Hello and welcome to Old Ways Gardening and Prepping.🍀 Would like to welcome you each in to our kitchen this evening. Would like to discuss with everyone different herbal mixes to use to help elevate or rid yourself of the dreaded stomach virus.
Norovirus is very contagious and anyone can be infected by it. You may get it from water or food or from a person who was infected with it. You can also get it from touching surfaces that have been contaminated which is the easiest way to catch it. Norovirus causes inflammation in the digestive system mainly in the intestines and the stomach. If you or loved ones have it try to keep everything as clean and sanitized as possible especially the toilet and keep trash bags in the trash cans for easy removal if used to vomit in. Yes small trash cans are very important to keep by you cause you can’t always make it to the bathroom and it’s better to use them than hurling on the floor. Now with the common sense talk let’s talk about herbal remedies to lessen the suffering.
For Nausea and Vomiting
Peppermint
chamomile
ginger
(in teas separately or all combined together)
2 tsp’s per cup of tea or if making a mixture of all 3 herbs only use a tsp of each. Best to sip on as a warm tea add honey.
For Diarrhea Stoppage
Pectin (yes what you use for canning 1 tsp per cup of warm water 3x per day)
Homemade rice powder (1 tsp per cup of warm water 3x per day)
Plantain leaves (the plant not the banana looking one. Made in to a strong tea. A cup 3x per day)
Virus Fighting
Usnea – dried and made in to a tea 2 cups per day
Tulsi/holy basil and fresh/bottled lemon juice mixed together as a tea 3x per day
(2 cups of Tulsi tea and the juice of 1 lemon) add raw honey for natural antibiotic ability
My Stomach Flu Tea
1 cup of cut up fresh plantain leaves
2 cups of Usnea
1 nice piece of ginger
10 cups of purified water
1 TBsp of honey per cup
You also need to stay hydrated as much as possible. If it just comes right out make sure to keep drinking no matter how bad you feel. It doesn’t take long to become dehydrated.

Good Morning.
Hi Teresa. You cannot imagine the joy I felt when you listed the 3 ingredients needed for this. Then the rice. I am very happy that you are so generous with your knowledge. Norovirus is nasty indeed.
My grandchildren haven't been to Ky. school since Dec 19th they were supposed to go back Jan 6th-they haven't made it yet. I dread the bugs that will be going around once school resumes. I have 3 ft. or more of plowed snow in front of my car/yard they only plowed twice in 3wks. but had to bring in other equipment to break up the ice in the bus turn around spot 3 days ago but still no school.I'm in a holler that is within spittin distance of Daniel Boone Nat'l Forest Mountain Ridge holler. I wouldn't care if they didn't plow all winter only 12 homes in a 6milelong by 4mile wide mountaintop range I love it. NTI education (non-traditional they call it, it's great if you can afford the $140mo. land-line &internet phone bill) on Chromebooks. Personally I don't like the amazon donated chromebooks in my home, who knows what they are recording or taking pictures of without our knowledge.
DIARRHEA –Head of Lettuce for replenishing of intestinal lining (I ate oatmeal raisin cookie vanilla ice cream 7mo. pregnant 1st child in 1980 and didn't know I was lactose intolerant -ate the whole 1/2gal :)) and picked up the stomach virus (while working jumping in & out of Fl. Water Company truck 600 times a day reading water&gas meters) I add salt to the plain lettuce plus lettuce is full of water when spewing from both ends water can be the enemy to just drink it hard on the stomach. My Gyno Dr. suggested LETTUCE and it IS POWERFUL IN HEALING. I worked the very day I delivered my baby girl, Dr.Office Delivery my choice she was however 3wks.early just because I was so active at work 5hrs.labor and I showed up at 9am to work and everyone was loving the newborn I took 2months off with payPLANTAIN GREENS ARE EXCELLENT COOKED then ADD BIT OF VINEGAR to it and IT TASTE EXACTLY LIKE SPINACH (never tried when ill)
Diarrhea/Fever/Stomach Virus my go to every time and it works is Head Lettuce Iceberg/Mandarin Oranges (I use canned) sometimes gatorade/saltine crackers / cheapy Popcicles-Fun Pop Brand only and Peppermint Altoids their (grandchildren) symptoms are gone within 12-24hrs. or less NO FAIL ,their appetite increases in just hours once I get even 1-2 sections of mandarin in them and the fever gets shot out of their body. I don't even bother going to the Doc's anymore because most of the "MEDICINES" Side-effects are worse than the illness. If the children begin showing signs of an illness creeping in I KEEP THEM HOME FROM SCHOOL-I DON'T GIVE A HOOT IF THE SCHOOL WANTS A DR'S NOTE (That is only for the schools benefit to GET PAID FOR MY CHILDS SICKDAY yep that's how it works they get DAILY for EACH CHILD $600+ and much more about $800 day if a disability including IEP (individual education plan) which they decide. 600 daily=$100,800 + for each child to go to school 168 days and KNOW NOTHING at the end of their Graduation- all the way up to 12th grad-Nat'l results and my state average has 34% proficiency in READING/WRITING/LANGUAGE ART & 28% proficiency in MATH (simple math) Elementary,Middle & High School–It is plum awful, it is no wonder the children get sick their food is CRAP or CARDBOARD, luckily my grands here rarely get sick in comparison to other households I know. I've watched the youth & parents who took and made their children take the "Covid Shot" CONSTANTLY BE ILL, SEVERE NO MATTER WHAT TYPE BUG-fever or stomach or diarrhea or flu that LAST FOR DAYS WEEKS outside of the normal use to be a few days. Seems like every month there is a household illness in those homes who rec'd the "SHOT"–now that makes me sick that pharmacies got away with poisoning millions/billions worldwide and still doing it.

👍👍😊😊💗💗💕💕
Older CNA here – the hospitals used to use the BRAT diet for any stomach bug – bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. After vomiting, rinse the mouth out (mint tea is great), and nothing by mouth for at least an hour – WAIT on brushing your teeth! The acids will soften your enamel, and you could actually damage it by brushing after vomiting. I remember once when my brother couldn't keep anything down (we had scarletina go through us kids) my mom (RN) gave him saline enemas until it stopped coming back out (it will at first) and hydrated him that way. Chicken soup is good for most any illness. And wash your hands after interacting with your sick patient. Vinegar is just as good as Bleach for wiping down surfaces, but I would bleach the towels/linens – especially after everyone got over it.
Greetings from Louisiana
I know virus is going around everywhere, stay safe
Another Louisiana here!!!!!! Wooohooo!!!!
I use Citricidal grapefruit seed extract. This tastes really bad four drops in juice, it will kill viruses quickly, my kids if they have any sign of tummy issues they go get the drops and take them , also if that’s going around as a preventative. Research it yourself.
How to spell ooznie????
One thing about the transmission of norovirus also is that the alcohol hand sanitizer does NOT kill it. Good old handwashing with soap and water should remove the virus from your hands. Friction and running water does it. This virus is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. Ewww.
A wonderful video ❤ I have usnea tincture I made, but don't have dried usnea. Can I take the tincture instead? Thanks!
I am so grateful for your wisdom . 🙂☕🙂
I honestly needed these recipes several family members have the stomach flu and it is spreading fast.
🤔🤒🤔
My granddaughter Sophia has it and now her mother hopefully her father and sister will not get it and especially the entire family and household . 🤔🤒🤔
My husband and myself have been drinking the (Usnea) tea
each day hopefully it will help.
🤔🙂🤔
Will try the other recipes as well .🤔
And yes when my granddaughter went to the pediatrician he said there is nothing they can do that she has to rest and drink plenty of water and let her system just take care of it . 🤔
My (Yahuah) and (Yahusha) keep you and your family safe.
🙏🙂🙏
