Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for the info. By 0.5 in I assume you mean 1/2 inch above
the chapparral, correct?

Bob,
Sorry to not reply last night but I was on my Blackberry and it isn't
user friendly in providing links. Here is the link to Ryan Drum's article:
http://www.ryandrum.com/Devilsclub.htm
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Chaparral contains over 600 medicinally active ingredients; some of
these are extremely antimicrobial against both Gram positive and Gram negative
bacteria. In one case, a 10-yr-old male presented with an abscessing lower
molar; the gum was very swollen and tender. I used a strong (1:1) 50% alcohol
extract of chaparral directly on the inflamed area at thirty minute intervals
for 8 hours and then once every 4 hours. The swelling subsided at the end of
eight hours and all signs of inflammation resolved in 48 hours. The
inflammation did not recur. I was using both the strong anti-inflammatory and
the antimicrobial activity of the Chaparral. I suspected that some coarse food
particle(s) had lodged deep between the gum and the tooth and driven aerobic
bacteria into an anaerobic growth phase. No initiating trauma was identified.
If there had been less acute inflammation, I may have used a different
botanical.
I bought my chaparral powder from:
http://www.herbalcom.com/ <http://www.herbalcom.com/>
I made a 50% alcohol extract (tincture) using vodka. To make a
tincture, put the chaparral powder in a jar and add vodka to 0.5 inches higher
than the chaparral. Store in a darkened place and wait 2 weeks, shaking the
tincture once every day. At the end of the two weks just filter out the powder
and you have it.

Steve,
I'd be interested in the link to the herbalist for the chaparral.
I have a cavity that needs filling as I type, so I'm a good candidate.
