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.

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

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.

High in tannins: they bind iron and blunt oral medications, so leave two hours either side of anything you take on a schedule. Skip it in pregnancy or if you're anemic. And be certain of your identification — alder is not buckthorn, and buckthorn is a violent purgative. If you're eighty percent sure about the tree, buy the bark instead. #Herbalism #Herbalist #Alder #Feàrna #FolkMedicine #Foraging #Botany #Nature #Gardening #Druid #Folklore #Gàidhlig

Grey alder — Alnus incana, feàrna. For the throat that's been screaming.
Dried inner bark only, aged several months, never fresh — fresh bark will make you vomit, which is exactly why the old preparation insists on the drying. One teaspoon to a cup, simmered ten minutes, strained, cooled to warm. Gargle and spit. Good as an external wash on weepy skin and foot soaks.

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.

A mind running hot all week wants the slow medicine.

Lion's mane, simmered low forty minutes — a decoction, not a quick steep — until the broth turns faintly sweet and the shaggy flesh goes tender. Drink it warm.

↳ (self-reply 1) The old herbalists reached for the slow simmer to draw the deep medicine out of a tough thing. Lion's mane gives it up only to patience.

Tip a spoonful of fennel seed into a dry pan, no oil, and shake until the kitchen goes to licorice and warm earth. Ninety seconds.
Chew a pinch after a heavy plate — lus an t-saoidh, the herb of ease. Raw seed is medicine; toasted seed is medicine that tastes like it wants to be there.

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.

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

#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."

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)

"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:

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.
