Plant Profiles
Every month, we choose an ally as our plant of the month. Our herbal monographs are completely free and full of valuable information regarding many of the herbs we teach about in our course.
Pond Apple
One of the more common uses of pond apple is to make a syrup from the boiled fruit to treat cough from tuberculosis, as well as other lung and chest issues.
Prickly Pear Cactus
The usage of the many Opuntia species is great and varied, from food and medicine to dye and water purification. This genus of cactus has historical and modern usage beyond that of nopal tacos (which is one superb way to utilize this spiky plant’s tender pads).
Common Boneset
The Eupatorium genus comprises about 45 species in the eastern US and is known to be used by many indigenous peoples, especially E. perfoliatum.
Oats
Oats are both food and medicine. Most folks are familiar with eating a nourishing bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and know that oats are a heart healthy food and very soothing to the digestive tract.
Valerian
Indicated for nervous conditions like insomnia, anxiety, and muscle tension and commonly used as a sleep aid and mild pain reliever. It helps to promote normal sleep by its sedative action and is useful for those who have a hard time quieting the mind at bedtime.
Ginger
Ginger can be a tonic for the heart. In traditional Chinese, Indonesian and Ayurvedic medicine, ginger has been used to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions.
