Thank you for this! Robin Openshaw spoke last summer of the 'black salve' used by her family against skin cancers---I went to internet to check on its ingredients. Sanguinaria canadensis. Blood root. Which I have in my garden. And the telling point was that PubMed article claimed that it should not be used, and most definitely should not be used on skin. Okayyyyy.

Not surprising that the bitter element is the potent part. In December, my curiosity having been aroused by all the medicinals in my own garden, I began to inquire (via PubMed) of just about ever plant growing on my little property. To my very great surprise, most of them do indeed have a medicinal value.

Important to know that it mostly references the same material you will find on PubMed, just sorted and accessed in a different way.
