Arnica Flowers

 

Now these are flowers I see often in the wilderness.
Apparently you can find cremes made from them to use for joint pain.
It is supposed to be as strong as ibuprophen.
I was told Ibuprophen destroys the liver and is not good for you
to take internally, daily.

So I guess I will look to see if I can either buy some creme from the natural food store
to see if it works. My knees have become painful from all the wet weather we have here in BC.
If it does, I may go on a crusade to collect them and try to make my own cremes.lol

Dandelions, another weed we kill, is required for our dwindling bee population.
Honey, has extreme benefits for the immune system
It is also very healthy for people as it's full of anti oxydents.
Great as an anti inflammatory and for the spleen and liver, it's
rich in calcium, chromium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, selenium, silicon, zinc
Eat the leaves fresh in salads or boil them.
I remember our Italian neighbors used to grow huge dandelion crops in summer.
Clip off the yellow flower blossoms and cook them:
1 cup milk , 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 egg, 1 cup flour,  pinch of pepper,  Dandelion blossom,  shot of cooking oil

Wow!

Now I've become a weed eater lol

Chick weed and clover tea is also great as an anti cancer  brew.

So now you have tons to do this summer out on the plains of our great and beautiful country.
