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.

I actually got all the assignments for Chemistry yesterday! Just to be clear, the class is more than just chemistry but I can't spell it much less pronounce it so Chemistry it is. LOL 3 days left in the school week and all I have other than finals and papers is pathophysiology - an essay, a discussion and a quiz. I'm right on schedule to get all of this done. Yes, it means I can breathe a little... LOL I got to sit down for a little while yesterday. I got my last thing for chemistry done before 6, dinner was done, house cleaned up. I quickly became a jungle gym as the children realized my lap was available for some cuddles. It was a good yet painful evening. I'm shocked I still have hair attached to me head but that is part of being a parent. Children are, indeed, torture from the moment they are ready to be born. LOL

On to California poppy! Since the remaining things were not in Hoffman, I looked in mt toxicology books.

Chelerythrine: Brinkler (2000) reports on page 67 and 171 this is a toxic constituent but this book doesn't break out what constituents are other than that.

Constituents: alkaloids californine, flavone glycosides, isoquinoline alkaloids (cryptopines, eschscholzidine, anguinarine and chelerythrine).

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. 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.
