In the spring, back in the holler, old people would make a spring tonic dad always made his from sassafras root, he dug it early to cure in time for spring when other plants filled the hillsides, like goldenseal and gensing I know that's not all, but there's some things a kid don't want to remember.....that stuff tastes awful combined together.

"Drank this" he would say "it'll clean the worms out of you" oh and that it did for about two days the outhouse was home.

But the sassafras roots boiled into a tea alone honestly wasn't bad at all.

That spring tonic just maybe what the world needs right now 😫 🤣🤣🤣
