      Raize de regaliz Licorice was super strong with the droughty conditions making them potent roots, super strong from last late winter spring. You are Turtle Island plants and healing peace pilgrim wellbeing journey. "For All" by Gary Snyder from "Turtle Island"

"Ah to be alive

on a mid-September morn
fording a stream
barefoot, pants rolled up,
holding boots, pack on,
sunshine, ice in the shallows,
northern rockies.

Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters
stones turn underfoot, small and hard as toes
cold nose dripping
singing inside
creek music, heart music,
smell of sun on gravel.
I pledge allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the soil
of Turtle Island,
and to the beings who thereon dwell
one ecosystem
in diversity
under the sun
With joyful interpenetration for all." - Gary Snyder 1974


Our native licorice is an excellent tea herb. A tea herb is an herb made exclusively with water.

You who are my herbal brothers and sisters you know who you are.  Likewise our Garrya fresca, Garrya wrightii nation.

As another cramp bark as we studied in our Appalachian herbal.

Again you can go root, to bark, to leaf. I advise to have 3 sources: root, stem bark, new growth leaf. For people adverse to alcohol extracted herbs, the garrya fresca root and root bark can be used to make herbal 'hot water'-teas. Have all 3 including tinctures on hand. Then we throw in a bit of, drum roll… Estafiate.
Garrya fresca

Estafiate is our viral remedy. So we hit all the usual suspects artemisinin viral component constituent.

The key point is the upper most leaf flower of estafiate. Don’t forget the yerba saúco remedio leaf mixed with berry combo tincture as an additional viral medio. So yinz got d’herb of d’month club for the puky, shitty, going into viral gunk. Also stick with ice cold showers. Silk tassel leaf tincture alone mixed with water up to a half ounce or so sipped in a cup of water is good for stage one.

No problem, never doubt the truth that is genius world teacher wild herb ways. This commune is here now for you.
