years, and with the purchase of beeswax and successful experimentation
making lip balm, I'm thinking I want to make some other things. I plan
to make a marigold and/or chickweed salve, but those and lavender and
rosemary are about the only medicinally useful herbs/weeds in my
garden.
I'm not overly interested in culinary concotions, but legit medieval
medicines are intriguing me.
General tips/ideas/info/random facts? Preferrably not of the makes you
sick/blind/dead/raises interest rates kind.
Also honours theses ideas to do with this are good if anything springs
to mind.

You might like to ask this on the Locahc herb and garden guild mailing list:
http://www.sca.org.au/mailman/listinfo/garden
they also have a few links to herbals:
http://www.sca.org.au/herb/projects.html
Also watch out for the quarterly herb and garden guild meetings (next
yet to be announced I beleive).
A number of us have substantial herb gardens, so we may have the herbs
you find you want for a recipie - it's worth asking.

volumes, dated 1604.
I initially got it for foodilicious purposes, and while there are a few
food recipes in there, the vast majority of it is medicinal. I'm more
than happy to lend it to you if you'd like to have a look/borrow.
There is a warning printed in it though... some of them may be somewhat
toxic. :)

Actually, many of the medieval and Renaissance texts for food include
medicinal recipes - I've got Mistress Elspeth's Scappi book and in the
chapter for 'food for invalids' has several 'potions'. Recipe books are
actually a good place to start as there are often leads on medicinal
texts in the commentary - Terence Scully is a fantastic
researcher/academic type person with tons of info in his books and as
I'm just working through Scappi I know it's got references of interest.
Herbals are also good. You are welcome to have a browse!
We also have sorrell, and borage (in the spring) and horehound, some
sort of wort supposed to be good for hemmaroids (can't spell),
nasturtiums, pennyroyal, and rose. We don't use any chemicals in the
garden, so they are all safe for ingesting.
Cheers,

The last couple of days I've had my nose buried deep in modern
herbalist guides - I found a recipe for dandelion beer if anyone's
game enough :P
