Guest shadow Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Another way of losing your money try it on two different sections and see if there is any great difference
mac1 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 wiley im asking for members own recipe what they like to use,i said mine was nettle
Guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 was it stingy nettle mac gees a pm mac and let us know how you make it
Wiley Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 wiley im asking for members own recipe what they like to use,i said mine was nettle i realised that but i thought you meant concerning herbs and vegetables,not like other addiatives such as honey,glucose and electrolights! Another good additive to tea is the use of chopped onion!
Tony C Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Hmm! Sugar, rightly or wrongly I sweeten the tea for pigeons. The way I see it is birds don't eat fruit till it ripens (sweetens) I take it from this they don't like bitter tastes. Anyway it cant hurt none ;D
Guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 anyone ever heard that sugar yes sugar can be a remedy for salmonella not one hundred per cent sure as to what way it is used but will try and find out ,
edthekid Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 ive herd it stiffens droppings if used for 5 days....................im trying it at the moment.....lol :
Roland Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Blessed Thistle ... Cnicus benedictus - L. Physical Characteristics It is hardy to zone 8. It is in flower from May to September, and the seeds ripen from July to October. The flowers are hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and requires well-drained soil. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It requires dry or moist soil. Edible Uses: Edible Parts: Flowers; Leaves; Root. Edible Uses: Condiment. Young leaves - raw[4, 268]. Flower heads, harvested before the flowers open, have been used as a globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus) substitute[268]. The flower heads are rather small and using them in this way is very fiddly[K]. Root - boiled as a pot herb[268]. The herb is used as a flavouring[105, 183] (the part that is used is not specified). Medicinal Uses Astringent; Bitter; Cholagogue; Contraceptive; Diaphoretic; Diuretic; Emetic; Emmenagogue; Galactogogue; Homeopathy; Stimulant; Stomachic; Tonic; VD. The blessed thistle was widely cultivated in the middle ages, when it was seen as a cure-all for all manner of diseases including the plague[238]. Although less widely used nowadays, it is still seen to have a wide range of applications though it is mainly employed as an ingredient in herbal tonics[268]. The whole plant is astringent, bitter, cholagogue, diaphoretic, diuretic, strongly emetic in large doses, emmenagogue, galactogogue, stimulant, stomachic and tonic[4, 7, 9, 21, 165, 207, 222, 268]. A warm infusion of the plant is said to be one of the most effective means of improving the milk supply of a nursing mother[4]. An infusion of the whole plant has also been used as a contraceptive[213] and is often used in the treatment of liver and gall bladder problems[9]. The plant is also used internally in the treatment of anorexia, poor appetite associated with depression, dyspepsia, flatulent colic etc[238]. The whole plant was infused overnight in cold water and the liquid drunk three times daily in the treatment of VD. Men were required to run after each dose in order to encourage sweating. The treatment often caused nausea and vomiting[213] - excessive doses of the plant cause vomiting[7]. The plant is used externally in the treatment of wounds and ulcers[238]. The plant is harvested in the summer as it comes into flower and is dried for later use[4]. A homeopathic remedy is made from the plant[9]. It is used in the treatment of the liver and gall bladder[9].
