		<description><![CDATA[With all the cold-weather bugs flying around the northern hemisphere these days, it&#8217;s nice to take care of our overworked lymphatic systems. Since the circulating lymph doesn&#8217;t have its own pump like the blood does, we need to help it along by moving around and stretching our muscles (walking and dancing are great lymph-movers). You [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone seems to wonder why people are dying from the &#8220;swine flu&#8221; in Mexico, but not in other countries where the virus has been confirmed. (The one US death was a little boy visiting from Mexico with unidentified &#8220;underlying health issues.&#8221;) I have a theory. Or an idea. Or a question. It is common practice [...]]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[This month&#8217;s herbal blog party is &#8220;Winter Recipes,&#8221; hosted by Dreamseeds. Most of my winter herbal recipes involve long-simmering pots on the back of my woodstove. Tasty broths and teas that warm a person from the inside out, and make the house smell good too. Winter is a time for concentrated, warm foods. Put away [...]]]></description>

		<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>

I&#8217;m leaving for parts north tomorrow, and this morning it suddenly dawned on me that there might be frost before I get back. (It&#8217;s hard to remember [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a very good patient. That is, I&#8217;m not very patient. When someone else is sick, I make them a nest in front of the fire, bring them chicken soup and tea, and make sure they have everything they need so they don&#8217;t have to get up or do anything. When I&#8217;m sick, well, [...]]]></description>
