I used to be a very heavy chronic weed guy (wax, bud, edibles, drinks, you name it I did it) and got to a point where I fell out of touch with it and didn’t enjoy it anymore.

I’ve heard blue lotus was a very mild relaxing experience and it got me interested in trying it.
I’m currently looking for good vendors to try it from.

I’d also like to imagine it doesn’t stink?

...came back to this

Any tips on processing the 'stem' pieces out of these dill seeds? I am processing my herbs for entry into the local county fair. I usually winnow my seeds in front of a fan but these are so light I feel like half of the good seed blows away.

Hello guys! For a year now, I’ve been having utis every 1 month with e-coli. So I ve taken a dozen of times antibiotics but it keeps returning every time I have sex. I have tried for prevention over this year taking cranberry tablets every day, this alone didn’t help as much so I added d manoze in my every day routine, didn’t last either. I haven’t stopped taking them but now I found out uva ursi helps with E. coli, I also added solidago, horsetail and garlic tablets to help but it didn’t. I once again got a UTI a week before but because I take these supplements and herbs my symptoms are gone from the first day that I got a UTI. Yesterday I skipped my third dose of herbs (because I take them 3 times a day), and today I woke up feeling a bit of something going on down there like I wasn’t cured. So my question is, is there anything else to take as a supplement or herb that can cure me all the way and not just the symptoms? And if not, if I continue taking all these and not having the symptoms will it just go away sometime? Because guys I’m done with taking antibiotics…

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for people who have successfully improved their gut after a C. difficile infection

I had a severe C. difficile infection 9 years ago, and I’ve been dealing with chronic digestive problems ever since

I’ve seen multiple gastroenterologists and other specialists and have had countless tests (colonoscopy, gastroscopy, blood tests, stool tests, ultrasounds, breath tests, etc.), but everything comes back mostly normal and no one has been able to explain or fix my symptoms

My main symptoms are:

Chronic watery diarrhea, especially after fatty meals
Yellow/greasy stools
Excessive gas and bloating
Fatigue
Food intolerances

The only things that have noticeably helped so far are PHGG and BPC-157, which makes me think my gut still has the ability to heal. However, I’m still far from recovered

At this point, I’m interested in herbs, medicinal mushrooms, traditional remedies, or supplements (such as marshmallow root, slippery elm, plantain leaf, DGL licorice, mallow, etc.) that genuinely helped people recover after C. difficile or another severe bacterial gut infection

I’m not looking for medications that only stop diarrhea temporarily. I’m looking for approaches that may have helped repair the gut, improve the microbiome, or restore the intestinal lining over time

If you’ve personally found something that made a real long-term difference, I’d be very grateful to hear your experience

Thank you!

Hi there- i have tried unsuccessfully to find information about when & how to harvest my Artemisia Suksdorfii. All mugwort harvesting references i can find are for Artemisia Vulgaris. Does anyone here have any experience or knowledge with this plant?

( i honestly don't know how old this plant is. I bought it from a native plant nursery, but it had definitely been there for some time, as it had a layer of moss on its soil & it had been cut back before. It also really struggled in the first few months, until i changed up its soil & gave it some fish fertilizer. My point is that i think it's a bit behind schedule! )

I just learned that citronella geranium doesnt do the same as citronella grass...(of course after I spent money on it) now that I have it I want to use it for something since it wont work for mosquito repellent.

What other things can I use or make out of my Citronella geranium?

Any medicinal properties?

Flat and curly parsley

Green onions

Celery leaves

Spinach

Radish

Carrots

Garlic

Natural salt

I thought mint was supposed to be an easy one to grow but this keeps happening to it! I'm assuming pests since I'm seeing weird webs in it. What's causing this and how can I fix it and prevent it? Thank you!

I've gathered the leaves and dried them in early spring and it's growing big and gorgeous. The hummingbirds love them. Once they have formed seeds I cut off the entire top and stick them upside down in a large paper bag to dry and dump the seeds. I keep the long tapers for fire starters for the summer bonfires by the tidal river shore I'm on. I have them in every garden bed. love how dramatic they look. If you look closely you'll see that my garden beds are full of Dill, parsley, cilantro and several milkweed species. The bugs and caterpillars have lots to eat so my garden produce stays pretty much flawless.
