Wouldn't it be easier to just wash it now and then???? :roll:
Never heard of the leaf thing but it seems like it'd be messy for the other stuff in your pockets... And, if they absorb salt, you's gonna have a rusty knife...
 
They're poisonous when taken internally, but I think it's a GREAT idea to put 'em in your pants; poison oak/ivy leaves will work better and absorb more salt/moisture.
 
Elderberry leaves,twigs,branchs,seed and root contain cyanide. How ever ripe berries (pulp and skin) are safe to eat .
 
Back in 50's and 60,s my father, grandfather and
hired hands used this remedy. They plowed all
day following behind mules on hillsides. They
believed in it.
 
Maternal Grand father always put them inside of the top of his straw hat on hot days. He claimed that they made your hat/head cooler.
 
Yeah - it works good. Never had any trouble getting gaulded myself - must be a chemical makeup thing - some folks are bothered badly with it. One old laborer that I worked with had it bad, and got his wife to sew up little pouches about an inch in diameter with elderberry leaves inside. She used old pantyhose for the material. He'd carry one in his front pants pocket. He was able to stop using the baby powder completely. A farmer that I worked for had a sheepskin in the tractor seat - said it helped too.

Somebody said "what is gaulded?" In hot weather, the inside of your legs, your privates area, your "crack" all get raw and every move is miserable.
 
Well - most of the time if you're gaulded you're not in a place where you have the option of washing.
