Mother Guru enjoys making things to help make life a little more pleasant. What follows is a list of useful products I invented for myself or my loved ones, which are still in use to this day. I’d be happy to make something for you too, just contact me and we can talk about what you need.
Hairy Hair Spray moisturizes and freshens the skin, relieves itch, repels lice, and adds body to the hair.
Mermaid Tears Seawater Spray was developed for chronic muscle and joint pain.
Dragonfly Pandemic Evader Spray was created in the summer of 2020 when fear of catching COVID-19 led many of us to try anything to make us feel like we were doing something to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Winter Balm is made out of infused Cottonwood buds we collect ourselves. Each spring we have an opportunity to gather more buds, from which to infuse more oil, from which to make more salve. The trees prefer to grow along waterways and the buds are sticky with resin. We had an extrememly dry spring in 2023, so the buds were already dry before they even fell. This year’s batch of winter balm was concocted during the new moon of October 2023.
Recently I was talking with someone who told me that her hands get very dry in winter. I offered some winter balm, but sadly, she is allergic to the poplar tree. Afterwards I went home and created a new winter balm that contains nothing that would irritate her body. It’s called, “CALLA Winter Balm“. It creates a pleasant beeswax film on the surface of your skin which protects your skin from external irritants and allows the skin to recover.
Skal Oil helps with scalp and hair issues that are developing as the dear man matures. My daughter and I like to use it too, it enhances the health of our hair.
Rice water is a well known remedy for hair loss. You can easily make your own.
FANGS Tooth Powder to clean your teeth without a lot of weird chemicals.
Calming Cream a skin cream that will help soothe some people’s eczema and will lull you to sleep at night after you rub it into the skin.
Soothing Ear Oil to drizzle into a sore ear. Lay down with the sore ear on top, drip a few drops of soothing ear oil into the ear, it will tickle as it goes in, try to let it go all the way in. Plug the entrance of the ear with a wadded up tissue, then roll over so the sore ear is on the bottom, and let it drain out. This softens and loosens any wax build up and will help your doctor when they rinse it out later. Do not put cotton swabs into your ears because they don’t help anything very well, and they make things worse for you in there.
Golden Oil that you massage into the painful abdomen during menstrual cramps.
Hero Blend drops was created for Sciatic nerva pain, you massage into your body at the spot from which the pain radiates.
VV Oil is massaged into the skin at the top and at the bottom of the bulging vericose vein to ease the pain a bit.
Anything I’ve already made for myself I’ll be happy to make one for you to try.
Contact MotherGuru if you want to try some of my concoctions or if you would like me to develop something special for you, I love the challenge of helping someone find a bit of relief with a more natural and less modern approach.
A helpful and ever changing list of botanical ingredients that I like to use in my concocting, including how to use them, how they help and cautions.
Disclaimers:
- My creations can offer some relief, but also keep doing whatever your doctor tells you to do.
- Adding them to my life has improved my quality of life, but these are not cures.
- Be watchful for how your body reacts to something new, because what works great for me might cause an unpleasant reaction for your body. Pay attention when your body communicates with you, and stop using it if things happen that you do not like.
- Nothing here is guaranteed, just like in real life. I am just a normal person who is trying to emerge from hard times. I’ve spent my own money to make these things and I don’t get that money back just because someone who paid me to make it for them didn’t like it. So, if you don’t like it, just pass it on to a family member to try. Don’t give it back to me expecting a refund, because no one unrelated to you will be able to use it after you have contaminated it.
- Use at your own risk, but I do hope you will enjoy these things as much as I do.
