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!
There are false turkey tails, but I understand that the underside is not smooth. The real turkey tail is like velvet underneath. It tinctures into a powerful medicine, with heavy scientific support; used to treat cancers!🤢🤮😭😳
I've heard good things about reishi mushrooms, and I'm sure home grown is best! 🍄💗👌🍄
Great job! I will drag out a recipe for my a 'relax and sleep' mix; that works well!
👍🤠💙🙏👌
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!
Turkey tail mushroom 🍄 mushrooms
I went lookimg for Turkey 🦃 tails today but no luck. Found some magic ones which I wisely let be and saffies. Would love to find morels!
The turkey tails I found were all on the NW side of the trees. They seem to like black locust trees, but I'm sure they aren't limited to that species only.
I'd like to hunt for some morels myself, as this is the right time for them!🍄🍄🍄🍄👍
These are safe? They look like it to me, but I'd need to get back in my fungus book to be sure.
