A quick fix from my Herbal Encyclopedia for this sick lady (meaning me). I call it the Cold Remedy Elixir:
Drink 3-5 times daily while symptoms persist.
It’s hard to believe that this image above was taken on Seneca Lake and has no filter or editing. This is really what the sky looked like late August. I am grateful to have captured it.

On another note, but staying with the tangerine theme – I have been saving all of my tangerine peels for something magnificent. Here are the things I made with them:
Here is how I did it:
1. First, I collected and dried a bunch of tangerine peels. They must me really dry, like breakable.
2. I put the tangerine peels (and a few grapefruit peels) into a blender and blended into a powder.
3. Then I portioned out 3 different jars of power; 1 for the scrub, 1 for the spice and the last for the essential oil.
4. Sugar & Tangerine Scrub: I took the powder for the scrub and added equal parts of sugar to peel. When I go to use this, I will add a little bit of oil to make the scrub.
5. Tangerine Powder / Spice: I added the tangerine powder into a spice jar for easy sprinkling on things like salmon. I used this the other night on salmon, mixed with fresh crushed black pepper and salt and it was delicious!
6. Tangerine Essential Oil: And lastly, I used the remaining tangerine powder to make Tangerine Essential Oil. Use the same directions from my Lavender Essential Oil Tutorial here.
Let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help! Do you have any peel/food scrap recipes?
