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

Prairie is among the most destroyed habitats on this continent, and this is one of its markers.

Everything you can see of it is built to be burned off.

The taproot goes fifteen feet down into ground nobody has broken since before there was a state there. Some live close to a century.

Nine feet up in the tallgrass, leaves turned north and south to duck the midday sun. That's how it got the name — and how people once took a bearing on open ground with nothing else to sight on.

Silphium laciniatum. Blooming right now through September.

An talamh fodhad — the earth beneath you, keeping its own record of what this summer was.

What's the plant in your ditch that hasn't opened yet?

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.

Walk your block. Check the stone walls, the old headstones, the north side of the trees.

What's growing on the stone where you are?

Do not eat it. Lichens absorb everything from the air; that's their whole nature, and it makes many of them mildly toxic and all of them efficient collectors of whatever drifts past.

The medicine isn't in the mouth. It's in the reading. Lichen is the oldest air-quality monitor ever built.

Look on old stone. A thick pale crust, gray to buff, broken into small tiles with a darker rim, welded flat against granite anywhere the sun is hard and the water is scarce.

Lobothallia alphoplaca. Not a plant. A fungus and an alga that gave up living separately so long ago the arrangement counts as one organism now, growing a fraction of a millimetre a year.

Ara és el moment de collir les fulles de cep més vermelles que trobis.
Aquests pigments que la planta produeix per poder aprofitar la llum tardorenca per la fotosíntesi, ajuden a protegir l'epiteli vascular. (Això vol dir que van bé per totes les malalties en què els vasos sanguinis estan danyats o han perdut salut)

Tant en ús intern com tòpic.

Jo les preparo en alcoholat (que quan és per ús intern també s'anomena tintura).

Però també es poden prendre en infusió.

Si vols aprendre a preparar aquest i molts altres tipus de preparats, no t'hauries de perdre el curset d'iniciació a la remeieria del 14-16/11 a La Mandorla (Cornudella de Monstant)
200€ amb tot inclòs (pensió completa)

Hidden Lotus Herbs is getting ready to move to our new #farm site and really ramp up our operations!

For some backstory,
I was the recipient of a fund from @coop to start a worker-owned #cooperative and decided to make it an herbal apothecary!

We've been operational for around six months and are now starting our regenerative agroecological farm and increasing the capacity of our free clinic.

However, the #renewableenergy systems we're building are more expensive than we budgeted for, and we could use some help getting the farm and clinic going financially.

We're really needing help from our community to make all this cool stuff happen!

If you can spare some $, please consider supporting our transition and future. If you can't, please share far and wide!

Thanks <3

If you enjoy Scotch-whisky based herbal liquors such as Drambuie; and

If you're also on board with the kitchen-herbalist trend of making sage-infused honey to treat/soothe winter throat ailments; then

I'm here to tell you that stirring a spoonful of sage honey into your wee dram of the-best-you-can-afford bottom-shelf blended Scotch makes a very nice gesture at the expensive liqueur.

The other day I posted some cool research about olive leaf and Covid. I’m going to write a blog post about it soon. But at the time I was looking for decent olive pictures in my phone and couldn’t find any easily. Today I took some.
