HERBAL ACONITE MONKSHOOD .

OOOOOOOOoooooooo what is this Faerieflora? its Wonderful :)

Thank you Jacque...The plant is an Aconite Moonkshood and is very poisonous. Introduced into Britain in the 10th century. It is used in some herble remedies.Though I am surprise how tall it has grown this year. The bees love, Inspite of it's reputation so do I.

Yours are well ahead of mine - and how does yours stay upright? I have to support mine....

They are not supported, I am astonished they are standing tall after all the high winds last week, and it is even blustery today. It might be due to the fact they are in a sheltered position.

Usually, they fall over at a certain height - but earlier this year I asked for advice on plant supports and for the clumps of Aconites I have used long twiggy pieces, which seems to be working well!

Excellent... Have you noticed a pleasant, sweetish odour comming from them? All this week when I have been near them, I kept getting a draft of it. I noticed it even more this afternoon whilst I was gardening near them. When I get up close to them, I smell nothing. Then the wind gets up, and there it is.

Even to touch can seep through your skin and give paputations to the heart. I have one mine stays straight too.

This year I have wondered weather or not to dig it up because of how lethal this plant can be. I have till Spring next year to decide.

Well I have had mine now for 11 years and I thought the same but what the heck I have had 9 grandchildren playing in my garden and animals that visit every day and have cut it down with bare hands, and no one is dead yet, could come in handy if some one upsets me lol hehe haha

Oh Morgana if you put it like then, consider my mind changed. Lol yes it may be a useful as a silent but deadly weapon. There is much to be learnt about plants.

There certainly is Faerieflora, sage is good for ulcers in the mouth just rinse with sage

Yes Morgana, it is a very powerful healing herb. Also good for grey hair. I love Sage. This year I have made quite a collection of the plants. Quote:- "The desire of sage is to render man immortal" So chuck away your beauty creams, and use sage as a tea, hair rinse, mouth wash. The list is endless.

Lol I don't use any creams, I did nt know it done all the rest of this very interesting, I am not one who cares of growing old gracefully I am 55 and would rather grow old gracefully. I shall try the tea as I do drink a lot of tea, surprised I am not poisoned by the amount I drink, also going to try nettle tea as a nurse on other site has recomended. She also recomended eat things with seeds in it too.

Yes she is quite right, seeds are good for us, that does not mean budgie seeds. There are hemp seeds, berries with seeds, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds are brilliant. try them with yogurt and honey for breakfast. They will give you a sense of well being and also fill you up with goodness.

Thank you for that information I will try it out, thanks
