About this episode
Today, we discuss the medicinal use of three interesting shrubs, Lyonia or Staggerbush, Manfreda or Rattlesnake Master, and Myrica, wax myrtle or bayberry. These plants have a fascinating history of use in everything from snake bites to fevers, colds and flus, to hallucinogenic beers and colonial candles! Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTubeTune of the week: Carolina BreakdownMy version of Etta Baker's "Carolina Breakdown". It is a fairly simple tune in the key of E, but it has a few little tricks that show the ragtime influence on her playing.https://youtu.be/56j6FFsnT0YNew today in my Woodcraft shop:Toasted Holly Cooking Spoonhttps://judsoncarrollwoodcraft.substack.com/p/toasted-holly-cooking-spoonEmail: judson@judsoncarroll.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/supportRead about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTHandConfirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B
