious.  It’s warming.  It stimulates circulation and digestion, and it’s great for a cough or cold.  And, it smells wonderful!

Four Spice Tea

2-3 cinnamon sticks
4-5 pieces star anise
2 inches gingerroot, peeled and  sliced
4-5 cloves
4 – 6 cups water
Honey or maple syrup to taste.

Combine ingredients in large pot.  Bring to boil

Simmer for 20-30 minutes, adding water as necessary.

Strain into another pan or teapot.

Serve hot, sweetening with a little honey or maple syrup.

Enjoy!

What my clients say:

Our session was incredible. I’m still in absolute awe at how quickly you led me to the core issues that were tangling me up. So often I would feel the impact of the inner critical voice on my emotions (I’d FEEL depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious)…but I never knew what the core limiting beliefs exactly were. That you exposed them so effortlessly amazes me. I’m blown away by how good I feel – truly it is like I’m breathing deeper, feeling lighter, clearer– an everyday-kind-of joy just feels so much more accessible right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work- I can’t wait to continue further with you!

 ~ Lisa Grace Byrne, MPH  Author of Replenish, Founder of WellGroundedLife.com

THANK YOU.  I'm sure you must hear testimonials all the time, but just your presence, voice and spirit make a huge difference in the way I think and do things - and I change! It's really a miracle, and you are the catalyst. Your guidance is invaluable.

Thank you for agreeing to speak at NAO Wellness! I loved hearing your story, it’s so captivating and inspiring.  The feedback from the workshop was amazing – participants said it was transformative, that the energy in the room completely shifted, and more. I was truly blown away, I’m still feeling all the good vibes. You are such a gift.

Thank you so much, Marian!  I have held such appreciation in my heart for you and for the powerful work you have done with me.  I want to come see you for some more matrix reimprinting and EFT.  The more I expand the more I see. And I see more opportunities to release old ways and adopt new patterns that will serve my fullest expression of my soul's journey.

I started working with Marian over four years ago when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. It was an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time and I was lucky to find Marian through a friend’s recommendation. I had never done anything besides talk therapy previously and I was unfamiliar with EFT but I knew I needed something different. Marian educated me about EFT and its benefits. She tailored each session to my unique needs depending on what was going on for me emotionally and also used visualizations and breathwork. These are skills that I  also used on my own outside of our sessions. Marian is extremely skilled, grounding, empathetic and insightful. Even when I didn’t know what I needed, she listened and intuitively knew what to do. Her guidance helped me heal and move forward in my quest to be a mother. Our work together has truly been transformative for me and I continue to value our work now that I’m a new mother and am faced with new challenges.

~Susanna

Thank you so much for the session yesterday. It’s so freeing to feel grounded and energetically unblocked at the same time. You’ve been such an incredible guide and support this past year. I’m astounded by how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come.
