So nice to see common plants showcased! I am trying to increase my plant knowledge since I just healed myself of an infection without antibiotics and I have only nutrition, herbs and medicinal fungi to thank! Apologies for the sneaky research on the side, but I believe we know some of the same people in the West Coast. If you see Caylie in Gab, give a hug and try to get her on here! Also, how is self heal most commonly used? Topically, tincture, tea? heard the name, but oddly enough I am learning backwards from chinese and indian herbs and only getting around to well known north american natives and the like. Another great article @janamaclaughlin ! Checking your feed when you have connected with good folk is like getting to stop by for tea and learn something each day! Much nicer than combing through hundreds of crypto articles and half content. Cheers!

Hey there! Ha ha, yes, Caylie and I did our PDC together but I haven't seen her since. Hoping to go to Gabriola and drop her a line.
Self Heal is most commonly used topically or as a tea, and is best fresh but can be dried. I'm not sure about tincturing it, I think somewhere I read that it doesn't tincture well, but I'll have to look into that more.
I saw your post about finding the eco people on here and totally feel the same. I've only been on here a few days but am also trying to find "the others" and genuine, practical content. I think this platform has a lot of potential for that and permaculture/systems thinking stuff but it isn't quite realized yet. It'd be a lot easier if we could follow tags or groups... but it's all still in beta so I think that is to come!
Thanks again and I look forward to "stopping in for tea" with you some more!
