The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook James Green (See book keywords and concepts) The mellow autumn return of the plant's sap to the roots doesn't seem to bleed out of a wound so copiously as it does during the spring when the sap bursts forth from its winter hibernation and rises fervently to feed new leaves and flowers. Ask the tree. Barks of shrubs are best harvested in the spring. At this time, the bark can be more easily separated from the wood. Of course, never ring a plant by stripping the bark completely around its girth. This will kill it. Incisions should be limited to one-quarter or less of the limb's circumference. Each time you locate a medicinal plant near your home (a Dandelion here, a Plantain there, a California Poppy, a cutting or two of your neighbor's neglected Rosemary bush, a Mullein leaf, some fresh garden Thyme, autumn leaves from the Ginkgo tree that stands down the road, and so on), you can readily harvest and dry it, and place it in a storage jar for future use. In a short time you can accumulate a year's supply of medicines and spices derived from neighborhood flora. You can do the same, of course, with any garden plants and fruits that come your way. Dandelion, Chickweed, Plantain, Calendula blossoms, Red Clover blossoms, Cornsilk, and so forth can be accumulated relatively effortlessly this way, and by autumn you will have acquired a substantial, high-quality herbal pharmacy in your home. Inevitably, within a couple of solar cycles, buying herbs from a store will have become merely a vaguely disturbing memory. BLENDER/JUICER Get the originalVita-Mix® 3600 Plus stainless steel model which has a 72-ounce stainless steel container (some containers come with a spigot, some don't; they both work). There are two basic methods for preparing the Mother Essence: the sun method, used for flowers that bloom during the late spring, summer, and early autumn when the sun is often overhead, full and hot, and the boiling method, used for the flowers and twigs of plants that bloom at times other than when the sun is at the most intense phases of its solar cycle. Wildflowers growing in their natural habitat rather than cultivated flowers are preferable (with the exception of Cerato, Olive, andVine found in Dr. Bach's materia medica).

Rapid Healing Foods Ben Davis (See book keywords and concepts) He followed my instructions from autumn until spring when he came to see me again and said, 'For 20 years I have not had so good a winter. I have an immense business and I can manage it quite alone. Water is golden for people like me.'

By September, Janine and Gail were both back in school. Cured of giardiasis and walking two miles a day, Janine had no fatigue or dizziness and virtually no allergic problems.

The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved Sandor Ellix Katz (See book keywords and concepts) If you start your ferment at harvest time, in the autumn, as temperatures are dropping, it can ferment for six months or longer. This is how people survived before refrigeration and globalized food. Many people, however, prefer the flavor of a mild ferment to that of a strongly acidic one. When you are first experimenting, taste your ferments early and often. Serve some after three days, then three days later, and again three days after that. Familiarize yourself with the spectrum of flavors that fermentation can create and see what you like. In Nashville, Tennessee, a community gardening group called Earth Matters organizes an annual "Leaf-Lift," collecting homeowners' bagged fallen leaves in autumn and composting them, along with food scraps and other organic wastes, in massive sculptural forms. A few forward-looking cities, first in Europe in the 1990s, and now in the United States, have begun municipal programs for composting food scraps.

I was approximately 23 years old. I was treated with allergy shots and inhalers. The treatments just seemed to make things worse. My lips were always dry and cracked.

Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics Gary Zukav (See book keywords and concepts) In the autumn of 1927, physicists working with the new physics met in Brussels, Belgium, to ask themselves this question, among others. What they decided there became known as the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.* Other interpretations developed later, but the Copenhagen Interpretation marks the emergence of the new physics as a consistent way of viewing the world. It is still the most prevalent interpretation of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. The upheaval in physics following the discovery of the inadequacies of Newtonian physics was all but complete.

The Natural Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs Frantisek Stary (See book keywords and concepts) Spring and autumn 'cures' consisting of drinking this brew for a period of one or two months can be very effective. 2 Dandelion (1) is a familiar plant with an overwintering, long, spindle-like root. All parts of the plant contain a milky sap that oozes profusely when the plant is cut or bruised. The leaves, arranged in a dense ground rosette, are extremely variable in shape and deeply pinnately divided. Dandelion is considered a very troublesome weed difficult to eradicate in excessively rich soils. The one to three violet-purple flowers (2) appear above the surface and bloom in autumn. The stamens inside the mouth of the flowers have orange anthers. At the time of flowering the ovary with numerous ovules is at the base of the perianth tube below the surface of the soil. After fertilization the underground stem begins to grow and its base thickens to form a new corm (3), from which broad spear-shaped leaves up to thirty centimetres in length emerge in spring. Between the leaves is an inflated capsule with numerous, very hard, globe-shaped seeds: cross-section of the capsule (4). The roots contain a greater amount of mucilage and for that reason are preferred for pharmaceutical purposes and are best collected in autumn when they contain the greatest amount. The drug from the roots as well as from the leaves should be steeped several hours (best of all overnight) in tepid, preferably cooler water, two teaspoons to one cup water, taken two to four times daily. The leaves are administered as herbal tea mixtures, for treating coughs, in compresses and poultices to soften oedemas, and as a soothing gargle in stomatitis. Examples of such alkaloidal plants mentioned in this book are Greater Celandine, autumn Crocus, Jimsonweed and White Hellebore. The number of isolated alkaloids, however, already totals several thousand, though only several hundred are used in therapy. In recent years attention has been focused on alkaloids with anti-tumourous effects. These plants must never be self-administered. Glycosides Glycosides are complex organic substances that when hydrolysed (split by the action of water, acids or enzymes) separate into two parts ?a sugar (gly-cone) component and nonsugar (aglycone) component.
