My wifes right into that sort of stuff Juck,when my first boy was born it was in a high-tech hospital in Hong Kong,private,I still have a wad of receipts to present to him when he is working,pay-back time

My second son was born in a beach house 19 nautical miles from the closest town,an old woman came,rubbed snake-oil on my wifes stomach for an easy birth,placed herbs under her pillow for a morning birth,next morning out he popped easy as shelling peas from a pod,theres something in it

When I was in Cambodia the Khmer cook with marijuana,anyway,loads of back-packers flock to Phnom Penh so some of the locals realised there was a fortune to be made and started selling "Happy" Pizzas

Tried a few things now and remember my old gran used a few things from the fields.
When we had a cough she would make a syrup from elderberries and sugar to ease it we called it elder rob.

Fish, what type of nettles do you use?

If you break a Brackern Fern stem open and rub on skin it helps too soothe ant bites.
