		<description><![CDATA[
Now that I’m living on my home ground again, I’ve been feeling like writing about some real traditional Appalachian herbs. So for July’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 and [...]]]></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 quality, [...]]]></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, I get [...]]]></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 expensive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Difficulty sleeping comes in many forms.
Trouble Falling Asleep can be associated with tension, excess nervous energy (&#8221;heat&#8221;) or a depleted nervous system (&#8221;cold&#8221;). My favorite herbs for falling asleep are kava (Piper methysticum) for tension, hops (Humulus lupulus) for heat and valerian (Valeriana officinalis) for cold. (Detailed indications for these herbs.)
Trouble Staying Asleep is usually [...]]]></description>

Broth is fabulous food and amazing medicine. Real broth, that is. Real broth is made from bones. Real broth is simmered for hours or even days. Real broth is [...]]]></description>
