#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.
What do you reach for when the weather gets into your joints?

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

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.

What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

Learn about which plants might work you in your home and office. #houseplants #creativity #herbalism #boostyourcreativity #writingtips #writing advice #booktok

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.

- Frequenz A: On the 24th of February 2025 we did a interview with a Dasko an antifascist and a radio moderator from Novi Sad. We talked about current uprising going on in Serbia starting from November 2024, its history and demands, about students and teachers who are the main drivers of this protests, why it should be supported by anarchists and progressive left and what solidarity is needed. This is only a part of the interview and you can find the whole interview as links to sources with further information here:https://frequenza.noblogs.org/post/2025/03/13/interview-serbia-uprising

- Parias radioshow: We made an interview with Omar, who we used to collaborate with on the radiozones of subversive expression. He spoke to us about the big issue of the day in Greece, the state murder in Tempti area 2 years ago, the recent demonstrations in Greece and around the world, the provocateurs and the questioning of the political system as a corrupted one.

- Kilavo Seme: Kilavo Seme – agro-program from Radio Študent conducted an interview with comrades from Cluj Napoca, romania, that are organizing the 2nd Radical Herbalists and Mycrophiles Gathering from 5th till 8th of June."

"The #cannabis plant contains hundreds of chemical compounds. Among them #Cannabinoids , #flavonoids and #terpenes are the most relevant. Delta-nine #THC and #CBD are the most abundant cannabinoids and therefore the most studied.

However there are other minor cannabinoids such as delta-eight thc, #thca , thcv, cbg, #cbn , cbc which have been investigated to have therapeutic value (Izzo et al. 2009).

Although the compounds may have therapeutic effects taken alone (as in HEMP-derived isolate), their combined action when present together in whole plants (actually complete flower) extracts, is GREATER than the sum of their individual effects (up to 6x more potent according to recent studies). This enhanced and synergistic response is known as the #entourageeffect .

The combined action of cannabinoids and other molecules in the plant may present clinical advantages such as lower adverse effects and greater efficacy on the therapeutical management of several conditions, such as #anxiety , #depression , #pain , #inflammation , #cancer and bacterial / fungi #infectiousdiseases

If other forms of healing interest you, beyond masking symptoms with synthetic proprietary mono-molecules, check this link for a more up-to-date text on cannabis and the entourage effect:

Pine cones never cease to amaze me. They go through seemingly endless transformations, handling each of their many stages of change and growth with such grace. Truly an inspiration.

I saw this one yesterday when I went #foraging for #pineneedles. The sun highlighted it for me, a picture-perfect moment despite the strong wind! The snow we got is finally melting away. It feels like spring is just around the corner with how everything's starting to thaw. It's been a strange, heavy winter this time around. Sometimes we need help seeing and pivoting our attention accordingly. I know #witchcraft is seasonal for others too, as it is for me.

The colours almost remind me of a mango. Bright and shining. 🥭

As for the #pine needles, I made jelly with them, adding in #homemade tangerine 🍊 jam for their immune boosting effects. Aside from The Virus, there's a lot of flus and other such nasties going about, and while we still mask, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

I place great trust in my #plantmedicine. Continuing #herbalism the way my #Ancestors have been practicing it is such a blessing. It's what inspired me to start creating content online in the first place, wanting to share the joy and love I have for my culture and to help foreigners approach #hellenicpolytheism and #greekculture respectfully and in an educated manner.

I also wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who take a moment to interact with my posts here! It's encouraging me to share more.
