RE: Green Growth in the High Tunnel @mountainjewel | Seed Saving & So Many Plants! (Photo Log)
that's so cool your nana had a calendula cream. can you share the recipe? i'm so interested in hearing about "old" versions of these also modern favs! i hear ya on the witch's garden. a huge heart passion for me and a fulfillment of a long-time dream. cool to know arnica is in every mother's toolkit! i haven't used it too much, but it's my goal to add medicines each year to the homestead and establish these plants so i can build up my apothecary. a couple plants each year adds up! get that whip on Jamie ;) lol <3
Sadly Nana passed about 15 years ago and I never thought to ask her! I was Maybe Mum will know.
Yes we use Arnica especially for toddlers as they are always falling over and walking into things .. it helps with bruises. Paw paw for cuts, burns and scrapes - I quite saved a guy once whose gas bottle exploded inside his live in vehicle. I had a big tub and slathered it on his face and someone gave him a whisky. The guy was shaking in shock. When he went to the hospital in the morning the nurses were gobsmacked and wanted to know what the ointment was, as it had stopped some pretty bad burning. Yay for herbal remedies.
We just harvested our hops... now that's a powerful medicine!! Had the best nights sleep because of it!
wow powerful stories! love it! we finally have some hops on the property- excited to use them as you mentioned above and also get some brews going!!
Hops kombucha is pretty good! Yeah Jamie put a brew on last week. He's get to use our hops though as he just used the tin as we were short on time. That reminds me.. he has to bottle it today!!! Where's that whip....?
