Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Doc Ian/anybody who knows---I am trying to find native plants in my area that will offer materials for a heart formula that I could concoct. Wondering if I HAVE to have hawthorn berries in it, because Hawthorn berries are not native here, and won't even grow here. So surely there is something else. I am researching native plants,then have to positively ID them, and am wondering what type of properties the formula needs to have in it. Does one that fights pulmonary inflamation something good to go in there? Actually making something is a LONG ways off-too much to learn for quite a while. Just wanting to learn everything I can right now. What about diruetic -is that included? Yeah, I'm always asking impossible questions! love,Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Well for a start, you can grow Cayenne Peppers in your house by a window and no heart formula would be complete without it. Where do you live. Hawthorne grows just about anywhere. Also excellent are, Red Clover Blossoms, Motherwort, Garlic, Ginger root, but Hawthorne is best.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Ian I live in Okeechobee Fl. You know, Lake Okeechobee. Nobody here knows of any Hawthorn and its not listed as growing here.... I could see if I can find a tree or bush or whatever they are in a catalog somewhere.

I just found out yesterday that the MayHaw (famous for jelly) is a Hawthorn with all the same properties of every other Hawthorn. It's native to all the southern states and should be easy to find at any nursery that sells native trees. Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Dena- I called my aunt and she says May Haw doesn't grow down here. She says she has heard of it though, and it grows up in Maclenden, (don't know how to spell it) Fl. So I guess all I can do is hope to find a catalog with native trees in it. Would you believe none of my seed and plant catalogs even have trees of any kind in them!! grr Now I have to figure out how to find catalogs with the trees I need in them. And how to get ahold of Mayhaw asap and get it growing down here if I have to stand by it and hold its hand to grow!!!! love,Elaine - <cpdena <herbal remedies > Thursday, March 22, 2001 8:51 AM Re: [herbal remedies] What makes a Heart Formula anyhow? > > Nobody here knows of any Hawthorn and its not listed as growing here....

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 I was once told that you couldn't grow a Ginkgo Biloba in Florida as it was too hot. There is an 8 foot Ginkgo growing outside my old house in Clearwater doing quite nicely. My bet is that a Hawthorne would grow quite well if you took the time to plant it and care for it.
