RE: Homegrown medicine arrives the spring, in the form of a misunderstood dandelion!
Your grandfather was onto something. You can make an oil first impregnated with dandelion, and from that make a beeswax salve. We don't have then in Asia and I had forgotten how cheery and chirpy they look. Nice post.
I am going to try it myself, I know he cooked the roots down for the base for this cream. But that is all I know, I just need to work the rest out. It is not possible to peal them, but if I wash then well, and mash them into a puree (an almost fluid). I will have to play with it some.
