Fw: HERB - oak moss

[Joe Parris]

Oak moss, thank the Govenrment for me knowing this, is the moss usually 
found on most oaks, if they have it. it can also be found on some other 
hardwood trees. It is, for the most part, a tasty moss, especially since I 
was pretty much forced to eat some. It can also be strained and brewed in a 
tea, that I found to help in relieving stomach cramps............finding 
food was rough that week...hehe.
