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.

Spearmint Constituents

The image above comes from the images I got while studying this herb in school.  It comes from the class lesson.

Since we do Solstice instead of Christmas, the kids opened their presents when daddy got home last night.  My daughter got the car haulers she has been eye-balling for a year and my son proceeded to steal it once he discovered she had it.  She has not had a chance to play with it because it is not far from him.  She favors the easel I bought her anyway.  It has a chalk board on one side and dry erase/magnetic on the other.  Both side have a clip where she can hand a paper and draw with a crayon.  She also got a new magnetic doll (Ariel from Little Mermaid) and won't let the doll out of her sight.  She did finally play dress-up with it when she finished breakfast this morning. They have been playing all day and didn't want to take the time to eat lunch.  They will open the presents from Grandma on Christmas to give the newness of their current presents time to wear off.  They will love what she got them as well.  Love and Light!

On to the constituents of Spearmint!  There is only one that Petersen called out that I have not discussed previously (see the file attached in the margin for the rest).

Carvone has carminative and antiseptic actions used is liqueurs, soaps, perfumes and candy flavorings (Hoffman, 2003, p. 65).

Have a Great Day!
