Semester 3, Week 12, Day 1

Down in the final month of the semester.  I have all the posts for Herbs 504 done.  All I need to do is get that cayenne paper done and reply to the posts of my classmates.  I plan to have the assignments that are due this week done by tomorrow.  I want my cayenne paper done by the end of this school week.  The faster it's done, the sooner I can start cramming for the pathophysiology exam.  I HAVE to do it while my husband is home so the clock matters.  My son's doctor left me a little miffed yesterday.  She said he was borderline on talking and I need to work with him by repeating words to him and having him repeat them back.  My son laughs at me when I do that.  He knows the words.  He responds properly to them.  He is just choosing NOT to say them.  Of course, this is going to make schooling very interesting...  I looked at his growth chart and I see another storm brewing on the horizon.  For height and weight, he has always been at the top of the chart.  BMI is going to be an issue.  I will not allow his doctor to body shame him so we'll see what the future holds.  There is nothing wrong with having a large frame. I won't let him be bullied.  At least my son eats a healthy diet, not that fast food crap!  The rest of the day went really well, though.  The children are already arguing today so we'll see how today goes.  I was just brought a cup.  Apparently her brother dared to try to drink from her "fish" cup...  LOL 

 I looked in Ganora for the remaining constituents of Lavender but I didn't find any.  What I am going to do, starting this semester (2nd semester herbs) is add the herb that has the constituent to my notes.  This way when I do find them and O bring it back up here, I can state what herbs have that specific constituent without having to go back and look.  With that, I am going to move on to getting the school work done.  Have a great day!

Constituents: Volatile oil (Linalyl acetate, nerol, lavandulyl acetate, caryophyllene); coumarins (herniarin).
