Sunday Stills challenge today is the word, bitter. We don't get bitter cold here in the Creston Valley- at least, not like we did back in the 70's. And I don't have any bitter disappointments or bitter people in my life. What I do have, is bitter herbs; in particular the ones I feed Beamer for his arthritis.
Every morning, I take a teaspoon of dandelion root,
and a teaspoon of burdock root...
My kitchen is starting to look like an apothecary
I also make myself a tea of a tsp. of dandelion and of burdock

I've heard a lot about the benefits of dandelion tea for arthritis etc, even as a cancer cure. I am going to give it a try, if I can find some. (No cancer, just a preventative) Where do you get your? We still hav three months, at least before spring. :-{
Nutters sells it, or a health food store. It ain't cheap! When you harvest your own, make sure it is an unsprayed area, and spring or fall the root will have the most potency. Dry it at low temps- I used a dehydrator. It's a good idea to cut it into small bits before drying.
I didn't know burdock was good for anything except getting rid of....I'll have to try it next spring. Great post and pics.
I'm going to check our health food store for some dandelion root, and so forth. make that tea for myself because I am quite her my aching bones would benefit from it a lot.
