Plantain: Traveller’s Talisman, part 1 ....once Plantain: Traveller’s Talisman, part 1
....once I realized that the problem was my stomach, and there was likely a bleeding (maybe infected) ulcer, and that it wasn’t my liver or gallbladder, my intuition immediately brought me to Plantain. No, not the banana, but the lowly herb. Sometimes, when we think “I know”, it gets in the way of our intuition telling us what we really need.
It’s always amazing when you think you know a herb and have used it for years, but then realize a whole new side of her. This has happened to me many times. Just like people, when they join in to heal or change something, whole new sides of them emerge that we have never seen. When I called on many of my herbal healers for help with Lyme disease, I came to know Teasel, Bee Balm, Boneset, Dandelion, Burdock, Cleavers, Sarsaparilla and many others, in a new way because of the more acute situation. These plants and thousands of others have so many hidden gifts to offer us when we are in need and ready to receive them. These herbs are gifts from the Gods to both sustain our health, and heal us in an acute situation.
Plantain, Plantago major has followed in the wake of colonization as a healing balm. A balm to heal the wounds to the Earth inflicted by horse and cart, and heavy soled shoes. And, a balm for wounds to human and animal alike. The juice, tea or poultices of the green leaf has miraculous properties as an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Ribwort is one of Plantain’s common names, and a key to its traditional use. The ribs, which run the length of the leaves, signify how she pulls out toxins, stops bleeding and heals wounds. She pulls the pain and the toxins from the cut and sews it safely closed, free of infection. Thankfully, I’ve know plantain for many decades, and used her topically for every kind of bite to take both the pain and the itch away. As well as for boils, burns (sun and fire), rash (including diaper rash and shingles), mastitis and other infections. But, I had never worked with her myself for internal problems.

Remembering summer magic In the Angelica Patch.... Remembering summer magic In the Angelica Patch..... 

This plant has hollow stalks, and when we harvest them, we have a drink of pure angelica waters. Flowery and refreshing, she'll connect you with the divine. She grows tall, leaving a shady understory, which our kids (and many kids at heart) have enjoyed days on end wandering around in. 

Here Steven watches Andrew take the plunge. One of many possible wild adventures one could have here at The Sacred Gardener School. Our early bird ends February 1! 

Thanks to @galcaponephotography for capturing this moment in time.

The snow’s been slow coming this year. The feeli The snow’s been slow coming this year. The feeling that a big snow’s on it’s way has been creeping up on us, and then it came. Such beauty, and a sigh of relief with the building up of what will bring nourishment in the spring when it melts. #winter #snow
