You wouldn't pirate a medicine, would you?

White willow bark and devil's claw root contain naturally occurring salicylic acid, similar to aspirin. Better, but it tastes funky.

Nothing wrong with homemade medicine. Just know what you're doing. I've used many, on myself and now adult child. Grandparents on both sides taught me. Their's taught them. I've used comfrey to heal deep wounds on friendly strays.

Along the same line of pain management did you know that pretty much all the poppy seed (for ornamental flowers) you can buy at any garden store are opium poppies? You can grow them easily, then macerate the whole plant and extract in off the shelf alcohol and strain it for essentially laudanum which is great for a sleep aide or pain in low to moderate doses. Quite safe as well, obviously if you don't abuse it.
