Mim, what can you do about warts?

Dear Worried Wart

Horny papules are the bane of my existence. The weirdest remedies have worked. Taking your wart to a scary graveyard at midnight (don’t think it works as well at crematorium gardens) or spitting on it every morning. This last one may have some science behind it, due to the enzymes in saliva. The homoeopathic remedy Thuja is a standard for warts. Another possibility is applying the fresh juice of the greater celandine plant (Chelidonium) to the offending horny papule.

Best of luck.

Hi Mim and hope you’re well. Just wondering about the difference between Bright-eyed and Bushy-tailed tea and Go-Go tea. I ordered a big container of Bright on Friday (with a few other things) and tried my small bag of Go-Go over the weekend. It’s brilliant! Happy to give Bright a go this time but would be helpful to know the difference. They both sound like they’re sort of energy/stamina-related. I hope you’re well and all the best.

Vicki, thank you for your kind words. Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed contains more herbs designed to deal with the effects of stress on the body, and help with endurance and stamina, containing Siberian ginseng, damiana, gotu kola and licorice. Whereas Go-Go, still a wonderful brew for energy and vim, is based solely on licorice as the adrenal tonic. MIM

I love your preggers tea, drank it before, during and after my first pregnancy. We’re trying to get pregnant again and I’m just wondering if there any any herbal teas I shouldn’t drink when pregnant. Thanks

Melissa, glad you enjoyed Preggers. Generally herbal teas of most varieties are fine during pregnancy because a tea or infusion is the weakest form of herbal preparations as compared to tinctures, extracts and tablets. However, there are a few NO GO’s which include: andrographis, blue and black cohosh, corydalis, cat’s claw, golden seal, juniper, myrrh, pau d’arco, poke root, wormwood. The usual suspect herbal teas such as peppermint, chamomile, ginger are all fine. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
MIM
