B Goldenrod ack in the Southie basement, and still battling the heat, Marc and Mindy reminisce about the lovely weekend spent at the Bunker with Marc’s family.

Marc’s “Herb Nugget” talks about the teaching our young ones to survive. Food, water, shelter, health.

The “Herb of the Podcast” is the Solidago spp, otherwise known as Goldenrod. Marc discusses the many uses for this classic urinary tract herb.

Mindy’s “Backed by Science” article is: de Jong, et al. Occupational allergy caused by flowers. Allergy 1998; 53: 204-209. A full-length .pdf is available here. Mindy also discusses this commentary: Aronson SM. The origins of the sneeze: divine gift or mere goldenrod pollen. R I Med J 2014; 97(5):10-1. A full-length .pdf is available here. These highlight the controversy of the goldenrod vs. ragweed pollen in terms of causing allergies.

We talk about our “Wildcrafting and Homesteading Updates”! Marc is making a bug spray from hydrosols of lemon balm and sweet fern, mixed with witch hazel. The hydrosols were produced in our Oilextech Essenex 100 microwave essential oil distillation unit. We will let you know how the bug spray works! We talk about making rubber from natural latex and cordage from cattail leaves, amongst other topics.

The Worldwide Herbal and Foraging News articles for this episode are this one, this one, and this one. Rainwater catchment is now legal in Colorado, robots are picking apples, and a couple lives on a homemade off-grid island.

Enjoy these last days of the summer break! See you next week!
