Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The very best formula for any infection in the mouth or toothache/infection is a small bit of goldenseal and powdered myrrh, freshly brewed up as a tea to rinse the mouth with. I've tried the EO, tried red root, nothing works like the little bit of dried goldenseal/myrrh mouthrinse. I am fortunate that I grow my own goldenseal, otherwise I would be very careful not to use much, substitute oregan graperoot instead. The wild goldenseal is dying out, but it's easy to grow, if one observes a few things. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Many, many years ago I was visiting a friend. I had stuffed up sinuses. She made me some goldenseal tea. When I was halfway through the cup I told her it must be getting stronger because I could smell and taste it better than when I started. She said it was because my nose had cleared with just half the cup. Well DUH!!! Felt pretty dumb!

I suggest only using organically cultivated herbs in most cases. That way we are not putting udue stress on the wild populations. Unless someone is consciously wildcrafting for their own use...not a huge commercial use...Oregon Grape has seen an increase in stress since it has been recommended as an alternate for Goldenseal :-) Michelle www.greentaramama.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 C-M, What are your tips for growing goldenseal? And where does one find it in the first place? Thanks for any info! I'd love to be able to grow some!! :-) Kelly Christa Maria wrote: > The very best formula for any infection in the mouth or > toothache/infection is a small bit of goldenseal and powdered myrrh, > freshly brewed up as a tea to rinse the mouth with. > I've tried the EO, tried red root, nothing works like the little bit of > dried goldenseal/myrrh mouthrinse. > I am fortunate that I grow my own goldenseal, otherwise I would be very > careful not to use much, substitute oregan graperoot instead. > The wild goldenseal is dying out, but it's easy to grow, if one observes > a few things. > C-M -- Version: 7.0.300 / Virus Database: 266.4.0 - Release 2/22/2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi Kelly: It's Jenn in Oregon but right now, in California. It's beautiful here now but lots of tornado like funnel things on the way down here that did a lot of damage. You should see the damage of the houses in Los Angeles area. Just all sliding off the hill tops . It's a real shame but I wouldn't ever have bought one there in the first place. Just seeing where they sit would be enough to stop me, LOL, Hope all is well with everyone on list . You too, Kelly. Huggs, Jenn > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
