I pray everyone had a really enlightening class last week. The class
we will do this Saturday is based on digestive herbs.
We will tincture turmeric as we have spent all week digging the
roots. It is all organic and we will have some for a fee to take home for a larger quantity of turmeric other than your tincture. Ours is the best as we grow it till the potency goes down to the roots after the frost. Don't be fooled by commercial turmeric as they are not interested in the results as much as the profits. You know this is true.
Our commitment is to make the herbs represent what God intended when he created them. We may not be rich but we receive blessings that I find hard to describe.
The main digestive herb is tag alder. No one else is using this herb
except us yet it was one of the most famous in the early medical
system called eclectic medicine. If you really want to learn herbal
medicine as it is supposed to be then please come to this sat's class
and let us feed you a wonderful veggie meal while you're at it.

Your friend
Darrell

One Ayurvedic physician was visiting us from India. She saw our formulas, and she said it looks like we specialize in soft organs. These of course include the liver, lung, heart and kidneys along with the spleen and pancreas.
One organ we have a really good litany of herbs for is Kidney. Each herb is a little different with many commonalties.

Horsetail grass-Equisetum arvense
My son and the blue boy crew were on the Natchez trace, just outside of natchez searching for Groundsel which I had found there before. Unfortunately somehow it had been destroyed and we were feeling somewhat dejected. Janaka, my son had been studying botany in college. He said that the soil there is alluvial soil meaning it was the result of glacier being there many years before. He said it was the type of soil to find Horsetail. He happened to be tall enough to look over the hill which us short people couldn't see and said stop, stop there it is.
When we got out and went over the hill sure enough there was a full array of horsetail in a creek called colds creek. It is a spring fed creek and is extremely pure and cold. I was beyond happy to find this pure source of horsetail. Usually, one does not share their resources for fear others will deplete them but, in this case, there is miles of beautiful pristine horsetail grass.
So, there is plenty for all.
The properties of horsetail is multifaceted but for sure it is extremely useful in kidney issues. It is useful when there is blood in the urine. Much like groundsel which we will discuss later.
It is a great diuretic in suppression of urine. It helps with that issue all old people face of incontinence of urine, especially in children. It is good in irritation of the bladder. Of course, there are many other uses, but these indicate it is worthy in any kidney issue. Gravel or stones are also an indication for horsetail.
The ashes are good for acidity of the stomach also. So, all in all if you have horsetail, it will combine well with other urinary herbs.
