Great post mary .......I am getting into this stuff more and more, apple cider , my father in law swore by it, and when I read this brought it all back......old lau ,used to call up to my place to pick elder flower....he would dry it out......any sign of a cold , he would crush it up and pour boiling water on it (to make a tea ) 1 glug of honey squeeze of lemon and drink hot as possible, ..I read a article regarding surgical paraffin ......when I was a kid that was always kept....and used for anything and everything, but you will have a job getting hold of it......a cure for cancer to I am told also.......................Dock leafs , are great for insect bites and stings, I will give more time to this subject as time rolls by, its worth the effort I have no doubt....by now you all know I look back a lot to the past and childhood days ......but.....most people were healthier then ......I wonder why?, I have become a disciple of a simple life.....my hands in the soil.....I feel good mary.
