Show 249; Lyonia, Manfreda virginica and Myrica

Southern Appalachian Herbs

Today, we discuss the medicinal use of three interesting shrubs, Lyonia or Staggerbush, Manfreda or Rattlesnake Master, and Myrica, wax myrtle or bayberry. These plants have a fascinating history of use in everything from snake bites to fevers, colds and flus, to hallucinogenic beers and colonial candles!  Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTube Tune of the week: Carolina Breakdown My version of Etta Baker's "Carolina Breakdown". It is a fairly simple tune in the key of E, but it has a few little tricks that show the ragtime influence on her playing. https://youtu.be/56j6FFsnT0Y New today in my Woodcraft shop: Toasted Holly Cooking Spoon https://judsoncarrollwoodcraft.substack.com/p/toasted-holly-cooking-spoon Email: judson@judsoncarroll.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/support Read about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54 Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.html Available in paperback on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTH and Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faith https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.html Available in paperback on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK Visit my Substack and sign up for my free newsletter: https://judsoncarroll.substack.com/ Read about my new other books: Medicinal Ferns and Fern Allies, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/11/medicinal-ferns-and-fern-allies.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMSZSJPS The Omnivore’s Guide to Home Cooking for Preppers, Homesteaders, Permaculture People and Everyone Else: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-omnivores-guide-to-home-cooking-for.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKX37Q2 Medicinal Shrubs and Woody Vines of The American Southeast an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/06/medicinal-shrubs-and-woody-vines-of.html Available for purchase on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2T4Y5L6 and Growing Your Survival Herb Garden for Preppers, Homesteaders and Everyone Else https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/04/growing-your-survival-herb-garden-for.html https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4LYV9R The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Bitter Herbs: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-encyclopedia-of-bitter-medicina.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5MYJ35R and Christian Medicine, History and Practice: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/01/christian-herbal-medicine-history-and.html Available for purchase on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09P7RNCTB Herbal Medicine for Preppers, Homesteaders and Permaculture People: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2021/10/herbal-medicine-for-preppers.html Also available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09HMWXL25 Podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/show/southern-appalachian-herbs Blog: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/ Free Video Lessons: Herbal Medicine 101 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7QS6b0lQqEclaO9AB-kOkkvlHr4tqAbs
