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.

Membership to this site is free.

Since I have already done those three actions for oregano, I started the constituents today. Both kids are up, I'll be cooking breakfast as soon as I'm done here.  I did get a few more paragraphs read in toxicology last night, not much progress, though.  This those tests being a one-shot deal, not being able to read the books is quite likely to bring my grade down.  Maybe I should try sitting on the kitchen counter to read...  The life of a mom!  Hubby is now training a new driver on how to drive truck and such. He's not keen on sharing his little bit of living space but he complains a bit about the bad drivers out there so it's good he's able to do something about that. My son, two days in a row, has put on my shoes and gone to to door, trying to reach the knob saying he's going to go find Daddy.  My daughter did something similar when she was his age.  This last time I had her watch him leave and she was waving and saying "bye Daddy, see you soon!" so she's getting more adjusted to this way of life.  I'm going to get off here.  I just remembered I have to wash dishes before I can cook breakfast...  Love and Light!

On to the constituents of Oregano!

Carvacrol is in many plants of the Lamiaceae family. It is a strong antiseptic and has anti-fungal and anthelmintic properties as well (Hoffman, 2003, p. 65; Ganora, 2009, p. 135).

Thymol is antiseptic and anti-fungal but may irritate gastric mucosa. Ganora adds this is a very effective anti-microbial. (Hoffman, 2003. p. 66; Ganora, 2009, p. 15, 56, 68, 135).

Constituents:   beta-bisabolene, caryophyllene

Have a Great Day!
