A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalist

This daily blog has been about the struggles of juggling motherhood with being a full-time student for the first eight months of its existence.  I still share some of my life now that I've graduated but I also share information each day on herbs that I've learned along this journey.   While my herbariums are listed for free membership, I provide four fields from them in my blog: Constituents (the active ingredients of the herbs), the therapeutic actions (Examples are expectorant and stimulant), indications (colds, skin rashes, emphysema, etc), and safety information. More information can be found in the herbariums but these are the most important educational fields.  I also share scientific studies to help educate people who think there are no studies showing herbs work.

Membership to this site is free.

The image above is the tincture I made of red clover.

I'm STILL working on lemon balm.  I have 3 more sources to put in there.  No, it's not really that long but I have been doing a lot of work around the house.  We can now use the tub in the master bath as it was used for storage prior to yesterday! 

Below are some constituents I researched and never posted so I am posting those now. Tomorrow WILL be a new herb even if I don't get through all these sources today.  Love and Light!

Isoflavones:  Fallon says some but not all isoflavones have anti-thyroid properties (Fallon, 2001, p. 502). (Black Cohosh, Red Clover)

Genistein (Isoflavones): phytoestrogenic. Fallon says this has anti-thyroid properties (Fallon, 2001, p. 502). (Red Clover)

Quercetin (Flavonoid) Fallon says this has anti-thyroid properties (Hoffman, 2003, p. 14; Fallon, 2001, p. 502). (Buchu, Cinnamon, European elder, Marshmallow, Passionflower)

Have a Great Day!
