SAGE


The herb Sage - Salvia officinalis - is an important medicinal herb. It is used for all manner of throat, mouth, lung, sinus and ear problems. It is made into a strong infusion (tea) by steeping a tablespoon of dry leaves in 2 cups of water just off the boil. Drinking this (or dosing it orally for a horse) is tonic to the nerves; soothes the throat; helps with loose teeth/sore mouths and can ease fevers. The leaves can be added to bran mashes for horses with respiratory troubles. It can be taken daily for up to 2 weeks. The herb is used externally on injuries and on tumors.
Sage is planted all around the garden to help repel insects. I use it in powdered form with thyme and rosemary for a canine flea & tick repellent; with ground lavender only for a feline flea repellent.

Horses Heal Us

If you can get you out of the way when you come to your horse, he will show you how to shift your position within the field to a place that supports and nurtures your soul. It's all about how you feel and you empower those feelings and they create your reality and your horse is ready to show you how to feel magnificent.

Compassion not Compulsion

In all of our relationships, the light of integrity is held by Compassion. If we consider something other than our own motives and agendas, we can open to living a real life outside of the world of illusion. With animals, we will establish communication instead of domination. With loved ones, we will share our very souls. With humanity, we will become beacons of reason and unconditional love. We will shift ourselves and those who resonate with Nature to a higher kind of love and life where the demoralizing of others is simply not accepted.
