substituting Gravel Root (Eupatorium purpureum)

[Guest guest]

In a recipe by Dr. Christopher, Gravel

Root (Eupatorium

purpureum) was substituted for Queen of the

Meadow

(Male Urinary Tract Formula (Prospallate)

Cayenne

(Capsicum spp.)

Ginger (Zingiber

officinale)

Goldenseal (Hydrastis

canadensis)

Gravel Root or Queen of the Meadow (Eupatorium purpureum)

Juniper (Juniperus

communis)

Marshmallow Root (Althea officinalis)

Parsley Root or Herb (Petroselinum crispum)

Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos

uva ursi)

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus)

This formula helps the body dissolve stones that are in the

kidneys, as well as clean out

other

sedimentation and infection contributing to prostate enlargement.)

 

Is it also

possible to substitute Queen of the Meadow in BF & C also, or will it not

work the same?

(6 parts Comfrey Root

6 parts Oak Bark

3 parts Gravel Root

3 parts Mullein

1 part Lobelia

2 parts Wormwood

3 parts Marshmallow Root

1 parts Skullcap

2 parts Walnut Bark)

 

And does it have to be Walnut bark in the

BF & C, or could it be black walnut hull or black walnut leaf? Do the

different parts such as bark, leaf, root, hull in certain plants act so

differently that they cannot be used interchangeably? Although sometimes I

know they are poisonous. Such as the rhizomes/roots of violets are poisonous,

but the leaves are not.

 

Thank you!
