The Benefit of using Blackberry Leaf as a natural cure
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Rubber Vine) – “All parts may cause severe stomach and intestinal upset. Cases of death have been reported from India. The leaf is toxic. Dry vine emits an eye-irritating dust which may induce coughing and swelling” (CRC).
Ointments can be made in a variety of ways, but I have found the recipe below the easiest to use. You can use fresh or dry herbs, and the other ingredients can be bought from a chemist. You can use a variety of herbs, the most common being calendula or comfrey leaf.
Dosages (Mallow) – 1.5 g flower/cup water (HHB); up to 5 g flower/day (HHB); 5 g flower or leaf/day (PIP); 2-3 tsp (3.2-4.8 g) leaf in cold tea (MAD); 3-5 g/cup 2-3 ×/day (PH2); 2-8 ml liquid extract (PNC).
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Longleaf Pine) – Commission E reports contraindications for EO: whooping cough; adverse effects: local irritation, exacerbation of bronchospasms (AEH). Though approving pure turpentine for “Chronic disease of the bronchii with heavy secretion” (which I translate to bronchosis), Commission E contraindicates for acute inflammation of the respiratory tract. Inhaled turpentine may reduce bronchial secretion (KOM). Even topical application to too much surface area may damage the CNS and kidneys (KOM). Turpentine is a counterirritant and rubefacient. Though also taken internally, turpentine might best be relegated to topical uses, if any.
