Making Composition Powder

Powder of bayberry bark (myrica cer.)	4 ounces

Chest Comfort: Dr. Christopher's Herbal Composition Power: As Dr. Nowell, our instructor at the Dominion Herbal College, Let. of Vancouver, British Columbia gave in our textbook, quote: "We have made and used composition powder for over forty years. When we state we regularly mixed it in batches of sixty pounds the student will readily see that we have had at least some experience with it. As a helpful formula for colds, beginning of fevers, flu, hoarseness, sluggish circulation, colic, cramps, etc. We believe it has done more good than any other single preparation ever known to man." [HHH p.189]

I'm making it as part of a gut healing program. I'm using pine gem powder instead of the bark however.

And see the whole discourse: Michael Tierra's Treating the Common Cold
I think his Herbal uprising powder looks even better for my gut healing goal, so next I'll make that!
