[Herbalist] question

[Ginger]

Thanks so much for the help.  I am on the West Coast.  We have a serious problem with widows and recluse here.

Thanks again;

  Where are you?  I have some made up right now in spray bottles, I supplied 15 of them for Royal Gift baskets to the Meridian Crowns for Pennsic.  I always have some made up, it is the most popular thing I make and the most often requested (plus refill requests- we get BIG bugs here in Meridies!)
  I'll be at Tourney of the Foxes this weekend if you are anywhere near or know someone that is going -

    Sounds like my bug -bite lotion, always a popular item.  The ingredients are: 
    Alcohol, Echinacea Leaf and Root,

    Plantain Leaf, Yellow Dock Root,

    Garlic. Effective on stinging insect bites.



    I can't find where I've typed in the recipe, and don't have time right now to do it.  (Sorry).  The original came from "Growing and Using the Healing Herbs" by Gaea and Shandor Weiss, listed as the Bee Sting Lotion.

    It's basically a tincture, soak the ingredients in the alcohol, steep for a while (I usually go two weeks), then strain.  It is good on things other than insect bites as well, we used it on a bad crepe myrtle allergic reaction very successfully once as well.

      Hi--I normally just lurk on this list but I have a tough question.

      Some (considerable) time back someone posted to this list a recipe for a salve that was effective on Recluse spider bites.  I lost it when my computer crashed.

      Does anyone still have that info?

      Thanks in advance.
