My herbal college is the oldest in North America. The antiquated language of the text speaks to my soul. Reading these texts is like talking to old friends. Now I am quite sure one of my angels was an early physician, and another is good at translating the Victorian lingo. The herbal usage here on the east coast versus the herbal training I received with First Nation/Native Americans and indigenous South Americans on the west coast is vastly different. More syrups, tinctures, and snuffs here, more plant spirit medicine, liniments, and ceremony there. The school likes to dispel myths about herbal usage that have arisen out of historical misunderstandings and political flareups between doctors. It's the best of both worlds. I like being able to talk to my snuff.
"Snuff for Offensive Catarrh"
28 grams of powdered goldenseal root
70 grams of powdered bayberry root
Sift through a fine sieve. Use several times as ordinary snuff."
I have yet to use this remedy. I am not recommending this herbal remedy as a treatment to cure or prevent any illness.
