Loving this challenge and I now have my post up for it at: https://steemit.com/naturalmedicine/@porters/my-love-affair-with-nettles

Brilliant, @porters! Don't forget to drop it in our post promotion too, and comment on one other in the channel. That way, us NM can all see and engage with it. xx

Did you mean the post promotion on the Discord channel or is there another post promotion place?

OK, new here so do not have much power for resteeming and upvotes but I did both. I have company this week so hopefully next week there will be time to join in on the contest. Thanks for this opportunity. <3

I have a story i'd love to share, but I'd have to re-write it since you want me to explain the science of it.

Come to think of it, I can't explain the science of it. Oh well, guess I'll have to give this one a miss.

No no you don't absolutely need to explain the science and given you a professional that lectures in TCM your post would carry an authority all of its own. We would absolutely love you to write your story. In doing so you would also really support the community and we would all appreciate it very much. The more people enter the better for all. Please do write

Great contest! I'm already composing my post getting ready. Question- How do I use the NaturalMedicine banner in my post? Is their a code for it or do I just copy the image and upload it?

Copying and pasting the image is absolutely perfect. If you would like to know how to centre it let me know. Now that you have your fancy headings I'm sure your post will look great! So glad you are entering and look forward to reading it.

Yes, I'd like to know how you center it when you copy and paste. Thanks!

I really love to joint this challenge but, I won't be able to make one post a day. But, I helped this by resteem for more visibility @naturalmedicine

thankyou @el-nailul. What do you mean, one post a day? You only need to make one post for the contest :)

We're also promising to upvote your posts, every day, for a whole week, following the contest (one post per day). How cool is that!!

I thought I must make one post per day..:D

Oh no.. we will.only.upvote one post a day... just in case you wrote 20 a day!

Ohh well, I see..I will make a post, but cannot promise any thing now @naturalmedicine. I wish I can make something good for others

Great contest @naturalmedicine.

Hi! We'll put out a reminder post this week, so there's about a week and a bit to go. We'd love as many entries as possible, but we're terrified of judging as it's going to be so hard!!

Ok, thanks. I am gonna try to put my experience on paper this week with a wonderful plant medicine. Good luck with the judging! 🍀💚

Thanks!! The Week 1 round up comes out on the 8th ish, and the due date is around Aug 15th x

Here is my entry :) Thanks for hosting this amazing and inspiring contest @naturalmedicine! https://steemit.com/naturalmedicine/@sagescrub/growing-food-gave-me-a-new-life-food-is-medicine

alright! excited to take part in this: here's mine!!! :D this was awesome to write XO

It was AWESOME to read!!

I am probably too late for you contest, but that is fine. I LOVE Herbal medicine, and use it heavily. I just finished three posts on how to make Comfrey Tincture. Here are the links:

https://steemit.com/herbal/@smithlabs/making-comfrey-tincture-at-home-part-one-the-decoction-process

https://steemit.com/herbal/@smithlabs/first-extraction-of-comfrey-after-decoction

https://steemit.com/herbal/@smithlabs/final-extraction-of-comfrey-by-steam

Comfrey is a vulnerary which means it accelerates healing by encouraging cell division. The active ingredient is Allintoin which stimulates hyaluronic acid which is the mortar the body uses to bind cells together. I find that a fomentation of a Comfrey Tincture, left on overnight, sealed to stay moist, does wonders with joint and muscle damage. A bruise will disappear overnight under the same treatment. The single best use of Comfrey Tincture is treating arthritis, it is very successful at that. All of this is well documented, but I found one other use that is NOT in the Books.

Since Comfrey stimulates hyaluronic acid production, which is the mortar the body uses to bind cells together, I decided to try it on a brown Recluse spider bite (actually seven of them) That a sweet Lady from my church was unlucky enough to receive. She went to her MD, he sent her home with pain medicine, and antibiotics to reduce the rot. I based this treatment on the fact that the Recluse venom destroys the same hyaluronic acid that Comfrey stimulates. I hoped to minimize the tissue death, by supplying some replacement acid. What I found was that the Comfrey actually make hyaluronic Acid faster than the venom can destroy it. Her bites, except a pimple where the first bite occurred, were gone the next morning. The pimple was gone the second morning. I have tried this twice more with identical results.

NOW, it Should work for snake bites, because they act the same way; but I thankfully have been unable to try this! I hope I never need to, but the theory is sound! :D

You are NOT too late!! Check post today.. another week to go! X Comfrey is the mother of all herbs in my book. Would love you.to write this with NM tag and banner.x

@smithlabs join us on the discord!!!

I would be happy to tag and banner, if you tell me how, LOL Just got on discord last week...don't know how yet. :)

@smithlabs, just copy and paste this banner into your posts and use #naturalmedicine as your first tag - too easy! Here it is:

NaturalMedicineBanner.jpg

Sorry, I was trying to copy the banner that was right by the rule on banners, and it wouldn't copy. Think I got the post right now. :D

Ah, yes, I saw it - about to share it. Thankyou! The banner is meant to go right at the bottom, but it doesn't matter - you got that banner in, that's the main thing! xx

Sorry, But I thought it looked good at the top, LOL! Is this acceptable for me to include on future herbal posts (I will put it at the bottom)? I use herbs for 100% of my medicine now, and My Wife is down to just a couple of Prescriptions.

I make all my own capsules, and have begun growing my own herbs on the new land We just bought.

Sorry about the Discord, it does Not like my Linex operating system, so I had to buy a tablet just for Discord. Still getting used to both; at the same time. :)

Following this feed now! I shall even consider a nice write up in a future week, too busy and down to the wire right now to get a post out.

One clarification, do you mean the liquid half of the rewards? Its pretty technical, but because of the current high debt load we are getting very little sbd right now and mostly liquid steem for our liquid half of the payout.

Yes we have been considering that for sure. We will absolutely reward folk adequately according to what's best for them..💚🍏
