I posted this article 9 months ago but I wanted to repost since it’s a fantastic film that everyone should see because if we don’t do something now you just might not be able to enjoy nutritious food in the years to come.
People are fighting over it, many are dying because of it and without it we are in serious trouble. Yes, good old Dirt, is slowly disappearing, but why should you care?
Take a look at this new film entitled “Dirt The Movie” and decide for your self if you should care about the future of dirt.

Get rid of Rats using Herbs

Just before we continue let me clarify that I am not talking about people here. I really mean rats from the rodent family. 
Because I realize that I have a huge audience with readers from as far as Mauritius, Malawi, Australia, South Africa, India, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom and many more, 154 countries to be exact; I wanted to share a little recipe that I shared with my dear missionary friend Annie for use in the orphanage she runs in Malawi, Africa.
Rats can cause a lot of problems, from the spread of disease to the eating and destroying of food crops, and storage houses. At home about 18 months ago we had a problem with some rats that decided to come from I don’t know where to our back yard. Now, I recognize that our lawn was a little high in the back (my husband was sick at the time and I was on bed-rest, so we had no one to cut the lawn for us). The high lawn for just a few weeks made the environment favorable for rats and snakes and other unwanted guests.
After my husband cut the grass and cleaned the yard these rats and possums were still making their nightly visits to our back yard and driving our dog crazy.
It is then that we broke out some herbs like sage, oregano garlic cayenne pepper and hot chili peppers. We made an infused oil with them and poured the finished oil into a commercial spray bottle. We opted for herbs instead of poison because we have children and a dog. So no one was going to die or be poisoned by using herbs and oil.
We sprayed the lawn, the edges of the house, the patio and all the bases of our plants and trees. After about 1 day we had no more unwanted visitors and funny thing, our mischievous Labrador stopped chewing the plants and making holes. I guess he did not like the smell either. We continued spraying everyday for 3 weeks and have not seen a rat or possum since.
I know that when we lived in other countries, seeing a rat in your home or back yard was a common thing. You would go for a broom and sweep them outside. But now you don’t have to worry about getting the broom, just go for the herbs. If your interested in a step by step ebook on how you can make this oil with herbs please email me at LaChicaOrganica@gmail.com for details.
Many Blessing you. Happy Thanksgiving for those celebrating it today!
A warm hello to all my friends visiting La Chica Organica from around the world:

Mama’s Back to School Health Kit – Be Prepared before School Starts

I wish we still had 3 more months of summer break. Just the thought of early morning traffic, coughing children and flu season really don’t encourage me to want to have the kids start school again.
Let’s face it no matter how clean you are or how well you raise your kids they are likely to get sick from one of their buddies at school. They are also bound to slip and fall and have a bu-bu you’ll need to kiss and make better or have a midnight tummy ache.
But what troubles me more about starting school is that I saw how germs traveled when I was volunteering as a lunch room mom in my children’s school.
Children from kindergarten all the way up through elementary would cough, sneeze and then touch their friends, their food and the food around them. They would rub stuffy noses then scratch their eyes and keep eating.
Hand washing was allowed after lunch but by then the germs had traveled into little ears, eyes and noses where they would eventually cause havoc.
So how can a mom be prepared this upcoming school year for the bumps, bruises, lice, colds, coughs, tummy aches and everything in between?
Make yourself a little Health Kit with things purchased at your local health food store. You can also pre-order a custom-made kit from La Chica Organica by emailing me at LaChicaOrganica@gmail.com for details. Having a health kit comes in handy for last-minute emergencies and trips and it saves time and money.
Here are some items I will have available that you can request for your “Mama’s Back to school Health Kit”. Most of these items are made in La Chica Organica’s herbal lab using Organic herbs and infused oils.
Here are some items available for your custom kit:
- Moms Miraculous Salve™ for cleaned wounds, cuts, sprains, bug bites, stings, sores, diaper rashes, and dry chapped skin. Works well as a mosquito repellent too! This salve contains organic herbs that help draw out infection and reduce inflammation so its uses are endless and a must have for any mommy. We use several tins of this throughout the year.
- Roses to the Rescue Balm™ – for the little girls in your life, but moms dads and brothers will love it too, just don’t tell the boys it’s made with rosesJ This salve has Organic unrefined Shea butter, Rose petals, Chamomile and some other Organic herbs in a base of almond oil with a drop or two of Organic Geranium Oil. It can be used for irritated skin, chapped lips and anywhere in between. I use it to soften rough feet at night after a day at the beach. This balm can also be placed in the fridge and placed on sunburned skin for a healing and cooling effect.
- Herbal Flu & Cold Rescue Balm – for rubbing on nose, chest, back and feet during flu season
- Immunity Boosting Loose Tea for Cold and Flu

- Jar of Organic raw honey for scratchy throats and sweetening tea

- Natural mini cough drops in re-sealable miniature bags for kids to carry in their backpacks and mom inside her purse
- Nasal Spray with Xylitol for flushing out infection causing bacteria
- Small bag of powdered Organic Rose hips for using in smoothies to boost immunity since they have a higher Vitamin C content than citrus fruits.
I will be preparing custom kits in the coming weeks.

Non-Toxic Organic Pest Control – Earth Safe – Family Safe – Pet Safe

Do you have unwanted critters inside or outside of your home? Do ants think they are on a vacation in your kitchen as they make home in your baked pies or left out food items? I know I have dealt with some unwanted pests and have successfully removed them using herbs and safe green alternatives.
Below I have placed a Pest Problem Solver Guide courtesy of Arbico Organics. You will find useful information and also be directed to products you can purchase for your critter issues. Just locate your problem insect from the list below. Searching can be done by insect type, for instance “beetle” and then finding information to control the type you have on that page or a link within it.

Use this guide to learn about pest insects that are damaging plants in your home, garden, greenhouse and farm. Click on a pest category and find out about their biology, description, and suggested methods of control. The best approach is to use an Integrated Pest Management program, where cultural, physical, chemical and biological tools work together to sustain a healthy environment.
For optimum pest control results, it is best to use a combination of these. A good fertility program will also help by increasing plants’ vitality, making them less susceptible to insect pests, weeds and diseases. Use traps to capture and monitor pests, natural insecticides for knock down of large populations of insects, and beneficial insects and organisms to combat developing stages.
