GARLIC

(Allium sativum)

Common Name: Clove garlic.

Medicinal Part: The bulb.

Description: Garlic is a perennial plant that is widely cultivated as one of the most common kitchen herbs. The garlic bulb is compound, consisting of individual bulbs, or cloves, enclosed together in a white skin. The stem is simple, smooth, and round and is surrounded at the bottom by tubular leaf sheaths from which grow the long, flat, linear leaves. The stem is topped by a rounded umbel of small, white, usually sterile flowers, among which grow 20 to 30 small bulbs. The entire umbel is at first enclosed in a teardrop-shaped leaf (pointing upward) which eventually falls off.

Properties and Uses: Anthelmintic, antispasmodic, carminative, cholagogue, digestive, diuretic, expectorant, febrifuge. Garlic stimulates the activity of the digestive organs and therefore relieves various problems associated with poor digestion. As an expectorant, it is useful for chronic stomach and intestinal catarrh, as well as for chronic bronchitis. Garlic also regularizes the action of the liver and gallbladder. It is helpful for all intestinal infections, such as dysentery, cholera, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, and for problems due to putrefactive intestinal bacteria. The tincture of garlic lowers blood pressure and helps to counteract arteriosclerosis. Its beneficial effect on blood circulation and heart action can bring relief for many common body complaints. A cold extract of garlic can be used as an enema for intestinal worms, particularly pinworms. The problem with garlic is that when you use it you inherit the smell along with the benefits.

Preparation and Dosage: Gather bulbs in the fall.

Juice: Take ½ tsp. of the juice pressed from the bulb, thinned with water, 2 or 3 times a day.

Cold Extract: Let several cloves of garlic stand in ½ cup water for 6 to 8 hours.

Cloves: For coughs, take grated garlic mixed with honey.

Tincture: Let 1 Ib. peeled cloves soak in 1 qt. brandy for 14 days at a temperature of 85°F in a bottle with an airtight seal.

Shake several times a day. Strain when the time is up to get a tincture which will keep for about a year. Take 5 to 25 drops, several times a day, as needed.

Tap to zap someone and long press any of the amounts. From the following menu you can edit everything.

Digging the idea of nostr os more and more.

I envision a well designed desktop client with ability to launch any web or desktop based app. Built in key management so you only have to authenticate once. Built in wallet open with NWC and ability to add any new app in a simple manner via “install”

Seem to be a bit of a problem, or did I do something wrong?

Good Morning Nostriches! 🫂💜

That sexy son of a bitch Friday is here, I’ve been looking for them since Monday 🎉

It's possible that Google could lock the bootloader on future Pixel phones to only support officially Google signed boot images; it would lock out current GrapheneOS. Would they?

In that case, CalyxOS and /e/OS would be unaffected on the Fairphone. PureOS, Mobian, postmarketOS would still be on the PinePhone, Librem 5 and FairPhone.

Good Morning Nostriches!

The future is wet and wild today.

Who knew #Windows11 is such a shit show?

If you have a known WiFi configured, but alter the password; after failing to connect it'll kill the entire wireless section!

No place to alter the password, add any alternative WiFi networks, anything WiFi related basically ✌️😂

I don't think that would ever happen on #Linux 👊😎
