Wow! That was a really interesting comment @. It led me to try to find out more. Here’s a great article on how where and why it was used: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-humble-moss-helped-heal-wounds-thousands-WWI-180963081/
I see a lot of this around my area (we live in peat moorlands). One of the places they collected sphagnum miss for WW1 (Longshore) is a local place where we’ve spent a lot of time. The little star moss has always been my fav.
Another plant in the arsenal! Even more fascinating to me is another piece of evidence, from the article, that keeping the internal ph acidic is a key to good health and prevention of disease.
Yes! When they were talking about the moss producing sugars I was thinking of jam making and how the sugars preserve the fruit but I think this process is similar but more complex than simple jam!
The answers have been there all along staring us in the face and we doubted.
Ezekiel 47:12King James Version (KJV)
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. "THE LEAF THEREOF FOR MEDICINE!!!!!"
@gandyfloss you were asking me about this some time back.
Thanks @handofzara
