Hi, friends! We've been working hard this month getting back into the swing of things. We spent four days vending at various markets this month and March and April are slated to be busy as well. We also had the official grand opening of our farm store in Hotchkiss and it's been so amazing to connect with people in person when they come in to browse our teas and other herbal products!  We're getting ready to jump on our next project, which is getting the greenhouse built next month! We're also getting some seeds going indoors in the meantime, and then they'll move out to the greenhouse which we hope to have done by mid-April at the latest. This will let us get a HUGE jump on the growing season, as we can't really put many plants outside until the end of May.  And as we wait for spring to arrive, I'm having fun editing some of the great interviews I've had time to record these last couple months, including today's wonderful convo with Lisa Fazio. Lisa is an Irish/Italian American folklore witch, herbalist, and astrologer, as well as the mother of 4 children and Nonna to 2 grandchildren.  Her principal training is in Traditional Western Herbalism, Western Astrology, and the folk ways of her Italian immigrant family.

She has an academic background in Psychology and Ethnobotany as well as years of study and practice in the traditions of Trika Shaivism and Plant Spirit Medicine. She is also a tracker, a wilderness first responder and has spent 20 years working as a clinical and community herbalist.  I'm so honored to have gotten to chat with Lisa about her book, Della Medicina: The Tradition of Italian-American Folk Healing. We had such a wonderful conversation and one thing I really want to emphasize is that you don't need to be of Italian heritage to get a ton of value out of Lisa's work! So much of what she shares crosses different cultures and backgrounds and I hope this will inspire you to dive into your own ancestry as well. Grab your own copy of Della Medicina!

They presented the panel, which included Louise, Mica Carew, and would One, and would discuss oregano's physical, emotional, and energy benefits. Ariana then took over, outlining the importance of oregano to them individually as well as its connection with Capricorn energy. They urged everyone to take a moment to smell the oregano and describe their experiences. They ultimately recognized the importance of stewardship and the function of vegetation in the natural world. Oregano Oil: Uses, Cautions, and Insights Ariana started by underlining the risks of taking oregano oil, such as its ability to irritate the skin and create a burning sensation in sensitive places. Louise then delves into the chemistry of oregano oil, emphasizing its high carbocall and other phenol content, which provides anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic qualities. Louise also highlighted their findings from a meditation with oregano oil, emphasizing its powerful, circulating sun energy and its advantages for working with the shadow self and lighting dark regions. Because it is a powerful and stimulating oil, they advised taking it diluted and gradually. Oregano Essential Oil: Benefits and Uses The talk centered on the advantages and applications of oregano essential oil. Ariana emphasized its potential to foster determination, courage, self-confidence, and support during moments of indifference, motivation loss, and self-neglect. They also cited its effectiveness in times of emotional and mental exhaustion, as well as its capacity to increase attentiveness. Mica went on to describe the oil's characteristics as a powerful divine feminine energy that gives protection, independence, and dynamic vitality, assisting individuals in embodying their truth and decisions. Ariana concluded the debate by citing oregano's traditional Chinese medicine benefits, which include warming the lungs and encouraging meditation. Oregano's Significance in Chinese Medicine Ariana delivered a film about the significance of oregano in Chinese medicine, which is metaphorically depicted as 'Neo, Sir Neo'. They said that 'Neo' represents an ox or cow, and 'Sir' represents arrival or efficiency. They went on to say that the ox's capacity to plow the land and eliminate impediments made farming more effective in ancient times, and that this symbolism is tied to oregano's vitality. Ariana also stressed the importance of the wood element, which is related to the liver and spring energy, for balance and flexibility. Oregano in Chinese Medicine: Properties and Uses Ariana talked about the qualities and use of oregano in Chinese medicine. They emphasized its pungent, bitter, and warming properties, which contribute to its capacity to eliminate heat from the heart, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and bladder, as well as to dry up excess moisture and disperse stagnation. Ariana also emphasized its ability to combat wind and heat, as well as its value in treating respiratory ailments and boosting the immune system. They went on to talk about its antioxidant properties and its role in detoxifying animal proteins in cooking. Oregano Oil Uses and Benefits Discussed Ariana highlighted their personal experiences with oregano oil and its numerous applications, including its potential as a natural cure for seasonal threats and an immune support supplement. They advised a specific mix of oregano oil, fractionated coconut oil, and other essential oils for topical application on the chest and feet, highlighting its potential to calm sore regions and remove skin tags or warts. Ariana also said that oregano oil is now available in a roller container, which they found excellent for topical application owing to its softer effect on sensitive skin. Panel Introduction and Q&A Session Ariana presented the panel, which comprised Mika Carew, author of "Plant Spirit Medicine", Dr. Louise from Portland, Oregon, and Will, an acupuncturist from Colorado. They also gave information about themselves as an emotional coach, artist, and essential oil educator.

Lupo grew up in hardwood forests of the Northeast. Her paternal Grandmother was a wise woman, a Strega, from Italy. Her paternal Great Grandmother came from Knocknashee, the Druid Hill of the Fae, in Sligo, Ireland. Since childhood she has been studying plants, creating circles, hosting ceremonies, and holding ritual space for others. At 18 she was pulled to the heart of the Appalachian Mountains where she began her botanical studies. As a young mother, Lupo's greatest teachers have been her two (now grown) children. Her humble beginning of studying herbs and flower essences as a young mother in the 90's inspired her to learn and go on to teach others. Lupo is the Founder and Director of Twin Star School of Herbal and Energetic Studies. For over two decades she has had the privilege to teach thousands of students, in both Asheville NC, CT/NYC area as well as around the globe, the art of energetic and spiritual herbalism. Her recent trip to Sicily to visit her homeland, has greatly deepened her love and connection to her Sud Italian heritage and reclaiming her birthplace as an American Italian Strega. A true a teacher at heart, Lupo continues to deepened her relationship within her own lineage, as well as many others, by sitting at the feet of and learning from as many teachers as possible.You can find Lupo at: https://www.twinstartribe.com/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twinstartribe/On facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twinstartribeFor more info visit Sara's website at: https://www.multidimensionalnature.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/multidimensional.nature/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saraartemisia.ms/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@saraartemisiaLearn how to communicate with plant consciousness in the free workshop on How to Learn Plant Language: https://www.learnplantlanguage.com/
