Ok lets move on to one of my favorite herbs, Allium sativum (garlic). If there ever was a cure all this is it. Garlic must be consumed raw to give any medicinal value. If I could only have one herb garlic would be that herb.

It can be used as an;

Alterative, anthelmintic, antibacterial, antibiotic, anticaterrhal, antiinflammatory, antimycotic, antimeoplastic, antispasmodic, carminative, cholagogue, condiment, diaphoretic, digestant, disinfectant, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, febrifuge, hypotensive, nervine, rubefacient, spasmolytic, stomachic, tonic, vulnerary, and vasodilator.

We had a goat one time that had a very bad skin condition that we could not get rid of so I made garlic oil by soaking crushed garlic in olive oil for several days and then appling it to the rash. The rash was gone in about 2 days.

DW had carpal tunel sydrome so bad that she could hardly brush her hair or hold a coffe cup. She ate raw garlic everyday for about a year and hasn't had any problems since.

I got put out of the US Navy because my knees are tore up when they start to bother me more than normal I eat garlic and it reduces the pain.

Once again the garlic must be raw, heat kills its medicinal value

FDA Declares Form of Vitamin B6 a Drug

The FDA has effectively banned a naturally-occurring form of vitamin B6 called pyridoxamine by declaring it to be a drug, reports the American Association for Health Freedom. Responding to a petition filed by a drug company, the FDA declared pyridoxamine to be "a new drug."

Now, any nutritional supplements containing pyridoxamine will be considered adulterated and illegal by the FDA, which may raid vitamin companies and seize such products. See the history of FDA raids on vitamin companies here: Tyranny in the USA: The true history of FDA raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies - NaturalNews.com

Pyridoxamine occurs naturally in fish, chicken and other foods, putting the FDA in the strange position of banning a substance from dietary supplements even though it is already present in the food supply.

The FDA's war on Mother Nature
It's not the first time the FDA has declared a natural molecule to be a "drug" while attacking nutritional supplements that contain the same molecule. A similar story unfolded with red yeast rice and the lovastatin molecules it contains that lower high cholesterol. The drug companies engaged in biopiracy, ripping off the molecule from red yeast rice to make their now-famous "statin drugs." Once the statin drugs were patented, Big Pharma and the FDA went after red yeast rice, claiming the supplement was "adulterated with pharmaceuticals."

It wasn't really adulterated, of course. It just contained a natural statin-drug-like molecule that the drug companies copied and patented.

It would be like Big Pharma patenting vitamin C, then the FDA claiming that all oranges and lemons were adulterated with drugs because they naturally contain their own vitamin C.

This is the insanity of the FDA as it operates today. You can read more about the FDA on our channel webiste www.FDAreform.org which is updated every few days.

So will this ruling on pyridoxamine affect nutritional supplements? Yes, any supplements containing this form of vitamin B6 can now be declared "adulterated" by the FDA. Manufacturers of such supplements can be arrested and shut down for engaging in "illegal drug trafficking." Such is the nature of the FDA's agenda to criminalize nutritional supplement companies and limit consumers' access to Mother Nature's remedies.

How and Why Vitamin B6 Became a Prescription Drug

Ganado · Jul 23, 2015

Wow. Ow am I going to have to get a prescription for b6 shots?

Motomom34 · Jul 24, 2015

I know this doesn't go with the topic but I posted re: extracts earlier in this thread so here are some ideas.
Homemade Extracts | Spoon Fork Bacon
Mint Extract Recipe | The Prairie Homestead
BTW- I had always seen extract with vodka only but the first link uses brandy. I don't drink so unsure if brandy would be better then vodka. I have mint ready for picking so I am going to make some mint extract.

It is the Ethanol in the Liquor, that is the solvent that the alkaloids dissolve into. It really doesn't matter much, what else is in the liquor. except they might be some rare chemical interactions, that may occur, with lower Percentage, or Proof, Liquors..... AlaskaChick always uses EverClear for such extractions, because of the 195 Proof (93% Ethanol) with only 3% water. This is how I was schooled in College, to do such extractions, only we would be using NSF Reagent Ethyl Alcohol, 99.99% Pure Stuff..... Makes a Heck of a Screwdriver, when mixed 50/50 with Orange Juice... Another thing, I learned in college....

One more weed to use as medicine and add to the garden

Plantain- A Great Backyard Healing Herb

This woman uses it as 'boo boo lotion' Homemade Healing Salve Recipe | Wellness Mama

Dunerunner · Apr 5, 2017

Found this looking for Tinctures.. Guide to Making Tinctures
it talks to which percent/proof solvent to use for which herbs.

Dit Da Jow is an ancient Chinese Martial Arts Analgesic. I use it for bruises, an I get plenty. Found this recipe and they are hard to find as most are family kept secrets.. Dit Da Jow Recipe | Wellness Mama

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of dried Arnica flowers.

1 tablespoon dried Plantain Leaf.

1 tablespoon dried Comfrey Leaf.

1 tablespoon Frankincense Powder

1 tablespoon dried Myrrh powder

1 tablespoon Fennel seeds

1 teaspoon dried Angelica Root

1 teaspoon dried calendula flowers.

1 teaspoon dried Dandelion Root.

1 teaspoon dried Horsetail

1 teaspoon dried Nettle Leaf.

1 teaspoon cloves powder

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

Place all of the herbs in a glass mason jar (at least 16 ounces).

Pour boiling water to just dampen all of the herbs. (This step is optional but helps to draw out the beneficial properties of the herbs)

Fill the rest of the jar (or the entire jar if not using hot water too) with alcohol (drinkable, at least 80 proof) and stir with a clean stainless steel spoon.

Put the lid on the jar. Store the jar in a cool/dry place, shaking daily, for at least three weeks and up to six months. (I usually leave herbs for six weeks)

Strain through cheesecloth and compost the herbs. Store the tincture in colored dropper bottles or clean glass jars.

Use on skin as needed to help with bruises, sore muscles and pain. Do not use on cut or broken skin.

Cannabis!! Granted that it's federally illegal to grow, but would it really matter in a worse-case scenario? I've put a torx bit through my thumb while repairing the chicken coop...used cannabis oil on the entry and exit wound - (Basic vegetable oil extraction that's been outlined above - soak plant in solvent, strain, evaporate off the solvent, collect oil.)
I had no infection and healed quickly. We've tried it on so many different wounds. It heals skin lacerations and eruptions faster than anything I've ever tried. We mix it with coconut oil or alcohol for a topical ointment. When I threw my back out, it worked great as muscle relaxant. We've used it topically for inflammation things (arthritis, bursitis, etc.) My wife broke her ankle and rubbed in cannabis oil mixed with capsaicin from some peppers. It seemed to help more than a little - Just a disclaimer, this is just speaking from our own experiences and experiments on our specific plants. (...expectations will vary...)

From what I've discovered since Coloradoans got together to say we can grow cannabis, it's an extremely potent herb to have in the medicine cabinet for so many, many things. Cannabis seeds should be essential in any long-term BOB. (It's also great for cordage!)
