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.

I had thought I'd need to switch over to posting discussions as of tomorrow but I got black cohosh ready to go and will try to get a few more ready today and tomorrow.  I have not uploaded the new version yet and will get that done today. The kids are both up and I'm not happy I'm up but here I am.  I had to cut off my hair yesterday.  I got tired of the kids trying to rip it out.  I'm thinking about cutting my daughter's hair as well since she doesn't like me brushing her hair. I really don't want to cut either of their hair but at their age, it's probably best.  My son dropped his orange juice behind the couch this morning. Fortunately it was a sippy cup.  Poor kid was trying to move the couch so he could get to his drink!  I feel like I'm starting to return to being a bit negative but I'm so tired! When my husband was home, I tried to get extra sleep.  I know I can use vitamins and such to boost my energy but I just need good sleep.  I may have to use herbs and vitamins for now.  I know the stress of school has impact on this. Just a little over 3 months and I'll have my degree.  One thing I realized is I'll need to compile a list of scientific databases I'll have to pay to get access to since I won't have the free access with school.  I'm hoping to buy all the books I'll need while I'm getting the extra money from school but you never know what you're getting in these books until they get here.  Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, the rest of the historical books I ordered are here.  I'll have to go back and review which ones I've already talked about so I can explain the ones I have not mentioned yet.  I know I didn't explain the Ancient Egypt one yet.  I don't see me using that one much but I will need to read it to add it to any book entries that would apply.  All of them are listed in the references section, though. Love and Light!

On to the constituents of oregano!

Ganora doesn't have these but since these are in the oil, I looked through The Chemistry of Aromatherapy by Bowels. While one of the remaining constituents was in there, she stated the therapeutic effects were unknown.  This would explain the nice long list of constituents I have that I cannot break out to you guys yet.  I'm hoping, once I get into book writing, the scientific sources I find can illuminate this topic.

Constituents:   beta-bisabolene, caryophyllene

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.
