A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalism Student

Membership to this site is free. The ability to register yourself is an "upcoming feature". I have no date of when they expect it to be available. For now, just send me a message or comment on a post that you would like to be a member and I'll send you an invite. The feature does work on the more expensive packages but this is the only feature on those packages I'm using and probably plan to use. The next one up opens up the ability for an online store. I'm not selling anything unless I decide to sell books here once I start writing.

Everything due this week is done. Today I'm going to work on the things that are due for pathophysiology next week. I also need to to to the store and get some cat food which will make the children happy. LOL I haven't started breakfast yet. They got me up way too early this morning... I did get ginger and licorice updated yesterday and posted so they will follow the current herb. I have also decided I need to start adding more ginger and garlic to my diet. I need to add cayenne as well but I don't have a big enough fire hose to add that to my diet... I'm still debating just putting it in capsules and taking it that way. I'd get the benefits without the inferno in my mouth. I also can't add it to the overall meal because the kids can't even handle black pepper yet. They are okay with eating it but it causes fire for them upon exit. Obviously I don't want them on fire either. Okay, I need to get my day going.

On to California poppy!

I have already gone through all these actions in previous posts. I'll start on the constituents tomorrow.

Constituents: Petersen (2018) says the primary constituents of this herb are the alkaloids californine and protopine (p. 200). Hoffman (2003) says alkaloids, flavone glycosides (p. 547). Chevallier (2016, p. 207) says isoquinoline alkaloids (protopine, cryptopine, cheidonine).

Have a great day!

I am currently a student at American College of Healthcare Sciences earning my Masters of Science degree in Herbal Medicine. This blog is my journey of juggling mom-life with student life. My husband is a truck driver so I'm essentially a single mom all but 3 days a month. It's a challenge but we will get through this. I complete this degree on 18 December 2019 and will take one additional semester and then be done for a while. I'm looking for funding for that final semester so I may be done at the end of December if I can't find any. I plan to write books and continue here on my blog after I complete school. My children need more attention from their mommy but I can't wait on getting this education done. I will do what I must for now.
