Seileach. Willow bark, and it is not folklore standing next to medicine — it is where the medicine came from. Salicin in the inner bark, converted by your gut into salicylic acid, which is aspirin's own chemistry with the factory left off A teaspoon or two of dried cut bark, just-boiled water, lid on, fifteen minutes. Wet fence post with a bitter finish that arrives late #Herbalism #Herbs #WillowBark #Apothecary #Foraging #Gàidhlig #Druid #Folklore #Gardening #BloomScrolling #Nature #Cooking 1/2

And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't. What do you reach for when the weather gets into your joints? #Herbalism #Herbs #WillowBark #Apothecary #Foraging #Gàidhlig #Druid #Folklore #Gardening #BloomScrolling #Nature #Cooking Today's full issue → https://thistleandmoss.com/p/there-is-a-blue-wave-coming-our-salvation-fuck-trump 2/2

Saxifrage. The little rock-breaker — lus nan cluas in some of the old tongues, its name straight from the Latin for stone-breaker, because it roots in the cracks of granite and holds. Tear the young leaves small into a bowl of warm broth. No boiling — that cooks the life right out of it. Cool water, torn leaves, a few minutes in the warm bowl. That bright green astringency is medicine for a throat the smoke and the crying roughed up. Something that lives in stone, teaching the throat to hold. That's the season on the plate. What do you reach for when your throat's had a week?

Chasteberry. One teaspoon dried, covered pot, fifteen minutes simmering, ten more off the heat. Peppery, faintly bitter, more broth than tea. The old remedy for hormonal weather — the cycle that arrives sideways, the perimenopausal months that feel like being renovated from the inside. #Herbalism #PlantMedicine #FolkMedicine #Chasteberry #Vitex #Apothecary #Herbs #Perimenopause #HormoneHealth #Druid #Pagan #EarthBased 1/2

It works on the pituitary's schedule, not yours. Three cycles before you judge it. And if you're on HRT of any kind, tell your prescriber first — chasteberry has opinions about prolactin.

Red clover — seamrag dhearg. Pick the blossoms in full sun after the dew burns off, when the heads are dry and springy and the bees have had their turn. Steep a heaping tablespoon in near-boiling water, covered, ten minutes. Covered matters — that's the whole medicine going up your ceiling otherwise. #Herbalism #RedClover #HerbalMedicine #Foraging #FolkMedicine #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Apothecary #Plants #Druid #Pagan #QueerWitch #WildCrafting #Botany

Motherwort. The lion's-tail. Luibh a' chridhe — the herb of the heart. A strong short steep of the dried leaf, or a small dropperful of tincture, for when the chest is doing that fluttering, over-revved thing grief and too much news will do to it. Bitter enough that you'll respect it. Generations of women reached for it. It asks nothing but a weedy sunny corner to grow wild in. What do you reach for when the week rattles your heart? https://twp.ai/4htaTU #Herbalism #Motherwort #HerbalMedicine #Druid #Pride #QueerNews #Nature #Foraging #Plants #Apothecary #Gaelic #Solidarity

Save your citrus peels and bruised berries in a jar. Cover with cider vinegar, cap it, and shake it hard once a day for five days. Strain, sweeten with a spoon of honey. A splash in cold seltzer is a soda that costs you garbage and time and nothing else. The shaking is the whole method — no heat, no waiting on the sun. What's the scrap you keep meaning to save instead of throwing out? https://twp.ai/4htAZs #Fermentation #FoodIsMedicine #ZeroWaste #DrinkingVinegar #Apothecary #Cooking #Photography #SlowFood #Herbalism #Frugal #Recipe #Nature

Cold sesame-cabbage crunch (8 things, feeds 4, under 10 min, no beans) → shred half a green cabbage and two carrots; whisk tahini, soy, a squeeze of lime, a little honey, some cold soaked noodles even and hot water to loosen; toss, top with whatever nuts or seeds are in the drawer. It costs pocket change and asks nothing of the oven. No one at your table goes hungry because the week tried to break you. https://twp.ai/4htDJ9 #FoodAsMedicine #QueerKitchen#CheapEats #SummerFood #Cooking #SelfCare #Apothecary #Herbs #Recipe #Food #TransKitchen

Linden flower — teile, the lime tree. A spoonful steeped covered ten minutes, drunk cool in the evening when the heat won't release the night. The old people kept it for exactly this: a tea that loosens the jaw you didn't know you were clenching. Tha do chorp a' cuimhneachadh — your body remembers.
