Search engines and my books are failing me today. I’m trying to find out how horsetail is used to stop external bleeding. I know it can be used as a poultice, but I’m not sure how that’s made. At what point in the growing season can it be used this way? Is it ground up by itself, or is water added? In a pinch, can it be chewed up and then put on a wound? #Herbalism #Horsetail #poultice #medicine

#Vss365 (#Gardener's version)

In 1812, the Brothers #Grimm told of #Folklore's Frau #Berchta, an #Alpine #Goddess.

The 5 #Petals of the #White #Christmas #Rose (#Helleborus niger) #Bloomed #Iridescent in her tracks. Berchta means #Luminous.

Niger refers to the #Black #Roots which were used to make a #Poultice during the #BlackPlague.

Berchta visited homes #Between #Christmas & #TwelfthNight to #Bless #Good children w/ #Gold coins & #Punish the #Naughty by stuffing their #Stomach-s w/ straw.

commonly called Christmas roses  because they bloom around
Christmas in warmer regions. 

The specific name 'niger', which means black, refers to the color of the brownish-black roots. 

The name may also refer to its use during the Black Plague. The roots were used as a poultice for the infected lymph nodes. 

One German name for the flower is Schwarzer Nieswurz, or "black sneezing root" - a reference to one of the first signs of Black Plaque - sneezing. 

Christmas Roses are highly toxic.
