SC - mead/honey/bread yeast

[Gedney, Jeff]

      Hummm, I apologise if some get this twice, but I got this back with a
message that it had "Exceeded the hop count"--whatever *that* means! Since I
didn't get my usual copy of the message, I thought I'd better resend
it............

      Well! Ya'll may not get *all* my violet roots, after all! One of the
most
 knowledgable folks on that mundane herb list I mentioned just happened to say
 that she had a paper about violets webbed at :
 http://sunsite.unc.edu/herbmed/neat-stuff/viola.html
       She had the following to say about the roots:
 
 "Violet roots are antipyretic, diuretic, expectorant, emollient, emetic and
 cathartic. Violet root is used for reducing coughs, cooling fevers, and
 soothing sore feet. It can be toxic in excess. In Europe cough syrup is made
 from violet root. Viola odorata root tincture (5-15 drops per day) or Viola
 tricolor (pansy) root tincture (5-25 drops perday) are used for respiratory
 distress, to cool fevers and break up mucus.Pansy root tincture reduces
 congestion and moves urine. Viola odorata root tincture also calms coughs,
 reduces inflammation, clears the lingering effects of pertussis and reduces
 hysteria. The fresh or dried roots, crushed and steeped for several hours in
 vinegar are used to poultice sore, hot, infected feet and the feet of
 diabetics."
 
      Sounds like Iike I'll have to play a bit--and what she had to say about
 the leaves made me feel guilty about the ones I pulled out of the strawberry
 bed tonight. Oh, well, there's *Plenty* more left! ;-) No, didn't have time
to
 go after the roots in that bed--that'll have to wait for next week at the
 earliest...........
