Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 My favorite use for taro is to grate and mix 4 or 5 parts taro with 1 part fresh grated ginger. Add enough white flour to make a poultice. Put 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick on (your hand for one thing) for 2 hours, then change to a new poultice for 2 hours. Speeds healing fantastically!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 I posted the taro plaster to . Since Guido broke 's hand, he needs help. Imagine your friend breaking you hand! Sheesh!!! I also posted it and used in the past. If it does not come up in a search on archives, let me know and I will post the string of wonders it has performed. <s> Gayla Always Enough Ranch Acampo, California http://bouncinghoofs.com/alwaysenough.html Bill Barnhill is our Inspiration!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 I was reading that raw taro root is toxic, but mashed taro root (poi) is very healthful, especially when it is allowed to ferment for a few days.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 This is GREAT Gayla!! I've been trying to use more poutices (is that the proper plural for poltice?) lately. And this is the type of info on taro I was looking for. Thanks! " We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Sorry about that! It's called Har Mart, and it is off of . Take Havana to , turn right, go about half a mile or so, and it's in a shopping center on the right. I could EASILY spend hundreds of dollars there on a lark, if I had the money. **are you riding that lark again?** Hush Guido!! I'm still not too good at the whole " north and south " type directions here. I landmark. We go every Friday with our daughter, one of us buys what we both need and split it. Then the next friday, the other pays. I just dehydrated about 6 onions and peppers. The place smelled WONDERFUL! And the sweet taste of the onions was incredible. " And the Small and Sorry Rabbit rushed through the mist at the noise, and it suddenly turned into Tigger; a Friendly Tigger, a Grand Tigger, a Large and Helpful Tigger, a Tigger who bounced, if he bounced at all, in just the beautiful way a Tigger ought to bounce.
