Faye, you can take your super tonic every hour if you have to... did you wash out our wound? You can use super tonic to do this... I would add the golden seal to some distilled water and make a paste. Take a week of some immune boosters, echinacea or astralagus...also.Faye <drlyshand@...> wrote: What a timely tip! My son sells Rada kitchen knives and was setting up at the flea market. I was helping him before going into work and one was bumped and dropped, point first, about an inch (no kidding) into my leg. By the time I sat down and rolled my pants leg up, my sock was already soaked in blood to the point of getting in my shoe. I was stuck in the calf right under my knee. The lady setting up in front of him saw it and panicked. It really helped that she did. I work in an animal

hospital and have learned to deal with owners whose pet has been hurt in a fight or hit by a car. Her panic actually helped calm me down and remember my training. Grabbed my trusty first aid kit, stopped the bleeders and butterflied that puppy shut. Then applied a pressure bandage. I usually take the super tonic once a day but while I'm healing I've upped it to 2-3 times a day. Is that to much? And my goldenseal is in capsule form, should I put it on dry or wet it with something first? The doctors where I work insisted on me taking antibiotics and gave me 500 mg Cephalexin. I lived through a cleanse once and am in no hurry to repeat it so they are still in the bottle on the shelf.......just in case I guess.faye

Do you use Goldenseal root or leaves for an antibiotic? And/or what are the leaves used for?

There are three herbs that make great antibiotics and they are also anti-inflammatory. Goldenseal, St. swort, and Yerba Mansa. Apply a poultice or tincture before covering the wound. >

Faye, I usually take a tablespoon daily ..(somedays I don't get it).. only if I feel like maybe something is coming on or everyone around is getting ill do I take it more often... I'm not one to over do any herb.. and I like to give the body a chance to work on its own also. Super tonic usually works no matter if you take it every day or not.... I just feel it has more impact when not overdone ... just my thoughts. PS I hear the seeds and the garden!!!!Faye <drlyshand@...> wrote: My usual amount is about 2-3 tablespoons daily but Started twice daily and may even drink more. When I first started taking it I actually cried because it tasted so bad and was sooooo hot. I'd measure it out and mix it with water to take. Now I love the way it tastes and even pour cayenne pepper in/on

just about everything we eat. Before, a bell pepper was spicy to me, lol. When I stated my garden seeds this year, cayenne was one of the first seeds ordered.faye
