@owl pole week is quite a STRONG medicine...
BTW, The root has a lot of saponins in them and it made a fantastic lathering shampoo (getting a good lather from plants can be challenging so I really thought I was on to something) - but oh my gosh, the headache I got from it... that was dumb. Check out the big poke weed behind me in this video...
And the home made shampoo disaster! LOL

Just a fun tangent, but on the topic of pokeweed.

What is Black Seed Oil? Don't think I have ever heard of it. Is it a specific type of seed I assume but what kind? Would love to prevent our bouts with bronchitis every year. Especially now. My brother is also diabetic and one of the medicines they had him on has now caused partial Kidney failure. So tired of modern medicine where the side effects are as bad or worse than what you are trying to treat or cure.

It's just called black seed oil. It is from black cumin seeds.

Sharie Thank you. I will look for it.

So...can you make the oil or would incorporating the seeds work? I can get the seeds in the store (or at least I used to be able to). I wonder if I could grow it here too.

Something I neglected in my original list of antibacterials was Mullein.
Mullein is a great antibacterial agent as well as an anodyne for middle ear infections. Stops the pain and then takes care of the infection. While it is known as an expectorant for respiratory infections, Mullein also offers some antibacterial assistance.

It appears that I missed Cottonwood Bud tincture on my list of antibacterial agents, too.
Good one for respiratory infections and topical infections.
