Granny's gone and done it again

I think I've heard of this before. Not sure how that is done but it can't be worse than a mud bath.

You just put a handful of oats in the running water and soak in it. It makes the water slick and soothing.

Blue if nothing else works take a trip to the River Jordan and dunk in it 7 times. That can't hurt.

Thank you! But ... given the turmoil going on over there right now, I think I'll give this cure a hard pass.

I found some tea weed growing in my pea patch today. That is what my grandmother used to keep infection out of wounds.

Tea weed? Not familiar with that plant. Got pics?

I fell out of my favorite tangerine tree and landed on a piece of glass from a coke bottle. Punctured me pretty deep in my ankle. She pulled a few hand fulls of tea weed and boil them like they were mustard greens and then put them in a bucket and had me soak my foot for an hour or more. It healed quickly. No stitches. Had I been taken to a doc I think it would have been a shot and some stitches.

No but will take some tomorrow when it is light.

Good idea, then it doesn't clog the drain.

Long day, can't keep eyes open. Good night everybody, and God bless!

Tea weed is hated by farmers that grow soybeens, corn, wheat, etc. It's not easy to control. At least it wasn't back in the 70's.

And then the chickens get a treat.
