My husband and I take a liquid alfalfa based chlorophyll as regularly as our busy lives permit our memories to focus on our health and well being. This is becoming more important to us as our years advance more to the golden ages. Alfalfa contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals for the body's daily requirements except for three minute trace minerals. Taking the liquid suspension enables the body to assimilate more of the nutrients in this potent vitamin booster. Treat yourself to some alfalfa based liquid chlorophyll every day and see if you feel stronger with a sense of well being. It's available in most natural food and herb stores.

This is wonderful news! Our new domain website the Organic Garden Grove was established a couple weeks ago. Today, Cephas and I are in the process of prepping it for full launch. It will be a great complimentary site to this herbal site which is really a hobby for us. As you can see from the photos and videos, we love to go foraging for wild edibles and wild medicinal plants.

When springtime comes and all the flowers begin to bloom, my mind turns to seeking out those fresh, young shoots and flowers in the herbal kingdom.

Just yesterday, my husband Cephas and I ventured into one of our favorite places to enjoy nature and to admire the lovely herbal plants that grow there. We saw some of our favorites growing heartily even though the water level is low for lack of rainfall. The waterfall that usually runs in the spring was completely dried up. Yet several plants are thriving along the river and in the dry spring bed.

One of our all time favorites is yarrow. It is the number one survival herb in the top thirteen survival herbs that can be found growing in all 50 states. I captured a photo of yarrow that is still in the young state growing the leaf clusters that will form a wide base for the flowers that will shoot up among the clusters later in the season.

Isn’t this a lovely specimen of yarrow? It’s basal leaves are a lovely spring green color. To recognize the leaves remember they are fern like. Other plants resemble this one but you cannot mistake the smell. The distinct smell is often described in herbal journals as “cheese –like” and has a bitter taste.

Usually, a bitter taste denotes that the herbs use is a tonic for the liver and ailments or deficiencies that affect the liver. Do you remember the old fashioned tonics of bitters?

Yarrow is commonly used for fevers, infections and to stop bleeding. Historically, yarrow is listed in herbal journals as having cured fevers from malaria, yellow fever, smallpox and the bubonic plaque. Herbal histories of the middle ages tell of its wondrous healing properties.

According the The Little Herb Survival Guide, this plant is number one. Jethro Kloss wrote many recommendations in his book Back to Eden regarding the use of yarrow.

It is definitely a plant to get to know better. Ever since my husband and I have discovered yarrow we have used it for many illnesses and we rely on it heavily knowing that it does work to relieve fevers and infections.

We have even used it as a temporary mosquito repellent. Just pick some fresh leaves, bruise them between your fingers to release their juices, and rub them on your skin. It does work. I’m not one for putting chemicals on my skin so I will try any natural remedy at least once. As for yarrow, I would use it again for this purpose.

This video shows Raven going into the canyon. Our video camera is only equipped for short clips so it was difficult to tape with continuity during the entire rock and plant walk. We only touched on names of a few plants but we will be exploring them further in the coming months. You will get a chance to watch us wild craft and process these plants. We will also show you how we store them and we'll talk about the medicinal as well as edible uses of each plant that we introduce. I'll be picking and bundling sage for purification ceremonies so I'll be happy to share that process with you during our travels this summer.
