A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalism Student

This daily blog is about the struggles of juggling motherhood with being a full-time student.  I also share information each day on herbs that I've learned along this journey.  The herbs I am currently discussing are all things I received in my lab kits for class, meaning I get to actually work with them and pass on first-hand knowledge. 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.

Membership to this site is free.

Semester 4, Week 10, Day 7: Alfalfa Constituents

The constituents of alfalfa are done so there will be a new herb tomorrow.

The kids are eating breakfast. The things that were due this week are done and I'm working on next week's assignments.  I'm shooting for Saturday to finish them all up.  Wish me luck!  I'll have to work on a new herbarium in that time frame as well since I will start the last one I have prepared tomorrow.  Alfalfa is far more nutrient them medicine but it's still great information. I'm going to keep this short and get my breakfast eaten so I can get to work.

I decided to add the documents for the constituents, side effects, nutrients, and indications to the side bar on this page.  It will make the Herbal List page easier to use and put this information right here and easier to find.  Let me know your thoughts! Love and Light!

On to the constituents of alfalfa!

Polyphyrins: These are needed for hemoglobin function. They bind iron and escort oxygen to the various tissues of the body. Too much can be a problem (Mayo Clinic). (Alfalfa)

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid): Helps synthesize coenzyme-A and metabolize carbs and fat.

Vitamin B7 (Biotin): This vitamin (formerly called Vitamin H) is a coenzyme (R) and is great for hair and skin (Alfalfa).

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.  I plan to write books and continue here on my blog after I complete school.

    Rather than using the Herbal Lists page for some things, let me try this and see what everyone thinks.
