How much sunlight is best for Ashitaba? Like for Zone 10?
@StrictlyMedicinalLLC 9 күн бұрын
This is a perceptive question since ashitaba really is light sensitive in certain ways. In hot and dry southern oregon i always keep my outdoor plants in 40% shade conditions, otherwise they burn up. In maritime exposure zones 8 to 10 they're going to do fine in full sun. Make sure the root zone is moist and dressed with compost. You can get a better feel for the plant by reading "Growing Plant Medicine Vol 1 page 273.

Is alcohol the best solvent for the escin?
@StrictlyMedicinalLLC Ай бұрын
Hey Melissa, thanks for writing. Aescin is both oil- and alcohol-soluble. I recommend reading the horse chestnut monograph in "Making Plant Medicine." This will give you the easiest methods, formulas, dosages and contraindications for the externally applied oil and for the tincture.

I've collected about 60 lbs of these "nuts" so far this fall. I can't wait to really get familiar with how to work with them. I'd like to try to see if I can de-hull them and only work with the nut inside, which would be a lot of work! Plus I wonder if roasting would deactivate the medicinal components? I would love to extract the oil from these nuts . . .
@StrictlyMedicinalLLC Ай бұрын
Making horse chestnut oil is relatively easy. It does not involve removing the endosperm from the testa, which like you say would be an unnecessarily large amount of work. Check the primary reference "Making Plant Medicine."

I purchase from you guys religiously. I just started my own KZbin channel but opted to use my older account. I figure if you were so inclined to look up my email you would be able to see that I am a regular customer and not a bot. L O L I am a huge fan & hope to someday call myself an “herbalist” but I digress. The first year I purchased ephedra sinica seeds I did not follow direction and I tried to grow the seeds in your average home built organic potting soil. I.e. retained lots of moisture and the seeds rotted quickly. This was my fault entirely. This last spring, I received a live specimen of the ephedra Sinica, but did not get good results from her either. She arrived not in a bundle, but a single stem and appeared already too far gone to save, but that does not mean I did not try. I just received a new 10 pack of seeds of ma huang ephedra sinica & I am bound and determined to make this work. I live in zone 6B so I will be starting them indoors under a very strong Samsung diode grow light. I have a half a dozen of these lights. I feel as though one, maybe two of these large grow lights will harness the power of the sun and give me the results I need, but that is not the question I have. Would you please guide me on any tips or tricks on getting my Ten seeds to Germ successfully? I have found some amendments on Amazon necessary to build my own fast draining cactus soil. I found an organic mix of fine pumice, silica sand, maifanitum, & zeolite and plan to add either Coco core or Pete Moss to start my seedlings. I also plan to keep them on a heat mat. Although this may not be necessary because Kansas has yet to hit its first freeze, which is moot because I am starting the seeds indoors. Would you please recommend the best ratio of fast draining amendments to coco core or Pete Moss when starting the seeds? Because of my zone, I plan to keep my ephedra Sinica Bush in a large pot and will not even attempt to put any in the soil of my property, as it is very rich and moist most of the year. I will be doing a bit of a tutorial on my new KZbin channel called Sweet Melissa’s lil Farma. What I have noticed most in my research for growing any ephedra is that there is not much information out there. I believe this is by design. By design from big Pharma, because I do not believe the government wants us to have the ability to medicate ourselves with the already fertile and exuberant gifts bestowed upon us by mother Earth. This of course, is just a newbies opinion. The only research I stumble across is FDA warnings and websites, discouraging home growth of many medicinal herbs and plants, including one of which that is currently still frustratingly illegal in the state of Kansas. Thank you again for doing what you do with your amazing company and I hope for many more years of success for you ! ~Sweet Melissa’s lil Farma

Hi Richo, I wonder if I could ask your advice on something. I’ve heard recently from various sources that the only really useful echinacea is the ‘angustifolia’. This pissed me off a tiny bit as we have been growing purpurea for medicinal purposes...Given that you’re using purpurea here, and you certainly know what you’re doing, are they wrong? I’m interested to hear your thoughts on that, if you have any. Thanks in advance. Big fan of your work btw.
@StrictlyMedicinalLLC 2 ай бұрын
Hello Earth, They are indeed wrong and its fine to use your Echinacea purpurea. There are 9 native species of Echinacea, all of which contain the isobutylamide constituent that is clearly a strong antiinflammatory. This includes Echinacea purpurea and E. angustifolia. I can see why someone would prefer angustifolia--it is quite strong! Regarding purported immune enhancement, scientists and herbalists have been sorely challenged to explain what active constituents really are responsible for this. it is easy to say as a roots herbalist "It's the whole herb that does the work," and this is OK. You can find out a great deal about these plants in "Making Plant Medicine," Growing At-Risk" and "Growing Plant Medicine Vols 1 and 2." There appears to be a connection between the dark coloration inside the roots (melanin) and immune enhancing effect. This is a complex subject better explained in my books. Anyway, Echinacea angustifolia has a lot of the melanin present (responsible for the "wagon wheel" cross section and Echinacea purpurea has a lot of dark coloration distributed throughout the root mass. Bottom line, all of us know, both species. . . work,

Hi, Thanks for getting in touch. The plants are all the same--they make perfect (hermaphroditic) flowers with both male and female parts. The nectar pool is blocked against small bees and accessible to honey and carpenter bees, also hummingbirds. This limits hybridization in the wild. See page 99 of "Growing Plant Medicine Vol 2."

Love comfrey ! I got stung by a brown recluse years ago. My husband chewed on comfrey leaves and we applied the paste on the sting. Healed really well, just a little scar but the necrosis stopped.
@StrictlyMedicinalLLC 4 ай бұрын
This experience illustrates the lesser-known aspect of comfrey's activity--the ability to dissolve necrotic tissue--what herbalists call a discutient--see 8:00 of the above video. I think this activity was understood from early times but lost in the fervor around cell proliferation and the general weakening of trust in herbs that occurred post late 1800's. I personally rediscovered the discutient principle when digging comfrey and finding that the roots had dissolved buried plywood.

I lived on a narrow boat (canal boat), in Britain, continuously cruising 2000 miles of canals and rivers. I came across dozens of healing plants along the towpath. We gathered fresh conkers as they call the Horse Chestnuts in Britain, every Autumn. Spiders love moving aboard boats, especially in Fall when they are moving inside. We found placing fresh conkers anywhere spiders had a habit of hanging out actually repelled them. In France Chestnut wood is used frequently to finish building interiors and it is said that spiders will not inhabit rooms or buildings that have been built with this wood. Horse Chestnut is a remarkable plant with so many beneficial applications.

Does the flavor change after flowering, it seems like the plant gets more fragrant after flowering?
@StrictlyMedicinalLLC 5 ай бұрын
In a way you're right, the characteristic fragrance is greater during flowering, as the plant is emitting essential oils to attract bees. But what is volatalized by the flowers may be lost to the tea. The tea itself is really most effectively composed of the leaves and young flowers of the plant harvested during early flowering stage--that is when the fragrance and taste is best--harvest too late and much of the plant's energy goes into seed formation, at which point the tea made from the plant is not as good.
