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.

The day has been long already but I did wake up before the children today and managed to read almost a page in my toxicology book before my daughter woke up.  My cat Odie was the alarm bell there because he meowed to her to get her to pet him.  He loves the kids but goes and hides once he's had all the love he can stand. He's my oldest cat.  The agenda today is to put clothes away and get some reading done.  My son has other plans.  He has eaten breakfast, had a snack and seems to want his lunch already.  I guess he had a rough night.  Once I get that reading done, I can get that essay written and maybe pass that quiz.  It would be nice!  That is really my most challenging class this semester.  I also view it the most important of the classes this semester. I think I've said that before but I'm sure I'll say it about a hundred more times before school ends.  Love and Light!

On to the constituents of fennel!

Anethole has spasmolytic properties and is hepatic regenerative in rats. Ganora adds this is carminative (Hoffman, 2003, p. 94; ganora, 2009, p. 65, 109).

Alpha-pinene: Hoffman says this is used in the manufacture of camphor, insecticides, perfume bases, and synthetic pine oil and that is can cause skin eruptions, delirium, ataxia, and kidney damage (Hoffman, 2003, p. 64).

Bergapten has been used to treat vitiligio and psoriasis and is phototoxic in lime peel extracts and essential oils (Hoffman, 2003, p. 95, 210; Ganora, 2009, p. 111, 119).

Constituents: Essential oil (estragole, and fenchone), fatty oil, albumin, sugar, alpha-pinene, beta-myrcene, beta-pinene, camphene, para-cymen, and safrole, volatile oil (methylchavicol), b-myrcene, a-phellandrene, sabinene, y-terpinene, and terpinolene (p. 396).

Have a Great Day!
