Re: Herbs / Foods that Dissolve Blood Clots

Rinse the Earthworms real well....nothing like grit crunch to spoil a perfectly good plate of fried Earthworms :lol:

Re: Cleavers

I was just reading about cleavers over at the archived site...the conversation mentions 'sun-drying' cleavers to a 'black' stage, then using as a black tea substitute.
I don't think I've ever gotten the herb to darken.

Re: Equisetum/horsetail

Movlin is right...Horsetail is a mineral powerhouse!!!! I use it with Oatstraw (daily) and Comfrey (1-2 times a week).
To be able to harvest Horsetail is a real blessing...sunshine, fresh air, and green things...BLESSINGS! :D
