Herbal Medicine Chest In Your Backyard
What could be easier than growing an herb garden with no effort? Of course, you'll have to harvest your weeds, but you would do that anyhow: it is referred to as weeding.
Spring is an in particular fertile time for harvesting your weeds - roots and all - and turning them into medicines. Here then are some suggestions on how to come across, harvest, prepare, and use a baker's dozen (13) of typical weeds that most likely already develop about you.
To make your medicines you will need to have glass jars of many sizes with tight-fitting lids. And at least a pint every of apple cider vinegar (pasteurized), vodka (100 proof is greatest, but 80 proof will do), and pure olive oil (not extra virgin) or good high quality animal fat such as lanolin, lard, or belly fat from a lamb or kid. You will also want a knife, a cutting board, and some rags to mop up spills.
In general, you will fill a jar (of any size) with coarsely-chopped fresh, but dry, plant material. (Do not wash any component of the plant except roots, if you are using them, and be positive to dry those nicely with a towel prior to putting them in your jar.) Then you will fill the jar with your menstruum, that is the vinegar, the oil, or the alcohol. Label properly and let to stand at room temperature, out of the sunlight for at least six weeks just before decanting and using. (See my book Healing Wise for more specific information on producing preparations.)
A field guide is useful for positively identifying your weeds. The one I like most beneficial is: A Guide to the Identification of New Zealand Frequent Weeds in Colour, complied by E. A. Upritchard. (Offered from the New Zealand Weed And Pest Control Society, P.O. Box 1654, Palmerston North) This book even shows you how the weeds look when they are emerging.
Ready? OK! Let's go outside with a plant id guide or skilled herbalist and see what we can acquire.
Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa pastoris) is an annual in the mustard family members. Cut the top half of the plant when it has formed its little heart-shaped "purses" (seed pods) and make a tincture (with alcohol), which you can use to stop bleeding. Midwives and ladies who bleed heavily during their period praise its prompt effectiveness. Gypsies claim it functions on the stomach and lungs as nicely. A dose is 1 dropperful (1ml); which might be repeated up to 4 times a day.
Cleavers (Gallium aparine) is a persistent, sticky plant which grows profusely in abandoned lots and the edges of cultivated land. The entire plant is used to strengthen lymphatic activity. I cut the top two-thirds of every plant though it is in flower (or setting seeds) and use alcohol to make a tincture which relieves tender, swollen breasts, PMS symptoms, and allergic reactions. A dose is 15-25 drops (.five - 1 ml); repeated as required.
Chickweed (Stellaria media) has a lot of utilizes, including delicious salad greens. I cut the whole top of the plant and eat it or use alcohol to make a tincture, which dissolves cysts, tonifies the thyroid, and aids in weight loss. A dose is a dropperful (1 ml), up to three occasions a day.
Daisy (Bellis perennis) is a typical perennial weed of lawns and open locations. Really different from the native daisy (Lagenifera petiolata), the little English daisy is associated to feverfew and has comparable skills. I use the leaves and flowers to make a tincture (with alcohol) or a medicinal vinegar which relieves headaches, muscle pain, and allergy symptoms. A dose is a dropperful of the tincture (1 ml), up to twice a day; or a tablespoon of the vinegar in the morning.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is a persistent perennial of lawns and gardens and 1 of the finest recognized medicinal herbs in the globe. (The native dandelion of New Zealand - Taraxacum magellanicum - is medicinal too.) Those who love a pure green lawn curse the sunny yellow flowers of common dandelion. But those who are prepared to see beauty anyplace (such as children and herbalists) treasure this weed. You can use any component of the dandelion - the root, the leaves, the flowers, even the flower stalk - to make a tincture or medicinal vinegar which strengthens the liver. A dose of 10-20 drops of the tincture (.5-1 ml) relieves gas, heartburn, and indigestion, as nicely as promoting healthy bowel movements. A tablespoon of the vinegar functions nicely, too. Even more importantly, taken prior to meals, dandelion increases the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, thus increasing bio-availability of several nutrients, in particular calcium. The fresh or cooked green leaves are loaded with carotenes, those anti-cancer, anti-heart illness helpers. And the oil of the flowers is an important massage balm for keeping healthy breasts. (There's lots a lot more info on dandelions in Healing Wise.)
Dock, also referred to as yellow dock, curly dock, and broad dock is a perennial plant, which my Native American grandmothers use for "all women's challenges." The Maori call it paewhenua or runa. It is one more plant that disagrees with sheep, specially when the land is overgrazed. I dig the yellow roots of Rumex crispus or R. obtusifolius and tincture them in alcohol to use as an ally when the immune method or the liver wants assist. A dose is 15-25 drops (.5-1 ml). I also harvest the leaves and/or seeds all through the growing season and make a medicinal vinegar, taken a tablespoon at a time, which is utilized to boost blood-levels of iron, decrease menstrual flooding and cramping, and balance hormone levels. If the chopped roots are soaked in oil for six weeks, the resulting ointment is advantageous for keeping the breasts healthy.
Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) and Ragwort (Senecio jacobea) are hardy perennials that have a reputation for poisoning livestock, like their cousin tansy. While not great for sheep, these two Senecios are some of the world's most ancient healing plants, having been found in a grave 60,000 years old. You can use the flowering tops and leaves with your alcohol to make a tincture which acts slowly to tonify the reproductive organs, ease PMS, and cease severe menstrual discomfort. A dose is 5-10 drops (.2-.5 ml) per day, utilised only once a day, but for at least three months. (A bigger dose is used to speed up labor.)
Mallows (Malva neglecta, M. parviflora, M. sylvestres) develop well in neglected gardens and are surprisingly deep-rooted. The flowers, leaves, stalks, seeds, and roots are rich in sticky mucilage which is finest extracted by soaking the fresh plant in cold water overnight or longer or by generating a medicinal vinegar. The starch is extraordinarily soothing internally (easing sore throats, upset tummies, heart burn, irritable bowel, colic, constipation, and food poisoning) and externally (relieving bug bites, burns, sprains, and sore eyes). The leaves, flowers, and bark (specially) of the native Hohere (Hoheria populnea) are employed in precisely the identical way by Maori herbalists.
Plantain, also called ribwort, pig's ear, and the bandaid plant is a prevalent weed of lawns, driveways, parks, and playgrounds. Identify it by the five parallel veins running the length of every leaf. You could possibly discover broad leaf plantain (Plantago key) with wide leaves, or narrow leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata) with lance-thin leaves. Either can be utilised to make a healing poultice or a soothing oil widely regarded as 1 of the most beneficial wound healers about. Not only does plantain boost the speed of healing, it also relieves discomfort, stops bleeding, draws out foreign matter, stops itching, prevents and stops allergic reactions from bee stings, kills bacteria, and reduces swelling.
Attempt a poultice or a generous application of plantain oil or ointment (made by thickening the oil with beeswax) on sprains, cuts, insect bites, rashes, chafed skin, boils, bruises, chapped and cracked lips, rough or sore hands, baby's diaper area, and burns.
To make a fresh plantain poultice: Pick a leaf, chew it nicely and place it on the boo-boo. "Like magic" the pain, itching, and swelling disappear, rapidly! (Yes, you can dry plantain leaves and carry them in your very first aid kit. Chew like you would fresh leaves.)
To make plantain ointment: Choose substantial fresh plantain leaves. Chop coarsely. Fill a clean, dry, glass jar with the chopped leaves. Pour pure olive oil into the leaves, poking about with a chopstick till the jar is entirely full of oil and all air bubbles are released. Cap properly. Spot jar in a small bowl to collect any overflow. Wait six weeks. Then strain oil out of the plant material, squeezing nicely. Measure the oil. Heat it gently, adding one tablespoon of grated beeswax for every liquid ounce of oil. Pour into jars and enable to cool.
St. Joan's/John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) This stunning perennial wildflower may be hated by sheep farmers but herbalists adore it. The flowering tops are harvested right after they start to bloom (traditionally on Solstice, June 21) and ready with alcohol, and with oil, to make two of the most beneficial remedies in my very first aid kit. Tincture of St. Joan's wort not only lends one a sunny disposition, it reliably relieves muscle aches, is a effective anti-viral, and is my 1st-choice therapy for those with shingles, sciatica, backpain, neuralgia, and headaches including migraines. The usual dose is 1 dropperful (1 ml) as regularly as needed. In extreme discomfort from a muscle spasm in my thigh, I employed a dropperful each twenty minutes for two hours, or till the pain totally subsided. St. Joan's wort oil stops cold sores in their tracks and can even relieve genital herpes symptoms. I use it as a sunscreen. Contrary to common belief, St. Joan's wort does not trigger sun sensitivity; it prevents it. It even prevents burns from radiation therapy. Eases sore muscles, too.
Self heal (Prunella vulgaris) This scentless perennial mint is 1 of the fantastic unsung healers of the world. The leaves and flowers contain additional antioxidants - which prevent cancer and heart disease, among other wholesome traits - than any other plant tested. And as part of the mint family members, self heal is imbued with lots of minerals, especially calcium, creating it an specially critical ally for pregnant, nursing, menopausal, and post-menopausal girls. I put self heal leaves in salads in the spring and fall, make a medicinal vinegar with the flowers during the summer, and cook the flowering tops (fresh or dried) in winter soups.
Usnea (Usnea barbata) is that several-stranded grey lichen hanging out of the branches of your apple trees or the Monterey pines planted in the plantation over there or in just about any native tree in areas of the South Island Alps, exactly where it is recognized as angiangi to the Maori. If in doubt of your identification: Pull a strand gently apart with your hands, looking for a white fiber inside the fuzzy grey-green outer coat. To prepare usnea, harvest at any time of the year, being careful not to take too substantially. Usnea grows slowly. Put your harvest in a cooking pan and just cover it with cold water. Boil for about 15-25 minutes, or until the water is orange and lowered by at least half. Pour usnea and water into a jar, filling it to the top with plant material. (Water ought to be no additional than half of the jar.) Add the highest proof alcohol you can get. After 6 weeks this tincture is prepared to work for you as a superb antibacterial, countering infection anyplace in the physique. A dose is a dropperful (1 ml) as frequently as each two hours in acute situations.
Yarrow (Achellia millefolium) This lovely perennial weed is grown in several herb gardens for it has a multitude of uses. Cut the flowering tops (use only white-flowering yarrow) and use your alcohol to make a strongly-scented tincture that you can take internally to stop colds and the flu. (A dose is 10-20 drops, or up to 1 ml). I carry a little spray bottle of yarrow tincture with me when I'm outside and wet my skin each hour or so. A United States Army study showed yarrow tincture to be much more efficient than DEET at repelling ticks, mosquitoes, and sand flies. You can also make a healing ointment with yarrow flower tops and your oil or fat. Yarrow oil is antibacterial, pain-relieving, and extremely useful in healing all kinds of wounds.
