Is it shepherd's purse? I once had a naturopath give prescribe it to

stop unusually heavy menstrual flow. It worked.

Humans. I put some in a spray bottle. The bugs buzz around some but

don't land. We use it on the cows when they come in to be milked.

Thanks, Zoe, for that great list. I will get pots to try some. Wish I

had my own yard but pots may do.

No but that is another good one. This one grows quite low to the ground but

sends up a simple bloom stalk- non descript kind of bloom. The leaves are

very lacy and the edges are very red. I know it when I see it, just can't

remember the name gosh this is frustrating.

There are many ways to make a tincture- I prefer the simple one.

Put your fresh or dried herbs in a canning jar, cover with the menstruum(

vodka- brandy - olive oil - vegetable glycerine- or water) Cover tightly

shake vigorously and put in a dark place for about 6 weeks. Turn it upside

down every few days and shake again. At the end of the time, strain out

the herb ( Pour into an unbleached muslin cloth, let it drain into a bowl-

tie up the cloth and squeeze.) Throw the spent herbs into your compost.

Bottle the liquid. I use 16 oz. brown ( amber) bottles and keep a supply of 2

oz. dropper bottles for personal use.

Many herbs can be used just dried, they will keep for a few months if you don't

powder them until ready to use.

Tincturing is a way to keep them long term.

I got a bottle of Claravale and I don't know if I'm having bad luck finding

tasty raw milk, or what, but it tasted horrible. Fishy, like seaweed. Is

that normal with grass-fed raw milk? The Organic Pasture I tried tasted

normal (but went sour within a couple of days).

Thanks,

These are both among the brands I have tried. Claravale is the brand

that

tastes most like 100% grass fed to me.

I definately didn't get a fishy taste from the bottles I got... It was like

regular milk with (now that I've had time to think about it after the

" weeds " conversation) kind of a mild dandelion aftertaste.

It is also a way to make them more potent and to ensure their

assimilation by the body.
