My friend and chemist Chris of 101-356 is making another batch of home made hooch. This time it's Raisinette™ II, and while it's not specifically of a medicinal nature, it does use herbs (raisins) and is additive free.
Fellow herbalist Sarah of Herbivorous points me to a wonderful site... as long as you're into the phytochemical constituents of phytoestrogens. Not your cup of tea? She's also raises some excellent points regarding the "war" on "drugs". Good to keep in mind the next time the topic comes up in conversation.
Kelly of Grow! is having some trouble doing just that with some succulents, and the Path to Freedom folks are treating some bunnies with the sniffles.
More later!
I know how you feel about academic studies, but there was one published last week that found a daily dose of alcohol to be beneficial with regard to heart health. They, of course, recommended a small dose.
So maybe Raisinette™ can be medicinal after all. By the way, your dose is waiting as soon as it's ready to drink - I'm thinking one to two weeks, depending on how fast it clears.
