A few weeks ago I made Stinging Nettle pesto and garnished with Dandelion flowers petals and daisies. There’s another yellow flower on it but can’t remember what it was!

Pesto:

Stinging Nettles

Garlic cloves

Walnuts

Olive oil

Lemon

Salt

Much less discomfort today. Still have an ongoing (low grade fever?) all week causing me to feel cold. Napped much of yesterday. I’m not usually a napper.

Sound like a normal healing process as opposed to cause for concern?

Late for Horsetail already? I harvest mine when they are just opening, and before the growth is straight out from the stem. They’re all already huge here. Maybe all stages good?

I make a decoction with Nettles and Horsetail for a hair rinse. Add some ACV before using. For beards too? 😆

[Sarah Rivkin]

Just chopping them in the processor, blender, etc. removes the sting. I add them fresh when making guacamole in the mini processor too.

Thanks Kev! Cool thread. Will be adding contributions. 🌿🌿🌿🌿

I’d be interested in visiting. Maybe even as a stop on route to Music & Sky.

I often peter out driving between Salem and Roseburg depending on traffic on the way from Seattle. 🌿

LOL Does this qualify as “gangsta” wild foraging? Devil’s Club no less. The Gangsta herb for sure!

After stripping the bark for medicine, I make these gangsta protection wands wrapping the spikey tip on each.

I have a graphic design background too and have several t-shirt designs. I can’t figure out the business part at all. The online drop shipping platforms are frustrating for several reasons. How many samples needed to order to see the right quality and fit. Extremely low cut for designers. And where to actually sell them. Not Etsy. 😕

So I gave up on that venture. 😕

I need a business manager to help with all my creative talents. 😬

It’s all over here too. I’ve been wanting to try making this extract. Have only 120 proof alcohol though. Also what temperature do you dehydrate it at? And what would the dose be as extract, or if made into a tincture? What about using a slow cooker for it? 🌿

Hi David,

Seems most has possibly been healed. Blister gone. Low grade fever chills and a couple days of fatigue gone. Pain gone. Some discomfort still chewing some things, especially like a raspberry seed getting there. No discomfort biting down. The dentist did buff more down on the filling there, which I suspect caused the whole problem (?). He says infection will return and I should have the tooth (#31) extracted. I am intent on keeping the tooth if possible and safe. From your experience is it possible the tooth is healing and will continue to do so following my protocol? Or as some say, once there’s an abscess, the tooth is dead? I never had the bad breath and taste as said is common. Never extreme sharp unbearable pain as can be typical. Used Kratom a few times at its worst. Any advice and suggestions? Still have it evaluated by an oral surgeon? Cone beam scan?

Thanks! ?

[Sarah Rivkin]

Thanks Krista!

I have been including some of those. Including adding some urine to morning oil pulling. ? Seems I’m on top of it. Abscess is gone. No pain, even none biting down now. Barely any more discomfort chewing. Still following protocol including many suggestions received in the replies here. ?

Thanks Sheri! I’ll check that out. Vagus nerve makes sense as a contributing factor. I can have an attack when stressed too.

Hi Barre

Will the Illumined Digest help with GERD? I have had non acidic, non heartburn reflux since menopause (16 years!?). It’s that feeling of regurgitation making me want to clear my throat, and sometimes cough. I can have a bout regardless of what I eat, don’t eat, when I eat, fast, etc.. If I just partly recline it starts up. Lying down of course. I can sip a bit of water driving and it starts up. Usually about an hour after eating. Not usually at night though, even after a somewhat late meal or snack. I have several remedies for symptoms that work- baking soda in water, fennel seeds, fennel essential oil in the bs water, or carb. veg.. sometimes I can breathe and flex the area to calm it. But NOTHING heals it. It’s torturous for me. ?

Thanks!

Thanks Kelly!

I’m familiar with muscle testing and dowsing but feel I never got the hang of it very well. I have been taking Cell Salt combo and Hypericum, and Belladonna when I needed it. I do have Hepar Sulph. Calc. so adding that. I have Calc. Phos. but not Calc. Sulph, nor any of the others. But overwhelming to always have something else to buy. I think I’m on top of it with my current protocol. Almost no soreness in that area now. Normal energy today without needing to nap, like nearly all day Thursday ?. I’m not napper. Normal temperature without needing two sweaters, and space heater on additionally.

Even got to the (actually named Magnificent) forest today for a much needed walk and barefoot time. Pressed the affected side of my face against moss on a tree. ?

Still thinking it might be good to have it “officially” evaluated to make sure it’s healing and the tooth isn’t just now dead inside.

[Sarah Rivkin]

Thank you again! Great to know. I had a resistance to getting one when recommended recently thinking it would drive me nuts with discomfort to wear.

Meanwhile much much less discomfort today. Decided to not take the antibiotics. Continuing with my protocol and some added suggestions from here. I’m determined to keep the tooth intact.

One favorite protocol is having the sun beam right on that area. When I can catch it amidst the accelerated chemtrail onslaught. In addition to the Seattle overcast having returned since yesterday which can last for days here.
