Comment on Terms of the Trade: Excess and Deficiency by Gwen McClellan

I always deeply appreciate this website, and all that is shared. I used health dowsing regularly with clients. Practice Integrative Acupressure (similar to mix of chiro, acupuncture, etc) and herbal therapeutics. Have clients dowse for herbal considerations, foods, etc. all day long…anyone off the street can. Teach practitioners how to do this w clients. Our knowledge and experience w herbs, etc. informs the depth and breadth of the dowsing. The accuracy and effectiveness of my herbal practice has increase significantly, esp dealing quickly w microbial challenges, which in last year have exploded…little microbial imbalances in digestion, resp, joints, head, etc. At any rate, I think it buffers me a bit, liability wise, and allows me to provide wonderful herbal support, and then pop people on the table for hands on. Take Care.

Love to you,

Probably not, Ivy. As I said, I’ve never seen it referenced or talked about as a medicinal plant by anyone besides myself. And it is endemic to this area. You might try working with other Salvias local to your area though.

Thanks for this very informative materia medica on Sawtooth Sage. I don’t think I’ve seen it before or may not have noticed it. I’ll be adding this to my list!
I love your writing!

Do you know where it’s possible to get Sawtooth Sage, if you aren’t in the area where it grows? This actually sounds like it might be ideal for me, but seems relatively unknown.

I don’t actually know, Sam. I’ve always not used it in breastfeeding women because of the normal Salvia cautions, but I’ve not seen any constituent lists nor do I have any direct experience that implies that it would (or would not) dry up breast milk.

Would this variety of sage also be contraindicated in breastfeeding women?

Another precious one to add to my list when I come out in September…so much to see and do and so little time. I know that weekend is going to just fly!
I LOVE the way you write.

Comment on Rose Vinegar: My Favorite Sunburn Soother by Kiva Rose

Mica, that is vinegar at room temperature out of sunlight, in a pantry or cabinet would work well. It’ll keep at least a year, probably two, but much depends on your climate and environment.

Comment on Because It’s Good For You: On Authority, Certification & Law – by Jesse Wolf Hardin by Heather

(lol) When I was in the seventh grade, I was suspended from school for wearing pants. The next semester, the dress code was changed to allow girls to wear pants. I’ve sort of been ’shaking’ things up ever since. Sometimes I’m successful, and alas, sometimes I’m not. Despite this, I never forget to give respect when it is due. One cannot create value in one’s life, without honoring those who have come before us and helped us to get where we are.
