Chaparral/aches

[Guest guest]

Chaparral tea is supposed to be a big help for ruematism. It reduces

inflamation. I know I had bursitis really bad, so that I could not hold

anything in my right hand. I started with one teaspoon to a quart of water,

and stuck to it though it is really bad tasting, and after six weeks of this

I had only a fraction of the problem, and after a while I no longer had any

problem at all.

Dear Penny:

Chapparal is extremely difficult to cutivate in a garden. However, it grows

in the desert, and is extremely common all over the southwestern US, and

there are relatives of this plant in a lot of other parts of the world also.

Once you identify it, it is easy to distinguish by its very distinctive

smell. It can be purchased, or if you like I can mail you a small sample,

as I picked a lot before I left the desert. It is so extremely common, and

is actually good for a number of problems, I wonder if there was not a good

reason it was made in such abundance. The odd thing, which you alluded to,

is that the US government is doing its best to prevent folks from using this

herb. I have even read of the classification of some minor differences in

supposed sub-species being classified as " endangered " so that the picking of

them would be grounds for prosecution. I am baffled by this, as there is so

much of it, probably in the range of hundreds of thousands or more acres of

it growing wild.
