Just before Christmas 2007 we had our loft insulated with a spray foam system, and I didn’t really expect it to make much difference as previously we had a huge amount of the old fibre glass stuff up there, it was amazing the amount of stuff that they actually took down.

Here are a few easy methods of making your own herbal remedies at home.
Infusions
For use as a medicine or as a relaxing, revitalizing drink, an infusion is the easiest way for you to prepare the more delicate parts of the herb. The most beneficial part of the herb lies chiefly in the volatile oil, which if a lid is not used will disperse into the air. It is advisable to use a teapot, if only making a small quantity place a saucer over the cup you are using.
Herbs which are popular, such as chamomile, are often simply taken for their refreshing taste and up to six cups a day can safely be consumed.
Always check the recommended dosage and quantity of herb to use, as infusions have medicinal actions and could produce unwanted effects at incorrect dosage.
To make the infusion place the herb in the cup or teapot, then add freshly boiled water, allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes and then strain the liquid, if you need to sweeten the infusion use a natural honey product rather than sugar.
