    I'm a practicing cancer researcher, (PhD biochem and mol bio, PI on several R01s, significant publication record) and wholly agree with the statements disregarding the cancer risk for sassafras. Everything causes cancer, when you concentrate it and feed huge amounts to model organisms. I'm more concerned about getting cancer from fast food habits than any freshly foraged foodstuffs.

  • @legacy634
    @legacy634 8 месяцев назад +434

    When I was a little girl, my granny (West Virginia mountains all her life...herbal healer) told me that in most cases, the plants and herbs that can irritate you (poison ivy, stinging nettle etc), the "curing" plant or herb grows nearby and sometimes with the plants that cause the irritation. Example, I have stinging nettle in my pasture. Plaintain (which alleviates the burning itch) grows all around it. I wish my granny had lived long enough to teach me more. She was amazing.

      Aw same girl,, and my grandpa got me hooked on sassafras. I think it's why I still love it so much because it reminds me if him. And there's alot on my property. I made some shagbark Hickory Syrup recently, made some plain, infused with cinnamon, some vanilla, and some with sassafras,,the sassafras was a hit with some of my family members, And we were thinking it would make a great pork marinade.

  • @eN-pl4vk
    @eN-pl4vk 9 месяцев назад +59

    Palmate and pinnate leaf vein/rib patterns have helped me identify plants. I learned in high school biology that "palmate" describes the way your fingers spread outward when looking at your open hand, with your wrist representing the base of the leaf. The "pinnate" leaf is patterned like a feather with a central vein down the length of the leaf and multiple lateral veins off that midline vein. That image has stuck in my head for 50 years. Great teachers are never forgotten.

      For me, not that great given I had real gum before I tried it, but not horrible. They did this as kids back in the 20’s and 30’s, so for them, it was probably good. It was pretty neat as a kid watching him cut a square off the tree and having to wait. It does take a little patience, as if you don’t let it dry long enough, it’s too sticky.

    Oh my gosh I just downloaded your handbook and its so important to me - thank you!!! I actually had to order plantain because I could not find it here. I'm hoping to start cutting down some saplings but wanted to make sure I wasn't cutting anything I could use medicinally. The others will become fence posts or arbors. Going to try to plant mullein again this year also. I don't know why, but I've had such a hard time finding info on plants and fungi here. Probably has a lot to do with my dyslexia. Again, thank you so much!

    Dandelions in like Montana and Idaho and Washington, all have similar single taproot, but depending on environment can be really short (usually found in groomed yards), tall and lanky (undisturbed shaded areas) or robust large leaves and tall flower stems. The last growing condition is great for kids and outside play, they can make their play salads due to how safe the plant is. Bitter it is too, except the yellow of the flower, that can be sweet.
