  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. But you have to be careful.

    Ginkgo thins the blood and belongs nowhere near warfarin, aspirin, or the two weeks before surgery.

    The raw seeds are toxic. Always check with the Doc before doing it.

    What it honestly offers: a steady nudge on peripheral circulation and the cold hands that come with it. An old tree doing its job.

  4. 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.

  5. There are some very cool rewards in this Kickstarter for the upcoming PM Press edition of Herbalism and State Violence, edited by Nicole Rose. Maybe a fun way to pre-order it?

    I have been making due with the ebook and it is fantastic, but I'm really looking forward to a North American paperback edition.

  6. Grilled Branzino with Tomato-Olive Salsa

    Each forkful of grilled branzino with a tangy, briny salsa is pure Mediterranean summer—smoky and sweet, sharp and salty, bright and herby all at once. Photo Credits: Ali Redmond My Family’s Grilled Branzino Recipe My father-in-law, ra…

  7. There's nothing better than a handful of fresh herbs to finish off a delicious pot of dinner—and nothing worse than discovering that most of the expensive little package decomposed in your refrigerator. Margie Siegal shares easy and inexpensive tips to grow fresh herbs yourself. alamedapost.com/features/natur

  8. Made #GreenGoddess dip with all #garden #herbs and Matt’s Greek-style home made yogurt & some feta.

    It’s the comfort food I need. I moved from Rosemary triscuits to focaccia bread. 💚💚💚

  9. I think my herb harvest eyes were bigger than my “novelty” dehydrator’s capacity 😁

    Thyme and rosemary can wait ‘till tomorrow. Sage, basil, bay, lemon verbena and marjoram now scenting the flat.

    In other garden news - lots of veggie plants ripped out due to fungal infections, and big pumpkins harvested. Plenty of fruit lost to wasps too.

  10. I feel like at this point we could refer to Quadra Village as the Herb District. Two herb shops from different traditions (Green Muse and Spring Wellness), plus the free apothecary at the anarchist infoshop, plus the Chinese medicinal herb section at Fairway, plus 2 public herb gardens (Wark Park and the People's Apothecary garden), plus the pharmacy with a big tea aisle... and a lot of the boulevard trees are hawthorn 🌱🍒🫖🫚

  11. Allium parryi (Parry's Fringed Onion) for #WildflowerWednesday; photographed in San Diego's Laguna Mountains.

    Fun fact: the onion family used to be Alliaceae, but it has been "demoted" into a sub-family of the Amaryllidaceae family recently.

    The name of the sub-family is Allioideae which is a pretty great word for learning how to yodel! 🤣
