Yarrow is a great herb with some excellent medical properties. In addition to being hemostatic, it is anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, diuretic, diaphoretic, astringent and expectorant.  All of these properties work together as a very powerful poultice for cuts and wounds since it is antiseptic, reduces inflammation and actually stimulates tissue growth. Drank as a tea or ingested regularly, it prevents indigestion and ulcers. It even has some salicin in it for pain relieving properties. It is also a vasodilator, helps with fevers and painful menstrual periods. Some people even use it as an herbal tobacco substitute, and it said to have a grounding or calming effect, despite having a mild stimulant effect. All that in a little humble plant that grows in ditches!

I’ve never had fried tomatoes.  Maybe I’ll try.   I have them in my greenhouse so they ripen some more and then I will either put them in the freeze dryer or will can them for future use and sauces and chili

No.  Herbal medicine is a literal discipline, meaning it will be best received and accepted mainstream if we do not promote using comics.  The point of trying to turn attention to herbal medicine is to help people live healthy lives so as to avoid mainstream American healthcare, which is unbelievably expensive   Wait till Matt sees all the bills he’s going to incur from his broken wrist. Do you know what herb helps accelerate the healing of a sprained ligament or broken bone?
