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

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

A plant that cannot hurt you generally cannot help you either, and anybody selling you the first without the second is selling you a mood.

Not with liver disease, not pregnant, not nursing, not on any medication a pharmacist hasn't cleared. Do not drive on it. Noble root only, cultivar named, no stems, no leaves, and not daily for weeks on end.
Real medicine has real edges. #Herbalism #Herbs #Kava #Plants #FoodAsMedicine #Apothecary #Botany #Gardening #Nature #Science #Druid #Folklore #ActuallyAutistic

Kava kava.
A Pacific Island root, prepared as a cold-water infusion and drunk in the evening for anxiety and for a jaw that has been locked since Tuesday. The mouth goes faintly numb. That is the plant announcing itself and it is supposed to. Documented association with liver injury. Never with alcohol, acetaminophen, benzodiazepines or any sedative. #Herbalism #Herbs #Kava #Plants #FoodAsMedicine #Apothecary #Botany #Gardening #Nature #Science #Druid #Folklore #ActuallyAutistic

A plant to plant, not a plant to dose. Cha bhris am freumh — the root does not break.
What's the one you'd put in the ground knowing you won't see it finished?

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.

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

(al qual ja et pots inscriure i pel qual queden només 5 places)

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.

It works on the pituitary's schedule, not yours. Three cycles before you judge it. And if you're on HRT of any kind, tell your prescriber first — chasteberry has opinions about prolactin.

Chasteberry. One teaspoon dried, covered pot, fifteen minutes simmering, ten more off the heat. Peppery, faintly bitter, more broth than tea.
The old remedy for hormonal weather — the cycle that arrives sideways, the perimenopausal months that feel like being renovated from the inside.

Figwort, a' bhroinn-lus in the old tongue, the swelling-plant: a lymph and skin herb older than its Latin name. Dry the tops slow in shade, steep ten minutes covered. Bitter, green, honest. Butterfly tapping for the nerves the week rattled.

Tastes like hay and honey and a little like the meadow's own sweat. A blood-mover. An old friend to the lymph.
My grandmother never called it a phytoestrogen.
She'd have said it cools the blood, and she'd have been right on the merits.
What do you reach for when the blood runs hot?

Red clover — seamrag dhearg. Pick the blossoms in full sun after the dew burns off, when the heads are dry and springy and the bees have had their turn.
Steep a heaping tablespoon in near-boiling water, covered, ten minutes. Covered matters — that's the whole medicine going up your ceiling otherwise.

Georgia woke at 91° and still, kudzu up the phone lines on Moreland, cicadas started two weeks early — which the old folks read as a long hot summer coming.
The marigolds open anyway. Tha an talamh a' losgadh — the earth is burning — and the small gold flower turns its face straight into it.

Atlanta woke at 91° and dead still. Cicadas started two weeks early — the old folks read that as a long hot summer coming. The marigold opens straight into the heat trying to scorch it anyway.

Wood Betony for the cervical-occipital knot at the base of the skull. Plantain for the bee sting and the irritated gut. Cleavers for stagnant lymph. Three weeds that grow in Atlanta sidewalk cracks, with the pharmacology and the cautions laid out. Herbal medicine as daily resistance, not aesthetic:

The amygdala cannot distinguish a threat on a screen from a threat in the room. Both arrive as cortisol. Hawthorn for the heart — OPCs dilate coronary vessels, effects build over 6-8 weeks. Calendula for what's inflamed. Raspberry leaf for what's cycling. The body keeps score. Tend it like the land tends itself — without asking permission.
