Anyone have any of these herb seeds:

-Burdock, Arctium lappa
-Slippery Elm, Ulmus rubra
-Sheep Sorrel, Rumex acetosella
-Indian Rhubarb, Rheum palmatum

I'll be happy to get some few seeds of each one, to get me starting them in my herb garden. Please have a look at my list, you may find something to trade.
Thanks.

I'm surprise that no many cultivate these herbs.

Burdock ---Medicinal Action and Uses---Alterative, diuretic and diaphoretic. One of the best blood purifiers. In all skin diseases, it is a certain remedy and has effected a cure in many cases of eczema,..............

Slippery Elm ---Medicinal Action and Uses---Demulcent, emollient, expectorant, diuretic, nutritive. The bark of this American Elm, though not in this country as in the United States an official drug, is considered one of the most valuable remedies in herbal practice, the abundant mucilage it contains having wonderfully strengthening and healing qualities.

Sheep Sorrel ---Medicinal Action and Uses---The whole herb is employed medicinally, in the fresh state. The action is diuretic, refrigerant and diaphoretic, and the juice extracted from the fresh plant is of use in urinary and kidney diseases.

Indian Rhubarb ---Medicinal Action and Uses---Astringent, tonic, stomachic, aperient. In large doses, Rhubarb powder acts as a simple and safe purgative, being regarded as one of the most valuable remedies we possess, effecting a brisk, healthy purge, without clogging the bowels and producing constipation, too often consequent upon the use of the more active purgatives

Well, the 4 herbs herbs normalize body systems by purifying the blood, promote cell repair, and are effective in assimilation/elimination , There is research going on at the moment to assess this 4 herbs as part of therapeutic aids in the treatment of inmune system disease.

I did find what I believe is a slippery elm tree. I had to take a tree classification book with me. The leaves of this elm and the American elm are so similar. The feel of the leaf is definitely different however. It has a much rougher feel. I don't find any seeds, but will look in the Spring.

You may want to remind me.! I'm kinda forgetful.

KathyJo I will remind you. Usually the seeds appear in summer or early fall soon after flowering.

Thanks.
