Herbs and Natural Remedies...Share & Learn. UPDATE Pgs. 4 & 5: Usnea, Aster, Daisy

If you are making a flower or leaf tincture you only need an 80 proof vodka (so 40% alcohol) and if you're making a tincture from roots you want 100 proof.

Completely fill your jar of herbs/roots and cover in vodka. Seal it tightly...you should put plastic or wax paper between the lid and jar since the vodka may cause some corrosion.

Pretty sure you want to leave a jar to sit for at least a month to 6 weeks...longer is better.

as posters above said also,

Garlic, take clove, chop in half, then quarters, swallow it all with water before bed, EVERYDAY.

Is the simplest thing to ward off soooo many problems,

My botanical plan is the same implemented by as nurse Renne Caisse - Essiac tea.

4 herbs. Sheep sorel, Indian rhubarb root, Slippery elm bark and, primarily, BURDOCK ROOT.

A potent defense. DYOD.

Can charcoal remove metal inside body?

Pure coconut oil- the type you get in a jar, cheap, whiteish and sloopy. Warm it in your hands and work into the scalp for dandruff. Leave it on all day if you can. Completely shifts really nasty dandruff - you may need to repeat. I tried all the usual medicinal stuff until I read about this here on GLP!
Also the best grade Manuka honey for cuts, spots, skin infections, burns etc. Dab a bit on, it dries up spots overnight. Crazy stuff.

I'm not sure if it works on metal. I know Cilantro helps detox heavy metals. There are several others.

What a cute post.

Herbs grow in the wild so the only shortage I see here is your intelligence.

I don't smoke pot and I'd venture a guess that my IQ beats yours by at least 100 points.

Go derail a different thread...not the most harmless and non-confrontational one on GLP.

Coconut oil IS amazing stuff. You can also control Candida by taking spoonfuls of it. The caprylic acid kills yeast.

One thing to keep in mind is that some things, such as Cinnamon, are not going to be available to folks in the northern temperate climate zones once supply chains start breaking down - because it's from the bark of a tropical tree. One that grows way too large to keep in pots in a greenhouse.

We maybe should try to focus on things that can grow from seed or be propagated from cuttings and overwintered in a greenhouse in northern 'temperate' climates (aka cold wx with probably at least some snow & ice during the winter).

The GLP'ers who do live in the tropics will have things they can't grow reliably too, although not as many.

Good Point. I am in the North East and I have some ginger growing in a pot on my porch that will have to be "dealt with" when it gets cold.

I get ground cinnamon in 50# boxes and it can be kept for a long time. I know not everyone can do this but it's a good time to be looking for bulk sources of certain things before we can't.

Just curious - where do you get good quality cinnamon in 50LB boxes from?

Also something to note is that a lot of what is sold as cinnamon isn't really even 'true' (ceylon) cinnamon, it's cassia cinnamon. If it's just a few sprinkles for your oatmeal, it's not a big deal and no need to pay more for true cinnamon. But if you're consuming it in large quantities for medicinal purposes, the cassia kind contains a lot more of a compound called coumarin, which can cause liver damage when exposed to a lot of it over time...

Heal All/Prunella"

Excerpt:


"Prunella Vulgaris is edible and used as a herb. It can be used in salads, soups, stews, or boiled as a pot herb. Heal All has been used as an alternative medicine for centuries on just about every continent in the world, and for just about every ailment known to man, Heal-All is something of a panacea, it does seem to have some herbal uses that are constant..."

Please keep this thread growing.

Speedwell

[link to aromachaitea.com (secure)]

Excerpt:


"This pretty little blue-flowered plant has extraordinary medicinal powers way out of proportion to its size. Speedwell is often used in syrups and elixirs, but mostly it is consumed as tea. Gypsies took speedwell tea as a blood purifier because it can cause sweating, "purify" blood and increase metabolism.

Native Americans used speedwell brew to relieve congestion and asthma. In Russia herbal tea is are traditionally used for the treatment of lung diseases. Modern herbalists still hold that the dried Veronica plant's infusion is useful in remedy coughs, clear sinus congestion, treat problems with the lungs and entire respiratory tract..."

I order it from High Quality Organics. It's not cassia. They sell tons of different spices in large quantities.

This stuff is everywhere! I've been picking it from my lawn.

This is a new one for me. Thanks!

You are welcome!! I have two different types that grow on my lawn... Hungarian and Common.. I get a lot of my Herbs there... my lawn is a cornucopia... heehe..

I think it's time for your Xanax

There are SO many things on a lawn that people never see because they mow so often. If you let it go for a couple of weeks you see all the things that were trying to grow..it's pretty cool.

English Ivy

Oh, yes... there are areas of my lawn that do not get mowed until I get my harvest...

I do know where various herbs grow that come up there every year. Saves double checking them from possible poisonous look alikes... which should be done until one absolutely Knows what they are picking...

Many people have lemon balm growing around their yards and it is excellent for anxiety, stress, insomnia and many other issues.

It is easy to dry and make tea or toss is a jar with some vodka and make an anti stress tincture.

It looks like mint but smells like lemons when you rub the leaves.

A few monthes back at the height of the 'vaccine' frenzy, I went to my local liberal stronghold for grocries,

I got shedded on by the vaxxed patrons, and came down with some symptoms... ankles swelled, no energy, heart racing all the time and feeling weak.

So, I turned to the Hawthorn for relief.

I made up a fresh batch of strong Hawthorn tea, and drank it throuout the day, and did this for about a week.

Immediately, I noticed my swelling started to subside, and it took awhile, but my energy came back, too.

Hawthorn is a well known heart tonic, and is found in every book on herbal remedies.

Not medical advice... just sharing what worked for me.

I am fortunate to live in a northern temperate forest which is loaded with medicinal plants of all types, and I can harvest them fresh off the vine.

God our Father gave his children a Paradise of Nature... all we need to do is utilze His gifts of healing.

Great thread topic, OP, I hope you can keep it going to help out some folks with their ills!

God Bless!!!

Thanks for contributing. So glad to hear that the Hawthorne helped. I was taking Hawthorne capsules since I couldn't find any around me. I should check again though.

Be Well:)

Ginger is one of the BEST things to keep around. Most people can't grow it in their climate but the grocery stores are usually well stocked. Don't buy it if it's from China. Cut it up...boil it and make tea.

Excellent for preventing strokes and other heart issues.

It's really good for loosening mucous and phlegm when you have a cold.

If you have nausea it's incredible for soothing your stomach.

I drink it every day.
