Has a long history of tradional use, typically as a preparation as a tea. It is a potent anti-parasitic used to purge tapeworms and asaris from the body. It is also used to induce vomiting as a purgative to cleanse the body prior to use of tradional psyc medicines

Drying on top of an enclosed fire will indeed cause them to loss potency. The proper way to dry is to hang them inside, upside down in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

Your best bet is to wash them in fresh water, then prep as a green tincture. Basically this is a tincture (an alcohol extraction of the fresh herbs). Their are many advantages of this method of prep, it will last forever and the active chemical components that give the plant its effects will enter the bloodstream faster

This is my first post so a quick blurb may be in order. Traditional herbalist in study, researcher, self experimenter, gardener, consciousness explorer. Does anyone know of any species of trees that contain significant levels of iodine? My research over the course of my studies have identified the black walnut tree and the mullberry tree. It appears that iodine is the main factor that makes preparations with these two trees such effective anti-parastics. The effects of both trees on the human body are astounding. When certain preparations are made and taken internally they cause the body to purge toxins so strongly that pus can exit the skin. Why should anyone be interested in this? Well those that are keen to understand/explore their own body and be masters of their own health should take note and begin to explore this subject. It is truly fascinating Those that keen to understand/explore their own mind should take further note. My experience with prolonged fasts, and extensive use of herbs has shown me that as toxins purge from the body, deeper exploration of ones consciousness is possible. One need only to look at Aya and other tradional medicines to witness the purging of toxins from the body before expanded states of consciousness are entered. Not sure this is the right forum but whilst on topic, does anyone have a source of "black wallnuts" I am having a difficult task finding a source to continue my investigations. Many thanks
