The impatiens flower is also considered as a kind of medicinal material. It can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, diuresis and detoxification, stimulate menstruation and penetrate the bones. The fresh grass can be mashed and can treat poisonous insect bites.
The seeds are a good detoxification medicine. They are indispensable for dysmenorrhea, inducing labor, eliminating phlegm, and reducing swelling...
It is said that Cleopatra used impatiens to dye her hair. Begonia is going to try this medieval method now.
Haitang found Yamei and Wintersweet and told them. Yamei immediately understood that she wanted to go to the county pharmacy to see if these three things were available.
It was inconvenient for the mute girl to speak, so she asked Lamei to follow. She was also afraid that Lamei would not understand the medicine and buy the wrong medicine, so the mute girl had to follow.
In addition to black, Haitang also wants to try dyeing her hair in other colors.
Therefore, let Lamei and Yamei also buy some dark tea leaves, and use them with impatiens pollen to dye them into a color similar to brown.
Furthermore, wine and impatiens pollen can produce a burgundy red color. There is also wine brought from Wanwan’s house, and the color is so pure.
As for the bright red color, you need to use Roselle flowers. I don’t know if they are sold in pharmacies.
Only after explaining all this can Haitang feel relieved.
All we need now is to get the medicinal ingredients.
Taking advantage of this time, Haitang sent some freshly baked silver mirrors, animal skins, and porcelain stoves to Aunt Li's family, and also distributed some to Lamei's family, as well as wine brewed by Wanwan's family.
During these days, Lamei and her family worked hard to find their mother-in-law, working from early to late at night.
In the afternoon, Lamei and the mute girl did not come back. My mother-in-law was very anxious, wishing that her hair would be as black as the age of eighteen in the next second.
When Haitang wasn't paying attention, her mother-in-law came to the courtyard of the dyeing workshop, got some black dye, quietly brought it back to the house, and applied it on her hair in front of the mirror.
She didn't think it was that difficult. It was all black anyway, and she could dye her clothes and hair.
With such a touch, it really turned dark. Looking at myself in the mirror, the next step was to straighten out my old face. I wanted to make her look younger.
Half an hour later, my mother-in-law felt that her scalp was itchy and something was wrong.
Maybe it was like this, she didn't care, she kept looking at her hair in the mirror, and it became more and more pleasing to her eyes.
Lamei and dumb sister are back.
I bought Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia glutinosa, dark tea leaves, Roselle flowers, and wine. I couldn’t bear to use the wine and crabapple at home to make dyes, but I still drank it through my intestines. It was worth it.
Only for impatiens, I didn’t buy pollen, but I bought a lot of dried flowers.
The two of them bought this after visiting almost all the pharmacies in the county, and the money Haitang gave them was all used up, so it was almost not enough, so it was a rare commodity.
Haitang took these things to her "laboratory".
First, mash the Polygonum multiflorum and Rehmannia glutinosa and soak them in hot water until they turn black. Then add the mashed Impatiens flowers and mix them into a sticky state.
Haitang doesn't know if it is effective.
After the reconciliation was completed, I went to call my mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law closed the door and refused to open it. Haitang almost shouted at the end of her voice before her mother-in-law came out...
I saw that her hair was black, but there were red spots on her neck, and they were scratched one by one by her hands, which looked very itchy.
"What did you use?" Haitang asked quickly, isn't this an allergy symptom?
My mother-in-law saw that she could no longer hide it and could not cure it without telling her. Now her whole body felt uncomfortable, not only her neck but also her back was itchy.
She pointed at the dye vat like a child who had done something wrong...
