Re: too much time in the hot tub.
I guess I must live in HERBAL HEAVEN, when we cleared off the dirt to build the School of Self-Applied Prevention, I killed maybe 50 mullien plants and a few thousand yarrow plants just in that small area! They were the 2 dominent herbs with the 3rd being St. John's Wort.
Not too worry, because we have acreas more! The dominent tree is the black walnut tree, what else could an herbalist ask for?
In the hot tub room, I have an enclosed tub/shower. Beside this, I have a 5 gallon tea kettle with spout. I have yet to use it, but the theory is, to brew 5 gallons of tea and then put this in a nice hot bath with some clay or epsoms salts, etc. and as an option, i have a 2 horse power water pump with a 1 and 1/2 inch pipe to mimmick the water falling off a mountain and hitting your body the way the switz alps water cure did back in the 1700s, only I can turn my water off at command. So what if we brewed up 5 gallons of yarrow tea and mullien tea, drank a cup or 2 while bathing!!!!
So many herbs, so many methods and only so many days of life to experiment with it all!!!!
YES, I do find it amazing that you now speak about yarrow and mullien "after" I clear the ground for the school and see these are 2 of your favorite herbs!
Actually yarrow and especially mullien like very "poor" soil and that is one reason why that area was so heavy with both those herbs and st. johns wort, because all 3 like soil so poor that grass can barely grow.
