Bush Medicine at the Moot

[sandsnakes]

Hi all,

I am running a Bush Medicine session at the moot after the well recived session poultice demo last year.

It will cover

Simple use of UK kitchen herbs
Simple use of UK herbs for poultice application
Simple accupressure

Some of will remember how quickly we got rid of some monster hangovers!

The emphasis is UK herbs as we all live in the UK. Its designed to be carried in your head and to be be used as an everyday tool.

If there is a specific condition you want covered, let me know.

Come and learn how our ancestors used the woods to heal.

If you are interested please drop me a line.

some things like this would be really good on youtube or similar imo as it would reach a wider audiance.

good luck with your demo

I am going to sacrifice myself and get absolutely blotto the night before I do your workshop Rod, that way you can go to work on a hangover

But seriously, after your workshop last year I'm definately interested in learning more about uses for plants.

[Buckshot]

Myself and Mrs Buckshot would be interested in this one please

Cheers

Strange but true.

The only knife I have ever found that will trim the old silicon seal from the base of the shower tray in one easy cut is a UDEMAN 440 stainless steel knife made in Spain. Nice little thing, better than a stanley etc. One cut did it all... bushcraft tools reign supreme.

So if anyone wants to develop an ailment for the moot ....bring it on!

[Nightwalker]

Sounds a great class for me and Mrs, we'll be there Thanks for running it!

[Matthew.Passmore]

I'll be there

[sandsnakes]

Hi all,

Thanks for your support Matt, Nightwalker, Kit to, Chas Buckshot, Susan (Two flower) and webbie.

If you are going to do the course try and buddy up. Its easier if there are two of you. I will post some basics later on, but should be able to bring most of the kit with me.

Sandsnakes

ps Dave Budd the Knife man pretty please, could they be ready for the moot by then?

[Bobbin]

Sounds like it'll be interesting and I've only heard good things from last year.


Go on then Rod, I'll give it a go








And I promise to go easy on the drink this year

[sandsnakes]

Can anyone remember if there are any pine trees at the moot site?

I want to collect the needles (green) to show a poultice for chest infections, its our native version of eucalyptus poultice.

[Rhoda]

I'm really interested in attending, I'm betting my husband and Angie would be too. I think you are going to be popular!

Im sure there are a few. IIRC Twoflower and I stumbled across a couple on a walk on the last day, although my memory is vague at best.

I seem to recall you sending someone off to find some pine scales last year, or did you ask someone to climb a tree (with the hope they would fall so you could treat them? ) to collect some? Either way, I remember there being some pine ... I think.

[sandsnakes]

I now have 12 people who are interested, so it looks like I will now do two sessions. Any more takers?

Sandsnakes

[Ogri the trog]

Rod,
It would seem that I'm going to be heavily booked this year, but if I can get a bit of time free, I'd like to tag along - but don't count on it, as things might get busy at short notice.

Ogri,

See you if I see you. I should have a manual so if all else fails you could, 'shock horror' buy one !

The price will set very low for the moot, if I have enough printed by then I will give a pile to Tony for the shop.

[bear knights]

Yep Rhoda you would be right...I'd love to go. Count me in please Rod.

[firecrest]

Just so long as you arent teaching us this egyptian remedy I found.

"for cuts and skin wounds - Mix the excrement of a scribe with milk and apply to the wound as a poultice"

Perhaps underneath it said "And die a slow painful death!"

[carla]

rod,
will be interesting to see what youre going to do, as ive never been before......hope you come to the natural remedies for women, with men invited too. its just a title" natural medicine remedies for women. it was thought the ladies didnt have much to entertain them. whether thats true or not i dont know, but ill enjoy talking a bit on how to make some ointments, creams, shampoo if i can find some soapwort locally. does anyone know if it grows in s. wales?
