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.

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).
