THIS...I have arthritis...bad. Two months ago a read tumeric might help.

Oh my fucking god....I have 90% less pain and inflamation...of my meds for a month....miracle.

Really its that good?

they sell a blend of the most healthy seeds which will help you get and stay healthy.

YES....I am a professional piano player been on meds for 4 years....did little good.

Tried tumeric...Wal mart..6 bucks.

Seriiously...within 4 days I woke up with ziltch pain....gradually came back... so I took 3 capsules a day and by the end of the week it was at least 90% less pain all day due to the inflamation decrease....I kid you NOT!

no one said coffee yet?

Can't live without coffee man!

Willow Bark should be in there somewhere.

for me, hands down, feverfew. it has almost totally stopped my all-too-regular migraine. used to get one every couple of weeks and now maybe every 2-3 months, sometimes longer

i take echinacea too, when necessary. definitely kills 7/10 colds dead in their tracks. and failing that, makes the symptoms much more bearable

When tshtf, legality of plants will not be enforced.

Casual supermarket poppy seeds are the real deal poppies. If you are concerned about them being zapped before sale, get organic poppy seeds at health food store. When sowing them, add an ice cube over each or spread in the snow as it is their natural cycle to be frozen first.

Don't ever grow the stuff unless tshtf, then people will need it for medicine, shade tree surgeries, trade, cough syrup, etc

The sun.

Vitamin D is way better than echinacea. You rarely ever get sick plus it does so much more too.

Not only am I going to copy and print this thread, i'm going to try a few of the arthritic herb med's mentioned, as I'm starting to have a hard time bending down into my gardens.

I have an ample veggie garden, herb garden and just planted apple, cherry and peach trees. Also have rasberries, blueberries and black berries coming up this year (taken three years for them to come on nicely). I also have a green onion and garlic patch.

Isn't the grand maker of all things, the one true God amazing. Isn't it wonderful to get back to nature's good stuff and not get it off the stands in the store?

God is good.

may I ask the mod's to keep this pinned for a few days so we can get lots of suggestions and wisdom from our forum sages on medicanal plants and herbs?

I had to go downstairs and grab the book from my medicinal botany class, "Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy". A few of these may be illegal to grow in your area, but due to their medicinal qualities, they have made the list none the less..

Not in any order and more then 10, but did not go through the time to narrow down (this would have to be done based on need and location) Atropa belladonna, Ephedra sinica, Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort), Papaver somniferum (opium poppy), Echinacea augustifolia, Ginko biloba, Menthae pipitae (peppermint), Panax ginsing, Cannabis sativa, Valerianae radix,(Valerian root), Ginger, Allium sativum (garlic), Thymus vulgaris, Salviae folium (sage), Sambucas nigra (elder flower), Lupuli flos (hops), Malaleucae atheroleum (tea tree), Vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry), Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw), Capsiucm frutescens (chilli pepper), Aloe vera... There are so many more also very useful plants, but there is a good start.

Morning Glory seeds minus the mercuric coating on for planting purposes. Got to let Morning Glory seeds grow to full flower, then get seeds, cause they'll be mercuric coated free.

Better yet some "ergot" off some Rye plants, and purified, and then give extract to all Federal Judges and Federal Prosecutors, so perhaps they wouldn't lie so much and do cases for "Political and Career" Advancements favors for each other.

I still have a Federal Judge and a Federal Prosecutor, that still live a lie from 10-31-1989. And have yet to unbesmirch and unslander me. I guess one thing bad about jewish people, especially the Kapo type jewish people (from USDOJ), they are the most pig headed, stubborn, liar, fabricator, con/fraud people in the World and USA.

There is a lady that swore by rosemary and wrote some medicinal herb books. I can't remember her name now, but I know she had corgi's, if that rings a bell and anyone knows who I mean.

It was used as a sort of birth control.

she had a French name.

and 2

Thankyou so much for the reply, gonna get my mother on this stuff and out the grasp of pharma.

sausage & egg

HAH!! If some guy with a nice green manicured lawn caught you seed-bombing his place with dandelion seeds, you'd have a load of rock-salt to pick out of your butt!!

yes but be careful to read contraindications with any other medicine she's taking, even NSAID's like aspirin. Tumeric is a blood thinner.

Excellent topic, pink cat.

I think a lot of the best stuff grows wild around here, like elderberry and dandelions, but I would add:

garlic
onions
mint
parsley/cilantro
beets
horse radish
oregano
aloe
blueberries (they do grow wild, but not predictably and not immediately around me)
apples

When you have to narrow it down, you realize how many great things there are in nature. I don't think they would grow in Massachusetts, but I love the eastern spices - turmeric, ginger, ginseng - some of the best stuff.

Also, there's a particular plant I can't think of at the moment that's high in Omega 3 oils - maybe someone can remind us???

If I could expand the list, I'd add in sprouts as a good, live food source that I understand has a love of vitamins. And cabbage. LOL, the list is endless!

Oh, I just remembered what the Omega 3 plant was - borage!

did it work right away?
How much are you taking?

And so are you!!! I try not to envy others, but I have to envy your garden - it sounds wonderful!!! We live in a complex and just have a teeny little patch that I try to fill with mainly cooking herbs. Lemon Balm is also one of my favorites, but I don't know how "medicininal" it is - just a lovely plant.

You should track down the first news report detailing clean, manicured lawns free of weeds thanks to artificial pesticides and apply your signature to it.
