		<description><![CDATA[There was a nasty, hot, lung-drying bug going around these parts this spring. Turns out the perfect thing for it is one of your lawn&#8217;s best-kept secrets: blender juice. Specifically, blender juice made of cooling, soothing, mucilaginous plants. Plantains (Plantago spp.), chickweed (Stellaria media), violets (Viola spp.), and mallows (Malva spp.) are especially nice. (This [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s an odd little piece, mixing reporting on trendy beauty-parlor washing in New York with bits on the &#8220;shampoo free&#8221; movement in Australia.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been getting hair care questions in the comments to my facial scrub post, so I thought I would write a bit about how I take care of my own (long, unruly) hair. Careful brushing. Brushing gets a bad rap because it can cause breakage. But if you have a little patience, you can get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t like to buy skin care products. They tend to be either ridiculously expensive or full of sketchy industrial ingredients (yes, even the ones in health food stores). The thing is, it&#8217;s really easy to make very high quality skin care products from things that you already have kicking around your kitchen. Today I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember the flax seed tea? It doubles as hair gel. Really. A soothing, conditioning hair gel (not like drying, alcohol-based commercial gels). This is what the flappers used to set their pin curls in the twenties. Just make the tea,* strain out the seeds while it&#8217;s hot, and let it cool. Hair gel. You can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that Iâ€™m living on my home ground again, Iâ€™ve been feeling like writing about some real traditional Appalachian herbs. So for Julyâ€™s berry-themed blog party, I chose a classic of Appalachian herbalism: pokeberry (Phytolacca americana). A while back on the Herbwifery Forum, a few of us were reminiscing about growing up in West Virginia [...]]]></description>

As you might suspect, a few herbs were mentioned in just about every post (think plantain, chickweed, calendula). But there were surprises too. (Have you ever used anise hyssop for skin irritation? Lime zest? Prickly pear? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the temperature dropped a week or two ago, my skin has been painfully dry. I don&#8217;t generally like to use store-bought lotions and creams because almost all of them (even &#8220;natural&#8221; brands) have weird ingredients in them: drying alcohols, toxic preservatives, etc. And the ones that have good ingredients tend to be way too [...]]]></description>
