When I was young, we lived in a poor and rural area, and my family only ate what we could grow or catch. Being far from any “medical care”, it was the norm to rely on herbs, roots, and folk remedies. In our modern society, we have gotten so far away from nature, and this type of knowledge. It would behoove us all to learn some of these things. From your comments, I trust your family will never go hungry. God bless you.
