私房药 第二季第一集 花园药草
植物从很久以前 Plants have been used since the year dot
就被人用来对付日常小病 to treat everyday ailment.
在合成药剂出现之后 And it's only since the arrival of synthetic drugs
一些人才逐渐放弃传统疗法 that some of us have abandoned their traditional uses.
在本节目中 In this program,
我将教大家一些简易的方法 I'm gonna show you how simple it is
种植药草来制作专属于您的私房药 to start growing and making your own drugs with herbs.
药草极易培植 Herbs are just so unbelievably easy to grow.
但你若是仅仅用它来制香料 But I think if you planting them just for their flavoring,
未免大材小用 you're really missing a trick.
几百年来 它们被广泛运用于各处 For centuries, they've been used for everything,
比如赶走你的头痛 from getting away your headache,
为你的生活催情助兴 to spicing up your love life,
解决蚊虫困扰 to driving away insects.
不过近几十年 And it's only in the past couple of decades
这一切均被世人遗忘 that we've forgotten that.
药草一度被用于保存食物 Herbs were once used to preserve foods.
一来是因为它能有效遮盖腐臭气味 Partly to cover up nasty rancid smells,
更主要是因为其所含精油能消灭细菌 but also because their essential oils kill bacteria.
药草的防腐抗菌等功效 And these antiseptic qualities
同样具有药用价值 and their other properties can be medicinal, too.
我们就用豆类和薄荷来举例 Think about peas and mint, for example.
食用豆类后容易胀气 Peas give you gas,
而薄荷恰能防止胀气 and mint helps get rid of that.
所以当你吃饭时 So while you eating your dinner,
无形中进行了自我治疗 you're self-medicating without even realizing.
人们总会问 People often ask
有什么科学依据能证明天然药物真能起效 where's the proof that natural medicine works.
确实 不少植物疗法 Well, many plant-based remedies
未经临床验证 haven't been clinically tested.
但我们非常了解这些作物的药用价值 But we do know a lot about the chemicals they contained
及对人体产生的功效 and the affects they can have to the body.
其中有不少 And for some of these,
见效尤其显著 the evidence they work is very strong.
个中原因纷繁复杂 There're loads of factors
很多因素都会影响治疗效果 that could influence whether a remedy works or not.
在你种之前得先明白 And before you start growing it, you need to know
你种的是什么 要怎么用 what you're picking, how to use it,
你是否对其过敏 and whether you're allergic.
一旦弄清楚这些 那就去付诸行动吧 Once you've got that, get out up there and do it.
在本节目中 In this program,
我将指导大家如何用白芷 I'm gonna show you how to turn angelica
调制一杯鸡尾酒帮助消化 into a cocktail to tackle indigestion.
看起来真恶心 This looks so bad.
制作一种发乳去除头屑 Create a hair oil to help ditch dandruff.
配出能驱赶衣蛾的药剂 Make an insect repellent to beat the pesky cloth moth.
并用小白菊制成黄油 来对抗偏头疼 And thring combat migraines with a feverfew herb butter.
这玩意儿味道好极了 Oh, that's good stuff.
我们还请来一些志愿者前来尝试 And members of the public will be trying them out.
这些并不是临床试验 These aren't clinical trials
我想了解下我的自制处方 but I want to know whether my home-made remedies
能否帮到大家缓解症状 can ease the symptoms of those in need of help.
但随着症状减轻 我知道这有效果 But I started to see an improvement when it started to lessen.
真的很不错 It's just great.
每年有大约40%的人为消化不良所累 Indigestion affects 40% of us each year,
其症状总把人折腾得食不下咽 and its symptoms can make a misery of meal times.
24岁的模特Aaliyah 24 year old model Aaliyah
一年多来 has been suffering from this stomach bloating ailment
饱受胃胀之苦 for the past 12 months.
那感觉就仿佛胃在燃烧 It's like, kind like a burning pain in my stomach
疼得我汗流浃背 and then I sweat quite a lot from the pain.
并伴有头晕恶心 And I feel a little bit nausea as well.
一天晚上我胃实在疼得不行 One night, I had really bad stomach pain,
我意识到它已经非常严重了 and I thought it was quite serious.
我便去看了急诊 So I went to A&E,
真是很麻烦的事 and it was really embarrassing
因为我经常消化不良 cuz it's just always indigestion.
这难度不小 Well, it's a challenge,
但我的自然疗法有望帮到她 but hopefully my natural remedy will help.
可能你对我用的植物不怎么熟悉 You may not be familiar with the plant I'm using,
但你或许曾在糖果蛋糕里尝到过它 but you might have tasted it as a candy, cake decoration.
若你曾吃过80年代那种 If you've ever had a cake in the 80's
顶上有绿色钻石形果冻的蛋糕的话 with those diamond-shaped-green-jelly-like things on the top,
或尝过慕斯 杜松子酒 or you've ever had mousse or gin
白芷就是其中必不可少的调料 angelica is one of its key flavor ingredients.
这种植物最主要的作用就是帮助消化 The plant's key use is that it's a digestive tonic
对多种紊乱都有奇效 and that covers a whole spectrum movement disorders
像是增加食欲 from improving your appetite
缓解消化不良 to sorting out bloating indigestion
直至解决气胀 right down to flatulence.
这里的白芷多是用作提炼精油 Here, angelica is growing as a crop for essential oil.
但若想种在您家后花园也未尝不可 But it's equally a home in your back garden.
你可以选用不同部位的白芷 You can use different bits of angelica.
从种子到嫩叶 Everything from the seeds to the young leaves
直至根部 that was spring right down to the roots which is...
那是我的最爱 my favorite bit.
这个种在砂质土壤上 This one's been growing on sandy soil
你便能看到其根系有多发达 so you can really see it's got a brilliant root system.
若你生活的地方是肥沃的粘土质土壤 If you're living in an area with really heavy clay soil
外加一些细沙 and some sand of some grids
这样就有利于 and while that does,
根系适应环境 不发生排斥 basically the roots have less resistance to fight against.
他们的根系也会更发达健康 They can produce much bigger healthier root systems.
植物上半部分一到冬天立马枯竭 All the parts above the plant die down in winter,
但根就像仓库一样 but it's in the roots, where it's really like the warehouse
储藏化学养分 of its chemical ingredients.
白芷在野外遍地都是 Angelica does grow commonly in the wild
但也有不少和它外形类似的剧毒作物 but has lots of toxic look-alikes.
所以请仔细确认你采摘的植物 So make sure you always know exactly what you're picking,
可以多看看可靠的指导书 with a help of a trusty guide book,
或者亲自在花园里种一些 or grow in your garden.
白芷的根部富含精油和香豆素 The root of angelica contains essential oil and coumarins
能抗痉挛 which are anti-spasmodic.
帮助胃肠肌肉放松 These can help relax the muscles of the gut,
减少胃胀 reducing bloating,
并缓解消化不良引起的不适 and easing the pain and discomfort of indigestion.
我希望Aaliyah在用过我的 I'm hoping Aaliyah's indigestion
养胃良方后 would be a thing of the past when she tries
她的胃病能成为过去时 my stomach soothing remedy.
闻闻看 这就是白芷 Have a sniff of that. It's angelica.
是不是觉得有股茴香的味道 Do you think it's a little bit like aniseed?
我觉得闻上去有股酒味 It does smell quite, like a little bit of liquory sheen.
对对 我一直觉得像是火焰鸡尾酒的味道 Yep, yep, I always thought a bit like flaming some bubka.
对 是有点像 Oh, yes, it does a bit.
这让我联想到宿醉的感觉 Reminds me of a subtle version of a bad night out.
另有一种药草也能改善消化问题 There's another herb which is great for digestion.
它有大量品种供人们选择 With loads of different variety to choose from
那就是薄荷 mint.
闻着好像口香糖啊 Oh, it smells a bit like chewing gum, actually.
薄荷是口香糖中很常用的配料 Peppermint, it's a stock that you use in chewing gum.
还有点牙膏的味道 It's like tooth paste, a bit like...
它通常提炼成精油用在牙膏 It's the oil that using in tooth paste,
口香糖 漱口水之类的产品里 chewing gum, mouth washer, all of that.
这棵很茂盛 This one's very strong.
人们称之为巧克力薄荷 They call this "chocolate peppermint".
我没嗅到巧克力的味道呀 I don't scent any chocolate.
应该是种聪明的行销手段吧 Well, I think it's a clever marketing.
最后这株叫做苹果薄荷 This last one's called "applemint".
这让我想到莫吉托鸡尾酒里用的薄荷 It reminds me of the mint you get in Mojitos, the cocktails.
你今天说的都很入我耳 I like how all I heard today.
都跟鸡尾酒有关 Have a cocktail relation.
你来挑株你最喜欢的吧 So you can pick whichever one you like the most.
我比较中意巧克力薄荷 I think it was the chocolate mint, I preferred.
选得好 Yep, really good choice.
我猜Aaliyah很懂鸡尾酒 I suspect Aaliyah is a bit of a cocktail-connoisseur.
希望我针对消化问题的方子能让她满意 So hopefully my remedy for indigestion will meet her approval.
我即将调制一杯能帮助消化的鸡尾酒 I'm gonna make a digestive cocktail.
你还懂伏特加啊 Well, I wasn't expected you to know vodka.
这是新鲜的白芷根 Now this is fresh angelica roots
尽管看起来不怎么好吃 that might not look very appetising like this.
但真的是个好东西 But really brilliant stuff,
味美又健胃 wonderful flavor, and great for digestion.
你现在只需把它洗干净就好 All you need to do is to give a really good wash.
我一直觉得它们闻起来有点像 I always think they smell a bit little like
防风草 或是胡萝卜之类的东西 parsnips or carrots or something like that.
还有点像泥土的味道 They actually smell a bit like soil.
-对 -我能大约想象出它味道怎样了 - Yep. - So I can imagine that how they will taste.
加够糖 什么怪味都没了 With enough sugar, anything is addible.
我们就等着瞧吧 We'll see then.
把上面的泥土都洗掉后 Once the soil's been washed away,
切下100克左右的白芷根 finally chop 100 grams of the angelica root.
你犯胃病的时候 So what's your experience
都是怎么处理的 been with you having digestive difficulties?
我试过无数种药方 I've tried so many different remedies
多数是服用药物 usually that drug-related.
没一个能治好我的消化不良 And nothing really seems to help the indigestion.
-好的 -我真觉得这是我最后的希望 - Great. - I feel like this is kind of my last hope, really.
非常感谢 这下我没压力了 Thank you very much. There's no pressure then.
把根装进密封罐里 Pop the root into an air-tied jar
再切15克新鲜的薄荷叶 and finely chop 25 grams of fresh mint leaves.
天哪 快来闻闻 Gosh, you can really smell that
就感觉鼻子一阵凉意 makes the whole of the nuance inside your nose cold.
也不算是凉意 Ain't cold, actally.
加入4匙干洋甘菊和茴香籽 Add 4 teeth spoons of dried chamomile and fennel seeds.
两者通常用于 Both of which have been used traditionally
缓解消化引起的胃部不适 to help relief digestive discomfort.
最后要做的就是倒点伏特加进去 All you gonna do now is pop on a bit of vodka.
这样就制成了一瓶酊剂 What this creat is a tincture
加入酒精能将药草中的活性成分 in which the alcohol draws all the active ingredients
凝炼出来 out of the herbs.
这就是一剂的药量吗 Is this one portion?
没 没 没 No, no, no.
我向你保证最后成品绝非这个 Promise you, this is not the end.
接着把酊剂在避光阴凉处 Then leave the tincture to steep in a cold dark place
存放两周 for about 2 weeks.
假如你先前心存怀疑的话 Now if you won't convince before,
这绝不会改变你想法 I don't think this is gonna change your mind.
活性分子都浸在伏特加里了 All the active ingredients are floating around vodka.
我们要的就是那些东西 And that's the stuff we are interested in.
看上去真恶心 That just look so bad.
你得喝了它 And you're gonna have to drink this.
这真的是好东西 That's the best thing.
拿好勺子 尝一下吧 Here's a spoon, have a go.
或许比你想的要好很多哦 It maybe bet to the new expect.
感觉直冲脑门 It looks like I had a headrush then.
但Aaliyah 别害怕 But no fear Aaliyah.
该把这池塘水变成美味鸡尾酒了 It's time to turn this pond water into a delicious cocktail.
就连阿汤哥都会羡慕吧 Tom Cruise eat your heart out.
切两个酸橙 Two limes sliced.
加一小枝新鲜薄荷 A generous sprig of fresh mint.
必须要够新鲜 Fresh deal.
我要开始加料了 每份25毫升 I'm gonna pop then, 25 milliliters per serving.
这是每剂的量 So, that's a shot in every dose.
加满另一种健胃良药 Top up with another stomach soother,
姜汁啤酒 lashing's of ginger beer.
一 二 三 One, two, three.
看上去不错 那喝起来会不会更好呢 It looks better, but does it taste better?
确实很好喝 That's actually very good.
我说真的 味道很棒 I'm serious. It's very nice.
你喜欢就好 I think it's brilliant you enjoy it.
不知能否对你的消化问题起效 You never know it may work wonders for your digestion, too.
我会在酒吧里点这个 I'll probably order this in the bar.
我很喜欢这个 Hell yeah, I like that.
我不知不觉成了你的酒保 不错 I like that I've gined that you think you have a barman, brilliant.
该疗法仅适用于轻度消化不良 This remedy is only for simple indigestion and wind.
并能帮助刺激食欲 And to helps stimulate the appetite.
若你患上胃溃疡 If you're sufferring from a stomach ulcer
亟需药物治疗 and you're medication for it,
不要服用此方 I'll give this one amiss.
而且别忘了这是杯鸡尾酒 And don't forget it's a cocktail,
所以含有酒精 so it contains alcohol.
Aaliyah试了三次我的白芷处方 Aaliyah tried my angelica remedy three times
这绝非临床试验 and clearly this wasn't a clinical trial,
但这酒精对其不适有无效果呢 but did it put an end to her discomfort?
这个方子对我帮助很大 The remedy for me seems to have helped a lot.
我从前胃疼很厉害 I found that before I get really bad stomach pains,
现在缓和多了 but now it's quite mild.
现在我去朋友家聚餐 Now I can go to friends' houses to have meals
不再有后顾之忧 and not have to worry.
起码当别人喝酒或者别的什么 At least, if everyone else is having like a wine or something,
我可以自制我的处方 I can just make up my remedy
参与其中 and joined in the party.
很多原因造成一个方子对一些人有效 There're lots of reasons why remedies work for some people,
而对其他人没用 and not for others.
这一帖药对Aaliyah见效 This one seems to done the trick for Aaliyah,
或许对你也有用 and perhaps it can work for you, too.
据估计 It's estimated that
八分之一的人患有偏头痛 migraines affects one in eight of us.
这远不止头痛这么简单 There's much more than just a headache
它可能影响整个人体系统 and it can affect the whole body.
英国萨里 蒂尔福德地区
这里有一种很像雏菊的药草 There's one particular daisy-looking herb
像野火般布满整个花园 that spreads like wild-fire in your garden.
从古希腊开始 它就被运用于 And it has been used since ancient Greece
治疗大量疾病 to treat a whole host of ailments.
那儿的小东西叫做艾菊 This little guy over here is tanacetum parthenium,
或小白菊 功效已暗含在名字中 or feverfew, and the clue is in the name.
它通常用来对付偏头痛和头疼 It's traditionally used for things like migraines and headaches,
信不信由你 对发烧也一样有效 and believe it or not, for fevers.
不少临床试验证明 There're quite a few clinical trials
它们确实能改善偏头疼 that suggested that they really could help
不仅仅是起到预防作用 and not only preventing migraines,
而且确实能治疗早期病症 but actually treating ailment at early stages.
你要用到的是叶子部分 The bits that you use are the leaf.
传统方法是加进三明治中食用 The traditional way is to eat in sandwiches.
好在你不用嚼那么多叶子 And the good thing is, you don't actually have to eat that many leaves,
每天只需两三片 就绝对够了 just two or three a day, quite enough for an effective dose.
它们尝起来真的很苦 They have a really powerful bitter flavor
大部分人都受不了那味道 that quite hard to stomach for a lot of people,
尤其像我这种酷爱甜食的人 particlarly people like me with a sweet tooth.
有点类似于金汤力中的那种苦味 Kind of taste like the bitter the bitterness from gin and tonic
但 but...
同时又有点像猫砂盘的味道 also bit like a cat's litter tray at the same time.
也许尝起来不怎么好受 It might not taste the best
但它被广泛运用于偏头疼的治疗中 but it's wildly used to prevent migraine.
小白菊富含内酯 Feverfew contains parthenolide
有效对抗炎症 which is anti-inflammatory.
偏头痛会拓宽你的血管 migraine makes your blood vessels widen,
引发搏动性头痛 causing the throbbing headache.
小白菊内酯通过阻止血管被拓宽 Parthenolide helps reduce migraines
来缓解偏头痛 by preventing this widening of the blooding vessels.
小白菊中的化学成分很是有效 The chemicals in feverfew are pretty powerful.
与止痛片一样 And as some pain-killers,
服用小白菊可能会引起胃部不适 taking them may upset your stomach a little.
而突然停用则会引起胃部疼痛 And stopping suddenly could cause a few ache of pains.
这些小白菊叶在对抗偏头痛的处方中 These feverfew leaves are gonna take pride of place
相当重要 than anti-migrain remedy
我们用它来制成药草黄油 that's gonna take the form of a herbal butter.
把新鲜药草 It's a really brilliant way
加进你的日常饮食中 to incoperate a fresh herb
实属明智之举 into your diet on a daily basis.
我们要尽可能多的提取出小白菊中的 The thing is to get the most at the feverfews'
消炎因子 anti-inflammatory effects.
你每天都得服用 You need to take them everyday.
我这里准备了将近一周的量 I'm making enough for about a week here.
也就是说7剂药需要20片叶子 So seven doses should about twenty leaves.
我会通过加入芬芳的龙蒿叶 I'm masking feverfews bitter taste
和平叶欧芹 by throwing into some fragrance tarragon
来掩盖掉小白菊的苦味 and flat leaf parsley.
各取两汤匙 最后切碎 Two teeth spoons of both, finally chopped.
再加入一匙新鲜的柠檬皮更是诱人 And one generous teeth spoon of lemon zest to give it a zingy tan.
还要加一种配料 And gonna have one other ingredient
那就是姜粉 which is powdered ginger.
全世界的人都食用姜 And ginger has been used all over the world
尤其是在治头疼和偏头痛的传统疗法中 traditionally to treat headaches and migraines.
其消炎作用 And its anti-inflammatory
能有效缓解痛楚 that has mild pain relieving properties.
充分混合那些药草 Give those herbs a good all mix-up.
彻底干燥 Season it generously
你便完全看不出里头有小白菊 and you won't even know the feverfew is there.
馥郁芬芳的草药味混合物 This whole sweet-herbal-smelling mix
完全融合 is really conspiring.
尝过小白菊后那轻微的苦味令人窒息 It's a smother that slightly bitter after taste feverfew,
本草单宁混合物完成了 and just create a really hearbal, tannin mix.
太美妙了 It's lovely.
现在把它们加到100克软黄油中捣碎 Now mash that all into 100 grams of soften butter.
这块黄油用处不少 This butter is really versatile.
你能抹在吐司上 也可以抹在土豆牛排上 You can pop on toast or you mash potato, steak.
随心所欲 You can take however you want to
只要每天用量有两三片新鲜叶子那么多 as long as you get your two to three fresh leaves a day.
坦白说 And to be honest,
要是你真的每天这么做了 if you gonna take this everyday,
你自己也能原创美味 you might as well be inventive.
小白菊疗法只适用于18岁以上成人 Only take feverfew if you're over 18,
孕妇及哺乳期禁用 not pregnant or breast-feeding.
要是你还吃别的药 And if you're taking any other medication,
先和你的医生或者药剂师确认一下 check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
要想完全起效 But to feel the full preventative of effects,
必须每天服用该药草 this herb should be taken everyday.
药草疗法和传统药物一样有效 Herbal remedies can be just as powerful as conventional drugs.
着实该受到重视 And really should be treated with respect.
就像现在用到的小白菊 And in the case of feverfew,
若你胃或嘴里生有溃疡 if you got a stomach ulcer or a mouth ulcer,
切忌服用 give this one a miss.
现在剩下要做的是 Only to do now
就是用防油纸把这个包好 is pop this in a little bit of greaseproof paper.
现在 Now...
我觉得肯定有 I'm sure there is some really
更妥当专业的方式来处理 fancy, professional way of serving this,
但恐怕我的处理方式略显粗糙 But, I'm afraid mine's a little bit rough and ready.
或许不够专业 It might not look very michelin-style.
但我保证它味道不赖 But I can garentee you, it's tasty,
起码我觉得很不错 or it at least does to me.
黄油可在冰箱里存放一周 The butter will store in the fridge for week
或在冷冻室里存6个月 or in the freezer for 6 months.
我没想到有一天会把黄油做成健康食物 I never thought I'll get away with calling butter a health food.
但我确实做到了 But I think I've done it.
真好吃 That's good stuff.
小白菊中的苦味 The bitterness from feverfew
完全被姜掩盖住了 is completely gone in this swell of snitch of the ginger.
要是真能治好偏头痛 And if will free from the pain migraines,
那该多好啊 how awesome is that.
在花园里种药草唯一不好的一点在于 The challenge with green herbs in the garden
过段时间 is that after a while,
其根部会变硬 they can start to get woody at the base,
并且叶子也会减少 and stop producing so many leaves.
但在把他们当肥料前 But before you can sign them to the compost,
你只需剪下几根枝条 you can grow brand new plants
就能种植出新的作物了 simply by taking cuttings.
你现在要做的是 All you gonna do
混入少量肥料 is mix up a little bit of compost
加些沙进去 with some porter cultural sand.
往肥料里加沙是为了 The reason why you add sand to the compost
使土壤变得疏松 is create a light arry consistency.
如果土壤中有空隙存在 So, the reason so much resistance
新插的枝条就容易扎根生长 so that young roots pushing down.
也能防止剪下的枝条底部腐烂 And also prevent the base of the cutting from rotting.
沙与肥料比在1比3 A quarter sand to three quarters compost
最为适宜 will do fine.
用手把土装进花盆 Pop into a pot firming down with your hand,
少量浇点水 and give it a light drizzle of water.
千万别浇太多 Talk about overkill.
然后你只要拿来剪下的枝条 All you gonna do is take your clipping,
摘除大部分叶子 and remove most of its leaves.
否则就容易腐烂 Cuz they can cause such a rot.
切时要仔细 And give it a good slice.
只需切到关节处 Just at the union
就是连接茎叶的部位 where the leaves join the stem.
肥料里留个小洞 Make a little hole in your compost
插入切好的那株植物 and insert your cutting.
确保大部分种到泥土里去 Making sure most of it is below soil level.
若你将这置于避光温暖的地方 If you pot this in a shady warm place,
它只需几周 it'll grow roots and become it's own little plant
便会生根发芽长大 in just a couple of weeks.
每家每户都免不了受虫害影响 Every home gets the occasional insect.
有一种虫让每个人都伤透脑筋 But there's one species that drives everyone mad
它们肆无忌惮蚕食你心爱的衣服 by feasting on your favorite pully.
那就是臭名昭著的布蛾 and that's the notorious cloth moth.
太可恶了 Horrible!
这里肯定有家蛾子住着 There've must been bring up a family of nineteen moth on this log.
Vicky是位喜剧演员 Vicky is a burlesque performer,
她有很多戏服 and she owns loads of vantage clothing,
但几乎全都无法幸免于难 but nothing is safe from the moth.
几件被毁得不成样子 There's a couple piece of cloths that got really hard.
一件40年代戏服上被咬出一条窟窿 There's a lining of a 40's coats.
底部破了个大洞 So it's got big holes of the bottom
像被烟之类的烫过 almost like cigarette burns or something.
Shirley Swalger也面临相同的境遇 Shirley Swalger has also met a similar fate
这些暗藏的衣服杀手无处不在 from these invisible cloth killers.
还咬出团来了 So it's a pattern.
所幸这件还好好的 Thank so far that's all right.
呃 不 Oh, no.
它们怎么总咬前面 They will get right from the front, won't they?
为什么不袭击后面 Why didn't they do the back?
起码可以假装没看到 At least you get away with it and ignore...
我试过用天然防虫剂来缓解状况 I have tried to comfort is an more of natural repellents.
但问题是那味道太重了 Problem is the smell of the comfort.
满屋子 甚至后院都是刺激性气味 It is very pungent smell that does follow the yards of the house.
后来我就转移了工作室 蛾子太讨厌了 Then I take my turning of works. Many moth mope.
是个苍蝇 不是飞蛾 It's a fly, not a moth.
它们不是飞蛾 Oh, well, they aren't moths either.
毁衣不倦的并非成年飞蛾 It's not the adult but the larvae of cloth moths
而是其幼虫 that causes the damage.
它们通过蚕食头发和羊毛中的角蛋白 They attack your clothing by feeding on the keratin
来破坏衣物 which is been in hair and wool.
所以我们的冬装布满了小洞 Hence the holes in our winter warmers.
多亏Shirley和Vicky Thankfully for Shirley and Vicky,
让人们知道我的不仅仅适用于日常小病 my remedies aren't just for everyday ailment,
灭虫也一样适用 they can also be used as pest control.
我将用常见的药草 I'm going to make moth repellent bags
来制作一种防蛾香囊 out of some everyday garden herbs.
这叫苦艾 This is wormwood.
苦艾对驱散大部分昆虫都有效 Although wormwood's effective against the whole range of insects,
对布蛾效果尤为显著 it's particularly deadly to cloth moths.
它的拉丁名叫中亚苦蒿 Its latin name is Artemisia absinthium,
名字就包含了其作用 which really betrays the fact
它是19世纪流行的 that with the key ingredient in the 19th century
苦艾酒中的主料 drink absinth.
这种植物包含名为崔柏酮的 The plant contains hallucinogenic
致幻致瘾物质 and addictive substance called thujone.
相较于致幻 While I think however is way more exciting
它更容易让人兴奋 than its hallucinogenic properties
因为它能防虫灭虫 is the fact that it's insecticidal and insect repellent.
你肯定能猜到我高中时有多酷 You can tell I was cool in highschool.
为了尽可能地灭虫 To insure maximum deadliness,
我要请出这种植物 I'm gonna tack team this guy up
与另两种让飞蛾闻风丧胆的药草组合 with two other herbs which moths hate.
鼠尾草和迷迭香 Sage and rosemary.
这次我不再用新鲜的植物了 But I'm not using them fresh,
我会花上一周把它们风干 these are been drying out for a week,
这样能保存久点 which gives them a longer life.
真正击退害虫的物质 The thing that really repel these insects is
是精油所散发的气味 the scent of the essential oil.
所以假如你购买这种干草药 So if you're buying these dried herbs,
很重要的一点是嗅一嗅 it's important you're able to sniff them
看有无散发气味 and they produce smell.
做这些工作完全不伤脑细胞 Making these is the dictionary definition of no-brainer.
你只需弄碎这些干草药即可 All you gonna do is crumble up some of these dry herbs.
我猜虫子们一定想不到 By using a deadly cocktail ingredients,
鸡尾酒配料也能致命 these guys are not gonna know what's hid.
每个香囊 For one bag,
我会放大约两匙 I'm using approximately two table spoons each
干燥的迷迭香 苦艾和狗尾草 of dry rosemary, wormwood and sage.
你需要把所有料 All you gonna do is pop this stuff
装进小布袋 into a little muslin bag.
这样你就差不多完成了 What you're effectively creating
一个充满异香的香袋 is potpourri stuck in the bag.
加些伏特加 A few splashes of vodka
有益于精油的散发 will help release the essential oils.
让气味更强烈 更好地驱虫 Making a stronger smelling and more repellent to the insects.
我从没想到自己会做个香囊 I never thought I'll catch myself making potpourri things.
但最初发明香囊的本意 就是用做杀虫剂 But potpourri is originally developed as an insecticide.
而且很有效 并将一直起效 And it was effecive and continue to be effective.
若你藏好这香囊 And you know what, if you hide it, one of these muslin bags,
你的衣物绝对能妥善保存好 your maskinges stays intact.
现在你就把它们挂到衣橱里 Now you hang these up,
药效能持续3个月 it'll last for 3 months in your wardrobe.
很棒的一点是 And the great thing is,
要是你觉得没什么味道了 once its smell start dieing down,
只要像这样碾压 if you give them a quick scrunch like that,
就能揉散组织结构 you'll break up some of the cell structure,
释放出第二波精油 releasing a second wave of the essential oils.
谁能想到一个小小的香囊 Who would thought a chemical wall for against insects
就能用来防虫呢 will come up with a package like that.
Shirley和Vicky已经 Shirley and Vicky have each been using
试用了3周防蛾香囊 the moth repellent bags for 3 weeks.
和这件羊绒衫挂一起吧 Along here with the cashmere, I think.
不知效果如何呢 So how do they get on?
这气味似曾相识 The smell reminds me of something.
我也说不清是什么 I'm not entirely sure what.
但我已经把我的旧驱虫剂给丢了 But I returned my old pest bags.
但这些蛾子吃不吃这套呢 But have the moths been so keen?
我三周前挂上这个防蛾香囊的 This since I pit the moth poles off about 3 weeks ago
我就连一只飞蛾都没再看到过了 I haven't seen a single moth, so...
所以这个方法很有用 that's a long-qualified success.
我唯一看到的一只蛾子 The only cloth moth I've seen was in...
还是在某天坐电梯的时候 ...lift as I came up one day.
我就把它抓上来 And I tried to bring it in
想试试防蛾香囊 in order to see how it reacted.
但我没得逞 But I didn't have any success.
所以绝对不会还有虫子藏在衣橱里 So we don't see them hide in at all so...
要是真能有效驱虫 那越久越好 if that's what keeping them away, long may it last.
