    I have some elecampane growing in my yard. I have never done anything with it yet. I know my friend as made a tincture with it in the past

      It is for lung issues, but I don’t know what to do with it yet. I want to grow as much medicinal herbs as I can. Never know what a person might need. I also have Toothache plant too.

        I have a toothache plant also ~ but don’t know how to use it or process and store it. It has the most interesting “blooms” on it. How do you use it?

        Thank you~ Becky

        I have read about toothache plant but can’t remember how to use it. I believe you just chew on a piece of it but not sure. I’ve got to read about it,I read about to many different herbs and forgot what to do with the different one. Lol!

        I have to share some pictures with y’all. My horse heal is about 10 feet tall and blooming so beautifully. My toothache plant is beautiful as well you cannot ask for more blooms.

        What a beautiful toothache plant. Mine are still pretty small but have some flowers.

        Try eating a leaf from the. Coolest feeling. If you’re brave, pop in a flower bud. I was spitting for several minutes but the tingling is very cool and my mouth felt amazing afterwards.

        I’m going to try to make a mouthwash from it.

        I chewed a leaf up last year but not the flower. It was weird for sure, about like going to the dentist and getting a shot to getting your teeth worked on. I will have to look in to make the mouthwash.
