The land doesn't hold its shape that way. Two breaths, then: in through the nose, a second short sip stacked on top, out long and ragged. Three times.
That second sip is the part that actually reaches the nerve.

Your body has been braced since somebody said the small mean word at a fairground. Bracing isn't weakness — it's a nervous system doing the job it evolved for. The trouble is nobody ever tells the body when the thing is over, so it holds that shape into September, into a jaw that clicks and a shoulder that will not come down.

And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't.

Seileach. Willow bark, and it is not folklore standing next to medicine — it is where the medicine came from. Salicin in the inner bark, converted by your gut into salicylic acid, which is aspirin's own chemistry with the factory left off
A teaspoon or two of dried cut bark, just-boiled water, lid on, fifteen minutes. Wet fence post with a bitter finish that arrives late #Herbalism #Herbs #WillowBark #Apothecary #Foraging #Gàidhlig #Druid #Folklore #Gardening #BloomScrolling #Nature #Cooking

Read this part: skip it if pregnant or nursing, and talk to a doctor first if you take thyroid medication or sedatives, have an autoimmune condition, or any liver trouble. It's a nightshade. Short courses.

Half a teaspoon of ashwagandha root, cold into whole-milk yogurt, cinnamon, a thread of honey. Evening. No heat — everything else this month has already been simmered. It tastes like a barn in the rain and the yogurt carries it

There's no Gaelic name for this plant. It never grew anywhere near that coast, and I like saying so — the pharmacopoeia belongs to everybody or it belongs to none #Herbalism #Ashwagandha #FoodAsMedicine #Gaelic #Druid #Pagan #Witch #Plants #Apothecary

Pangrattato. Italian grandmothers have called it poor man's parmesan for four hundred years. Cost: nothing. Keeps a week in a jar.

Aran — bread.

What does your house do with the stale end?

The heel of the loaf and the two hard slices nobody wanted. Tear them with your hands — never a knife, the ragged edges are the entire point. Dry skillet, medium, a glug of oil, a smashed clove, salt. Six minutes, shaking.

They go the color of a paper bag and the kitchen smells like a bakery.

So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.

Bi socair — be still.

Hi ha plantes exòtiques que podem adoptar amb la consciència tranquil·la, perquè a casa nostra, es poden cultivar fàcilment i no es comporten com a invasores.
És una sort perquè, tot i que tinguem una planta autòctona per a cada necessitat, cap planta substitueix realment a una altra. Tota espècie te un caràcter propi que la fa única.

Em venen al cap l'equinàcia, l'artemisa dolça (A.annua), la bufera (ashwagandha), i la parra de cinc fulles. D'aquestes se n'ha parlat molt. Excepte de l'última.

El jiaogulan, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, carbassa xinesa o herbavinya, és una herba enfiladissa que conté uns compostos molt similars als del ginseng, però més potents.
Un adaptogen com pocs n'hi ha. Ajuda a millorar la salut general, augmenta la Força Vital, alleuja els mals, contribueix a la regeneració, redueix la inflamació sistèmica, i jo què sé quantes coses més. Una meravella apta per tots els temperaments i moments vitals. Un elixir de la Vida. Un immens regal del món vegetal. Mereix molt més text del que aquesta app ens permet. Fresca, es pot menjar sense més processat. Te un gust dolç, similar a la regalèssia però més suau. Jo en faig tintura, o la faig en pols i en faig uns troquiscs com els de la 2a foto . Els troquiscs són una forma remeiera fàcil d'elaborar que té dos avantatges clars:

🐍al no ser un extracte, no deixem fora cap principi curatiu de la planta.
🐍 per la forma com es prenen (llepant-los fins que es desfan, que és al cap de moooolta estona) permeten actuar a consciència sobre els teixits del sistema digestiu superior, i faciliten la penetració sublingual dels principis curatius.

Hipòcrates ja parlava dels troquiscs, però avui dia poca gent sap què són. Són un altre dels molts remeis utilíssims però oblidats, de l'antiga farmàcia mediterrània, la majoria dels quals explico amb detall al curs
🧪 Remeieria tradicional Mediterrània 🫖
(al qual ja et pots inscriure i pel qual queden només 5 places)
perquè puguem recuperar les eines imprescindibles per a l'autogestió de la salut.

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.

Grow lemon balm in a cracked mug of soil on any sill that catches light. Pinch the leaves fresh, steep five minutes in hot water. A tea that costs the price of a single seed packet. There's a particular light in a kitchen where someone has decided their own jangled nerves are worth a homegrown cup. The steam rises.

Off to bed now, my first day off in 5 days tomorrow. Retail is hard work. Got myself a nice sleepy dream tea with mugwort, chamomile, passion flower and lemon balm. Hoping for a lovely nights sleep with some vivid dreams. No alarms and no surprises (please)

Motherwort slows the anxiety pulse. Marshmallow root coats a gut burned raw by the news cycle. Bilberry pulls the screen-fatigue out of the eyes. The Daily Gathering carries plant medicine alongside the war reporting because the body keeps two ledgers and someone has to tend the one the news ignores.

#RockportME - Make Your Own #PersonalCareProducts Workshop

April 1 @ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

"Clinical #Herbalist #PatHarpell will lead a workshop at the #RockportPublicLibrary, teaching participants how to create their own personal care products. This free class, on Wednesday, April 1, at 1 p.m., is part of the Library’s 'Let’s Feel Better in 2026' series.

"Harpell emphasizes that personal care products are simple to make and free from the chemicals found in most store-bought products. During the workshop, participants will learn to make an all-natural lotion and facial cleanser using ingredients that are safe enough to consume. Attendees will take home their creations and receive instructions for making #LipBalm, #shampoo, hair rinse, and more.

"Harpell’s interest in skin care products originated from her research as a clinical herbalist. She encountered persistent, chronic conditions that resisted treatment from both modern and alternative medicine. This experience led her to advocate that the ingredients applied to the skin are just as important to consider as those put into the body. Harpell encourages participants to embrace this knowledge and host personal care product-making parties at home.

"The 90-min. program has a limited capacity of 16 participants. Interested individuals can register by calling the Rockport Library at 207-236-3642."
