Red Clover Conference is coming May 2024!

Red Clover Conference is coming May 2024!
📝 Be a Contributor!

We ended the fear at The Comfrey Conference.
We reduced the nonsense at The Hypericum Conference.
Now, let's see if we can talk sense at The Red Clover Conference.

Red Clover — and her sisters, including white clover, crimson clover, and sweet clover (Melilotus) — are cherished by herbalists all over the world but feared by modern doctors and deeply misunderstood as hormonal activators. Let's redeem this precious herb and reclaim it as one of the best choices for women with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Registration for the conference will begin next week.

If you would like to contribute, we invite you to join us: as an advertiser, or by submitting a recipe or "short" video.

Nettle Infusion

Have you had your Nettle Infusion today?

Regular use of stinging nettle (I drink 2-3 quarts a week) not only increases energy, it brings a shine and swing to the hair, strengthens fingernails, clears and firms skin, restores elasticity to blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, counters incontinence, improves digestion, reduces cancer risk, and strengthens the lungs.

To make a nettle infusion: Measure out one ounce of the dried herb. Boil a quart of water. Put the dried herb into a quart jar and fill to the top with the boiling water. Stir with a wooden spoon and add water until the jar is full to the top. Lid tightly and set aside to brew for at least four hours, or overnight, whichever is easier for you.

Winter Allies part 2

When we use herbs to maintain and regain health, we not only take a big step toward health independence but a small step toward peace on our planet. Instead of making war on weeds, I use them. Instead of making war on nature, I let Her guide me. Instead of making war on myself when I'm sick, I nourish myself toward greater health, greater peace.

​Anti-infective Herbs
Anti-infective herbs can help us prevent the flu - and assist us if we do get sick. Colds and the flu are caused by viruses, making them more difficult to treat than bacterial infections. Viruses are more vital than bacteria and harder to kill. There are many anti-bacterial herbs -- including yarrow, echinacea, elecampane, and poke -- but few that are anti-viral. Of these, my favorite is St. Joan's/John's wort. If any herb can prevent the flu, St.J's can.
It's a good idea to have both anti-viral and anti-bacterial herbs on hand. The distinction between them is not so important once you are sick. Both types of herbs will alert the immune system to the infection and help it gather the resources needed to counter it.

Did you know that the achy muscles and headachy feeling we get with the flu is not caused by the flu itself but results from the immune system gobbling up all available resources so it can clobber the flu virus?!
