Golden poppy is one of my favorite herbs. Its soothing, protective properties make it invaluable for weathering storms--the jar of unstrained tincture that lives under my car seat has seen quite a few 😂 On January 29th, we'll be taking a deep dive into how herbs like golden poppy can help us cope with and heal from traumatic experiences and stress, as well as when they might not be the best idea. Registration opens TOMORROW! There's a limited number of live spots, so grab them while they're open (and please indicate on the form if you're only planning on watching the recording!). There's a self-assessed sliding scale, but everyone is welcome regardless of their ability to donate. More information at the "workshops" link in my bio, and feel free to comment, dm or email with any questions! #goldenpoppy #californiapoppy #herbalism #herbalistsofinstagram #slidingscalehealing #anarchoherbalism #madliberation #psychiatricabolition https://www.instagram.com/p/CnApi2uPjWN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saltwort (called "almyra" in Greek) growing wild on the beach. Read more below about the fascinating history of that plant! Learn more about our online courses on herbal medicine & aromatherapy in jointheflow.net Discover my books on bodywork and more: amzn.to/3xhaNey Young leaves and stems can be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves can be used as a spinach substitute or added in small quantities to salads. The seed is edible too. It can be ground into a meal and used as a gruel, thickener in soups etc., or added to cereal flours when making bread. However, the seed is small and hard to collect any quantity. The ashes of the burnt plant are used for making glass and soap. At one time large quantities of the ashes were imported into Britain for this purpose, but nowadays a chemical process using salt is employed. The ashes can also be used as a cleaner for fabrics.  #salsola #saltwort #glasswort #greekbeaches #wildmedicine #wildgourmet #greekflora #greekherbs #herbnerd #wildherbs #botany #botanicalmedicine #medicinalherbs #myherbalstudies #healingherbs #foraging #herbalistsofinstagram #herbalremedies #primitiveskills #survivalskills #urbanherbalist #herbalremedies #apothecary #ethnobotany #ethnobotanist Text credit: Wikipedia & pfaf.

Being not much of a religious person although definitely spiritual, I didn’t realize until I sat down to eat this that I was a day early for #roshhashana ... Baked apples with honey, sage , onion and cinnamon and potato pancakes and chicken sausage. It was just really good on an autumn evening where the chill in the air and the scent of the fruit ripening in the garden was almost an aphrodisiac. Happy New Year to you all... I hope it’s sweet and blessed with love and tenderness. We are all in this together. #jewwitch #witch #happy #blessed #potato #potatopancakes #apples #appleseason #chickensausage #sage #herbs #herbalist #culinaryherbs #herbalistsofinstagram (at The Herban Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFR97T6JSYD/?igshid=1xkasqn5qgpqj

Xanthoria parietina and Physcia lichens, growing on mulberry bark. Read more below! Learn more about our online courses on herbal medicine & aromatherapy in jointheflow.net Discover my books on bodywork and more: amzn.to/3xhaNey Xanthoria and Physcia lichens grow in similar environments, and therefore they can be often seen together.  A lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship.  Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but are not plants. They may have tiny, leafless branches (fruticose); flat leaf-like structures (foliose); crust-like, adhering tightly to a surface (substrate) like a thick coat of paint (crustose); a powder-like appearance (leprose); or other growth forms.

Xanthoria parietina lichen, growing on pine bark. Read more below! Learn more about our online courses on herbal medicine & aromatherapy in jointheflow.net Discover my books on bodywork and more: amzn.to/3xhaNey Xanthoria parietina prefers growing on bark and wood; it is found more rarely on rock. The upper surface is some shade of yellow, orange, or greenish yellow, almost green when growing in shady situations, while the lower surface is white, with a cortex, and with sparse pale rhizines or hapters. The outer "skin" of the lichen, the cortex, is composed of closely packed fungal hyphae and serves to protect the thallus from water loss due to evaporation as well as harmful effects of high levels of irradiation. In Xanthoria parietina, the thickness of the thalli is known to vary depending on the habitat in which it grows. Thalli are much thinner in shady locations than in those exposed to full sunshine; this has the effect of protecting the algae that cannot tolerate high light intensities. The lichen pigment parietin gives this species a deep yellow or orange-red color. The water extract of X. parietina has good antiviral activity in vitro, inhibiting the replication of human parainfluenza virus type 2. In the past it was used as a remedy for jaundice because of its yellow color. Photo taken by me, all rights reserved.
