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.

Myrrh Constituents Day 2

Hoffman only had one of the constituents below so I'll check Ganora for the rest tomorrow.  I need to get to work knocking down some of this to-do list.  Live and Light!

On to the constituents of myrrh!

Acidic polysaccharides (gum):

Ash: All Hoffman says on ash is the amount of ash that remains after a dried herbal sample is burned is called the ash value. While this is listed by some as a constituent, it is more likely to be foreign contamination in sticky substances. In the case of myrrh, the ash may even be the provider of the sulfate that is also listed as a constituent.  I'd be interested to see if there is sulfate in samples that have no ash and if it's possible to find samples that don't have any ash (Hoffman, 2003, p. 21).

Commiphoric Acid (Resin):

Furanosesquiterpenes (Volatile Oil):

Heerabolene (Sesquiterpene, in Volatile Oil): -

Myrrholic Acids (In volatile Oil):

Natural Sugars

Sulphates:

Have a Great Day!
