A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalism Student

Membership to this site is free. The ability to register yourself is an "upcoming feature". I have no date of when they expect it to be available. For now, just send me a message or comment on a post that you would like to be a member and I'll send you an invite. The feature does work on the more expensive packages but this is the only feature on those packages I'm using and probably plan to use. The next one up opens up the ability for an online store. I'm not selling anything unless I decide to sell books here once I start writing.

Summer Break Day 9

It has been a busy day! We got our breakfast, took the trash to the dump, went to Party City to see what Tinkerbell stuff they had, I need to go back and buy her the outfit when I can, and then I went to order her birthday cake. I will have to order more plates and napkins on Monday when my husband's check hits the bank. When we got back home, I fed the kids lunch then began working on the things stored in my. I have my daughters 18-month and 3T clothes vacuum sealed so my sister can get them some day for her daughter. I'm washing the last of the old clothes now so I can get the rest bagged and sealed. Tomorrow I'll get my son's old clothes done and find the sink... Who knows. I may be able to find the bathroom before school starts back up! I didn't get very good sleep last night so I didn't make my son take a nap when we got back home. We can go to bed early tonight! New herb tomorrow!

On to the constituents of dandelion!

Violaxanthin is yellow and common. This constituent inhibits the virus that activates Epstein-Barr and promotes an anti-tumor effect and is also an antioxidant. It accumulates in ovarian tissue. This and other xanthophylls have been found to reverse drug resistance in breast cancer and enhance chemotherapy drugs (Ganora, 2009, p. 25, 69, 149).

Constituents: Sesquiterpene lactones (taraxacoside), diterpenes (taraxacin), triterpenes (Taraxasterol, arnidiol, faradiol, B-amyrin), carotenoids (lutin), polysaccharides (mannans)

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 and will take one additional semester and then be done for a while. I'm looking for funding for that final semester so I may be done at the end of December if I can't find any. I plan to write books and continue here on my blog after I complete school. My children need more attention from their mommy but I can't wait on getting this education done. I will do what I must for now.
