Preserving Traditional Ecological Knowledge: #Indigenous Solutions to #ClimateChange

Last updated on:
September 13, 2025

"Indigenous communities around the world have developed profound relationships with their environments over thousands of years. This connection goes far beyond simple resource extraction-it represents a fundamentally different worldview where land is not property to be owned, but a living entity to be respected and protected. As climate change intensifies, threatening ecosystems and communities globally, the traditional ecological knowledge held by indigenous peoples offers practical, time-tested solutions that modern science is only beginning to appreciate."

I'm kind of curious about other people's approaches to #HerbalMedicine. How do you approach it? Information, intuition, a mixture? How did you learn about herbs? Do you feel that you've successfully treated yourself of an illness or ailment? #plants #gardening #herbs

I took a few #HerbalMedicine classes years ago. Many of the herbs they recommend are not the ones I have immediately available to me in my yard. For example, bidens alba is a common weed with medicinal uses that grows in the landscape here that I’d never heard of through my herbal education. You’re more likely to hear about nettles.

Also, I have no confidence in my ability to treat anything acute. Aside from eating veggies, I use #plants (or herbs) as health and nutrition supplements.

#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - #OurFoodNetwork AGM

Wednesday, 2 September 2026
5:30 pm 7:00 pm

Otago Community House, Level 6 Rimu Room
43 Princes Street
Dunedin, Otago Region, 9016 New Zealand

"Join us for a catch up and some nibbles, a talk from Skye Macfarlane with the opportunity to buy some Wild Dispensary Products, followed by the AGM. We are looking for more committee members to join this great group of people working on a really critical issue - making sure we can continue to feed ourselves

Skye Macfarlane is an #Ōtepoti - based natural health practitioner, #herbalist and Head Formulator at Wild Dispensary. She holds a Bachelor of Natural Medicine, alongside postgraduate qualifications in development studies and public health, and has more than a decade of experience in herbal medicine, product development and phytotherapy research.

At Wild Dispensary, Skye develops evidence-informed herbal products using locally grown and #NewZealandNativePlants, helping turn traditional herbal knowledge into practical products for modern life. She also co-operates a BioGro-certified organic market garden and medicinal herb farm in #Otago, works in food education and regional food resilience, and serves as Research Convenor on the Naturopaths & Medical Herbalists of New Zealand board. Her work brings together herbal medicine, local growing, sustainable business and a firm belief that good health begins with stronger connections to our food, plants and communities.

In this talk, Skye will share practical, evidence-informed winter wellness tips and introduce some of the herbs traditionally used during the colder months. She’ll also take us behind the scenes at Wild Dispensary, exploring how locally grown and native medicinal plants are transformed into contemporary herbal products, and the realities of building a values-led botanical business in Otago."

Most of our thyroid patients aren't actually thyroid patients. Treat the root cause, and the thyroid improves on its own. For example, the liver is the main conversion site for T4 to T3 is often the focus of treatment.

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.

It asks nothing but a weedy sunny corner. What do you reach for when a hard week rattles your heart?

Luibh a' chridhe — the herb of the heart.

Motherwort, the lion's-tail. A strong short steep of the dried leaf when the chest won't settle and the news has your pulse over-revved. The Latin cardiaca earns its keep — generations of women reached for the lion's-tail when the heart wouldn't quiet.

The weed in the sidewalk crack — common mallow— is the plant of the household, some of the old tongues called it.

Simmer the young leaves slow eight or ten minutes until the pot turns silky. That silk is mucilage, and it's the whole gift — it soothes a throat the summer smoke scraped raw.

It grows free in the one place nobody thinks to look.

I’ve posted these purple pom poms before. My mom bought me a gomphrena plant last summer and I saved the seeds. I learned they’re a type of amaranth and I have them growing in six or seven spots all over the garden. I figured since they’re amaranth, they must be edible so I looked it up and it turns out you can use the flowers to make a tea that has many medicinal properties. I even found a scientific paper about it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/393431256_The_Globe_Amaranth_in_Focus_Therapeutic_Prospects_and_Phytochemical_Riches_of_Gomphrena_globosa_L

I began to notice evening primrose a year or two ago even though it had been there all along, growing as a weed throughout the neighborhood. I'd also just begun experiencing perimenopause.

Now, I've learned it's an herb used to support health and maintain balance throughout every phase of menopause.

Tulsi — holy basil — for the nerve the heat fried.

A handful of fresh leaves, or a teaspoon dried, steeped five minutes lid-on, drunk cooled or iced. An adaptogen that takes the heat-frayed nerve and talks it down, clove-scented. The Gaelic kitchen never knew this plant. The body knows it anyway.

And if the heat or the news puts a hand on your sternum today: press your own palm flat over your breastbone, hum one long low note until you feel it buzz under your hand.

Tha do chorp a' cuimhneachadh. Your body remembers. The vagus nerve answers to that frequency when it answers to nothing else.
