Did you miss our blog on brain fog? here's an excerpt- Rosemary for Remembrance Shakespeare himself wrote Rosemary is for Remembrance and rosemary is one of our best and safest remedies for brain fog. One of the many symptoms of brain fog is forgetfulness. Where are my keys? What day is it? Who are You and more disturbing…Who am I? I will get to how rosemary assists in a minute but I have to say that 90 percent of the people I have given a rosemary remedy to have “remembered” their path and remembered a Calling to their purpose or who they are meant to be on this Earth. But I digress…. Rosemary is a circulatory tonic with an ascending nature. That means that rosemary is a remedy for making sure that the CSF actually reaches the brain and allows for cognitive acuity, keeping our thoughts on track. Rosemary can be taken as a tea or tincture and even worn as a crown if you are into that kind of thing. (I am and I have had apprentices who have created rosemary crowns to address chronic headache with some success, I might add) Rosemary can also be used as essential oil or fresh as a steam to utilise it’s aromatics. The actions of aromatics on brain fog can be profound and immediate as they clear away blockages and open pathways to perception. Aromatics have both a stimulating and sedating action on the nervous and limbic systems relaxing tensions and stimulating clarity- removing cloudy and elusive thoughts which are essentially brain fog.

ONE MONTH until we begin the 2023 Herbal Training Immersion. And we still have room for you! ☘️ Social media is funny. I am a herbalist and bodyworker, I have a million things to do and yet, everyday I post a "Hey all you plant lovers! You want to go learn a TON about herbs this year?" Why do I do it? Because I know that the program is good and I want you to have a firm grasp on how to practice herbal medicine using plants that grow around you. ☘️ So, dear reader, are you considering the training this year? I don't have a large following like a lot of other herb teachers here in the PNW. So, if you are in, sign up! If you know someone who is considering it- nudge them! Tag them, spread the word. 🌱 Ok, now back to regular programming, This picture is from a harvest of western coltsfoot at about 1000 feet up a cascade foothill. We kept going up that mountain road and harvested horsetail, nettle and did a lot of identification- wild violets, wild ginger, foxglove, fireweed, lichens, the list goes on.
