Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hello I have Knotweed (I think it is the whole pieces of the root and not the bark) from Chinese Herbs. I have begun making tea out of it...pouring boiling water over it and letting it steep for 15 minutes. Doesn't taste too bad...even unsweetened. I am wondering if anyone else uses it this way, if they think it is more absorbable than dried powder in capsules and if the reservatol is wrecked by heating? I am thinking that it should be advertised as a local drink ....that we should begin to find sources of it around where we live and make use of the invasive plant. It may even have more specific qualities for the speciifc strains of organisms in our areas. You know, maybe similar to how honey from one's local area can confer more immunity towards allergies than from honey made far away. Thanks for any advice Margie --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.
