Rebirth Of Herbology There is a great resurgence of interest in herbal knowledge in North America today. Millions of people are now taking plant medicines and there is a significant change of attitude towards natural healing in all areas of the globe. No longer are herbs staying hidden in the native medicine man’s pot or in the satchel of the wise woman or midwife. Herbs are available in all health food stores and are an important part of the armament of many natural health practitioners. Some of the more dramatic, chronic health problems of the day can be more easily dealt with by use of natural substances. The immune system is one area weakened by many pharmaceuticals. By contrast it is strengthened by herbs like echinacea, reishi, etc. Human beings are living organisms designed to draw our nourishment from the plant kingdom. We can’t draw our energy directly from the sun and the inorganic minerals like the plants do. Our bodies are in tune with the energies of plants. Because herbs are alive or have lived they contain vital energy in tune with our bodies’ needs, many subtle elements of healing which man cannot synthesize. In our modern society with advanced technology, we tend to blind ourselves to the time tested healing systems of other cultures. While you read this there are more people around the world using herbs as medicine than any other method! Botanical medicine is still major in Chinese and India’s public medicine. They have a different idea of physiology from the west but their sciences have worked for millions of people for thousands of years- We can’t deny statistics like that unless we want to be tremendously bigoted in our appreciation of thousands of dedicated healers through the centuries. We tend to say “Old Wives Tales” as a form of contempt, but who knows how much is owed to ‘Wise Women’- The king’s herbalist, Robert Burton wrote in 1621, “Many an old wife or country woman doth more good with a few known and common garden herbs than our bombast physicians with all their prodigious, sumptuous, far fetched, rare, conjectural medicines!” They discovered Digitalis, feverfew, motherwort, and brought many herbs to the west. Until recent generations, herbal recipes were included in any good cook-book. In the west, settlers supplemented their own knowledge with the abundant herbal wisdom of the Indians, who believed the healing herbs to be a gift from the Great Spirit. The attitude of many is that herbs were used only when people were unscientific and ignorant but now we have such wonderful drugs and vaccines and serums we don’t need such primitive remedies. Well the true picture is a bit different! ⇒ All drugs have side effects- some usually considered “Harmless” list 30-40 possible different side effects, some very serious. ⇒ Our body is a living organism, not a machine, plants have complementary actions on the body while drugs have only chemical action, they have no life force and therefor cannot impart life force. ⇒ Herbs have virtually no side effects because their actions are in harmony with our body’s. ⇒ With few exceptions, Herbs are non-poisonous. Huge amounts of most herbs could be eaten with no adverse effects, while everyone knows of the terrible effects of overdose on even common drugs. ⇒ Herbs “Normalize” the body. A herb for high blood pressure will not cause low blood pressure if you take more of it, but a drug for high B/P can be fatal if too much is taken. ⇒ Herbs can usually be used along with drugs and can help counteract the side effects of drugs. ⇒ Drugs cause re-bound reactions. One of the common ones is seen with de-congestant nose sprays, when they wear off the nose is more congested than ever. Herbs never do this because their action is in harmony with the body not in opposition to it. One fact that is not commonly known is the complexity of herbs- We think that the drugs created in the laboratory are complex, but no laboratory could begin to produce the complexity of a simple herb! The smell of a rose, for example is made up of over 200 chemical compounds, and the smell of a banana, over 350! Dandelion root contains practically every known vitamin and nutrient and a lot of other things as well. You have heard lately that some herbs are being declared toxic. It pays to look at the real facts in these cases. Toxicity in medicines and herbs is measured by “Therapeutic Index” with the lower the number meaning the more poisonous the substance. Digitoxin, a poisonous drug extracted from herbs rates 0.4. Comfrey rates 150 while common coffee rates 1533! 5-10 times more toxic than comfrey, yet no one snatches it off the shelves. Wormwood is so harmless that one would have to consume 3,000 cups of tea to be harmed, a total impossibility! (Especially if you have ever tasted wormwood) yet the powers that be seek to stop its sale. Methods used to test a substance must be considered in understanding the claims. They use concentrated extracts and feed them to animals at levels no sane person would ever employ. (I sometimes think that if they fail at this, they take a crate of the herb and drop it on a mouse and then say- “Oh yes! We have proved this herb is fatal to animals!”) So when you hear the outcry raised that such and such a herb is ‘dangerous’.-don’t take it too seriously. Remember- all drugs are potentially dangerous! Very few herbs are in the least dangerous. Thousands die each year from penicillin reactions! If natural healers had any herb that did that, we’d all have been shot by now! “Most people in the western world conceive of ‘alternative healing’ as a deviation from the norm. Modern western medicine, by contrast is viewed as the culmination of a long, steady march towards progress and truth. Through a collective relapse of memory, our culture seems to have forgotten that modern western medicine is a relatively recent phenomenon and that most of what is now called “alternative healing,” has been practiced for thousands of years throughout the world. Ironically, the true “alternative” is modern western medicine which represents the greatest deviation in healing the world has ever known.” (Western medicine’s war against the natural world, Marti Kheel, Townsend Letter for Doctors, Jan. 1992) It behooves us to become acquainted with the wonderful world of Herbs and natural laws of health. A whole new world of taste and enjoyment awaits you in the great variety of herbal teas now available- Don’t be shytry some! This course will provide a working knowledge of basic home herbal use adequate for the average person. If you wish to study to become a qualified herbalist we can refer you to excellent courses on request. Remember that the use of herbs is a part of a natural health program. The mere adding of a herb to an unhealthy lifestyle will no doubt help a bit but if one wants to be well- lifestyle changes must occur as well. Don’t waste your time and money seeking a magic potion herb that will cure all your ills while you continue to disregard natures health laws. You will hear about such things, especially when you tell your friends you are learning about herbs- they will tell you this herb, or potion or that will cure it all and will likely want to sell it to you as well. Not every herb is good for every person. It is safer and easier on your pocket book if you begin by learning about the healing properties of common herbs, spices and foods readily available in your house and garden. Read about herbs in herbal books but beware of magazines whose primary purpose is to sell you a product. Some of what they say is no doubt true but they make it seem as if every herb you read about is the last word in health and you have to rush out and buy it and take it. If you took it all you’d have a bushel of pills and caps with each meal! (and you’d be broke) It is good however for a beginner to try many of the simple herbal teas and enjoy their flavors and notice their effects. Some suggested herbs to try Peppermint, spearmint, catnip, chamomile( helps upset tummies and relaxes) Ginger, anise, fennel, dillseed- (great for gas) Alfalfa, clover-top tea- (Nutritious!) Lemon ,hot water and honey with pinch of ginger for colds. Sage tea- for sore throats and mouthwash. Cayenne, ginger, or mustard in a hot foot bath- great for congestion and headaches. Ordinary tea and coffee are not healthful drinks to use regularly and it is good to get some of the great variety of herbal beverage 3 teas and experiment with them to learn your own favorites. Buy a sampler-pack from some of the herb companies so you can try different ones without having to purchase a whole box of it. When you get some you like- use them in place of tea or coffee- Your body will love you for it! You can make a tea out of any dried herb on your kitchen shelf by steeping about 1 teaspoon of dried herb to a cup boiling water for 5-10 minutes then strain. If it is a spice, use just a pinch in the boiling water. Experiment with the herbs you find on your kitchen shelfnotice the different properties of them and the effects. Most herbs commonly used as seasonings have effects on the digestion and that is why they came to be used in foods. To use the herb for medicinal effects the tea is usually made double strength- 2 tsp. per 1 cup boiling water. Remember -if you gather any herbs to dry for use- make sure they are not contaminated with sprays or pollution and make sure you are certain of their identity- If you are not positive- consult a good field guide or ask a botanist. If you pick wild plants- 1st make sure they are not endangered species and don’t pick them all- leave enough there to replenish themselves. Always lable & date your herbs- dried herbs look a lot alike. For your 1st assignment- Try at least 2 different herbal teas.

Understanding Herbal Products- Using and Storing Herbs he Beginning herbology student finds themselves confronted by a confusing array of herbal products in bottles, large and small, boxes, jars, dry, capsules, tea bags and on and on. It is important to have an understanding of the various ways herbs are prepared. DRIED HERBSDried herbs are basic- usually sold out of a large jar by the ounce. They may be chopped up- (Cut and Sifted or c&s) or they may be powdered, whole leaf or berry. For teas, the usual form is cut and sifted, for capsules, powdered herbs are used. Whole leaf or berry can be used in tea but usually has to be chopped or powdered before use. The advantage is that the larger the herb the less quickly it deteriorates in quality. Powdered herbs loose their potency rapidly unless stored with care. (See storage tips) Capsuled herbs or formulas Capsuled herbs and formulas are popular as they are a quick and convenient way to use herbs. There is a great variance in quality in capsuled herbs. Bargain capsules are not always bargains- check size of capsule, expiry date, and percentage of the main herb in a formula. Sometimes you pay the price of an expensive herb when most of what is in the capsule are lesser priced herbs. A ‘compound’ always has a main herb and some others to compliment it. This is OK if it is what you want, but if you want a pure herb make sure the label shows that. Unfortunately, picking the highest price doesn’t guarantee best quality, investigating various herb companies often is the only way to learn- It pays to ask the health or herb store owner which product he feels is giving the best quality for the best price. Capsules are a useful way to take bitter, very potent, or unpleasant herbs like cayenne, goldenseal, wormwood, garlic, etc. But are not the best for absorption of milder herbs. With herbs like red clover, alfalfa, peppermint, you get very little active properties in a capsule. Teas This is a wide field- tea bags are handy and great for beverages. Bagged medicinal formulas tend to be quite mild. Loose tea medicinal formulas tend to be stronger in action and give you control to vary the amount of herbs you use in your tea. Then there is tea cubes- a herbal extract in glucose or lactose- these are beverage mostly as the active principle of the herb is minimal. Some medicinal herbal teas come in glass ampoules which you break and pour the liquid into your hot water- These are excellent and are quite potent. Syrups Usually for cough or cold formulas- they are good, but should not contain sugar. Liquid extracts Medicinal or nutritious herbs in liquid extract- usually can be taken straight or mixed with warm water. Tincture or fluid extractHerbs extracted in alcohol and used by the drop . These are very concentrated herbal extracts. When buying you need to know the percentage of the active ingredients- some are mostly alcohol. It is best to drop them into boiling water and let sit for a few minutes so the alcohol will evaporate, leaving the herb. Homeopathic herbs and tincturesHomeopathy is another branch of natural healing the study of which is outside the scope of this course. Sufficient to know is that they are very dilute forms of herbs and not herbal extracts in the true sense. Pills, Another way to take herbs- alternative to capsules. Common in Chinese herbal preparations. Dried herbs and powders should be stored in jars with tight fitting lids, away from light. Dark bottles are good but clear is OK if they are not exposed to light. I use wide-mouth 2 liter sealers and keep them in their boxes setting the boxes on the side so I can easily access the jars. Protected from light, heat, air, and moisture, dried herbs can keep good for years. If you go into a herb store that has pale looking herbs in clear bottles exposed to light- The potency will be poor. Syrups, decoctions, liquids and oils are best refrigerated. Alcohol tinctures and extracts are stable indefinitely if not in bright light or heat. To make teas, infusions and such, avoid using metal pots, especially aluminum!! Glass, ceramic, pottery or enamel are best. Always label your herbs and products you make, and it is good to date them also. You might be sure you will remember, but months later many extracts, herbs or whatnot might be unidentifiable. Write down formulas you make or find in books carefully, again don’t trust to memory that you will remember how to make it again. When drying herbs that you grow or gather, do not bottle them until you are certain they are free of moisture, sometimes stems stay moist and when bottled will cause the herbs to mold. Musty or moldy smelling herbs must be discarded as unsafe. Again I stress- Labels! The withered up, dried herb is not so easy to recognize as when you picked it! Making it Yourself‘Teas’ (Infusion or Decoction) This is perhaps the best known way of using herbs- More often though for a beverage rather than a medicine. The cut and sifted form of herbs is best for teas as they can be strained easily. Beverage dose is 1/4 oz. (1tsp.) herbs to 1 cup boiling water- Medicinal dose is 1 oz. dried or 1 1/2-2 oz. if fresh about 3-4 times stronger. Use distilled or filtered water if at all possible. InfusionThis is for delicate flowers and leaves with volatile oils in them. Steep 1 oz. In 1 pint boiling water in a tightly covered container to retain the delicate oils. The herbs are not boiled at all only steeped for 10-20 minutes. SunTeaPlace the herbs in water (distilled) in a tightly covered glass jar and place in the sun for a few hours. DecoctionThis method is used for heavier herbs such as coarse leaves, stems, barks, and roots. Simmer 1 oz. herbs in about 5 cups water for about 1 hour or until the volume is down 1-2 cups. With coarser herbs that contain volatile oils, you should gently simmer them in a covered pot in less water. If a formula contains both delicate and coarser herbs you can do each separately then combine them after straining, or add the delicate herbs just as the decoction is finished simmering. Either decoctions or infusions can be made in large batches and kept refrigerated in a tightly closed bottle for later use. They should be rewarmed but not reboiled. They will keep only about a week. Other uses for Infusions or Decoctions Compress or fomentationMake a strong herbal tea, soak a cloth or towel in it. Wring it out and apply it to the affected area as hot as can be tolerated. (don’t burn the patient!) Cover with a dry cloth or towel and place a heating pad or hot water bottle on top to keep warm. Cover with plastic if it is to be left on overnight. Use this for ailments like swellings, Points to keep in mind when making herbal formulas1- You are making a medicine with powerful herbs so use them with conscientiousness and respect. 2- Become familiar with each herb and its properties. You can do more by knowing a few herbs well, than many superficially. 3- Be sure of the identity of your herb especially if picking fresh. 4- Learn the uses and contraindications of each herb. 5- Be aware what herb part and form the herb should be used in. 6- Have all containers, strainers, filter cloths, and such scrupulously clean. 7- To sweeten herb teas use honey not sugar. Capsules Gelatin capsules come in two common sizes “0” and “00” the double 00 is twice as large as the 0. It is best to use powdered herbs to put in capsules. Usually only very bitter or strong herbs and very potent herbs are used this way as milder herbs would require too many capsules to be an effective dose. The usual dose of capsuled herbs is 2 caps 2-3 times daily. If you don’t have powdered herbs you can grind them in a coffee grinder, spice grinder, or Vita Mix. To fill the capsules, blend the herbs to be used well, and place in a bowl. Separate the two parts of the capsule and push each into the herbs until full and firmly packed then carefully put the parts together again. With practice you will get fast at it. Be sure to label bottles of capsules carefully as they all look alike . With a little care and knowhow You can make at home almost anything sold in the herb store! pains, colds and flus, and to stimulate circulation. Ginger CompressStimulates circulation, relieves pain, restores warmth to cold joints, shrinks tumors and benefits internal organs. Method- Grate 2 oz. fresh ginger into 1 pint of hot (not boiling ) water. When the water turns yellow, it is ready to soak the towel. Have 2 towels and when the first cools, apply a hot one- keep this up until skin is nice and ruddy. Other herbs good for fomentations or compresses are- Cayenne, cumin, mustard, anise. Powdered ginger can be used but fresh is better. Herbal BathsFor a herbal bath, make up 1-2 quarts strong tea and add to the tub of water then soak 20 minutes to 1/2 hour Herbs to use- chamomile, comfrey, dandelion, mint, orange or lemon rind, lemon grass, kelp tea, elder, rose, lavender, For nerves and relaxing- Rosemary, valerian, chamomile, catnip. Foot soaks Use tea of ginger, mustard, cayenne, or anise. Great for chills colds, congestion and headaches. Making it YourselfLINIMENTS- Liniments are warming herbal extracts, usually make from alcohol, vinegar or oil, that are rubbed into the skin.. Oils of aromatic herbs are generally used as they penetrate well into the muscles. They increase warmth and circulation to the area and promote relaxation, pain relief, and healing. Uses- sore muscles, strains, arthritis, sprains, bruises, itchy skin, insect bites or frostbite. Basic formula- place 4 oz. dried herbs or 8 oz. fresh, bruised herbs in a container and add 1 pint of oil, alcohol or vinegar. Allow to extract for 14 days, (less for powdered herbs.) in a warm place- Shake the container twice daily. When done strain, then strain again through cloth or coffee filter. Essential oils can be added to a liniment to act as stimulants, carminatives, and aromatics. Use caution, some of them will cause blisters if much is used and others are not for internal use. Avoid rubbing them near the eyes. Some possible oils to use are bay, birch, cajeput, cinnamon, clove, camphor, cayenne, eucalyptus, ginger, peppermint, sage, rosemary, thyme, wintergreen, mustard, or turpentine. Bases for liniments- Vinegar is a natural preservative that may be used directly or diluted to half and half with water. Alcohol is also a natural preservative- if the preparation is to be used internally at all, use pure grain alcohol, available from liquor store. If to be used only externally you can use rubbing alcohol. (Label external only!) Oils are used to make a preparation for massage. Olive, sesame or almond oils are good bases. To preserve the oil preparations add small amount benzoin extract or 400 IU Vitamin E per cup. Herbs good for liniments include- cumin, oregano, chaparral, wormwood, cayenne, ginger, bay, sage, lobelia, bayberry, myrrh, marjoram, thyme,and comfrey root. All purpose liniment- by Michael Tierra Goldenseal - 1 part Myrrh gum - 2 parts Cayenne - 1/2 part Mix herbs together in apple cider vinegar (3 1/2 oz. herbs per quart of vinegar) cover tightly. Shake mixture each day for 7 days then strain. Kung-fu Medicine- by Michael Tierra Was used for injuries sustained in martial arts and is good for bruises, sprains and strains. Angelica root- 6 parts (warming, relieves pain, dissolves clots) Comfrey root- 6 parts (healing, soothing) Cinnamon bark- 4 parts (warming stimulates circulation) Valerian root- 4 parts ( nervine, relieves pain) Hyssop- 3 parts (helps break up blood congestion) Safflower petals and calendula- 3 parts each- (warming, soothing, healing) Place 4 oz of herbs to 1 pint of alcohol- ( if the herbs soak up too much alcohol add more until they are covered by at least 2 inches) Keep in warm place and shake twice daily for 2 weeks then strain and bottle for use. Oils - Oils containing concentrated extracts of herbs are useful for massaging the whole body or specific areas needing treatment. There are two main types of oils, soothing and healing, or warming and stimulating. Here are some ways to make themFor a general massage oil take almond, apricot kernel, olive or sesame oil base and add a few drops of essential oils- such as lemon, mint, rose, orange , lavender or such. For therapeutic use you can add a few drops of cinnamon, clove, wintergreen, peppermint, ginger, turpentine, or cajeput to name a few. To extract herbs in oil, place herbs in jar and cover with oil. Leave in warm place. (the sun is good) for 14 days. ( less if powdered herbs are used) Shake jar daily. Then strain out the herbs and bottle- add 1/4 teaspoon benzoin per cup of oil to act as preservative. A quick way to make oil is to gently heat the oil and herbs in a pan for at least 1 hour, then strain and bottle the oil. Or add alcohol extract (Tincture) of a herb to the oil and apply gentle heat to evaporate the alcohol. As before use benzoin or Vit. E for preservative. Another method is put 1 part herbs- 4 parts oil and 16 parts water. Gently heat together until the water is evaporated, then strain and bottle. SAMPLE FORMULASARTHRITIC OIL2 cups olive oil 1 T Camphor oil 1 T peppermint oil 1 T clove oil 1 tsp. Rosemary oil 1 tsp. eucalyptus oil 1 T fresh ginger juice Mix and shake well. COMFREY OILUse fresh root and leaves if possible, but dried can be used. Soak 1 cup fresh plant to 3 cups olive oil. or 1/3 cup dried root and leaves to 3 cups oil. Simmer gently for 2-3 hours. Let stand overnight and simmer again for 15 minutes, strain, add benzoin or Vit. E and bottle. This oil makes a great healing salve!

For treatment of itching and rashes, also good for sunburn. Making it Yourself-2 TINCTURES AND ALCOHOL EXTRACTSTinctures and alcohol extracts are useful and popular ways to work with herbs. Herbalists measure the amounts of the various herbs in the formula they are working with, combine them in a dropper bottle and the client will use the preparation by putting a few drops into a hot drink. It is convenient and many people prefer it. If alcohol is a concern, putting the drops into a cup of boiling hot water and leaving it stand for a few minutes will remove most of the alcohol by evaporation leaving only the herbal essence. Commercially sold extracts are fairly consistent in concentration and usually will indicate on the bottle how strong they are. Alcohol extracts require no special storage except to protect from light and will keep indefinitely. This is a good way for a beginner to stock a selection of herbs without worrying about them deteriorating. When you make your own extracts, they may vary in strength depending on the quality and freshness of the herbs you use. Making tincturesTo make a tincture combine 4 oz of cut or powdered herbs with 1 pint grain alcohol. (buy it from the liquor store, you don’t have to use vodka or such as they are more expensive, just ask for plain alcohol.) You may have to add more alcohol to the herbs if they soak it all up. If the herbs are powdered they will be extracted in 3-4 days if chopped, up to 2 weeks. The extract can then be strained and the tincture bottled. A coffee filter will help to get the final powder out of your tincture. Label and date all products! Lobelia is one herb that can be extracted well in vinegar, but most do best in alcohol as it generally will extract all important ingredients from a herb. Sample tincture formulasValerian tincture A pain killer and nervine. Can be rubbed on baby’s gums for teething , or a few drops to calm baby. Also good as an antispasmodic and relaxant for children and adults, who would use 1-2 tsp. in a hot drink. Use 4 oz powdered valerian root to 1 pint alcohol or vinegar. Antibiotic tincture Use 1 part fresh garlic 1 part fresh nasturtium, whole plant 1/4 part Dried, powdered Echinacea root Extract in alcohol or vinegar. use for colds, flues and infections. I have used a mixture of 1 cup cheap port wine, 1 cup cider vinegar and 1/2 cup grain alcohol to extract tinctures. It is less expensive than pure grain alcohol and gives good results in most formulas. Anti-Spasmodic tincture For cramps, asthma attacks, angina, panic attacks 2 parts lobelia or 1 part lobelia seed 1 part valerian root 1/2 part skullcap 1/2 part ladies slipper root 1/4 part ginger powder 1/4 part cayenne 1/2 part myrrh 1/2 part black cohosh Use 4 oz herb mixture to 1 pint alcohol mixture or plain alcohol. Use 10 drops as needed or 3-4 times daily . Anti-Cramp Tincture1 part each- Cramp-bark Squaw-vine Tang-kwei (dong quoi) ginger Poria (fu-ling) red raspberry leaf Yarrow Motherwort Extract as above and use 10 drops 3-4 times daily for relief of menstrual cramps. Many ladies find it useful to start taking this formula a few days before period is due. SYRUPS Formulas can also be made by buying the alcohol extracts already made and combining them in the proper proportions for your formula. BASIC SYRUP METHOD Good for cough syrups and children's formulas. To make a syrup, add about 2 oz. of herb to 1 quart of water and gently boil down to one pint. Strain and when still warm add 1-2 oz honey and/or glycerin. You can add a little Irish moss powder to thicken or gel a medicine but use only 1/2 -1 tsp. as a little thickens a lot. Syrups will keep several months in a cool place in air-tight container. Cough syrup herbs include- Wild cherry bark, licorice, thyme, anise seed, fennel seed, Irish moss, small amounts of lobelia (for spasmodic coughing) Also used are angelica root, coltsfoot, horehound, elecampane root, lemon balm, rosehips, slippery elm, sage, yerba santé, and mullein. 1/2 to 1 tsp. of syrup usually is dosage- 4-6 times daily or as needed. Children's calming syrup 40 gms lemon balm 30 gms hops 30 gms passion flower Make up as syrup or as a tea and add honey. dosage 1/2-1 tsp. syrup as needed or 1-2 oz tea. VALERIAN TINCTUREOne of the most useful herbal preparations to either buy or make is valerian tincture. It can be used to calm nervous people of any age and although it relaxes it in no way causes dopiness or confusion. It also has a good effect on palpitations and angina pains and is useful for insomnia due to being ‘keyed up’. Inhalation therapy Essential oils such as eucalyptus, pine, peppermint, and camphor can be used in a vaporizer to help with children's or infant’s colds. Herbs can also be simmered in an open pan or potpourri cooker to produce medicated vapors to soothe and relieve stuffiness. Eucalyptus is ideal also German chamomile, or lemon balm. GARLIC SYRUP Place 1 lb. of peeled, minced garlic cloves in a wide-mouthed two quart jar. Almost fill it with apple cider vinegar and distilled water 1/2 and 1/2. Cover and leave in warm place 4 days shaking it twice daily. Add 1 cup vegetable glycerin and let stand another day. Strain, and with pressure, filter the mixture through muslin or cheese cloth. Add 1 cup honey and mix thoroughly. Store in a cool place. Use 1 T. three times daily before mealsfor coughs, colds, flues, heart weakness or blood pressure problems. If you find it too strong, take with some warm water as a tea Making it Yourself-3 POULTICE Poultices are an old-fashioned but very effective form of treatment. They consist of a mashed up paste of some sort of herb or vegetable material, spread on a cloth and applied to an area of the body externally, usually hot. The herbs or vegetable matter can be mixed with hot water, apple cider vinegar, herbal teas, liniments or tinctures. Their purpose is to draw away toxins or foreign material and to stimulate healing and circulation. Conditions that respond well to poultices are, venomous bites and stings, boils and eruptions, abscesses and blood poisoning, inflammation and pain. Area to be covered is usually washed with 3% Hydrogen peroxide, a thin coating of olive oil applied to the skin and then the hot poultice placed over area and cloth or bandage used to hold it in place. A source of heat such as a hot water bottle or heating pad may be used on top to keep the poultice hot. It is usually best hot but don’t burn the skin! Poultices covered with plastic and flannel cloth can be pinned or taped in place and left on overnight. Note that some poultices can stain clothing so take precautions. Don’t reheat and reuse any poultice that has been used on any infected area. Herbal extracts, strong teas, or tinctures can be added to a base of cornmeal, flour, slippery elm, or Irish moss powder to make a paste and used as a poultice.

CHARCOAL Charcoal has an amazing absorptive ability (the ability to pull into itself toxins and poisons) The carbon hungrily unites with other substances. Poisons, gases, chemicals, toxins,bee stings,- all can be absorbed by charcoal. Charcoal isn’t really a herb but in a way it is . It is extremely effective and useful substance! CHARCOAL POULTICE Mix equal parts of powdered activated charcoal with ground flax meal. Add enough hot water to make a paste and spread on cloth and apply hot to affected area. Cover with wool or flannel , plastic and a hot water bottle. Uses: Apply to bee stings or bites, infected areas and inflamed areas. Can be applied to abdomen in the case of diarrhea or dysentery and over the liver or gallbladder in inflammatory states of these organs. PRECAUTIONS Charcoal stains clothing so be careful when working with it. It will tattoo skin if applied directly on a open wound so have layer of cloth or gauze under it. Be sure and get your activated charcoal from a health product supplier not charcoal briquettes as they contain chemicals INTERNAL USE OF CHARCOAL: In case of stomach or intestinal distress or food poisoning take 5 charcoal tablets with glass of water. Chewing them speeds action. Capsules can be taken also. Take 2-3 times daily until well. Charcoal can be mixed with olive oil and taken a tbs. 3-4 times daily. For gas and chronic indigestion, mix powdered charcoal, 1 tbs. in 2 quarts water, let stand and drink the water off the top. Skin ulcers can be cleansed with Hydrogen peroxide, then dressed with charcoal paste inside moist gauze. Cover with cloth and tape in place. (use non-allergic tape) Change dressing twice daily. This speeds healing in cases of slow healing sores and ulcers. Don’t apply paste directly to sores or fresh wounds, because it can cause a tattooing effect on the skin, have layer of gauze between. Charcoal can be used on crush injuries and bruises, alone or when mixed with smartweed powder or pulp. Charcoal can be placed in a piece of cloth and tied up as a bag, dipped in warm or cold water and placed over an inflamed eye, with the eye closed. It works like a charm! Charcoal also deodorizes effectively in the case of odorous wounds or sores by absorbing toxins. “Always study and teach the use of the simplest remedies; and the special blessing of the Lord may be expected to follow the use of these means which are within the reach of the common people.” White SOURCES OF MEDICAL CHARCOAL You can usually get it in a health food store in capsules or tablets.

It also seems to have a beneficial effect on the genitals and is helpful in prostate disease conditions. Ginseng USES- This is one of the best known of the oriental herbs and is used as a general tonic to the whole system. Traditionally, however, ginseng was primarily used by men, especially the red variety, while women used Dong Kwae . It is known as an aphrodisiac. It promotes longevity and is beneficial for almost any condition. Persons with conditions of high blood pressure and high-strung aggressive personalities are better to use the Canadian or American variety of ginseng as it is more cooling than the red. Ginseng should never be taken while a person has an active infection, cold, or flu as it seems to increase the power of the disease. Ginseng root has a top that can be broken off- it is where the leaves were attached, and it is said by Chinese masters to be an antidote for the root itself, so they break it off and keep it and if the person comes down with a cold or such after taking ginseng, they make a tea of this top and take it to neutralize the ginseng's effect. So unless you wish to neutralize the roots effect, break off these little tops before decocting your root. The best way to use ginseng is to buy a root and then decoct it in a special ginseng cooker available in any China town or oriental store. If you can’t acquire one of these, use a slow cooker, with a pottery pot, and leave it on low over night, covered, with your root broken up and steeping in about 1 quart of distilled water. In the morning, bottle the mixture, leaving the root in it, and take about 1/4 cup of the decoction per day added to hot water. You will find that most western herbal authorities declare ginseng to be a cure all for everyone with not possible side effects- The Chinese herbal masters, however do not agree with this- “Ginseng will cure some and can kill some” is what they say and so I feel caution should be the rule in believing much of the claims of western herbalists about ginseng. If in doubt, use the white American or Canadian variety as it is better tolerated. Sarsaparilla USES- The roots are used in steroid chemistry as they yield sarsapogenin, which is related to progesterone and is used in its synthesis.
