Its growing everywhere without human attention and offers gifts for speeding up healing, earning a well deserved spot in this list of plants for survival food and adding to our natural first aid kits
I wonder if it's good for nerve damage. I'm dealing with a recurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome. Been taking St. John's Wort and wearing wrist braces but it's a slow process. Mostly I need to go easy on my hands/wrists but easier said than done. :)
I love the idea of this article sparking a trade in which something that is seen as "unwanted" by many, could be collected lovingly where it grows abundantly and shared with another who would appreciate the blessings this plant offers. What a beautiful expression of redefining our concept of "wealth" and engaging in Gift Economics. :)
Thanks, Gavin! I've been searching for it here on the land where I live but so far, no luck. These pics will help me in the spring.
I am so glad the article will be helpful to you on your foraging adventures :)
I drank horsetail tea after a minor surgery and found it to be very helpful in accelerating the healing of internal connective tissues.

I wish I could send you some Barbara as my back garden is carpeted with it in spring!
Maybe we can do a trade in the spring! 🌿
