I have been meaning to blog about this topic for days.  My goat club hosted a ‘basic goat care’ class last month.  We invited a master herbalist as a guest speaker.  I was like a sponge sitting there.. just soaking in all of her great information.  Not only did she talk about goat health.. she spoke a bit about human health. 

A few days after the class, I had a chance to check out her website.. and all the herbs/herb blends she has to offer.  I have always tried to raise my goats as natural as possible.  I decided to augment my herd nutrition with some of her herbs.  I also ordered a few things for our personal use.

I was like a kid getting a present when my box arrived.  I could smell the herbs before I opened the box.  Some of the herbs fragrance reminds of poultry seasoning   Others reminded me of apple pie seasoning ..lol..  

Since discovering Kat Drovdahl, M.H., I have had a goat come down sick.  I utilized her consulting services (according to what I have read on her website, she can be consulted for humans, dogs, cats, ++ other animals).  She charges a small fee that is well worth it.  She responded to my cry for help immedietly.  If you would like to see her website and discover what she has to offer.. go to http://firmeadow.com/

Tonight my 13 year old son was bee stung twice.  This is the fourth time this summer that the kids have gotten into bee’s.  Years ago, my Aunt shared this tip with me and now I will pass it along to whomever can benefit. 

Bee Sting With Aspirin Paste

Immedietely after you are stung, put 2 aspirins (per sting)  in a small baggy, crush and add a small amount of water to form a thick paste.  Scrape the paste out of the baggy and smear over the sting.  This will help take the pain away.  Best advice of all is to avoid bee’s …lol..
