Any person or animal that does encounter Burdock in the wild, will know it by the insistent burrs that the plant will attach to them; its burrs are so strong, legend has it, they inspired the inventor of Velcro! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBurdock roots can grow quite long, up to 3 feet deep. They are commonly harvested for food in Asian countries, especially in Japan where they are known as gobo. Whether cooked fresh or dried, Burdock root is a nutrient powerhouse. It contains plenty of antioxidants including quercetin, which is relatively hard to come by, vitamins A,C \u0026amp; E, and is a great source of the prebiotic inulin. Burdock is also one of the few herbs that specifically supports the lymphatic system and the body’s natural ability to eliminate toxins - great for the immune system and healthy skin.

It is an evergreen shrub that usually grows to about 4 feet high, but up to 12 feet with abundant water. It has small, flat, waxy leaves on long stems, 5-petaled yellow flowers, and fruit encased in fuzzy white pods. The Chaparral plant has developed numerous unique survival tactics to master and essentially dominate the desert landscape. Chaparral has evolved to angle its stems as they grow, towards the morning sunshine in the Southeast. This way, all of its photosynthesis takes place when the desert air is still relatively cool and moist, and the plant doesn’t lose too much water, as it would in the scorching midday heat. Its fragrant, evergreen leaves are too bitter to be eaten by local wildlife, but waxy and broad in order to collect rare and valuable minerals in the form of dust from the air, eventually improving the soil in which the plant grows. These defenses and tactics have the effect of enriching the plant with a unique and valuable set of chemical compounds. The strong aroma of Chaparral leaves comes from a combination of volatile oils including terpenes, limonene and camphor among others. These volatile oils have long been used as potent antimicrobials and antifungals and are believed to be very beneficial, especially for the skin.

It has more than one common name alluding to its reputation as an anaphrodisiac - a libido suppressant for both men and women. It’s been referred to as Chasteberry for this reason for centuries, as far back as ancient Greece when it was recommended to the wives of soldiers to help them remain chaste and pure while their husbands were away at war. Later, it became known as “Monk’s Pepper” after monks in the middle ages, believed to have used it to help curb their more earthly desires. The scientific basis for this belief about Chasteberry is sorely lacking to say the least. These days, Chasteberry is more celebrated as a women’s herb - believed to support reproductive function from PMS to menopause*.

Its bright yellow, bell-shaped flowers have five petals with small indents on the top edge of each petal. The flowers are enclosed by a long, green, tube-shaped calyx and are found in clusters on each plant, all facing to one side, like a set of keys on a ring. 12th century healer Saint Hildegard of Bingen referred to Cowslip as “Heaven’s Key”. She believed that this plant with the bright yellow blossoms received its power from the sun, and could suppress melancholy in man, she wrote, “When the cowslip primrose is heated and placed on the chest, the forces of the sun radiate back and cheer the heart. ”Dried Cowslip flowers have a very mild, slightly citrusy flavor and make a lovely bedtime tea, gentle enough for all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon names: Cowslip Primrose, Herb Peter, Key Flower, Paigles, Fairy Cups, Heaven’s Key\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecautions: No known precautions.

It is named Dent de Leon in French for the lion’s tooth its basal leaves resemble, but this plant is also very “lionesque” in the way it dominates in every environment it inhabits. The Dandelion is a perennial in the Asteraceae family, originally native to Eurasia, but now thrives in every temperate region it’s found in from the British Isles to the US and beyond, popping up in backyards, roadsides and parking lots. Its ability to thrive like this is due in part to the fact that it spreads its tiny, abundant seeds on the wind, and also that it grows a deep and strong taproot that is very difficult to disrupt once it's taken hold. The Dandelion may be considered an annoyance in our contemporary lawn culture, but it has been held in high esteem for centuries as a medicinal herb, nutritious food, flavoring, textile dye, and even alcoholic beverage. Dandelion is perhaps best known and beloved in its herbal capacity as a bitter used for liver support. It makes a great bitter tea or tincture, either to be used before meals to stimulate digestion, or as the base of a bitters mix for cocktails. Dandelion Root has a rich, bitter flavor. It can be decocted and steeped as tea, or tinctured.

Its Latin name, Primula, means “little earliest one” - a possible reference to the fact that Cowslip blooms only from April through May - making it a beloved symbol of early Spring. Its bright yellow, bell-shaped flowers have five petals with small indents on the top edge of each petal. The flowers are enclosed by a long, green, tube-shaped calyx and are found in clusters on each plant, all facing to one side, like a set of keys on a ring. 12th century healer Saint Hildegard of Bingen referred to Cowslip as “Heaven’s Key”. She believed that this plant with the bright yellow blossoms received its power from the sun, and could suppress melancholy in man, she wrote, “When the cowslip primrose is heated and placed on the chest, the forces of the sun radiate back and cheer the heart. ”Dried Cowslip flowers have a very mild, slightly citrusy flavor and make a lovely bedtime tea, gentle enough for all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon names: Cowslip Primrose, Herb Peter, Key Flower, Paigles, Fairy Cups, Heaven’s Key\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecautions: No known precautions.

Echinacea grows to about 3-4 feet high and is easily recognized by its flower, purple petals surrounding a prominent cone-shaped seed head. Echinacea is well known to have been used by early indigenous people of North America for a vast range of medicinal purposes, often topically or to address colds and flu. In the 19th century, the American Eclectics picked up some of this knowledge and Echinacea became perhaps the most widely used in their medical practices well into the 20th century. There are many different species of Echinacea, and many differing viewpoints on how best to use it. Echinacea purpurea is the most extensively studied and commonly used in Europe, often as a support for the immune system.
