Sticky ALANTfrom the ALANTE family
(Dittrichia viscosa or Inula viscosa)
The elecampane is a plant native to the Mediterranean region.
Elecampane is mainly used for FLU PAL INFECTION with a strong COUGH and chronic lung problems. Elecampane is rich in essential oils and other ingredients such as phytosterols and others that have a very beneficial effect on diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The plant is even recommended for the smoker's disease COPD because of its lung-cleansing effect.
The roots of elecampane, which are harvested in late summer and autumn, are particularly effective, but the herb is also an effective remedy.
The oil of the sticky elecampane is very effective for respiratory diseases. It is obtained from the whole flowering plant and has an expectorant, expectorant and antispasmodic effect.
Healing effect of ALANT on:
Upper respiratory tract colds

In general, remedies with elecampane make breathing easier and can therefore also be used for people in need of care or for lung tumors and metastases.
ALANT works:

A particularly effective remedy with elecampane for respiratory diseases is the preparation of an infusion (both root and herb). The parts of the plant are poured over with hot water and soaked for 4-8 hours. The drink can then be briefly warmed up again and then drunk.
Already DIOSKURIDES pointed out that itching can occur when collecting the plant. If you are very sensitive, you should wear gloves. The following is found about ALANT in its Materia Medica:
=27. elecampane.
...The roots are dug in the summer and cut up and dried. The decoction of it

MUGWOOD Artemisiae vulgaris
Old names: Thorwurz,Solvent herb, Mugwurz (Powerwurz)
The wonderful mugwort is a very old and experienced medicinal plant. Since it grows and has grown almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere, it was used and revered in almost all ancient cultures, the Celts, Germans, in antiquity... as a highly effective medicinal and protective plant. That's what the names that were given to him say. For example, the Germanic tribes called Mugwurz, which can be translated as MACHTWURZ.
I too am very fond of mugwort and use its healing powers in many ways. I have found out for myself that BEIFUSS & SCHAFGARBE form an extraordinarily strong team. Both alone and together, they are highly potent medicinal plants, especially with regard to their disinfecting, antispasmodic, cleansing effect and as WOMEN'S & OCCUPATIONAL herbs.
My self-created remedies with mugwort:
Healing oil mugwort (cold extract)
Medicinal powder (mugwort & dextrose)
Medicinal Beads (Mugwort & Corn Starch)
Incense sticks "Shaman" (mugwort, horseweed, yarrow, St. John's wort & blood sage)

COMPRESSION Symphytum officinale
Comfrey is a very old medicinal plant and is particularly effective with regard to the bone and musculoskeletal system. However, due to its valuable and versatile ingredients, it has a very wide range of medicinal and application areas. You could call him an almost all-rounder.
Symphytum" is derived from the ancient Greek word "symphýein" which means "growth together". What is meant by this is its excellent properties in relation to BONE healing in fractures, WOUND healing and its healing effect on injuries to the musculoskeletal system (bruises, contusions, rheumatism... .).
Responsible for this is the contained ALLANTOIN, which is colloquially known as "bone glue" and the rosmarinic acid as a defense against pathogens such as bacteria and fungi.
Both the herb and mainly the root are used in medicinal production.
My remedies with the COMPRESSION:
HEALING OIL Comfrey (roots and olive oil in cold extract)
SOLE TINCTURE Comfrey (Root & Herb & Romanian Mountain Salt)
TINCTURE (root and herb mit

From the MATERIA MEDICA by Pedanius DIOSCURIDES:
=10. Other symphyton.
Symphyton officinale (Asperifoliacae) - Bulbous Comfrey
The other Svmphyton - Some call it Pekten, the Romans Soldago
...The whole stalk and
the leaves have a somewhat raucous covering, which causes itching when touched. The roots below are black on the outside, white and slimy on the inside; use is made of these. Finely eaten and drunk, they are good for those who suffer from spitting blood and internal abscesses, and as a poultice they also seal fresh wounds. ... As a cataplasm (poultice) they serve in inflammations, especially in the anus, and are beneficial with the leaves of ragroot.
The INGREDIENTS and their effects:
Among native plants, comfrey is the plant with the highest ALLANTOIN content, an important active ingredient in the formation of new cells and tissue regeneration. It also helps wounds and ulcers heal faster.
ROSEMARY ACID has an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effect.
LYSIN-rich mucilage helps the body fight against foreign cells and pathogens. The amino acid lysine also helps build muscle. It is involved in bone growth, cell division and wound healing.
SAPONINE help with diseases of the respiratory tract and congestion
In addition, comfrey is high in vitamin C, protein, silica, potassium and calcium.
COMFOX in the kitchen:
Comfrey is a very delicious and tasty edible plant. It has a gentle cucumber aroma similar to borage. Due to its high protein content, comfrey is just as highly recommended for VEGETARIAN & VEGAN diets as is the NETTLE. Young leaves are suitable as an addition to green smoothies, for juicing, in herbal mixtures and finely chopped in salads.
Comfrey roots are grated raw and mixed into salads or steamed as a vegetable.
Comfrey contains traces of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (0.02-0.04%) and should therefore not be taken in large quantities.
Canadian WORKER
Conyza canadensis
The old European scholars, doctors and wise men have not found out anything about horseweed, as it only came to Europe in the 17th century through overseas trade. The North American Indians used it to heal many ailments:
diarrheal diseases
Bleeding & Wounds, Prenatal Infections
fever, pimple
BERUFkraut is not derived from the profession as an activity, it comes from the word "vocation" in the negative sense, i.e. to describe, bewitch or curse.
There are a number of herbs that were primarily used in ancient times to ward off something negative directed at someone from the outside (envy, denial, curses, anger).
These herbs are collectively called the descriptive & professional herbs. The best known is the BERUFKRAUT.
Describing is generated on a human level (a modern version is e.g. bullying), while calling on a non-material but spirit level.
The herbs were classified according to their appearance, striking feature of the plant, e.g. B. the smell, their poisonous effect, their striking taste, their natural protective effects such as thorns, spines (the so-called Marensitze).
I would like to mention some of them here:
Mugwort, St. John's wort, thistles, nettle, ragwort, rue, ground ivy, valerian, lovage, garlic, mistletoe and much more.
In homeopathy, fleabane is used for bleeding and inflammation of the stomach, liver and gallbladder.

The NETTLE has one of the highest proportions of vitamins and minerals among herbs
counteracts many deficiency symptoms (see tables).
In addition, it has a high protein content and is therefore particularly recommended for VEGETARIAN and VEGAN food.
It works:

purifying and blood purifying
as an ointment or balm for dry skin eruptions
potency-enhancing in men (1 teaspoon of seeds daily)

She strengthens:
the immune system
the rhythmic system (Mercury principle)
By injecting its snake venom-like irritants (hisamine, etc.), the plant transfers its defensive nature when touched to PARACELSUS and helps with listlessness, lack of energy and assertiveness, which is often associated with IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA (The Herbal Science of Paracelsus; O. Rippe)
DAMIANA (Turnera diffusa, Turnera Aphrodisiaca, Turnera Pringei)

Damiana is best known as a mildly euphoric aphrodisiac, but it can also be used to treat health conditions such as asthma.
Damiana facilitates breathing through its essential oils and by relaxing the bronchi. In addition, damiana strengthens the digestive organs and can thereby alleviate abdominal pain. It helps against menstrual cramps thanks to its anticonvulsant properties.

ST. JOHN'S WORT☀
At DIOSCURIDES, St. John's wort is also available as
called Hartheu. Otherwise names like Herrgottsblut, Fuga Daemonum (Devil's flight) are known to me.
The name St. John's wort can be traced back to St. John the Baptist.
PARACELSUS calls it a gift from God, the royal medicine and the image of the sun.
DIOSCURIDES, as the emperor's doctor and companion on many campaigns, uses the plant primarily because of its WOUND HEALING and PAIN RELIEF effects, for sciatica and burns. The following can be found in his MATERIA MEDICA:
...Preferably she heals
Sciatica, but you have to drink water after cleaning. Also
The herb heals burns as a cataplasm, finally it stills
the blood...
Otherwise, St. John's wort helps with the following symptoms:
gout, rheumatism
PAIN RELIEF after sprains, neck tension, nerve pain, shingles and cervical spine syndrome
sunburn, burns
neurodermatitis
Only PARACELSUS, whose favorite plant is St. John's wort, researches its excellent properties on the psyche. He speaks of 4 forces that make the plant a universal remedy:
Against PHANTASMATA,
Against wounds
Against worms
As a balm
PHANTASMATA would nowadays be called mental illnesses or disorders such as depression, personality disorders, psychoses and the like. (From THE HERBAL KNOWLEDGE OF PARACELSUS by Olaf Rippe: There are diseases that force people to kill themselves (III/630)).
So diseases (if you already knew the person before) where you have the feeling that the person is animated by another spirit.
As its likeness, JOHANNISWORT should be taken in accordance with the course of the sun, i.e. in the morning (not at night and in the afternoon). So it is still prescribed, administered or recommended by knowledgeable people administering it today.
IMPORTANT to know:
Cattle, horses and sheep mostly avoid St. John's Wort. Because they are light-skinned and sensitive to light. The KUH is not as STUPID as it is often called. ST. JOHN'S WORT produces, if you and other light types and races (including HUMAN BEINGS) eat it, high photosensitivity, swelling, sunburn up to necrosis. It is true that the lighter the complexion, the more sensitive the intake of JOHANNISKRAUT.
This is not a freak of nature. PARACELSUS calls the herb "God's gift" to man, since its light and sunny energy has the power to banish darkness. What is meant by this is the strongly positive healing power of St. John's wort on the psyche (especially in the darker half of the year).
kudzu
an East Asian plant has been used against alcohol cravings for 1000 years. Alcohol is broken down very slowly in the body, which means that you are drunk after just a few glasses and have no desire to continue drinking. In addition, kudzu produces nausea and dizziness when combined with alcohol

LAVENDER (Lavandula angustifolia)
Whether because of its beguiling scent or its versatile uses as a medicinal herb, LAVENDER is an impressive plant.
It was so valuable to the Romans, Egyptians and Greeks that they treated it as a "holy herb". Whether as a fragrance and bath essence, oil, incense, wound healing and sedative on campaigns and much more, the LAVENDER was a highly revered plant in ancient times.

HILDEGARD VON BINGEN described lavender as a warm and dry herb, which she used to treat lung and liver diseases as well as psychological conditions.
PARACELSUS knew of its calming effect and used the herb as a sedative and to treat heart and digestive problems.
PIETRO ANDREA MATTHIOLI mentioned it for the treatment of numerous internal and external concerns (paralysis, cramps, stomach problems as well as liver and spleen diseases, dental diseases, speech problems and body aches).

Yarrow
Already Pedanius Dioscurides praised and praised this wonderful plant. It was one of his favorite plants, along with the yam root, which also bears his name in Latin. No wonder, because their healing effects are extensive, amazing and holistic.
It has a CALMING effect. Anyone who has suffered pain or injury knows how stressful such a condition can be.
I was able to experience for myself its BLOODSTATIC, WOUND HEALING & DISINFECTING effect. Even with severe injuries, it does amazing things as emergency care. In addition, it is germ-resistant, anti-inflammatory and thus promotes wound healing and can, for example, be used in the household as a DISINFECTION. It has an antispasmodic effect, for example for abdominal pain, back pain, stiff neck and menstrual cramps.
It can be used as a chest compress when you have a cold or flu.
It is BILIFORCULATOR and serves as a DIURETIC.
In addition, it provides excellent service as a LIVER WRAP, which can be further enhanced by putting on a hot-water bottle.
YARROW is also known as VENUS BROW because its young leaves resemble eyebrows. This signature indicates its healing powers as lady's herb, because Yarrow is rich in PHYTOHORMONES. In the menopause, it alleviates the symptoms that arise, relieves menstrual cramps (e.g. with YARROW lady's mantle tea), etc.
SHE relieves headache and migraine symptoms.
In the digestive system, it helps with diarrhea, hemorrhoids and intestinal inflammation.

wild lettuce Lactuca virosa
APPLICATION
For whooping cough, dry cough, dysmenorrhea and nymphomania, for insomnia, restlessness and excitability
Lactucarium has sedative and analgesic effects
The plant was used medicinally in ancient times. Towards the end of the 18th century more and more doctors are said to be using the dried milky juice of poison lettuce (lactucarium) as an opium substitute
have. Around 1847 the plant was cultivated extensively in the Moselle region and the lactucarium obtained was shipped from Zell to the United States via England. There was also an increase in the cultivation of wild lettuce in other European countries at the same time.
Either because of the laborious harvest or because of the lack of scientific proof of the effect, poison lettuce preparations were eventually replaced by opium from Asia.
INGREDIENTS
Sesquiterpene lactones: lactucin and lactucopicrin in aerial parts of plants; the melampolide lactusid A was detected in annual and biennial plants.
Triterpenes: α-Lactucerol and β-Lactucerol (= mixture of triterpenes and sterols), β-Lactucerol mainly as an ester with acetic acid and higher fatty acids (= Lactucon or Lactucerin)

ROCK ROSE (Cistus incanus)
also called Greek mountain rose, ladanum, labdanum, ladan or myrrh.
Rockrose (Cistus incanus) is a plant native to the Mediterranean. It has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient times. In Greek folk medicine, Cistus was used for ITCHING and DISINFECTION of wounds. Cistus or Cystus is one of the most POLYPHENOL-rich plants in Europe.
Today, their highly antioxidant compounds are used to treat FLU AND COLDS.
POLYPHENOLS:
are widespread phytamines with STRONG ANTIOXIDATIVE effects. Polyphenols have large molecules. They are therefore able to envelop viruses and bacteria and then eject them via certain physical routes, so that the disease-causing substances can no longer damage the body.
They are found in almost all plants and are mainly divided into phenolic acids and flavonoids. Phenolic acids are mostly contained in plants as tannic acids, they give some of them the tart taste, e.g. black tea.
Flavonoids are mostly found as colorants (pigments) in fruits and vegetables. For example, they give cherries, grapes, apricots and medlars their red, blue and yellow colors.
HEALING EFFECTS of cistus:
stimulates the immune system
strengthens the mucous membranes
against colds,
against skin diseases (e.g. acne, neurodermatitis)
for gastrointestinal complaints (e.g. intestinal flu)
in inflammation of the urinary tract

PLINUS THE ELDER also described in the 1st century AD the extraction of LADANUM resin with the help of goats. These were driven through the dense cistus bushes. The sticky resin of the cistus stuck to the goat hair, which was then cut off and boiled. The valuable resin could be skimmed off in the cooled supernatant.
