Whats everyone picking and drinking these days? Whats trendy? Whats useful?
What about making tinctures or extracts? Anyone here been doing these things?
@questforhealth I have been drinking Moringa tea nightly and must admit feeling like it is an overall well being tonic. If I miss a day – next morning I can tell. Overall, I am feeling stronger, more stamina and healthy than 2 months ago.
I also drink chamomile and lemon balm – roasted dandelion and occasionally peppermint. I buy these teas organic from Republic of Tea except the lemon balm organic that I get from Traditional Medicinals.
The Moringa profile is pretty interesting and I remember Haidut mentioning it a couple of times. I said what the heck, let me try. I like it!!

Thats interesting. I drink chamomile sometimes but only if its fresh or it tastes like a cup of hay
I have been drinking sorghum leaf tea and working in the gardening sieving soil and doing lots of work and it makes me very motivated and energetic and possibly helps with my anaemia.
Anyone here been doing stinging nettles?
“The bark of the Cascara tree is also rich in the compound, emodin, which is known to be anti-fungal and anti-microbial. This supports its traditional use for expelling parasites; however it has also been found to be effective against a range of bad bacteria including; Helicobacter pylori, E coli, and several strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It has also demonstrated anti-fungal action against Candida.”

Any idea about herbs for anemia? I’ve been boiling Sorghum leaves and drinking them and they are helping but its early days.
Anti-anaemic potentials of aqueous extract of Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench stem bark in rats
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17306481/
‘Extract administration produced significant increase in haemoglobin, packed cell volume and red blood cells in iron sufficient and iron deficient groups (P < 0.05). There was also significant increase (P < 0.05) in the catalase activity of the rat liver and kidney without any significant change (P > 0.05) in the serum catalase activity. The results revealed that extract administration has restored the anaemic condition in the iron deficient group and thus lend credence to its use in folklore medicine in the management of anaemia.’
@Kevin007 I think highly of rosemary and have been growing it for 10+ years. This past few days I have been having it and feel it is not only helpful in keeping my snacking away, but last night when I had a little trouble falling asleep it knocked me out. I made a pitcher of it the sun tea way and added in the peels of a lemon…
“Rosemary has significant antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-tumorigenic, antinociceptive, and neuroprotective properties. Furthermore, it shows important clinical effects on mood, learning, memory, pain, anxiety, and sleep.”
@Kevin007 “Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, L.) is an herb commonly used as a spice and flavoring agent in food processing. The leaves are a very good source of carnosol, carnosic acid, rosmanol, 7-methyl-epirosmanol, isorosmanol, rosmadial, and caffeic acid, which have substantial in vitro antioxidant activities [7]. Antibacterial effects of rosemary have also been reported [8–10] and linked to their polyphenolic composition. Furthermore, rosemary oil may be used in drug-resistant infections [11]. Rosemary leaves possess a variety of biological activities, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects [12].”
@Kevin007 @questforhealth posted a link in this thread about the benefits of moringa tea and I thought you might find it worth looking into more…
”Moringa contains properties that might help prevent cancer. For example, it containsniazimicin, a compound that suppresses the development of cancer cells.
According to some scientistsTrusted Source, extracts of moringa leaf, bark, and other parts of the plant may have properties that can kill cancer cells. If further research confirms this, they could prove useful in treating breast, liver, colorectal, and other cancers.”
Thats interesting. I think I’m going to experiment with herbs once I get healthy
Might get a field somewhere to start growing sorghum and other stuff… not joking… could be fun? Real herbs with real smell that actually do something would be a blessing…
