Full disclosure…I’m Sally’s husband and YES I married up ❤️ Sally doesn’t just talk about this stuff. She lives it. She sneaks tinctures of various sorts in my smoothies, soups, teas etc. She claims they help my heart, prostate, immune system. She might be a witch. Maybe she’s poisoning me. But I trust her. I never get sick so there’s that.
Two remarkable things I’ll share here though:
Firstly, she makes a comfrey tincture using the comfrey that grows here. When I cut myself doing various things on our property (a daily occurrence) I use it and like Wolverine the cut heals overnight. Not kidding or exaggerating. Top tip: clean the cut thoroughly prior to putting the comfrey drops on it. It heals so quick while you’re sleeping that it’ll encase any remaining dirt inside the wound.
Second, I did something to my left wrist last week. So painful I could even sleep. Could grasp anything with my fingers. Iced it all the time and took Ibuprofen. Nothing helped. Sally spent hours making one of her potions with stuff from the garden. Dipped a cloth in it. Wrapped my wrist and hand while we watched a movie. Next day it had eased considerably. Second day…totally healed.
Ohhhh how I love this! Maybe my favorite of yours yet. I had never considered herbal medicine to modern medicine in connection with our relationship with God. This is such a beautiful thought. And how true! We do need both to find balance. 💛🌿
A while back I ran across a video on YouTube defending the dandelion. I need to try and find it again but the basic idea was that the dandelion root goes really deep and loosens up the soil and then he followed up the line showing clips of how dandelions had improved the soil and crowded out weeds in his Orchard. The thing about herbal remedies is that all life on Earth utilizes the same molecules and therefore are more likely to interact harmoniously with our own body's natural processes. Starting with harvesting the herbs in their own natural habitat while enjoying the June sunshine and fresh air with bodies, brains and sensory systems built by and for life on this beautiful planet, brings me closer to understanding my Higher Power
