		<description><![CDATA[This month&#8217;s herbal blog party theme is &#8220;Kitchen Spices.&#8221; Our host is Dancing in a Field of Tansy.

		<description><![CDATA[The boy was sick this past weekend, and I was reminded about the lovely soothing properties of flax seed tea (Linum usitatissimum). Flax is a classic demulcent. The seeds are rich in mucilage, like marshmallow or slippery elm. But flax isn&#8217;t so cooling as marshmallow or threatened in the wild like slippery elm. Flax seed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dandelion tinctures, from left to right: root, leaf, flower. So clearly dandelion is not dandelion is not dandelion. Dandelion Root Taste: earthy-sweet-bitter. Temperature: cool. Affinity: liver, gallbladder, digestion. Action: nourishing, tonic. Dandelion Leaf Taste: fresh-salty-bitter. Temperature: cold. Affinity: kidneys, bladder, blood. Action: stimulating, draining. Dandelion Flower Taste: bright-honey-sweet. Temperature: neutral or slightly cool. Affinity: heart, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like I said yesterday, dandelion&#8217;s old common name is &#8220;pissabed.&#8221; So we know it&#8217;s had a long and intimate relationship with the human urinary tract. But dandelion is so much more than a simple diuretic. Nicholas Culpeper was on the right track in his 1653 Herbal (1814 edition): It is of an opening and cleansing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week someone gave me a lovely ripe grapefruit from a backyard tree in Florida. Quite a gift when there&#8217;s 3 feet of snow on the ground. The peel was so aromatic I couldn&#8217;t bear to compost it, so I did what my great-grandmother used to do: I made candied grapefruit peel. And while I [...]]]></description>
