Charcoal, saltpeter, sulphur
Great. What do you do with them?
search google for uses, while your wasting time and relaxing
I make an insect spray out of tea tree oil. It kills brown recluse spiders and does not harm the cats.
Use a long fuse. ;-)
You find diamonds and big bamboo tubes. When the Gorn gets close enough, BANG.

I buy Sulfur soap for my skin. I remember my grandparents using Saltpeter for something but forget what.
It cleans up bad culture.
Grind up in a proper proportion, then wet down and form a solid cake. Allow to dry, then flake into small granules. Avoid heat and sparks or be ready for festivities to break out.
Food for thought from a closely matched discipline I have found knowledgeable.
Everybody is different, with a different predisposition, so the things these do to each person may be different.
For example, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, some people are hot, and some are cold, which I think relates to GI bacterial growth, with hot having a slight over growth of microbes in the GI tract (and associated warmth/inflammation), and cool being an undergrowth, with too low a level of immune activity that doesn’t do enough to keep invaders at bay. The hot people benefit from cooling herbs, and the cool people benefit from warming herbs.
In TCM, Epsom salt is like an herb called Mang Xaio (sodium sulfate), which is strongly cold. It will be great for people who run warm, and reduce their inflammation, but it will slow down and cloud up people who run cool to begin with, and maybe casue them to get frequent minor infections.
Notice the poster here who says Capscacin, Tumeric, and ginger. Those are all warming herbs. I would guess he is older, and maybe runs cool, maybe even lives in a colder environment, so those warm him up, and bring him back into balance. I think he would probably find epsom salt to not work well over the long term.
So the point being, according to a lot of health systems with thousands of years of observations, there will not be one silver bullet. Rather you have to try what other people say works, but recognize it could have the opposite effect in you. If it works, great, but if it doesn’t stop and try something else.
You measure them out, by weight, grind them into a powder, then use them to propel objects out of gun barrels.
