April 2023

Copyright © by Judith, 2023

Bring astrological herbalism into your life with these recipes from Mrs. Winkler's Cosmic Apothecary.

Taurus governs the ear-nose and throat and is infamous for fluidic, lymphatic, and mucoid congestion/pressure in this general region. The new arrival of Saturn-in-Pisces is believed to increase this tendency by slowing the lymphatic flow.

This remedy is specifically designed for assisting the upper lymphatics and moving ear-nose-throat fluidic pressure type congestion (with physician’s approval). Cleavers is a specific for ear pressure and Plantain for the tongue (swelling, etc), whereas Blue Violet is a specific for moving the lymphatics of the upper body.

Note: Herbs contain phytochemicals and should be administered only with the advice of a licensed health professional. Do not self-treat.

You can use the given dates and precise times for creating the tincture, or, with your physician’s approval, for administrating the tincture anytime later throughout the year. These given times are also perfect for commencement of protocol (within the advice of your health practitioner).
