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.

This is the last day for this herb.  Reishi mushrooms will be tomorrow. 

Much to get done today.  I made some spiritual progress last night but I'm not ready to share it yet.  I will have a video soon but I have not looked into video editing software yet.  Love and Light!

On to the constituents of pau d'arco.

1,4 naphthoquinone

alpha-lapachone: is not very water-soluble (Mills and Bone, 2010, p. 529).

anthraquinones

beta-lapachol: is not very water-soluble (Mills and Bone, 2010, p. 529).

beta-lapachone: is not very water-soluble (Mills and Bone, 2010, p. 529).

dehydro-alpha-lapachone

deoxylapachol

Lapachol is not very water-soluble (Mills and Bone, 2010, p. 529).

Napthaquinones

Carnosol (Diterpene): Antioxidant and antimicrobial (Oliveira, Oliveira, Conceicao, and Leles, 2016).

Coumarin (Coumarins) is hepatoxic is rats and dogs but not humans.

Flavonoids: All polyphenolic plant pigments of a specific structure. There are over 4,000 of them. These are broken down into categories: Catechins, dihydrochalones, chalones, flavanones (dihydroflavones), flavones, isoflavones, anthocyanides, aurones, flavanols, and flavonols. This general property is immunomodulatory due to antioxidant/free-radical scavenging ability (Hoffman, 2006, p. 100-102, 152, 167, 170, 174).

Furanonaphthoquinones

Iridoids are monoterpenoid lactones that are often the basis for the bitter principle as they are the bitterest compounds meaning they stimulate the digestive system. Ganora calls these modified monoterpenoids (Hoffman, 2003, p. 66, 67; Ganora, 2009, p. 68, 134, 136).

naphthoquinone

naphthofurandiones

xyloidone

Have a Great Day!
