As you know, we do not eat potato leaves, but we do eat the tubers. Likewise, we eat the tomatoes, but not the toxic leaves. <br /><br />In this case of jewelweed, the juicy, pulpy stuff contains the medicine, which is contained in the stems. The leaves being very thin and waxy, contain very little usable pulp.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121288141677007319.post-59424345680445564752013-08-06T08:42:09.380-04:002013-08-06T08:42:09.380-04:00This is great.

It seems I hear more about stuff made from leaves than anything else.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933142140847383099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121288141677007319.post-87973136821795454882013-08-05T21:38:36.714-04:002013-08-05T21:38:36.714-04:00Thanks, Julie.

I think I might also try making some plantain, which I have found, first hand, is effective for bee stings and stinging nettles stings. It is effective for many of the same things as jewelweed, but adds care for wounds, scrapes, and such.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121288141677007319.post-64765690498810001212013-08-05T20:39:57.789-04:002013-08-05T20:39:57.789-04:00Bravo!

Thanks for the reminder to make some salves this year...I took a lecture once on top ten herbs and how to use them, and making salves was included. I've always wanted to, this has provided the inspiration. Thanks Moose Boots!<br />Julie Baumlisbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491044461309571172noreply@blogger.com
