can I root broken dahlia stems?
Comments (13)Thanks! I do have rooting hormone. I had pinched these plants heavily because I wanted them to be very short and bushy for containers. They are "windowbox" dahlias. I have 4 inches of "trunk" left in the pot, fortunately branched near the base. The storm was Monday night but the victim is still looking very bruised and battered, with limp leaves. Soil is soggy too from that rain plus another drencher 2 days ago. So now I'm anticipating rot too! I already have one of these, a different one, limp with what I assume is rot, from before this wind storm. The pot has drainage but somehow the holes have become plugged. It is ceramic and has a permanenetly attached saucer, so I can't get anything in there to ream out the holes. I have the pot on its side to drain out, hopefully. All the potted dahlias on the deck were damaged, but with the others I was able to stake them up and trim off small broken parts. Only one was flung totally upside down to the ground....See MoreAnyone have tailbone pain???
Comments (2)Have it checked out by a doctor. Tail bone pain can be from a bruised or cracked or broken tail bone or it could be a cyst. It could be a growth or bone spur. If it's a cyst or growth it will need to be removed and you may indeed have to use a cushon or pad but at least you will know what's wrong...See MoreMucilagenous comfrey for healing bones, bruises, arthritis
Comments (0)All mucilagenous herbs are used to soothe the digestive and respiratory systems, inclucing ulcers and sore throats, but there has been some concern about an association of comfrey and liver problems, and it is banned as a herbal remedy in several countries. I have no first-hand knowledge of any problems even though this herb has been consumed by many people I know for a lifetime without any ill effeccts. It is, however, recommended without reservation for external application. Every part of the plant can be uses and the fresh leaves and stems are easiest to use. For internal application, mucilagenous herbs need to be simmered to release the gelatenous property of the plant which heals bones, cartiledge, bruises, muscles. You can drink it in tea or use the leaves like spinach, or you can make a poultice by packing a mush of the leaves, raw, simmered, or frozen, around the affected part of the body. If the frexh leaves are not available, dried leaves or roots will do. Cover with plastic wrap and replace before they get smelly, at least twice a day. In Germany, comfrey is now only recommended for external use. Previously, its roots or leaves were used in "... teas, wines, tinctures, creams, poultices, and herbal baths for problems of muscles, joints, bones, wounds, infection, bruises, arthritis, fractures, swelling, varicose veins, stomach, and other ulcers ..." according to the renouned herbalist Maria Treben. For broken bones and arthritic joints, it is also beneficial to obtain the gelatenous ingredients of animal origin. The richest sources for boiling a gelatenous broth are chicken (or other bird) feet, veal and sheep (or other immature animal) bones. Boil the cartiledge until it is soft enough to eat. These remedies are most effective preventively, if used on a regular basis. You will see the effects in strong fingernails, healthy hair, and more flexible joints. Other mucilagenous plants are basswood blossoms and leaves (Linde), ground linseed (the seed of the flax plant), okra, and any other plant which feels gooey when chewed. Silica-containing herbs such as horsetail and enzyme-containing fruit such as pineapple and papaya are also helpful for the problems under discussion. Remember that calcium cannot be absorbed by the body without sufficient magnesium, the mineral which is leached out of the top soil by unnecessary watering which is rampant in North America. Chelated magnesium supplement is the most effective and it does not interfere with digestion as other forms of magnesium....See MoreHow to dissipate facial bruising quickly?
Comments (60)The staples and remaining stitches (some have already fallen out) will be removed tomorrow. I'll ask about makeup then. I went ahead and followed the suggestions above and ordered a slip on scarf cap to cover my forehead. The bruising under my eyes is a lot better tonight. The party is out of town next Saturday. I'm not sure about getting a pro to apply my makeup, I usually go very minimal with makeup and pros seem to want to make me look like someone that I don't recognize :-) I did get a couple of good concealers for the facial/undereye bruising. I had taken the dogs out for their 'last call' potties late last Monday evening and was looking the other way when my foot tangled with the patio chair. I grabbed the chair for support and it just flipped over and down I went. Hubby was in the house and would have come looking for me after a while. I was rather dazed after hitting my head, so just stayed on all fours for a bit until I felt safe to stand up and yell for him. In the ER, they questioned me quite a bit, I assume they thought that it was domestic violence. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015YEDFLW/ref=twister_B06VXDR1VC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1...See Moremariend
