Spring-water moonshine with bark and flowers, heat it a bit and let it sit for nice little while. Dose of one to three spoons. Would a honey/lemon mix or some such help with the reaction? Aloe, maybe? Not to 'do it anyway', but to help the first timers who have a reaction. That would be helpful information to have in a post, maybe. I just found out this tree has high alkaline ph, another plus!

A good rule of thumb when trying ANY new substance is to try only a little bit before committing to having a full serving. You never know if you can have a negative reaction to any wild edible. When I tried this mimosa tea the first time, I tried a very small sip and waited for any negative reaction. Luckily, nothing bad for me.🎉

First rub on skin wait for effects, if none then rub on ur lip, wait a bit and if still no effects bite a bit and keep it in the mouth for 5mins,if no effects, consume a bit and swallow, wait a while and if no effects it may be safe, so now you ramp up "dose" slowly through out days to see if any affects occur. No way to fully tell but this is a good way to make sure it isnt something really poisonous or an allergen/irritant

@@glasscaster3536 that's interesting... i had no idea what this "acrid??" reaction was that he was talking about, but it made me think to the unpleasant reaction I've had a couple times from eating bananas that were too green. It's a really unpleasant sensation where it makes my teeth and skin (in my mouth, and my hands) feel like they're being eaten away by a chemical reaction.. i don't know if it's at all related to any of this.. but it's like it makes a build up of film of some sort. As well, I've had reaction from zucchini juices. I cut a fresh garden zucchini into slices and it leaked liquid droplets. Upon touching that, it made my skin yellow and really really tighten, i thought it was eating my skin away or something, but apparently that's common, and it's just a film/build-up of those juices on your skin.. also don't know if any of these reactions are related or different things.

In fifteen minutes, poured 8 ounces of boiling distilled water on them. Steeped for about 30 minutes. Drank half (4 ounces). No reaction. Except felt very calm. I drank the rest in 1 hour.

Yes! This cannot be said enough. The problem with herbal supplements these days is all from word of mouth, especially from the mouths of the untrained and companies who want to sell you these herbs. There is a reason that herbalists need to be licensed in order to dispense herbs. These plants can be dangerous if taken without supervision or without research. Americans taking these herbs with abandonment is wild to someone who grew up only getting herbal teas from herbalists, and never for a long stretch of time. Even now, the first thing I do is to look up possible side effects before taking any medication or herbs.

Chinese medicine distinguishes who should and who should not take certain herbs because of their current health disposition. You may find similarities in other ways with your friend who also reacted. The Chinese recognize no one herb fits all, and even factor in synergies of particular herbs which, by themselves, are fine could become toxic when taken together. For this particular herb, it is meant for people with a blockage in the liver. For you, who may not be dealing with any such liver issues may send circulation in that organ into overdrive, thus causing a reaction.

Could be a compound more dense in the outerbark that aggravates the throat/mouth/etc...This is just an assumption, but if you're experimenting might be worth a try.

My brother and I are so allergic to this tree as well as other trees with flowers and pollen that our parents had to cut this beautiful tree down so we could breath with the windows open--no air conditioning in those days! Although the Creator provided this planet with all sorts of medicinal plants, trees and herbs, it's best to go slow or not at all because no 2 bodies react the same to something in the wild or even prescribed by your doctor! I personally am highly allergic to chemicals and chemicals are both natural and man-made!

Dried flowers, hot tea. Similar reaction, but not as bad. Tasted like bland pepper. Tried the bark & stems dried and powdered. Same thing, tastes worse. Tried flowers and bark stem all dried and powdered. Yuck. Mouth tingles... Tastes like vomit. I'm convinced Mimosa Hostilis is the tree that was meant to be given the "Tree of Happiness" title.

I just discovered this plant - I dried flowers and had 3-5 of them in a cup of tea, just poured over 90°C water (I do that with herbal teas, otherwise I feel like it burns and whilts the plant too much, not tasty, especially with nettle!), waited for 5 min, took the flowers out, waited for it to cool and drank it. Neutral taste, yellow to slightly green colour of the tea. No negative reaction. I only started using a cup of mimosa a day a few days ago so I can say that its for sure from mimosa, but I am happy, thankful and more determined these days. I just put some bark and flowers in alcohol, waiting to see the result of that. I'll experiment more with mimosa, God willing. I've seen a mimosa jam recepie, I'd like to try making syrup from flowers, and maybe, if its safe, a bit of bark in there too.

I recently found this tree and was so excited to try it. I’ve only done flowers rinsed once and put in cold water- after about half hour the water smelled amazing!! Slight floral taste. Havnt been using it enough to tell a difference… BUT the day I started using it I was REALLY upset. I had three fresh flowers I just sniffed my 45 min drive to a friends house lol. I think it took the edge off. Maybe placebo effect?? Not sure. Also stuck fresh flowers in some local honey… THAT tastes amazing!!

Ive had a similar situation when I've tried cilantro. To me, it tastes like didhsoap. So I didn't understand how people liked this herb so much. When I did some research, I found that there is a certain percent of the population that when they eat cilantro, it tastes like dishsoap. I really want to like it but I don't use it because of how it tastes to me.

Cilantro is either loved or hated . I love it . One of the benefits of cilantro is heavy metal detox . So eating it makes sense to me . I want to make a tincture out of it for the heavy metal detox. The world we live in is full of environmental things that cause illness and problems for folks . However cleavers is also a heavy metal detox among other things and I did make a tincture this year . 😊

Always keep Benadryl, common name, diphenhydramine, in your medicine cabinet BEFORE you try anything new. If you get a reaction, take the recommended dosage. It will likely calm & relieve the reaction and could prevent a trip to the ER.
@namedrop721
3 ай бұрын
False. Any allergic reaction to a new substance strong enough to require a Benadryl you need to go to the ER for observation at least Benadryl doesn’t fix an allergic reaction it just delays it. If your body has dealt with the reaction in that time, great, otherwise you’re gonna be in for a rough time especially for something you’ve eaten, still in your system

When I started eating weeds, I overdid everything. My biggest lesson has been to just use small amounts now. I used to make Holy Basil tea with about 10 pulverised leaves. I used to wonder how can the Indians have it everyday because I turned off it after a week. Then I learned that only 2 uncrushed leaf is needed for a tea. This man is correct ultimately always listen to your body. It tells you. I went through a green smoothie phase also and my body told me to stop and that's another story. I think I just overdo everything 😂

Like you I couldn't find anything about the bark or flowers having any toxicity but the seeds and seed pods do have a neurotoxin and djenklic acid (can kill your kidneys if injested) I also saw that the bark can produce an irritating smoke. It might be possible that the tree also uses these as a self defense mechanism from predators so you might fave only a short window of time to cultivate or I could be because of something that its absorbing from the soil meaning it could be depending on the area you cultivating from too. There's around 600 different species so it could vary from tree to tree. If you do use this plant or plan too then I would suggest consumption in low quantities with at least some time in-between and to not attempt if you have kidney issues. There's just not been enough studys on this plant to be confident in it yet.

They've been using this in China for a long time and they use it for a lot of different things, I don't think it's very toxic but they use it for anxiety depression and it's also good for wounds. Put it on a wound and it will heal twice as fast

I mean the pods and seed are pretty bad, farm animals have been reported having hair loss when they eat the pods/seeds. But I haven't been able to find anything else about any other part of the plant to be toxic. But it is a legume so there is the possibility of some sort of risk (legume plants are known to contain arsenic which can also cause a stinging to burning sensation in a high enough of an exposure). But personally, I still wouldn't suggest it if you have kidney issues because I haven't found any studies showing wether or not other parts of the plant could have djenklic acid in it or not (at least yet).
