Good to be here, still on steemit and hive; but much more active here!
Yes comfrey (wound healing), Arnica(pain control), and lavender(for burns); are in all my kits. I'm making the first two, but I do need a still for make it ng the last one.
💗🤠👍🙏
Oh how do you do the arnica? Do you grow it? Arnica tablets for pain work brilliantly, better than conventional anti inflammatory in my opinion..
I make liniment, by soaking the flowers in alcohol. 50% if the flowers are dry, and 70% if fresh, for several months. When it darkens, it's ready; but the longer the flowers soak, the stronger the liniment becomes! I use isopropyl, for external use, because Arnica internally can cause tachycardia; according to the books, and it works well using external applications.
I get my arnica flowers from www.our4corners.net. I've no affiliation with them beyond being a satisfied customer.
Stay safe, and learn something new every day!
Amazing. I think I will have to order some!!
They have lots of herbs, I always buy over $100 worth, to get free shipping.
Herbs are fascinating, and there's always something new to study. 🌿🌿
😆💗👍🌿
I'm in Australia so I have to choose a closer supplier! But yes, I know, there's always something to learn! Same with fungi!
That's sure true, everyday is a new learning experience!
I like down under, and I'm sure there are herb suppliers there! You might even find some seeds....
Fungus is a huge field I'm studying right to now. I plan to look for morel mushrooms soon, since this is the time here; and they are tasty!
I found some turkey tail polypore mushrooms recently, and plan to tincture them for medicine.
You can see why they are called turkey tail, LOL!
Be blessed, and keep on prepping!
💗🤠🌿🙏🍄👍
Amaaazing!!! I've only found tiny ones here but I think they are false turkey tail. I just tinctured some reishi I grew!!! Helps me sleep I found!
I'm going out soon to look for Morello mushrooms. This is the time of year to find them wild, and they taste amazing! There is a lot of medicine in mushrooms!
