Cold Therapy Wander
Cold therapy isn’t just for athletes. Getting outside at all times of year is good for the soul.
Cold therapy isn’t just for athletes. Getting outside at all times of year is good for the soul. However brief your wander, the crisp air and reflected sunlight of a frigid, snowy day can really boost your day. I find myself more motivated and less concerned about turning up the heat once I return to the house.
If you find yourself cold and sore after a good winter wander, try Half Wild Après Ski & Sport salve to help you warm up!

Wandering Through the January Thaw
We’ve had a few beautiful “spring” days this week — a great time to get out and walk in the fresh air and see what has remained hidden under the snow this winter. Lots of berries left in the landscape still. It must be a pretty easy year for the wildlife. Well earned after last year’s winter that never ended.

Immune Boost Broth
Sometimes, despite our best efforts to stay healthy and take care of ourselves, life (and cold and flu season!) get in the way. Here is a kitchen witch recipe for immune boosting broth that I just cooked up for myself.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts to stay healthy and take care of ourselves, life (and cold and flu season!) get in the way. It has been busy around here, with holiday fairs every weekend and preparations in between, so it is not a surprise that I’m fighting off the cold that’s making the rounds right now. I say “fighting off” because that is exactly what I plan to do — with the help of a few herbal allies.
Here is a kitchen witch recipe for immune boosting broth that I just cooked up for myself. To make your own immune broth, use whatever you have on hand, in any combination. You don’t need to use all of the ingredients listed below. Any of the ingredients in this broth will support your health.
Some ingredients, including frozen local ginger that stores great in the fridge until you want to use it.
Immune Boost Broth Recipe
2 cups broth (or water)
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 t. fresh ginger, grated (or 1/8 t. dried)
1 t. fresh horseradish, grated (or 1 1/2 t. from the jar)
1/4 t. turmeric powder
pinch of black pepper (to help boost the turmeric)
1 1/2 t. raw apple cider vinegar
1 t. sriracha or chopped hot peppers
1/8 t. salt
1 T fresh parsley, chopped
1 scallion, sliced
1 t. each fresh oregano, thyme, and/or sage (or 1/4 t. dried)
1 T miso paste
Mix all ingredients except the miso paste in a small sauce pan. Heat the broth until steaming, then remove from heat. Stir and allow to sit 5-10 minutes. Remove 2 T of broth and mix with the miso paste in a small bowl. Return warmed miso paste to the sauce pan and mix into the broth. Enjoy while hot.
If you want to store the broth in the fridge for up to a week, wait to add the miso paste until you reheat the broth.
