    I wish you had a book detailing the plants with all the benefits & possible side effects along with what they treat & exactly how to identify them & not get them mixed up as anything else. I also wish it included how to prepare the plant into the form we need to treat each condition, how to use it, & how much to take per weight. Also including how much to use for a child or if it’s not safe for kids. That would be one amazing book & resource. I’d buy it! If we don’t have all the supplies to prepare the plants it’s not going to do us much good. A list of the ones needed & even if you could suggest good reliable sources for any supplies needed. For someone like myself who has adhd I’d prefer one that cuts the fluff & tells me exactly what I need to know.

      However pharmacy's etymological study goes to witchcraft hence all the side effects etc. we witness with a plethora of excused and "statistics" among other doctored info.
      I prefer sticking to how things were originally designed and when someone needs a fix, provide any knowledge I have on the herbs/plants, or solution that'll fix it.

    I live in central Oklahoma. Potawatomi County to be exact and I've not seen any of the plants ever 😢. Really sounds like Horse Mint could be the answer to most of my body problems right now. Especially my food not digesting for a long time. I have been fortunate enough to find mullein growing on my property and i have harvested the leaves and flowers. It's been so dry i feel like it's almost time to harvest the flower stocks for seeds. It's a biannual plant so having seeds for free is important because this plant has worked wonders for respiratory and coughs.

      If there were plants or trees that worked on small pox, it wouldn't have wiped out Native Americans.

      There have been websites that said Sarracenia purpurea the pitcher plant has worked. The one site I saved about a year ago is no longer working.

      Cowpox. Good luck finding that. Contrary to what WHO told people in the 80s there have still been periodic outbreaks of smallpox. They managed to encircle and vaccinate their way out of it each time. I think India was one of the last detected outbreaks. Only the US and now former Soviet Union still held samples of the disease. After 2019 I don't put it past China to weaponize it again. Good joke otherwise.

    Hi, I'm a nurse and a gardener and so I'm very interested in this crossover between worlds. But I suspect the effect you're describing is not antibiotic. There are few, if any at all, things that kill viruses (flu and cold), bacteria, and fungi, due to the wide difference in morphology. I suspect that the benefit is more anti-inflammatory - relaxing your immune responses and giving some relief - and nutritional - providing your body with necessary vitamins and minerals in abundant enough supply to fight the infection.

      I beg to differ with your assumption that only modern/Western medicine pharmacies have anti virals/bacterials. I, too, was in the medical field before retirement. I also have studied Folk Lore/Medicine at the Masters level. At least 50% or more of modern pharmaceuticals prescribed and sold in today's pharmacies began as herbal cures/treatments for ailments that mankind is wont to have. As part of that study, I pursued herbs/foodstuffs that could potentially be used as abortifacients, or more correctly, were available and used as far back as the 16th Century and documented in books of that era. These were found in the larders of "Wise Women" or midwives who were then frequently put on trial for witchcraft or for causing women to miscarry/abort their pregnancies. Many a probably innocent woman who had an herb garden was put to death by priests of the Inquisition, for finding she possessed these herbs. My aim was to see how many of these herbs/foodstuffs were to be found in the local 'hippie' or back-to-earther food market in modern times. Of the 13 I researched, 12 were readily found in those markets, none of which had ANY indication on the packaging or information that indicated their potential use as an abortifacient. The 13th was refined and is used today in L&D as a medicine to make the uterus clamp down on blood vessels to stop excessive bleeding after a birth. It is usually used sparingly as too much also can raise blood pressure to dangerous levels. So, yes, indeed these herbs work.

      IME, spearmint & peppermint spread far & readily via underground runners, hard to contain. But my patches of bee balm have stayed in one spot. Sure, it'll expand its footprint slowly, but not nearly as bad as others.

    I think the mild headache is from the water inhalation like getting water from showering into the brain or water into the brain when swimming. I would just drink the tea. Thank you God bless you Maranatha

      Water cannot enter the brain. Period.
      Ears, sinuses, yes. Otherwise your skull is cracked or a break/tear had occured in your dura. It's a closed system.
