Digging up a little old Ozark granny medicine! 🌿 Comfrey, often called ‘knitbone,’ has a long history of traditional use for broken bones, arthritis, and aching joints.

As the top growth dies back, comfrey stores reserves underground for winter, making fall a traditional time to harvest the root.

Leaves and roots have overlapping uses: the leaves are traditionally used in soothing poultices for bruises and soreness, while the root makes a thick, mucilage rich preparation used in salves for aching muscles and joints. Today I’m harvesting root for my topical aches and pains remedy!

Grab your fresh batch of “Aches and Pains Salve” today at https://thegardenofeden1999.com/collections/product.html?handle=pain-away-salve

Both parts contain liver toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, generally higher in the root. Never take comfrey internally or apply it to broken skin.

Have a blessed and feral day! 🌿

Getting some passion flower tincture stocked back up today! Our native passionflower “passifloria Incarnata” is my absolute favorite for a subtle calming effect for my central nervous system. This is my go to on high strung fast paced days, or nights that you can’t slow those raving thoughts down. 💭

Passionflower directly affects the GABA receptors and works on the central nervous system commonly making it a favorite go to herb for people who suffer with adhd, racing thoughts, anxiety, and insomnia.

Yucca tip: Pull out and discard the pistils, stamens, and tough calyx, they are responsible for most of the bitterness when munching on raw yucca blooms. (It’s not recommended to eat too many raw yucca blooms because of the saponins) which can cause a mild soapy flavor and too much of the petals or centers can cause an itchy throat or mild nausea in some people.

Here are a few of my favorite ways to use yucca blooms after removing the stems and centers.

🍳 Scramble cooked petals with eggs, butter, onion, and a little cheddar.

🌮 Sauté with onions and green chiles, then tuck into a cheesy quesadilla.

🥘 Chop cooked petals into cornmeal fritter batter and fry until golden and cooked through.

🫙 Want to save some? Blanch, cool, drain, and freeze for future meals! You can also make a small batch of refrigerator pickles or can them.
