Medicinal Uses For Creosote
Creosote is a common bush in the high / low desert. Native tribes used this bush for hundreds of years, to this day desert dwellers use Creosote for natural medicine. In this video I discuss the medicinal uses. Enjoy

Man, that stuff just stinks, though. I mean it REEKS! Maybe in the desert it's more diffused, but I got a box of creosote from TX today and when I opened the bag, Good Lord, it took my breath away. I was going to use it as a medicinal (occasional tea-it is toxic) and all, but I would sooner pop a turd in my mouth than drink this vile-smelling stuuf. I guess I shoulda known, it's Spanish name 'hediondilla' means "little stinker"!
You forgot to mention how much rattlers love that tree
Very good!!
I chew the leaves for an hour or so. It grows all over the place here in AZ.
This amazing plant has even more uses that you mention here.. you can mash the leaves and use the paste as an insect repellent.. it can also be used as a smoke bath, killing the bacteria that causes body odor.. it makes a great bedding, and its the only way to whipe your ass safely out here.. I live in the Mojave, so you can trust I speak from experience 😉
