Spend a few minutes each day picking the ripe ones and dry them at room temperature on newspapers. Put them in the freezer for 2-3 days to prevent insect damage and then store in a glass jar. Can be used as a tea, poultice, bath, gargle, steam, salve or an oil. Use for cramps, stomach aches, sore throats, sinus infections, bleeding gums and gynecological disorders.
