Nutmeg Sleeping Posset

Posset is a Milk Drink, Taken at night to help with relaxation. Posset was used often in medieval times, and this recipe dates to the 14th Century.

1 cup Milk

Grated Nutmeg or 1 tsp. Nutmeg Spice Powder

Heat the milk in a pan. As it boils, pour it carefully into a mug (you may want to wear an oven mitt)

Grate a quarter of a whole nutmeg, or sprinkle the powdered spice over the milk; wait about 30 seconds, then stir the nutmeg into the milk.

Sip Slowly and Enjoy!

If You do not drink cow’s milk, You could try this with goats milk, maybe almond milk or coconut milk, but I’m not sure how it would taste and if the benefits would be as effective

Shea Butter

Before Making and adding Shea Butter Body Whip to My Etsy store I would like to share some information about the benefits of Shea Butter and a link to my favorite supply company Mountain Rose Herbs

 

Shea Butter is derived from the pressed nuts of the karite tree.  In Africa, shea butter is used for cooking oil, as a water proofing wax, for hairdressing and for candle-making; and also as an ingredient of medicinal ointments.

Shea Butter nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F.  Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy.  They are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin. They help prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines.  Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator. It soothes rough, dry or chapped skin and helps soften dry or damaged hair.

The Shea Butter  in my products is hand harvested, certified organic, and expeller pressed/unrefined.

Lavender works well in the treatment of acne, eczema, dermatitis, fungus, burns and wounds. it makes a refreshing astringent as well as an effective skin moisturizer. It can alleviate aches, pains and swelling from arthritis, injury, headache and other maladies.

Lavender and Sage are herbs that both have properties that are beneficial to the skin. They can be used in herbal or essential oil form.

Sage can help with aging of the skin and dandruff. Mint soothes skin, relieves itching and is also good for pimples. Its anti pruritic properties can be used for treating bites of insects like mosquitoes, honey-bees, hornets, wasps, gnats etc.
Lemon Verbena is used to moisturize the skin and is also good for sunburn.

You can find an herbal body scrub in my etsy shop that contains all of these ingredients.
