August's Featured Alternative is Harvesting!
Due to the extreme busyness of the editor of this blog the featured Alternative "Baths" has been pushed to September. Instead May's Featured Alternative has been delayed also.
Looking throughout your lawn, garden, side of the road and even the woods, keep in mind that those 'weeds' you have been brainwashed into hating could very well help you or even, save your life! Don't pull em or even through them out! If they are somewhere you don't want them simply dig them up and replant them in their own bed!
This month we will show the various different types of weeds, a brief example of what they are good for and many pictures!
August's Featured Alternative- HARVESTING!
Prunella Vulgarius - Heal All
Prunella Vulgarius - Heal All
This beautiful flowering herb is not called heal all for no reason. It's mouth shaped flowers, rough-like little hairs and long tops is something that every home should have.To buy such a thing would cost you more than $60 on Amazon.
So why waste your money when (from my experience) grows from Ohio all the way across through to the panhandle in northern Idaho.
They are ready for picking as soon as a flower has bloomed on it. Here are some pictures of my harvesting last month.
Prunella Vulgaris, grown in sunny, wet, dry, and shady conditions. Along trails, besides rivers, etc. this can be found everywhere. Grows to about 1-2ft tall. Purple Flowers. This particular site where I harvested in along side trail to the scenic Kootenai river, in North Western Montana.
Scenic Kootenai River, Montana
___________________________________________________________
I harvested about a pound Prunella Vulgaris. I must admit, I was very surprised to see such large tops! Some larger than the size of my pinky finger. I have never seen them so big. It must be the Montana air or something because in Ohio they were small.
The largest one I picked was almost the size of my index finger!

What is Prunella Vulgaris used for? Stay tuned for more! Until next time. Thanks for reading!

September;s Featured Alternative - Baths
Yuck! You stink, you need a bath! While many think of a bath to simply be a way to cleanse the skin it has many other purposes as well. It is called hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy involves the use of water for pain-relief and treating illness. The term hydrotherapy itself is synonymous with the term Water cure as it was originally marketed by practitioners and promoters in the 1800s.
