Long before modern medicines, people relied on their knowledge of the natural world to make use of the plants that are around them. We explore three plants with a long history of traditional use, mullein, plantain and cinquefoil. We demonstrate how to make a traditional poultice and herbal salve.
The Woodland Escape explores 18th-century wilderness medicine, demonstrating how to create herbal poultices and salves for wound care. Discover how to identify and prepare traditional ingredients like plantain, mullein, and cinquefoil using historically inspired techniques for survival in the field.
“This is very interesting , when god created the earth , he put everything on earth for us to heal ourselves and with time its been almost lost somewhere. It’s good to see people that are still interested in these things” ~
