About this episode
Today, we discuss the medicinal use of three plants, Nandina or Heavenly Bamboo, Oputntia or Prickly Pear Cactus and Physocarpus opulifolius, Eastern Ninebark. All of these plants are very potent medicinally and often considered to be weeds. I particularly like Prickly Pear Cactus because it could not only save your life but is one of my favorite wild foods!Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902 Judson Carroll - YouTubeTune of the week: Coffee Blues or Lovin' Spoonful on GuitarThis is my version of Mississippi John Hurt's "Coffee Blues", which is more commonly called "Spoonful Blues" or "Lovin' Spoonful". Different versions of the song were recorded by Pappa Charlie Jackson, Carlie Patton and countless others throughout the years. It is one of the classics of the genre and fairly easy to play. Hurt's easy going, laid back style makes this one a real joy to play!https://youtu.be/UtRNrzEE2UYNew 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://
