Elderflower

The elderflowers are out early this year. Last year that lead to an exceptionally long season. Just in case that's not so this year, I've frozen a few to make lemonade when I've a bit more time. Will post the recipe then.

dandelion/skin tag update

I've been meaning to write an update on the effectiveness of dandelions on skin tags, as I had one on my neck. I used the latex for a week as I would for a wart, applying morning and evening. after a few hours the latex oxdises to a black, and you rub it off and re-apply.


After about a week, the rubbing made the tag bleed a little, but there was no sign of it looking any smaller. I would have expected a wart to look like it was getting smaller in this time, so I discontinued.

A week later, I rubbed my neck and thought it had been bleeding again as it felt like dried blood. When I looked, it had dropped off. There is now no sign that it ever existed.

If any one fancies testing it on moles....
