I'm finding so many natural cures in wildflowers and herbs that are so much better than the drugs we are given. Back home we almost never saw a regular doctor because my grandfather was our healer. He used natural herbs and wildflowers that grew in the forest. And we were much healthier than we are today. However you do have to know how to prepare these things so you need to look it up on line or buy a book on natural cures.

Wildflowers are uncultivated vegetation.
In forests and towns growing without cultivation.

Like most they are used in home medication.
Dandelions are nutritious and can ease pain's vexation.

Fever few staves off migraine attacks while,
Low immune is boosted by berries and chamomile.

Our bloating and gas is helped by chamomile tea,
While sore throat pain is helped with a bit of honey.

Eucalyptus oil can help make sinus pain moot.
Retaining water and PMS, try some chaste tree fruit.

Send out for a book on natural cures.
Don't poison yourself with drugs bought in stores.

Bravo! Absolutely! They nearly killed me in the hospital in 2018; told me not to come home because I was going to die. I have an integrative physician now who has me on a strict regimen of herbs, and vitamins and I'm still here and kicking. I would be dead if I'd stayed in that hospital. Wonderful piece.

I wish to God people would do this. My doctor ruined me maybe for the rest of my life for what he let be injected into me 4 years ago (and which I took myself off of) The demon Big Pharma continues to endure because medical schools are funded by the elite rich who wish to keep us down and see us get sicker. The more of their drugs we take, the sicker we get and Big Pharma keeps winning. How I wish this world would change!!!

Some wildflowers and uncultivated vegetation work I do agree my friend, and in some cases people try them when all else fails. As for Chamomile tea, in Greece people don't know what Earl Grey or five roses tea is they ask for a chamomile tea and that normally is because they are feeling sickly! Enjoyed you write Judy blessings Jennifer.

Hello Judy … of course this is how indigenous tribal folk overcome ailments before being invaded. Wildflower medicinal plants ask for nothing and give all they can, but of course it's all about a quick fix these days - thank you Judy - Lindsay

Thanks for the education, Judy. I'm especially intrigued by dandelions, as they're readily available in my area... Have to try them. Tip of the hat to you, Doctor Ball. ~ Your not-so-humble patient

That is sound advice Judy, all the cures we need are found in woodlands, the amazon rainforest is a treasure trove. But the big pharma companies would rather poison us with pills for this and that, some you are given counteract the side effects that others give you.They're making billions out of us. Tom
