Fall Harvest: Motherwort Tincture
Fall harvest! Soon to be motherwort tincture: (Leonurus cardiaca) this 'lion-hearted' medicinal botanical from the mint family may be helpful for calming, for reducing anxiety, (who can't use that these days?) can help relieve palpitations, and is useful for PMS irritability. She can also be used as a mild diuretic and bitter tonic for digestive health. She was a volunteer this year, and a welcome addition to my medicinal backyard.

Our YT Sunflower Meditation
Enjoy one of our YouTube summer meditations. Here is our tribute to Sunflowers:
Sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) are in a genus that contains about 70 different species, and it is in the Asteracea family, which is the ragweed family of plants. Its botanical name, Helianthus, comes from the Greek word, helios, meaning the sun. SPIRITUALLY, Sunflowers represent spiritual knowledge and a worshiper's devotion to seeking the light of truth. It symbolizes faith and adoration for All-That-Is, the true faith and loyalty to something that is much bigger and brighter than themselves. For thousands of years, they've been held in high regard by many cultures to give protection and enlightenment. Its yellow petals represent the sun, the solar plexus and happiness. Who does not derive happiness when passing a field of sunflowers with their happy faces following the sun throughout the sky? TRADITIONAL and THERAPEUTIC uses for sunflowers range from the seeds for food, flour and oil (they contain Vitamins A and E and some from the B group, iron, sodium, phosphorus and calcium), and the petals contain anthocyanicglycosides, betaine and carotenoids (for eye health). Due to its deep roots and ability to soak up water and harmful substances, thousands and thousands of hectares were planted around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to help remediate the radioisotopes from the soil! ENERGETICALLY, sunflowers are the ones to call on when you need to live like a superhero, and they are a powerful reminder or our Divinity. Who doesn't need both of those in 2020?

What gorgeous weather to be out in the yard gathering wild spring greens!
WAIT! Don't toss those weeds you just yanked, instead, make pesto with those greens! While we're all still on quarantine, use what you have around:
Wild carrot, yarrow, plantain, ground ivy, purple dead nettle, artemisia, dandelion leaves, garlic mustard, heal all, violet flowers. Toss in food processor with olive oil, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, garlic. This time I also used some walnuts and a teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese. Freeze some to add to soups, chili or stews, or just another simple meal packed with nutrients. Partner with gluten-free sweet potato crackers, and sit outside to enjoy! I am.

by Andrew W. Saul
(OMNS Mar 3, 2020) The government of Shanghai, China has announced its official recommendation that COVID-19 should be treated with high amounts of intravenous vitamin C. (1) Dosage recommendations vary with severity of illness, from 50 to 200 milligrams per kilogram body weight per day to as much as 200 mg/kg/day.
These dosages are approximately 4,000 to 16,000 mg for an adult, administered by IV. This specific method of administration is important, says intravenous therapy expert Atsuo Yanagisawa, MD, PhD, because vitamin C's effect is at least ten times more powerful by IV than if taken orally. Dr. Yanagisawa is president of the Tokyo-based Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy. He says, "Intravenous vitamin C is a safe, effective, and broad-spectrum antiviral."
Richard Z. Cheng, MD, PhD, a Chinese-American specialist physician, has been working closely with medical and governmental authorities throughout China. He has been instrumental in facilitating at least three Chinese clinical IV vitamin C studies now underway. Dr. Cheng is presently in Shanghai continuing his efforts to encourage still more Chinese hospitals to implement vitamin C therapy incorporating high oral doses as well as C by IV.
Dr. Cheng and Dr. Yanagisawa both recommend oral vitamin C for prevention of COVID-19 infection.
An official statement from Xi'an Jiaotong University Second Hospital (2) reads:
"On the afternoon of February 20, 2020, another 4 patients with severe new coronaviral pneumonia recovered from the C10 West Ward of Tongji Hospital. In the past 8 patients have been discharged from hospital. . . [H]igh-dose vitamin C achieved good results in clinical applications. We believe that for patients with severe neonatal pneumonia and critically ill patients, vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after admission. . .[E]arly application of large doses of vitamin C can have a strong antioxidant effect, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve endothelial function. . . Numerous studies have shown that the dose of vitamin C has a lot to do with the effect of treatment. . . [H]gh-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels, but more importantly, can prevent and treat acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress (ARDS)."
