#herbalism — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Cùm do chasan air an talamh — keep your feet on the ground.

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

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

Aran — bread.

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.

They come back. Every time, visibly. Wilting is water leaving the cells, not decay, and the plant will drink it straight back up through the cut.
The American household throws out roughly a third of what it buys, and a meaningful slice of that was never spoiled. Only thirsty.
Cost: nothing. Time: unattended. Go look in your crisper drawer.

Here's the part worth knowing: the milk wants to do this. You aren't manufacturing anything. You're letting an acid finish a job that was already half done.

And the light in a kitchen where somebody just made cheese out of heat and a lemon is a particular light. It doesn't require anyone's permission or anyone's brand.

Off the heat, half a cup of lemon juice or plain white vinegar, stir once, then leave it completely alone for ten minutes while it breaks into white curd and thin green whey. Through a cheesecloth-lined colander, salt it, press it under a plate and a heavy can for twenty.

The whey goes into tomorrow's rice or the cornbread, not the drain.

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.

Before the feed: press both feet to the floor, name five things you can hear, let your body clock that you're here. The jaw stores the words we swallow — box-breathe it loose. Tulsi for the raw nerve, dandelion root for the liver that's processed rage since January.

The week stole your iron back. Take it back. Steep a fistful of dried nettle—deanntag, the sting that heals once dried—covered, 15 minutes, until it's deep-moss green. Drink it warm. The plant that bites the hand in the field gives that hand its minerals across the winter.

Saps que el trepó o herba blenera (Verbascum thapsus - gordolobo), a part de les seves virtuts més conegudes com a tònic i depuratiu respiratori (🍃 infu), planta fumable (🍃) i remei per otitis (🏵️ oleat), és un regulador de la inflamació fantàstic (planta sencera però sense llavors)?

Conté principis actius molt similars a l'arrel d'Harpagophytum procumbens (urpa del diable, harpagofit) planta africana que el nostre abandó i desconeixement dels remeis propis està posant en perill d'extinció i deixant als pobles que l'han tingut com a remei durant generacions sense capacitat de gaudir-lo.

Algun dia en faré la fitxa perquè és una herba que m'agrada molt i té moltes virtuts i aplicacions diverses.
Si en saps alguna, la pots explicar dins el fil i aprenem juntes.

(També es pot menjar i per això podria ser que en parléssim a l'excursió "silvestres i comestibles" del 3/5; i tradicionalment s'ha cremat i per això en parlarem al taller d'encens del 2/5, pots fer combo 😉) www.jardidelesbruixes.cat/agenda

Just got home from a relaxing and energizing #Ostara ritual with the Divine Warrior Witches—always a good time with good folks. (For tonight’s ritual they incorporated brief #OracleCard readings from a deck that combines #astrology and #herbalism.)
