My grandfather had hunting dogs. One of them got bitten by a snake on the head. So, he wrapped a small towel soaked in vinegar around the dog's head to draw the poison out. It worked and the dog survived.
Feeling much better with right product and right dose but it has been months of playing patient, doctor and Pharmacist on my own. Raw thyroid gland and a few targeted food items seems to be working. Blessings to all Shepherdess in the world. I wear wool a lot just want a pelt. I bought one for each of my grandchildren as infants and it was the perfect all purpose comfort for years.
You must ensure that you get out every single tiny part of the root or they will all regrow. But the roots are where the medicine is - great for the digestion, for the liver and more. xx
Well thank you for your bit of spring delight! I have had and used vinegar as a staple in my household for years, perhaps not all the uses you tell of, and I have one you don't mention. I use apple cider vinegar for my skin eruptions (you do recommend it), of the itchy rash variety! Here in western U.S. there are poison oak plants, similar to poison sumac I've heard, and I am a frequent sufferer of the awful rash it can bring! It has strong volatile oils, which can remain on the furry coats of dogs and cats to transfer to the pet-patting person. Moi! Anyway, I dab cider vinegar on the rash to dry it up as quickly as I can. It works well, especially if you catch it before it's infected. I also often use a mix of the facial clay with hydrosol of lavender, and that quickly sucks out the poison oak 'juice' from skin. I use vinegar in my wash and for household cleaning, in my hair rinse...but still haven't tried using it in a tincture. I do want to try that too. Thanks; the information presented, your enthusiasm, and as always the joy of pets is all very cheering for the aching heart!
Hello Terri, thank you for all the information about vinegar.
Please share the outcome of the cat-repellent with us!
Do you think the queen-of-hungary water could be made with some honey in it? Since it is antimicrobial as well it could enhance the benefits of the vinegar and the herbs, couldn't it?
I do use meadowsweet mainly for headaches as anti pain remedy. The use for an upset stomach was new to me! (As far as I know it was used for "sweetening" beer or met, maybe they put it in it to make the hang over less worse the next day:less headache and no upset stomach😉)
Hi Sabine, you are right about the name on Meadowsweet, from an old anglo-saxon word I believe. Why not add a little tsp of honey - it won't hurt and these old recipes are meant to be made our own! xx
Thank you for the ending with peaceful energy from Jazz. That is pure love. Kittens are beautiful. The uses for apple cider vin. are going to help me a lot. I am having a lot of trouble with new medications for thyroid with heartburn. Have tried everything but this before dinner plan. My Sunday treat Danu's Herb Garden just lovely. Blessings to all of you.
You are right Tacy, Jazz is beaming out love and peace to all from her very loving heart. Blessings to you too and hope you resolve this health issue asap xx
oh my gosh, do let me know if that kitten deterrent works! Not quite planting time here yet--we are stil deep in snow! We've used the ACV chicken water supplement for years, especially with our newly hatched ones. Love to see you doing many of the things I do all the way over here in Canada!
Women - we have a universal and international connection. It is lovely to know we are all doing the same things. I will let you know. We haven't seen any disturbance since but rain coming tonight so will have to keep checking. xx

Thank you so much Anne, really appreciate your kind words and I am sure others in US will appreciate your use of vinegar for Poison Oak. xx

Curious kittens, tug of war dogs and a bottle of vinegar. Every home should have them.
Ha ha - I agree!

Thanks for sharing new ideas for using vinegar! It is always in my pantry!
Glad it was helpful - there are hundreds more uses too!
