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

The leaf is fan-shaped and split down the middle like a small green pair of lungs, on a tree that has been around for fuckin longer than most of us have.

Standardized extract is the measure, usually 120–240mg daily, and it honestly helps your memory state hold true. It does mine anyway. It can and does help.

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?

Chamomile steam for lungs the wildfire summer keeps filling with ash.

Camobhil — the little apple-scented daisy — has soothed inflamed airways since long before there were air-quality apps. Ten minutes of slow breathing through the steam.

"Your silence will not protect you." Audre Lorde wrote it in the terror of a body running out of time, and it outlived her because it was never only about her. Today's issue holds the fury and the tending both: skullcap for the worn nerve, a jaw release, the mimosa blooming on schedule anyway.

#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."
