I learn something new about herbs every year despite foraging and wildcrafting for a few years in Alaska now (before that in KY and TN).

Snow is in the forecast so let me know if you want me to harvest some and how much you are interested in. I'm guessing the shipping wouldn't be much as dried herbs don't weigh much - depending on how quickly you want it. Do you have a surplus of anything you'd like to barter?

I have suffered from that too! Florida, where I live, is too hot for many of the most used/loved medicinal herbs to grow but I'm interested in finding out about more medicinal natives. I would love to find someone teaching/studying this type of thing in my area...<br />Good luck with your herb learning!skhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646543485376178222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-27288872066212964822010-05-31T14:24:00.223-08:002010-05-31T14:24:00.223-08:00Hi Emily,
Ledum Pal. homeopathy (which our family...Hi Emily,<br /><br />Ledum Pal. homeopathy (which our family has used over the years) is good for bumps, bruises, bug bites, and is perhaps even the number one recommendation for puncture wounds (keeping them from getting infected). <br /><br />I hope to gather some leaves for tea to use for coughs and colds and just to have a taste of Alaska sunshine in the winter :). I imagine that using the leaves in a rinse and poultice (depending on the use needed) would work as well as the homeopathy.<br /><br />If you need some leaves and flowers, or even starts, you are welcome to e-mail me and run out here to our bogs to pick some. It's blooming up a storm here!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Nikki (a.k.a.

I started tea tree this year from seed and it is one of my most used essential oils for cleansers, wound wash etc. I would love to hear your experiences if you purchase one. I recently joined a Frontier buyers club that places bulk orders four times a year. I can't wait to start buying essential oils from them and have been holding out on buying any more small bottles until I can place an order.<br /><br />How do you use the labrador? We have some and I recall in the village I use to live in, folks would brew it as a tea. Take care, EmilyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124854790635683665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-35610818145176243862010-05-29T17:29:08.928-08:002010-05-29T17:29:08.928-08:00I really enjoy your blog!

We have so many wonderful medicinal herbs and plants growing here, I refer to it as a wonderland!<br /><br />One thing that I am considering is getting a home distiller for essential oils, especially for wild Alaska roses. Rose absolute essential oils are *so* expensive to buy that purchasing a distiller for years of use would be cheaper than buying more than one bottle over the years, in many cases, of the oil. Plus, having local wild rose absolute and using it in soaps would sure brighten-up the long winter days here and bring back summer memories.<br /><br />Do you distill your own essential oils?Mrs. Wayne Hunterhttp://www.fascinatingwomanhoodak.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
