Well, I've been wondering where the blockages are if you get too much soreness after exercise, I'm assuming from too much lactic acid and not enough oxygen consumption in the mitochondria. So I think this is going to be really helpful for me!

Looks like onions will be my ticket, and blackberries in season. Not sure if I can add any more oregano, it's already a staple food🤪.

Also tapioca wraps, I never heard of those ! they might go on my shopping list .

You may need to order them online, though I saw that Meijer's did have some packages - they were all broken though. A broken salad roll wrap will not wrap. It will stay in pieces. Critically important to not drop the package as they fracture easily when dry. (Been there, did that)

Just subscribed to you because I like reading about horses and saw your post on a hoof issue... just thought I'd throw out there that Dr Pols uses copper sulfate packed into hoofs.... can you believe I learned something real on TV??? lolol

hi Sadie !

Welcome to my very occasional stack! I have a friend who always tells me about Dr Pol, it sounds like you can actually learn a lot from that show!

Yeah stuff on TV - when I worked for a defense contractor I learned stuff about the weapons in my database from watching something on the History Channel!

Copper sulfate is excellent, and such a pretty color. Another good packing for wounds and hoof infections is called sugar-dine - it's just sugar wetted with providone iodine. Sugardine, or even just sugar, was used during the Civil War for wounds...

I noticed a handout for essential oils for horses on a marketing site but the product was out of stock. The main point was something about "T strokes" - a gentle massage technique for equines and with a little essential oils on your finger tips.

Apparently horse massage is a big topic: https://www.google.com/search?q=T+stroke+massage+for+horses&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS977US977&oq=T+stroke+massage+for+horses&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRhAMgYIAhBFGEDSAQg1ODk3ajFqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1

ah the oils on your fingertips! that does sound lovely... I just use the ones I already have, but I have to remember the horses actually are much more sensitive than I am so more dilution is required . also I have to let them choose, they all seem to have different preferences. except peppermint, everybody loves peppermint and vanilla !

Ailment wise, targeted oils could be chosen too I would think. Or a calming one for a skittish horse maybe.

+1 for Bánh tráng. I'll be making pad thai with rice noodles later, because a foot of show demands comfort food.

I'm also quite fond of these, which are much more resilient for Mexican applications: https://www.nucoconut.com/coconut-wraps/

Thanx Jen!

Thanks so much for today's info.... I'm keeping lists of what is healthy that I can easily add to my diet... or even grow. Interesting that kuromanin is found in celery seeds - something that has stopped my gout in a day. Sorry for your snow.... I have to live where citrus and avocados do well ;) ...

I get over-hot too easy. I would have to go north in the hot months. But I do miss sunshine.
