Just a funny little observation: has anybody ever noticed roots hitting the pots side & growing straight down, instead of winding around the pot sides? I'm thinking maybe because I had a tad too many lumens running & they were trying to excape the light? My roots always wrap around. I've never noticed this kind of root growth before. :)
no, i don't have your photobucket link. the first one I tried didn't work.
Yes I do Have a recipe Cat- I have had shingles that attacked my left ear - the nerve, and have pretty bad nerve pain in that ear with the weather, stress and wind too and the root oil actually helps it. I also have some neuropathy in my feet from a birth defect in them and this root oil gives me more relief than anything I have ever tried.
The root oil seems to be the best anti infammatory in the natural world - the Israeli's have been studying it and using it but I had a very difficult time getting any real info it so I have been playing with it. It seems to be pretty particular to nerve pain. Neuropathy's get relief within minutes and it lasts for a few hours, my mom's sciatica even got some relief although it wasn't gone completely it did seem to get to a place where she could walk better. She likes it with a little of the leafy extract cooked down into it ( yes my house looks like a mad scientist experimenting quite a bit )
So try this for your ear - I use a q-tip and put the oil in the actual canal and get relief right away- it lasts until I get back out into the weather again. I used to get this terrible burning that would last for hours - haven't had that since the first application- over 2 months now.
If you get leafy material and make an elixir- add about half and half of elixer and oil - cook on low til the alcohol evaporates, turns the oil green but my mom likes this lotion better, says it helps with more than nerve pain? I'm still trying to figure it out so let me know if you try and how it works. I have started to change the way I do things a little- working to get more roots then I used to so anything you know that makes roots grow please point me in that direction.
I have given this oil out to a few trusted friends and asked them to use and report back - not quite a controlled experiment- but I really just did this to get my own relief, didn't really think I would find something that works so good lol! I have only had one person that said they didn't notice anything, funny thing is- he is the only one on a regular dose of opiates….
Ranger- I didn't really think that the pot would work either but tried it because my little heater went out- I used 4 of these for a room about 10 x 10 and after about an hour that room was toasty at close to 80 degrees! - This is something great to have around your closet- cabinet or grow in the winter in case you lose power- it will keep a place warm enough in an emergency.
Just burning candles warms a place up too - but the pots are a little safer when it comes to fire hazard.
Crystaliscious - Is your root oil strictly topical or has anyone ingested it? I have trigeminal neuropathy and would love an anti-inflamatory for it, but it's around my temple into my hair-line and around my eye. Not sure how much of it can be reached externally. Just wondered.... might have to try making some next harvest.
Thanks for the candle/clay pot info! I never knew! (Cat, I would have frozen to death in that snowbank.) Now I'll get some clay pots in case the power goes out this winter, and I can keep my plants warm.
Ok guys(hope I can say that without offending), I do understand fire. Heated with a Franklin stove for years. Till my heart problem started, heating with wood warms you up several times(cutting, loading, splitting, stacking, even the clean up) then there's the fire. During an ice storm several years ago, lost power for ten days in this new fangled all electric house. Was able to maintain low fifties using several oil burner candles, family headed for town(I went to town to watch super bowl).
But the idea of intensifying heat with a clay pot still mystifies me. Btu's in Btu's out - conservation of energy, just didn't add up. Better half should me u tube of man calming to have solved energy crisis with candles and clay pots, filed it with perpetual motion(which I know cat claims to have). Quess I must see to believe.
Side note, headquarters(underground), ten days of dark low fifties, like suspended animation no problem.
But I have a good supply of smoke at all times, so my vision can be blurred at times!!:jointsmile:
I thought it was crazy too- didn't hink it would work it went against what I thought I knew- as I get older i learn how much more I need to learn.
Still doesn't make sense and I still use my radiant quartz heater in place when able because it is warmer but the candles have kept me warm a afew times now….and I have used them in smaller spaces where warmth is helpful- like near a cutting project.
I agree with you Ranger- it may just be that we are so damn cold that any warmth actually seems like more lol!
Cat - have noticed our root observation, in my veg operation(where growing the fastest), when the roots show out of my smaller cups and pots it's time to repot. Waiting to long gets me root wrap, which I try to remove when repotting.
Crystal - work for ringing in ears? Now it's more of a roaring. People don't like my hearing problem.
giggletwig- I have read of people ingesting the root extracts and oils and roots themselves- they have lived and said they got benefits- my experience tells me this is where the heavy metals are kept ( as well as all the other components for life of the plant) and that makes me a little edgy….but others have tried it.
I did cook with it once and didn't notice anything… I have done the oil pull technique with this for 3 weeks now ( I gag every time I do it but it does work mysteriously) and I have several little tags on the inside of my cheek that are either gone or almost gone.
I rub it on and within minutes the pain is starting to back down - I use it on my jaw area and behind the ear too - it soaks in pretty quick and does not leave my hair greasy - my hair seems to like it.
Now my partner uses this all over his body & as a hair oil, and he also has used it with the oil pulling technique with no problems - i have noticed that when I put some on a q-tip and let it melt into my ear canal that my sinuses actually react within a few hours- they start draining.
Now I have also totally replaced all of my expensive ( and I do mean expensive the only luxury I really ever afforded myself) face creams with this. I now use this as my sole moisturizer on face and neck and have been for about 1 month- 2 people have told me I look younger… (yay)…it also is helping some sun damage I had on my chest….
As an herbalist I know that the roots are usually the most important part of the plant- I think we are going to find the same with cannabis…..but I do like the effect of the rest of the plant!
yes - the ringing in my ears has been helped - but my hearing has not improved as of yet….hoping it does...
"working to get more roots then I used to so anything you know that makes roots grow please point me in that direction."
If you want lots of good, clean, roots, I recommend a bucket, some water, and an airstone.

It's really that simple.
This is how I learned that roots keep growing during flower.
And Mahalo for the kind rep. message. :)
