Know your poisons.Poison oak is out in full force at lower elevations, and starting to fill out up in the mountains. Keep your eyes open.I tend to have a strong reaction to this plant if it gets me. There are treatments, but it’s another example of prevention being the best medicine.If you see it, take time to respect poison oak’s role in protecting beautiful places from excess human incursion.#KnowYourPoisons #PoisonOak #WalkingWithOrna #LandProtector #PlantGeek

Thinking about where medicine comes from right now

Thinking about where medicine comes from right now.When you look at health broadly, it becomes easy to see that so many of the things that feel good to us actually function as medicine in our lives.Medicine comes from:🌊Being out in nature.🌱Playing with plants.🥦Eating good food💧Drinking clean water.💃Playing! Whatever that looks like for you.🌬️Breathing clean air.👃🏼Stopping to smell the sea, the woods, the flowers, the desert.🕺Moving our bodies.🛌 Taking time to rest.🌏Learning new things.👯👯Connecting to community.🧭 Having a sense of purpose — and acting on it.💟 Loving. Period.Any of these. All of these. Plus whatever I am missing.Where are you getting your medicine today?#WhereMedicineComesFrom #WalkingWithOrna #VitaminSea #BeachView #HerbalistDoctor #AlaskaNaturopathicDoctor #OregonNaturopathicDoctor #WholeHealth #natmedweek2023 #HomerAlaska #AltaNaturalMedicine #CeliloNaturalHealthCenter

It’s hard to express how thrilled I was to final

It’s hard to express how thrilled I was to finally see this plant in person.You may know that I am a big fan of the Pedicularis genus, many of whose members are fabulous medicine for calming the mind and the body.I most commonly harvest Pedicularis racemosa, also called parrot’s beak or parrot’s beak lousewort, as it grows in places I love to go. (I made a video about it that you can find over on YouTube.)The one pictured here is Pedicularis densiflora, and it’s range only comes up to southern Oregon. It was such a treat to see it growing among the ponderosa pines!All the Pedicularis species have a kind of earthy, mushroomy flavor with a hint of something bitter that, if you imagine really hard, is kinda sorta reminiscent of chocolate. P. densiflora is the most so. None of them *actually* taste like chocolate. But if you tell folks to look for the flavor they often can — making this medicine just a little more fun.I use the medicinal Pedicularis species to calm racing thoughts, relax tight muscles, help with restless legs and support sleep.Pedicularis is difficult to find in commerce, so you mostly need to find a local herbalist who wildcrafts it.have you played with Pedicularis? Do you have a favorite species?
