Many commercial skin creams use aloe as one of their major ingredients.
As far as medicines from nature: The list is almost endless. I'm currently making tea from Horsetail (a weed). It is said to help prevent cancer. I started drinking one cup per day since finding out I had a tumor on one of my kidneys. I've also been collecting and drinking chamomile flowers (tea) for many years. It soothes the stomach.
My next-door neighbour showed me a flower that she said will remove warts by putting a drop of its sap on the wart and letting it dry there. Unfortunately, I have no clue what the flower's name is.
Oh... I just thought of something. My mother would use Aloe sometimes for minor burns. She just cut a sliver off the leaf and rubbed it on her skin. No scooping of gel; just cut and rub directly on the skin. She "painted" the gel on like using a felt marker pen, only the "pen" was the Aloe leaf.
Yeah many of commercial creams use Aloe and Lemons as one of their main ingredients.
The horsetail tea sounds interesting, has it been helping with the tumor? Like any improvements?
The flower for the drying the warts sound too good to be true, I am sure there must be something like this, but never heard of it. Wish we knew the flower name and hit that pretty thing around :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
I have no way to know for sure because the tumor has not changed in size over the past 21 months. I am also eating bitter apricot seeds for the same reason. It is anyone's guess which actually work and which do nothing. The main thing for me is that it is not growing.
I found this:
Although the images of the plant somehow don't look quite the same to me. It is a small flower though, and she plucked one of the flowers and squeezed it so that juice came from the stem just under the base of the flower.
Overall the combination is working for you, thats still great :)
I am gonna read about the Walachii flower and what conditions it grows in :)
Nice! I hope you can find all the information without too much trouble.
I grow my own ginger in 3 pots inside the house. I still don't know if the ginger likes wet soil or dry. I've been watering once a week and so far I get new shoots and roots each year, so at least they are surviving and I get fresh organic ginger. It's not a lot of ginger, but better than none!
Ooooo growing ginger inside home sounds interesting. What does the books and the internet says about ginger soil preference, maybe ginger has a weather preference.
But yeah any ginger is good , then ginger from the markets.
I find mostly stuff like this:
It isn't really very specific about anything. What does "over-watering" actually mean? https://newengland.com/today/living/gardening/how-to-grow-ginger-indoors/
From experience, I can tell you that my ginger sends up tall leaves (2-3 feet or just under a meter tall) and that they all die back once per year. It is a slow-growing plant, so each year there isn't a lot of extra ginger to harvest without depleting the roots for growing next year's crop. I have my pots behind my south-facing glass patio door, so it does get lots of light in the Summer and as much as possible for our climate in the Winter. As I said, I water once per week and depending on the temperature, sometimes the soil actually dries out before I water again. Whether or not this is the optimal condition, I don't know.
so its like more of a combo science for ginger i guess, the light, water and weather everything and then instincts and doubts
The lady next door found the name of the plant. It is called, Greater Celandine and is part of the poppy family. There is also a Lesser Celandine that is part of the Buttercup family, but that is not the plant she said cures warts. She even believes that when you use the sap of the Greater Celandine, it induces some sort of resistance in your body so that no more warts grow. It could be coincidence, but that was her experience, because she used it on her daughter and her daughter never had any more warts since then.
See https://www.google.com/search?q=celandine+plant&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=aVYAhva_7u1wgM%253A%252Cik6uph4dH1wkqM%252C%252Fm%252F05pdxb&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSx_gjh8o6gotGozACTjQ61pXJ7Dg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi818aD4b7iAhVMHTQIHYWuDc4Q_B0wEnoECAoQBg#imgrc=aVYAhva_7u1wgM: for a picture of the plant she showed me. She even gave me one to plant in my garden.
She has such knowledge, plus it worked for her daughter, so reliable in a way. Thanks for sharing it with me :)
