  1. Tastes like hay and honey and a little like the meadow's own sweat. A blood-mover. An old friend to the lymph.

    My grandmother never called it a phytoestrogen.

    She'd have said it cools the blood, and she'd have been right on the merits.

    What do you reach for when the blood runs hot?

  6. Red clover — seamrag dhearg. Pick the blossoms in full sun after the dew burns off, when the heads are dry and springy and the bees have had their turn.

    Steep a heaping tablespoon in near-boiling water, covered, ten minutes. Covered matters — that's the whole medicine going up your ceiling otherwise.

  11. Luibh a' chridhe — the herb of the heart.

    Motherwort, the lion's-tail. A strong short steep of the dried leaf when the chest won't settle and the news has your pulse over-revved. The Latin cardiaca earns its keep — generations of women reached for the lion's-tail when the heart wouldn't quiet.

  16. The jaw you've clenched since November has a plant that answers it.

    Bruise a scant teaspoon of culinary lavender between your fingers and steep it three minutes — no longer, or it turns to soap — in warm milk before bed. Lus na tùise, the herb of fragrance. The calm isn't folklore; it's linalool, easing the nervous system down off the ledge.

  21. The grey beard on the old oaks after rain — crotal in the Gaelic, the lichen the trees wear like a wizard's whiskers. You can't cold-steep usnea; the usnic acid barely dissolves in water.

    What do you reach for when the air turns against you?

  26. Tip a spoonful of fennel seed into a dry pan, no oil, and shake until the kitchen goes to licorice and warm earth. Ninety seconds.
    Chew a pinch after a heavy plate — lus an t-saoidh, the herb of ease. Raw seed is medicine; toasted seed is medicine that tastes like it wants to be there.
