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.

The image above is from the lesson I attended.

On to the constituents of feverfew.

Articanin (Sesquiterpene Lactone): Hoffman calls this one of the 5 sesquiterpene lactones that makes feverfew such an effective headache remedy (Hoffman, 2003, p. 370).

Canin (Sesquiterpene Lactones): Hoffman calls this one of the 5 sesquiterpene lactones that makes feverfew such an effective headache remedy (Hoffman, 2003, p. 370).

Parthenolide (Sesquiterpene Lactone): Hoffman calls this one of the 5 sesquiterpene lactones that makes feverfew such an effective headache remedy. It is found in the leaf of feverfew and has cytotoxic, antitumor, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Ganora says this is anti-inflammatory and prevents migraines as well as having digestive bitter properties (Hoffman, 2003, p. 370). (Hoffman, 2003, p. 71, 370; Ganora, 2009, p. 31, 49, 68, 138). 

Pyrethrin (Ester): These are bitter. This gives the plant insecticidal properties (Hoffman, 2003, p. 62; Ganora, 2009, p. 134).

Secotanapartholide (Sesquiterpene Lactone): Hoffman calls this one of the 5 sesquiterpene lactones that makes feverfew such an effective headache remedy (Hoffman, 2003, p. 370).

Terpene (also called isoprenoids): These are secondary metabolites. They allow the plant to prosper in its environment.  There are more than 20,000 of them (Hoffman, 2003, p. 62-89, 152, 199; Ganora, 2009, p. 44, 45, 46, 68, 79, 85, 93, 116, 133, 134, 139, 140, 147, 154).

Have a Great Day!
