Materia Medica The Fever Breaking Tree, Decoction of Dogwood 23

[@russellholdren1]

You said "the bark of the dogwood" I needed that chuckle tonight.

[@SkyKing101010]

Thank you. I never even knew the word decoction existed before this. Excellent instruction.

[@captbizzarro3141]

Really liking this series. I know it's probably too time consuming however, it would have been great to actually see you process the plants you spoke of in this series to show how to make concoctions etc. It's great to get the knowledge and see the entire process as you did in this video and the goldenrod video. It's helpful to show the identification, history, preparation and use of plants or trees for medicinal purposes. Thanks for your time and sharing this great knowledge.

[@LocktownDog]

REALLY enjoying this series.Than you for the insight.

[@KENNETHedwardMitchell]

i love that you mention increasing surface area.i make medicinal mushroom double extractions. and in making meds like these, people often neglect surface area. great series!

[@kencollins7046]

Great vid Dave! I appreciate you covering the "how to" in detail.

[@joecitizen6755]

Just found your videos ... more than excellent work.

[@jamessix60]

Really liking this series of videos. Thanks especially for the preparation vids. helps a lot.

[@adampullen5487]

thanks for sharing your skills with the world. we could live in a better world if we we're more self relent.

[@RustyNail5856]

Great video Dave, thanks for the info.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Thanks Dave, good medicine.

[@joshbabb9909]

You can also use the leafs of the American holly tree for the flu and fever

[@ratroddiesels1981]

i like the cobbler's workbench .

[@patrickivers1999]

Nice video Dave! Very informative

[@RamboGT13]

One book I've read, said the dogwood was used to make quinine...thoughts?

[@wheelman567]

hey Dave have a question can a person take the inner bark of the dogwood and dry it and prepare it. With them in case they need it later.

[@SS-bz4ze]

This is awesome.Im glad I ran into this.

[@wevikings1790]

Great Video Dave.

[@duanebrower7896]

can you keep the bark in raw form to use at a later date

[@lifeiswonderful7986]

Dave, could you carry the inner bark shavings (in your pack for use at some other time) without it losing much of its effectiveness?

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Great video and subject.

[@GodBearOutoors]

Crazy thing I have found is that most all vines grow around the trees in a clockwise fashion.. It makes me wonder if vines in say Australia grow counter clockwise? The "Materia Medica" series is a Great series of videos, VERY informative and useful. ✊

[@fullautorevolver]

Hey Dave I have heard you mention before about drying and storing theses as more of a long term solution. Can all of these plants be dried and stored and keep there properties or just select ones?

[@mangosquirrel117]

if you dried out the wood shavings would they loose their potency or could you store them for later use

[@chuck3438]

my wife is very cold natured. is this something she could use to warm up if clothing, sleeping bag etc doesn't work?

[@jdam1986]

so is ground and dried a good way to keep it until you need to use it?

[@b61982]

how fast would you expect to see results from medicine like this? How soon after your first dose would you say, "the last dose wasn't strong enough, I need to take more,"?

[@TrenchForgeArmory]

How do you know all of this stuff about degree and plants

[@Suckmyjagon]

books and more books

[@sarahs716]

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you share! I have a question. Is there a specific species we should look for.. Or do all dogwood have this diaphretic action? I have a dogwood with white, starlike flowers is why I'm asking :)

[@symplicityjesus]

I thought boiling kills the medicine. And I thought your slowly supposed to heat it up till its super thick

[@Sasquatch-Press]

Love this series Dave. Do you have a book with this info?

[@tonybologna123]

first video in this series

[@booly5]

what knife is that ???

[@CkeckThatYetithe2nd]

he found it at a garage sale for like $3 a long time ago

[@FellsApprentice]

so, because this will raise your core temp, would it be a wise-ish idea to drink it in cold weather to better combat convection? Or would that be the height of idiocy?

[@catfishlarry9095]

would the back of your knife work good for taking off the outer bark?

[@jacobpoucher]

What kind/brand of saw is that?!

[@jacobpoucher]

thanks for the videos. great looking saw.

[@woodswalker64]

Dave, does taking that if you're NOT sick have an adverse effect on the body?

[@canadianrockiesbushcraftal5182]

have you used the Silky Gomboy? of so, how did you like it? I noticed in all your videos you use the Bahco Laplander... awesome videos as always Dave! Thanks!

[@jguitarz1]

Dave,what would be a good plant/tree to use for things such as Asthma and difficulty breathing?

[@chrome_is_gold]
