For Grey Hair
1) Potatoes: Boil potato peels in water, strain, and cool. Use the strained water as an after-shampoo rinse to darken grey hair
2) Sage covers the grey when used consistently over a period of time. Simmer 1/2 cup dried sage in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes. Steep for 2-3 hours.
Strain, use as rinse on clean hair. Leave on until hair has dried, then rinse out.
3) Mix 1 oz. sage, 1oz. rosemary and 1 pint of water. Simmer for 30 minutes and strain. Massage into the scalp and grey hair.
4) Mix 1 tablespoon of apple-cidar vinegar with one gallon of warm water, use as final rinse.
5) Use an infusion of hollyhock (blue-purple flowers) to remove the yellow cast from grey hair.
6) Use betony as a rinse to cover yellow in grey hair.
For darkening or for Gray hair - Use the water that potatoes have been boiled in for a rinse. Put a handful of Sage, either dried or fresh, into a jug and cover with 1/2 pint of boiling water. Add a teaspoonful of borax and allow to get cold. Dampen a brush in the "tea" and apply to the hair.
How fair is a garden amid the trials and passions of existence.

Rosemary can not only be used for hair care, cooking and baths it can be made into a tea to relieve headaches, minor arthritic pains and joint pain. Steep 1/2 oz dried rosemary to one pint of water for 10 minutes covered. Drink the tea and you should have some relief in about 15-20 minutes.
