Isabella one more note i would make - based on my experience at least. I make single herb tinctures rather than making blends - that way i can then blend...
Thanks Ros, that is what I had in mind as well. I am collecting my personal set of single tinctures at this point. The recipes I have found so far have a...

Quoting "Marta McCarthy" <misigilli@...>: <snip> ... I've made a herbarium, yes, and exhibited it, but never entered it in a competition. Mostly because...
Johanna, I was wondering, because I was tinkering with the idea. I know they bound them in books, but I had not found any information on how that was done. ...

Well, actually the term also applies to a room full of specimens. But the type of herbarium that interested me was the book of dried specimens, usually one to...
Johanna, May I ask if you have an actual bibliography? I saw the specimens on the pages, I had not noticed they were sewn. I also saw the pictures of the ...
I think if I were doing this I'd consider making paper from linen fiber as a subset. You could double-entry (or share with another artisan) by making linen...
Like Ros I make single tinctures and blend them later, it give you much more control of proportion too.I would recommend 2 books for anyone interested in...

It's been a while since I did this -- I'll see if I can find my sources. Johanna...
Morin, I'm pretty sure you are asking Johanna, but I thought to share the ones I found. The first one is called An Early Herbarium. Go to the website,...
Morin, That is indeed an amazing find. It's a Holy Period Merck Manual and then some. I want to be the scholar in the tower that just never emerges from her...

Ok, have been cruising the archives looking for a salve for Exzema, I know I have seen the recipe. Would whoever posted it please repost? I have a friend who...
I've had good luck with quaking aspen buds extracted in olive oil (smells like birch beer). I think coconut oil and vitamin E should be part of the mix too. ...
How interesting. I had no idea there was a Newbury in America. I live in 'real' old Newbury, although we were only called Newbury from medieval times!...
Greetings! My fresh roses, from the period species in the garden, are now simmering away! (Alba, damask, & apothecary) They've been chopped by a food...
I have a rosebush in my front yard that is going absolutely bonkers this year. I'm pretty sure it isn't a period type, but in fact I don't know what type it...
I shall wait curiously to hear the difference between frozen and fresh! What an awesome experiment! This is on my list of "things to do when I actually have...
Jack- I teach a class on herbal beads. I use dried rose petals (some are a couple of years old) and we use dried herbs-lavender, basil, etc. I don't "simmer"...
Hi Morin! Funny timing, this thread - I was doing some reading online yesterday and came across that very Nostradamus recipe. I found it interesting to note...
Greetings, ... If I recall correctly, the earliest references are just out of period. For beads, at least - Nostradamus' recipe is for "pastilles", little ...
