Silphium, often called asafetida (or devil’s dung) makes a comeback?
Silphium, often called asafetida (or devil’s dung) was an important medicinal and culinary herb in ancient Rome. It was believed to have been harvested to extinction, due to its supposed aphrodisiac properties. What we now know as the spice, asafetida, is really more of a substitute. It seems to have been rediscovered in…

Do you have a favorite lemonade variation
Lemonade is a great summer time drink. I was making some yesterday and it got me curious about potential variations. Sometimes I add a little bit of lavender. I find lavender and lemon to be an amazing combination. Do you have a favorite variation?

Wool mites and rabbit health
My sweet sunshine has wool mites. Her angora wool went from spectacular to shabby. She is also nervous, but that might also have to do with her biting a rabbit Judge in the thumb (I cried more than the judge, although the ladies were saying this judge had it coming, being overly rough). My poor baby is in pain I think from…

I have been taking a butterbur (75mg)-feverfew (200mg) capsule sold by "Now" for…

Through a reference on an unrelated herbal subject presented by Rosalee de la Forêt, I found this two part write up on thyroid, possible causes of thyroid disorders & herbals that are beneficial.

I don't know everything, really, I don't...tell me the solution to your story
I had a mystery issue with my little Serama rooster. I thought maybe he had bugs...after a check, I saw none. Then with ongoing and strange behaviors that affected his head & balance, I thought ear mites. I treated...nope, not that either. I didn't think it was worms because he has always been strictly indoors & isolated…

Have you ever watched a primrose flower unfold.
We are in a heat period, thus I prefer earlier morning and late evening hours in the garden. Yesterday, while I was drinking my evening herbal tea, the primrose flowers started unfolding. First one petal and then the whole flower. And one after another. Fascinating. Not speaking of the pleasant scent. I collect some of…

Have lots of parsley?
If, like me, your garden is going crazy right now and you have like 2 lbs a day of parsley a day, try this: Sweat down some onion and garlic, push to the side of the pan, add equal parts butter or olive oil and all purpose flour (like a tablespoon or two each) and just cook it until the flour smells cooked.
