The Medicine of Rose

4/4/2017

 
by Patrice Green

The miracle of herbs and plants is that when taken responsibly and respectfully they do not deaden the emotions.  As gentle, loving, supportive allies, plants help us work through the lessons we are here to learn.  In particular, roses do this beautifully.
Picture
Rose petals and their medicine help to move and open a heart which has tightened emotionally and spiritually.  In both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Unani (Greek-Arabic medicine) traditions, the heart is believed to be a physical organ and the seat of consciousness.  TCM uses the term shen, while Unani medicine talks about pneuma.   Both schools teach that rose has a powerful affect on the spiritual state of one’s heart.  Unani medicine has a category of heart herbs termed as “exhilarants”, which help the spiritual heart feel joy.  Rose is considered both a shen tonic in TCM and an exhilarant in Unani medicine.

A wonderful nervine, great for uplifting the mood and alleviating depression, rose also has antispasmodic, aphrodisiac and sedative qualities, as well as being anti-inflammatory.  Rose helps regulate menstruation as well as stimulate the digestion.  Rosehips, which come along after the bloom has faded, are a wonderful source of vitamins C, B2 and E.

One may use rose as an herbal supplement, essential oil or flower essence.  Rose petal tincture is often used in heart formulas. Dried rose petals make a lovely addition to teas.  One of my favorite ways to use rose is to make a glycerite of the fresh flowers of Rosa rugosa, the fragrant wild rose found near many beaches.  I have found it to be a powerful yet gentle remedy which truly gladdens the heart while easing sorrow and grief.  I’ve given rose glycerite to many people over the years who are experiencing depression or loss.  Every single person has reported back that rose glycerite helped them through the grief process, making it easier to bear.

For deep grief, I also recommend the homeopathic remedy Ignatia amara.  Ignatia amara comes from the seeds of a large tree found in the Philippines which was beloved of the Jesuits, an order founded by St. Ignatius, hence its name.  I find the combination of Ignatia amaraand Rose glycerite both powerful and soothing to the wounded spirit which is trying to heal.  Rose essential oil, made from Rosa damascena, helps alleviate depression and anxiety.

Rosa rugosa flower essence is love. It raises negative vibrations and helps purify the heart/shen. The alchemy between Rosa rugosa and the sea enables this flower essence to physically balance out negative ions, release grief & transmute negative vibrations into love/compassion. Rose petals are soft and can soften the heart. The thorns offer protection. This is truly a beautiful flower essence and plant.  To ease your heart, visit the Rose spirit. You can do this by meditating on the Rosa rugosaeither while taking its essence or holding it in your hand.  Trust in the rose spirit to help you release that which no longer serves your highest good.

This year I infused some local honey with rose petals.  It adds a wonderful touch to a cuppa and many recipes which call for honey.   Spend some time with Rosa rugosa, as an herb, essential oil, flower essence, and next summer with the plant itself.  Let her inspire you to work with her in whichever way seems most appropriate.  Experiment and open yourself to whatever lessons she has to teach you.  Feel free to share your experiences by sending me an email, patrice@greenaromatics.com.  I’d love to hear how Rose has revealed herself to you!

Black Cohosh

9/21/2016

 
by Melanie Brown

Perhaps when you think of Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa) you think to yourself, “Oh yeah, that herb for menopause.” That is understandable and to be expected, especially when a plant has shown to be fantastic at addressing a particular issue or holds an affinity for a specific organ and system in the body.

This however, is doing an injustice to the plant for a number of reasons. First, we are not respecting the plant as a whole for its many different constituents and actions. This has serious consequences as you can see with certain plants becoming a “fad” or a “one-plant-fits-all” approach, which can sometimes in result in it gaining quick popularity followed by over-harvesting.


Black Cohosh is a woodland perennial, native to the United States and found the Appalachian Mountain Range across the Eastern hardwood forest to the Ozark Plateau and north into the Great Lakes region. Surprisingly it is incredibly easy to grow if you have a nice spot at the edge of some woods with partial shade, grown by seed or live, dormant roots. Strictly Medicinal Seeds company (formerly Horizon Herbs) ships ready to plant roots for autumn planting to have them emerge the following spring.

We know for certain Black Cohosh has been traditionally used to support the female reproductive system throughout each stage of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.  It has an affinity for those who experience mood fluctuations, especially before and during menopause. A dark, brooding, melancholic and turned inward, negative self-talk sort of behavior is ideal for this person to be reaching for the non-standardized, fresh root tincture. Small doses (5-10 drops) are recommended. The dried root has been shown to cause headaches and large doses have been shown to cause vertigo, nausea, and nervous system distress. It is also used to reduce the inflammation and muscular pain of rheumatism and inflammatory arthritis, specifically for a dull, achy condition. It increases blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and relieves ringing in the ears.

Picture
If you look at the flowering stalks, while considering the Doctrine of Signatures, it closely resembles the spine. Many well-known, clinical herbalists now use it in treating pain associated with whiplash. ​

Herbalist 7Song keeps a tincture on hand for use in first aid as a musculoskeletal relaxant for acute situations. David Winston has a beautiful synergistic formula containing black cohosh, kava kava and ashwagandha. It also combines really nicely with St. John’s wort, lavender, rose, crampbark, wild yam and siberian ginseng depending on what you are needing it for. 
​

When I think about this graceful, strong plant I now keep a few important reminders close to my heart: It is not for every woman going through menopause. It can easily be cultivated on my own land to ensure permeability in its own native habitat. Fresh root is ideal when making medicine with it because certain active constituents are not available through the dried root. Standardized extracts and pills should be avoided because of unpleasant side effects.

I also love the essence of its flowers: it imparts the ability to confront and actively transform negative, destructive, or threatening circumstances. In this way it is possible to gain enormous power, learning to balance and harness innate strength and physical prowess.

4 Herbs to Beat the Summer Heat

8/15/2016

 
by Steph Zabel
Picture
Despite the plant abundance, beauty and delight that is apparent during summer, I must confess.... this is not my favorite season. Is that a surprise?

I tend to have a hard time with heat (and this year we've had a lot!) and constant glaring, bright, sunny days. It may sound counter-intuitive (especially for someone who is an herbalist!), but summer has always been the season I struggle the most with. I can't be the only one who feels this way, right?!...  

Perhaps it has something to do with growing up in extreme hot weather climates for so many years. I spent the majority of my life living in South Carolina AND in Texas, where most of the year is very bright, hot and sweaty.


For some people -- for some constitutions, that is -- the heat is simply too aggrevating. And I am no exception. This is why some people prefer cold foods over hot foods, or why some people wear tank tops in an air-conditioned room while others must wear a sweater. We are all so unique in our constitutions and what we crave, need or gravitate towards. This has always fascinated me.

But back to the heat: if you're like me and are having trouble with the current season there are plenty of things you can do to make yourself more comfortable until that first gentle whisper of autumn arrives.... Here are some of my favorite hot weather herbs and strategies:

1. Hibiscus
Hibiscus sabdariffa

Picture

Hibiscus is my go-to summer herb. As soon as the temperature starts to rise above 80 degrees, I break out my stash. There is no other herb that I have experienced that is so well-suited to the dog days of summer. Hibiscus is tremendously cooling, and helps to bring the body temperature down.

Also, perhaps due in part to its tart flavor, it's very thirst-quenching and helps to keep us hydrated while we are sweating away in the summer heat. The taste is refreshing and flavorful, a bit sour and energizing, and many people find that it is almost addictive.

In my home as soon as one batch of hibiscus tea has disappeared I’ll make another one right away so that there is always plenty to gulp down when needed. You can also freeze the tea into ice cubes (or popsicles!) for a really refreshing treat. 

​Read more about hibiscus here....

2. Rose
Rosa spp.

Picture
The queen of flowers, rose is an astringent, cooling and anti-inflammatory herb. You don't need to use a lot of rose because it can end up tasting bitter in teas. However, it is a lovely addition to summertime blends, and has a wonderful affinity for the heart, imparting an uplifting effect on the emotions.

​Rose adds its gentle cooling touch and helps to bring aggravation or frustration down a notch. One of my favorite ways to use rose is by spritzing rose water on my body. Get a good quality, organic rose water and place it in a spray bottle and you have an instant magic potion that I find is indispensable for hot, humid days.

​It feels so refreshing and makes everything seem just a little bit better.

3. Mint
Mentha spicata and ​Mentha x piperita 

Picture
Everyone knows mint -- it is one of our most ubiquitous herbs. And so sometimes we forget how powerful it can be. This little herb has traditionally been used for everything from digestive upset to headaches to muscle spasms.... And you guessed it -- it's also super cooling for the human body.

Mint is full of menthol which is an essential oil that gives the plant its active, cooling, anti-inflammatory properties. Just drinking iced mint tea is immensely refreshing.

However, there is a difference to note amongst the mints: we have peppermint, which is much more powerful and higher in menthol, and we also have spearmint, which is a bit more mellow. I tend to use spearmint more often because it blends nicely with other herbs, without overpowering the whole blend.

​See which one you like best.

4. Dandelion
Taraxacum officinale

Picture
In traditional herbalism dandelion leaf is called a "refrigerant" because it has such an amazing cooling effect on the body. In fact it is so cooling that it might be too much for some people, so don't use huge quantities of this herb. 

​It is also a little bit bitter tasting, so it is nice to add some of the other herbs above to even out the flavor. As an extra benefit, dandelion is one of our most important herbs for liver health, so you are also doing this most vital organ a favor by drinking your dandy leaves.

Hibiscus, Rose & Mint Sun Tea

This tea is wonderfully cooling, refreshing and hydrating on hot summer days. And you don't have to make your kitchen hotter than it already is by heating up water-- this recipe calls for a cold water infusion.

4 tablespoons dried hibiscus
2 tablespoons dried rose petals
1/2 - 1 tablespoon dried spearmint


Directions:
  • Add all herbs to a quart-sized glass jar and cover completely with cold water. Give it a stir and then cap tightly.
  • Place the jar in a sunny window and let it infuse for 3 to 6 hours until the desired flavor is reached.
  • Strain out the herbs and enjoy iced! (The remaining herbs can be steeped again, but will be weaker the second time around.)

Plant Allies for Indigestion

3/2/2016

 
by Melanie Brown

Indigestion is an uncomfortable and painful experience often associated with symptoms of heartburn, bloating, gas, and constipation. To top off this misery we often don’t understand the underlying cause, so in a desperate desire for relief many of us turn to over-the-counter antacids to put a stop to the symptoms. However, over-use and abuse of medications is not healing the underlying problem, but only masking it and creating further damage to our bodies. There is another path we can walk on with our green allies, that which nourishes, heals and protects. 
    
A major research study led by an epidemiologist of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health revealed that long term use of PPI’s (proton-pump inhibitors) significantly increases the chances of developing chronic kidney disease, dementia, bone fractures, infections, and heart problems. Antacids are not addressing what is truly going on inside of our stomachs. The majority of the time acid reflux occurs because our stomachs are deficient in hydrochloric acid (HCL).  A powerful digestive agent, HCL is incredibly important for maintaining proper assimilation of proteins into the essential amino acids and nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy. HCL also prevents disease by eliminating pathogenic bacteria and yeast.
Picture

So now that we have a better understanding of how important stomach acid is to our health it becomes apparent that antacids (PPI’s) are creating a vicious cycle that we are unable to break free of. They neutralize the already low acid in our stomachs, and when we try to come off of them the pain is unbearable and further damage is caused to the esophagus from food remaining undigested, sustaining a dependency on these medications that are now proven unsafe. 

After becoming educated to what was going on I became concerned for family members who I knew were going through this exact issue -- one being on antacids for over a year and the other experiencing painful heartburn almost daily. So I threw on my green cape (insert super herb healing hero here), gathered my most trusted nourishing plants, and flew on over to my open minded family members. On top of healing with plants we must often look at our diets and lifestyle patterns as well. Indigestion and everything that accompanies it is often manifested by processed foods, refined sugar, over consumption of alcohol and coffee, and unhealthy stress. It is also not wise to run over to your medicine cabinet and throw out your medications cold turkey. Over time, with some small yet important changes, you will find yourself no longer turning to drugs for relief. I have witnessed and experienced the following three herbs providing profound healing on the entire digestive system.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officnale): If I were to guess, most people know about this sweet, generous, yellow-sunshine faced flower. On top of being a supreme liver tonic, dandelion replenishes healthy levels and maintains production of HCL and bile. All parts of dandelion may be harvested and used at any time of the year, with the root being the best choice for medicine here. I highly recommend making your own tincture or vinegar, for there is nothing more satisfying and joyful than making and taking your own lovingly gathered plant medicine. 10-20 drops of tincture before each meal is an excellent regimen. 

Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) and Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis): Both of these plants contain mucilage. These complex carbohydrates have a lubricating quality so that in the body they produce an effect similar to mucus, coating and soothing raw, exposed, irritated, dried membranes. Taking both plants will address the damage done by acid reflux and medications. Slippery elm bark is incredibly nourishing, especially for the digestive system. I like to make a cold water infusion by weighing out a half ounce of cut and sifted herb in a quart sized mason jar, letting it steep for 2-4 hours, then straining it and sipping it throughout the day. I also learned from herbalist Susun Weed that rolling powdered slippery elm together with honey to form into small bite-sized balls can be taken as often as needed. Slippery elm has never failed me in instantly relieving heart burn. Marshmallow is cooling, moistening and sweet and all parts may be used, but the root contains the highest amount of mucilage with the cold water method of infusing working best in this application as well. 

Incorporating all three of these plants into your life -- while also making necessary lifestyle changes -- will bring great and lasting positive results. Break the cycle and heal with whole plants and whole foods for whole health.

Elder: The Plant That Keeps on Giving

11/23/2015

 
by Melanie Brown

A wealth of folklore, magic, and superstition is attached to this shrub-like tree, often described as a “complete medicine chest,” because of its extensive healing abilities on a wide variety of ailments.  The most used species is Sambucus nigra, which grows throughout North America, Europe and many other parts of the world.  Its history of medicinal use includes the entire plant in different preparations and dosages, such as the fresh leaf tincture as a reliable nervine. Today most commonly used are the fragrant white flowers that bloom in the spring and the ripe purple-black berries in the fall. The entire plant has shown to possess both anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties while also being a moderate immune system stimulant.

Saint John's Wort

7/13/2015

 
Picture
by Patrice Green

As I write this, it's the day after the Summer Solstice, and a few days before Saint John's Eve/Day.  We are in the midst of midsummer herbal magic!  One of the most prolific plants at this time of year is the mysterious Saint John's Wort, Hypericum perforatum.  I say mysterious because Saint John's Wort will suddenly appear in an area, stay for one or a few seasons, then will disappear only to re-appear in another location where it is most needed.  

This plant has a rich history of being used medicinally from Ancient Greece to the Crusades.  Used to treat a variety of ailments including pain and bruises as well as mood swings, bed-wetting, and emotional issues, Saint Joh's Wort's Latin name is derived from the tiny perforations naturally occurring in the leaves (perforatum).  The other half of its name symbolizes the sun, hypericum - named for Hyperion, the Greek Titan who fathered the Sun, Moon and Dawn.   A sprig of Saint John's Wort over the door was traditionally thought to protect against evil spirits. Traditionally this plant was harvested on the morning of the Summer Solstice or the morning of Saint John's Day (June 24th), when the plant and its flowers were at their peak.  It is always best to harvest this plant after a series of hot days for increased potency.

Pink Lady's Slipper

6/2/2015

 
by Patrice Green

One of the most beautiful spring flowers is the endangered Pink Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium acaule, also known as Mocassin Flower.  If you come upon one (or several) as you amble through the woods this time of year, count yourself blessed!  

These beautiful flowers are in the orchid family.  One of the reasons they are so rare is that they are slow growing and need very specific fungi to help the seedlings survive, specifically one from the Rhizoctonia genus. Most seeds have internal food supplies; but not so for the Pink Lady's Slipper.  These orchid seeds require the assistance of the Rhizoctonia fungus to break open the seed.  The fungus attaches to the seed, and then passes on food and nutrients.  Once the plant reaches an age where it starts producing most of its own nutrients, the fungus then extracts nutrients from the orchid roots. A Pink Lady's Slipper plant can live twenty years or more.

Milky Oats Tincture: What’s the Secret?

5/20/2015

 
by Juliette Abigail Carr

It seems like folks have a hard time making a really good milky oats tincture.  When I teach advanced tincture making, we always discuss past “failures” or at least tinctures that didn’t turn out how students expected, since there is more space to learn from our mistakes than from easy successes.  Milky Oats is one that comes up often, so I’m going to explain the little tricks to growing it and making medicine.


Oat (Avena sativa) is beloved as a restoring, nutritive nervine tonic (medicine whose effects build slowly over time).  In women’s health we cherish oat for its properties as a mineral rejuvenator and protector against adrenal exhaustion -- goodbye postpartum depression!  Hello restful sleep, coping skills, and an end to feeling stretched too thin, exhausted, and sapped of vitality.  As an antidepressant nervine it has a grounding, moistening effect for folks who feel burnt out, dried up, and frazzled.  It is a nurturing rejuvenator to the nervous system and adrenal glands, kidney and liver function, and it restores the minerals your body needs for your heart, muscles, bones, and nerve transmission to work well. It bestows a feeling of general well-being to those of us lucky enough to bask in its welcoming green glow.  As is common, the tea is a gentler, more long-term builder known for its mineral-related actions, while the tincture is stronger and more known for antidepressant and nervine actions.

Chaga, Chaga. Ah, Fungi Honey.

4/20/2015

 
Picture
by Michael Blackmore

Yes, I must confess I love chaga. And chaga seems to like me. At least that’s the way I feel when I’m drinking a nice deep decoction of it – because it’s like healing black gold in a cup.

But sometimes the Chaga-Heads drive me nuts. You know them, the folks who talk all misty eyed about the wonders of chaga.

Chaga-Head: “Chaga is so amazing. I lost my head in an accident once but thanks to drinking Chaga tea regularly it grew right back!!!”

Me: “Um, how did you drink the tea if you had no head?”

Chaga-Head: “That’s how amazing Chaga is, dude!!!”

*sigh*

But seriously, I really don’t blame them.
