Naming your concoctions is half the fun! Doesn’t

Naming your concoctions is half the fun! Doesn’t even just saying the name BREATH OF THE FOREST make you want to take a deep, cleansing breath?!?

❓What’s a favorite concoction/formula/potion/medicine name you’ve created or just LOVE❓

This past Saturday in herb class we focused on herbal therapeutics for the respiratory system. We looked to our plant (and lichen!) allies growing abundantly in the #redwoodforest surrounding our school to create our Breath Of The Forest cough syrup formula:

▫️Redwood needles
▫️Western Hemlock needles
▫️Grand Fir needles
▫️ Usnea lichen
▫️ Huckleberries
▫️Salal berries

It’s sooooo tasty and wonderful medicine for lingering coughs!

🌲We’re really feeling the tree medicine as we transition to fully fledged fall.

I love examples of nature-inspired inventions… and there are so many to be grateful for! Seriously, have you thanked #burdock for its brilliant seed dispersal hooks each time you Velcro your rain jacket’s zipper flap tightly closed against wet and windy weather?!?

Yes, there is even a reason to be grateful for yellow jackets (the aerial nest building ones anyway) even though they can be such jerks when they turn into #meatbees. These are the critters that taught people how to make long-lasting, durable paper from trees!

Thank you, paper wasps of all sorts!

This approach to innovation by mimicking nature is called #biomimeticdesign. There are so many great examples out there inspired by the plant world, even Lotus leaf water repellent!

(PLEASE NOTE: I'm simplifying the loooong story here. People all over the world have used all sorts of plants for making paper for 1000’s of years (including the use of wood in China beginning in the 1st/2nd centuries CE)——-but Europeans cracking the mystery of how to turn WOOD into strong, long-lived paper took insight gained from observing wasps. Cool, right?!?)

Q: What does Intuition feel like in YOUR body? When you get an intuitive hit, can you recognize it?

Do you get a hot flush in your cheeks?

Goosebumps on your arms?

A certain taste in your mouth? A buzz in your ear?

An electric zing through your belly?

Let us know in the comments!

The feeling of an intuitive hit is unique to each person – It’s your Intuitive Signature.

👀 Recognizing yours is the first step, Trusting this important signal so you can act from it automatically--without second guessing yourself--is the second.

⭐️ We’re teaching a 3-part online class (for just $49!) specifically for Herbalists and Healers (though open to all) to teach exactly these skills. It begins Thursday 9/15 and is all recorded in case you can’t join us live.

You can save your seat over at dandelionherb.com. Hope to see you in our class community!

10 reasons why we're still basking in the ✨glow✨ of this weekend's Herb Class:

1. Look who stopped in for a visit: Jane and her best bud Rosemary @rosemarygladstar !! Their friendship is beautiful and deeply inspiring!

2. Yep, our faces hurt from all that smiling.

3. In the Ten Month Herbal Studies Program we use Rosemary's Science and Art of Herbalism course materials as our "textbook." She shared the story with our class of how this classic course came to be.

4. We honored soon-to-be mama Brie @_r3b3l.s0ul_ with a beautiful blessingway ceremony. Perhaps we will meet baby Oliver at next month's class!

5. Jessica delighted our olfactory senses with a vibrant lesson on Aromatherapy...

6. ...and she got us all excited about crafting hydrosols in her beautiful copper still!

7. In Allison's Herbs For Kids session we harvested Oregon Grape root to make a...

8. ...kid-friendly herbal antibiotic extract with fresh Lemon Balm, Elderberries, Orange Peel, and Licorice root.

9. We infused fresh Elecampane root and ginger into honey to prep for the upcoming Fall/Winter cold season.

10. AND we transformed these beautiful flowers into herbal tea / lemonade popsicles. Oh! We also enjoyed Astragalus Cardamom FroYo, but were too busy eating it to take any pics🍦😋

Phew! We're learning so much, enjoying each other, and the abundant healing plants. #givethanks
