Aren't you proud of yourself when you make a successful dessert or meal for your family or friends? The "home-made" preparation is advantageous for several reasons:
On the one hand, the personal satisfaction of having built something by oneself, this pride lurks deep inside us.
On the other hand, and I think this is very important, by making things ourselves, we know where the products we use come from. Very often, many of us will adopt naturally sourced or organic ingredients.
Le principe DIY « do it yourself »
This DIY principle has been very popular on blogs and various social networks for years now that you do as much as you can yourself . This term and this fashion is spread in almost all areas of life: creative hobbies, cooking, decoration and even beauty products, household and care products. Doing your cosmetics yourself is nowadays something very common and even very common. Either because we have realized how the world works or because we want the best for our body and our health. Either for these two reasons! Regardless, preparing your products yourself is a real joy.
As for the question of time, "I don't have time for that". It is not uncommon to be faced with the problem of lack of time. I will simply say that it is a matter of organizing your life and adopting a new lifestyle. Very quickly things can fall into place and a routine can very quickly adapt to your current rhythm.
Et si nous adoptions le DIY pour les soins thérapeutiques naturels ?
By adopting a conscious behavior towards our health products, we would avoid treating ourselves with any health care products from the chemical industry. Let's go! Let's make a syrup for respiratory ailments together.
First, you will need to prepare an infusion of thyme fresh . To do this, I invite you to pour water at 85 degrees over 15 grams of thyme sprigs and let it steep for about fifteen minutes.
When the infusion has cooled, you can then strain it and pour it into a new saucepan with 400 to 500 grams of organic cane sugar . Then gently melt the sugar and the previously made infusion over low heat. Gradually adjust your syrup until it looks like you want, either by adding sugar or water.
Then pour your syrup into an opaque container that you can store all winter.
Mais quelles sont les vertus du thym ?
The important thing to remember about this plant is that it has powerful antiviral abilities but also antiseptic . Very ENT oriented, it will be appreciated for respiratory type diseases and winter epidemics such as colds or flu. Thanks to its functions as a respiratory stimulant, it will be appreciated by the whole family because it helps to breathe during congestion, for example.
However, thyme also has other interesting properties:
It is a digestive stimulant and intestinal antiseptic, which means that it purifies the intestines while supporting digestion.
It is a tonic for the nervous system and therefore helps when you suffer from a slight slump or temporary fatigue.
Emotionally, it could soothe and calm anxieties and fight against depression.
Be careful, however, if you use it in essential oil Be careful, however, if you use it as an essential oil rather than as a fresh or dried plant, as there are several types of thyme in aromatherapy and each has its own properties. Let us name the thyme with linalol, with thujanol, with carvacrol, with geraniol, etc.... It is best to seek advice from your natural health therapist.
