Our herbs this week are pine and plantain! A mighty tall tree and a humble herb of the packed earth.Pine trees come in many varieties. Around Boston we mainly find white pine (Pinus strobus) and red pine (Pinus resinosa), but many others are similar. Pine can help sustain energy and mood, so we consider it a stimulant – but not like coffee. Pine will help you stand steady, not make you jittery. We like to include a bit of twig along with the needles in our tea, as this gets a bit of resinous material in there as well. As Ryn can (and will, at any opportunity) tell you, pines are lovely to climb – if you can make it to the first branch, that is!Plantain – we're talking about Plantago species, not the banana thing! – is an herb who loves paths and the people who make them. Whether the introduced and very common Plantago major or P. lanceolata, or the native-to-North-America purple-stemmed P. rugelii, this is a flexible and versatile herb. In this episode we focus on its capacity to help a uniquely modern problem: the impacts on our bodies of pharmaceuticals, especially NSAIDs. At the gut lining and the liver, plantain helps resolve the damage these sometimes-necessary medications can cause. And this from a very safe plant, with no known drug interactions!Our Integumentary Health course features pine and plantain several times, along with an array of other herbs who help the skin: burdock and calendula, of course, but also turmeric and echinacea, among others. Whatever the problem is – whether we call it eczema, psoriasis, or just “that troublesome patch of skin”, herbs can help! Topical applications for common herbs play a big role in this work, and we also dig into the effective herbs you can take orally to see results on the skin. Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are graced by the presence of woodland spirit Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager. Fergus has been gathering and learning about wild plants, seaweeds, and fungi for over 40 years. His journey begun on Wimbledon Common, aged 3 years, collecting dandelions for the family's pet tortoise. Since those early days, and through much creative and experimental exploration he has continued his foraging practice, not only as a means to understand and to discover the practical relevance that foraging has in the modern developed world, but also in terms of what it means to be an environmentally conscious human in relation to the natural world. “Can foraging ever be considered a truly sustainable practice, and if so how?”, is a question that always orchestrates his foraging activity. So too does a pursuit of foraging's playful and creative possibilities. Truth be told, Fergus just loves being outside, admiring nature as part of nature, living in touch with her reassuring seasonal cycles, awake to her sensuality, her surprises, opportunities, and endless gifts, in pursuit of the good life.   TOPICS COVERED:   Trips with Mom to Wimbledon Common   Tortoise Teacher, I Spy Insects   Play, Creativity and Foraging    Brambles, Pine Pollen & Jelly Ears   Foraging “Nose to Tail”   Foraging as a Subversive Act   Life Stacking   Avoiding Neurosis & Being Saved by Others   Reciprocal Dialogue with the Natural World   Developing a Relationship with Local Open Space   Complicity in Industrial Systems   Amanita muscaria Workshops   Amanita muscaria as Food & Medicine   Foraged Books & Making Paper from Mushrooms    EPISODE RESOURCES:   Fergus the Forager Website: https://fergustheforager.co.uk/ Fergus IG: https://www.instagram.com/fergustheforager/ Pine pollen: https://nutrawiki.org/pine-pollen/ Auricularia auricula-judae (AKA Jelly Ear): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auricularia_auricula-judae Plantago major: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_major Pascal Baudar: https://www.urbanoutdoorskills.com/ Fergus Henderson (author): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Whole_Beast  Jason Hickel (author): https://www.jasonhickel.org/  Katy Bowman: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/  Fomitopsis betulina (AKA Birch Polypore): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomitopsis_betulina  David Arora article on Amanita muscaria: https://williamrubel.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/rubel_arora_muscaria_economic_botany3.pdf”  Merck Index: https://www.rsc.org/merck-index  Phallus impudicus (AKA Stinkhorn): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus  

In this episode, we hear from Señora Iris Brown of Loíza, Puerto Rico, who grew up learning to cook and use herbs from her grandmother and the strong women of her hometown. She came to New York in 1967 for economic reasons, and moved to Philadelphia in 1970 when she fell in love with the back yards here. She said “I saw the possibilities of planting flowers, hanging a hammock, and looking at the stars!!”  In the 1980s, she and her friend Tomasita Romero co-founded Grupo Motivos, a collective of Puerto Rican women that worked with West Kensington residents to establish the historic and award-winning Norris Square gardens on many blighted, vacant properties that had been used for selling drugs. Now part of Norris Square Neighborhood Project, these spaces are filled with life and beauty and Puerto Rican culture.

If you love practical herbalism, you're really going to enjoy this episode with Mel Mutterspaugh about the many, many gifts of plantain (Plantago spp.)! Mel shares so many simple and practical ways to work with this abundant and powerful herb that you'll undoubtedly walk away with some new recipes and methods to try for yourself. By the end of this episode, you'll know: ► Why Mel says, “When in doubt: plantain.” ► A fun way to introduce kids to plantain for little ouchies or bug bites ► How a plantain moment wowed an initially skeptical, “manly man” carpenter ► How Mel is working to fulfill her mission to help there be an herbalist in every home You'll also receive instant FREE access to Mel's fabulous tea blend, Wild Weedy Respiratory ReLeafy. Even herbalists who consider plantain one of their all-time favorite herbs to work with admit that plantain tea isn't the best-tasting brew. But Mel has created a blend that brings you plantain's medicinal benefits, while tasting good, too. This is one to know for cold and flu season! Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation:  “Plantain is so abundantly there. Most people are trying to kill it in their yards. If we can just raise that awareness of the power of this beautiful, beautiful medicine, then we can change the world.” If you aren't already familiar with her, Mel is a clinical herbalist, environmental educator, founder of the herbal products company, Mountain Mel's Essential Goods, podcast host at The Herbalist's Path, and most importantly, a mom to a fun and silly 9 year old daughter.

Denne episoden av Sankeren & Kokken omhandler den edle arten Groblad. Her går Jim-Andre og Jørgen gjennom håndtering, sanketidspunkt og bruksområder på både bladverk og stengel av Groblad. Når groblad er som best i bladform, vil den se ut som babyspinat med tydelige bladnerver og er på dette punktet en av vårens delikatesser. Når veksten blir eldre så kommer stengelen med frøstand fram, og her er det spennende, for denne smaker steinsopp! Jørgen forteller om sinne favorittmetoder for tilberedning og du får med deg masse annen nyttig lærdom. Det blir godt med etnobotanikk i denne episoden, da groblad har vært brukt som nettopp det, et blad for å gro, gjennom mye av verdenshistorien. Guttene diskuterer folketro og folkemedisin i et spennende format, hvor du får med deg absolutt alt du behøver å vite om denne arten som vi finner så utrolig mye av rundt omkring.

El Parque Nacional La Malinche es uno de los principales pulmones de Puebla y Tlaxcala. Tiene Bosque de Coníferas, Encino Pastizal, como especies micro endémicas resaltan Clavel (Arenaria bryoides), Víbora cascabel pigmea mexicana (Crotalus ravus), Víbora cascabel transvolcánica (Crotalus triseriatus), Crucífera (Draba nivicola) y Lantén (Plantago tolucensis). El caso es que desde que se decretó la cuarentena, derivada del COVID-19 en marzo pasado, pobladores e investigadores que frecuentan el bosque han observado un incremento en la actividad habitual de la tala. Y claro. Lo que mi fuente extraoficial sospecha es que el aumento se trata de la tala clandestina, no la controlada.

In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite topics and that is herbal medicine.  I talk about 4 herbs that I use on a daily basis to help me with my anxiety, but most people wouldn’t think of. I talk about an herb called plantain in this episode.  It is not the banana.  The Latin name for this herbs is Plantago major.  I also want to make a small correction about this herb.  I said it didn’t flower, but it does, I just meant differently.   Take a listen to this episode.

What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Join herbalist and nutritionist Diana Sproul as she presents plant spirit medicine as explained in Eliot Cowan's book of the same name. Plants, trees, rain, lightning and the Chinese elements (like water, metal, earth) are each represented by a consciousness. These may appear through meditation or dreaming in human, animal, insect or other form. Healing an imbalance or lack of a certain element in a person’s spiritual make-up and life can help a person become well and whole again without addressing the illness itself. The author says that is ordinary, and that all of us can learn to do what he does. Author Eliot Cowan does training at the Blue Deer Center in New York state. This lecture is Part 4 of 4 parts.
