you can get quinine from grapefruit peel

.

good to know cuz grapefruit peel is a lot easier to obtain than cinchona bark

Any of you drinkers should start using tonic for mixer.

Only because I don't know ...
Is this the SAME quinine as in hydrocloroxyquine (however you spell it)?? There are different kinds of quinine ... they aren't the same in chemical structure and effects.

banana, and orange peel too

Still no senseo tea in the grocery store /:

Seeds as well, or just peel? Both, I think...

Quinine is also in Canada Dry Tonic Water.

It's old school, but people used to make candied grapefruit peel. They did it with lemons too.

It's also in tonic water, good for leg cramps

The inner bark of the American Sycamore is another source, not as much as cinchona but enough.

Other anti-parasitics are effective too.

I bought 2 ozs (50g) of wormwood (artemisia absinthinum) for $5 CAD at my local health food store. It is really bitter, so then I bought wormood tincture for $15. My Canadian Ranger friend who told me where to buy the tincture makes her own.

In Africa, Iran, and Vietnam they fought the virus with 2 different types of Artemisia. Only South Africa, which followed WHO guidelines experienced Covid mortalities. Madagascar, Ghana, Tanzania, and Burundi told Tedros and the WHO to get stuffed.

Wormwood is considered an invasive species in Canada. It competes with the native species of Artemisia and sage. First Nations people used these plants for smudging but they were too bitter to be used in tea. There is also a tree fungus fruiting body called a "Quinine Conk". It contains no quinine but has similar properties.

No

But if you smoke banana peel

Very mellow

It used to be unusual to get citrus fruit because it was an extravagence to have it most of the country. It pleased people just to get a bag of navel oranges when some relative went to Florida and it was HUGE deal to get big delicious grapefruits.

Cooks would save the "zest" ie the peel by saving it and shaving into slivers with a grater.

Persian people would use zest in their cooking otherwise there were desserts that used that in typical American cooking especially at holiday time. I remember very small spice selection at the grocery and nobody would have bought orange or lemon peel, but saved it.

to follow.

You will have to go thru peoples trash .
Thats the only place i've ever seen it .

It's an old bushcraft trick of limited use where you take an orange peel and it has oils in it which are flammable. So a prepper could use that to start a fire in an emergency.

That volatile oil is called limonene. You might try an experiment with various citrus fruits to see which work.

It you know someone who is convelesing as they are dying and the spouse is overwhelmed, and the home smells bad as their loved one is losing control of their bowels and they cleaning up after them, you get a squirt bottle of orange oil. That will dispel any "sick odors" and their home smells fresh.

You can get LSD from Morning Glory seeds.

A long time ago from the late medieval period to say 1960, people would make orange or other citrus pomanders and hang them up, or put on Christmas trees, but they forgot why.

Way back when, they thought it dispells sickness in the air called ""flux" and other names. They knew people were dirty and unwashed and wealthier people did anything to ward off the flux.

Would be advisable to use organic fruit if using peel, as most fruit is sprayed with pesticides and after harvesting, fungicides, which are concentrated in the peel.

Just sayin’

Probably the close proximity of one's face to the act of puncturing grapefruit skin w cloves, garnered a nasal delight.

Knew someone how tried, need a lot of damn seeds ... boil San Pedro much cleaner.

Amazon

Lemon peels work too
