Post Jhab Protocol

 post jhab stuff

Please note if yinz have any medical problems, whatsoever, go see your medical doctor! or your online degree, online university licensed  nurse practitioner. Better yet go online and get telemed advice! And wear a mask! Seek out real medical advice!

      PJBS post jahb blues syndrome de-gunk, some biospirits said gimme gimme more and found they got a lot less. here using the official scientific matrix evidenced based term de-gunk in its clinical definition. this is for biospirit tribe who present with the new dx, PJBS. This protocol uses herbal tinctures combined with vitamin C to bowel tolerance protocol, and daily cardio of at least 1-2 hours steady low threshold. Each element herbal, vitamin C protocol, cardio is essential, so it's not just chucking a bunch of pills. What is vitamin C to bowl tolerance? That's a very good question. Vitamin C to bowel tolerance means taking so much vitamin C, till you start shitting your pants, then cut back till your still shitting but not shitting your pants. 

     We talked earlier about making different kinds of Vitamin C ascorbates, the easiest method is to take the Vitamin C ascorbic acid crystals for 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon, equivalent 2-3 thousand milligrams Vit C, in a quart mason jar, place in 4oz water, then add roughly 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture, let it fizz and bubbles, then drink. This is a sodium ascorbate buffered to a more acceptable pH. 

     ...for PJBS this is the best evidence based tested formula found so far for some people who choosing jhab, now have a PJBS diagnosis from the dominant culture think tanks, especially those who contracted in community then said ala britney spears, gimme gimme more. or those needing to prostitute themselves for employment, travel or increased social credit score points.

      symptoms: slide effects: headache, body ache, muscular weakness, goofy blahs fog, cardio delivery epithelial tissue inflamation, blood clotting issue cardiovascular system, mitochondrial damage presenting as low energy decreased endurance, neural toxicity which can present as physical biospirit depression, loss of motivation interest in previous stuff.

     note tinctures 1-one medicine dropper full from a 1oz bottle  

= roughly 30 drops.

combine equal parts each 90-120 drops or 3-4 dropper full

Magic fix everything formula

1)hawthorn cratageus whole plant leaf flower berry 3-4 droppers

2)Silybum marianum blessed milk thistle 3-4 droppers

3)red root 3-4 droppers

4)turmeric ginger 3-4 droppers

5)hypericum perforatum 3-4 droppers 

6) Combine with vitamin C to bowel tolerance protocol, estimate 12,000mg to 15,000mg vitamin C ascorbic acid crystals. Use pure ascorbic acid without fillers or additives. 

7) beet juice at least once or more daily, pre cardio. Either juice your own beets. Or get a bag of organic beet powder. To make take 8oz water, 3-4 tablespoons beet powder, 1/2 teaspoon vitamin C ascorbic acid crystals and a pinch of Redmond's utah pink salt. I buy the coarse chunky ground salt in a 5lb bag at a feed store, with all the impurities, the good minerals still in it. The utah pioneers from Colorado city, Short crick, on the Arizona strip used Redmond's in their food and filtered down Thompsonian lobelia cayenne herbal tradition, thanks Merle, good stuff. Place in mason jar, shake and guzzle down. The nitric oxide in beet juice opens blood vessels and is a tonic to blood. You can take the beet juice 2 or 3 times a day. One of the few proven helps with cardio, oxygenation and stuff going on with the PJBS post jahb blues syndrome. 

    place tinctures in 8oz pure whole well or spring water then 

drink it all down.

Take 3 batches of this formula 3 times daily for 3 weeks, then cut back to a maintenance dose.

it's important to combine with mild cardio, at minimum 2 miles per day jogging or 15-20 miles bicycle per day, to flush and de-gunk and de-jahb. 

     Greetings to all who work for well being! May you be blessed by Hawthorn, as it has been a blessing to many folk. Within the shame shun reset erasure I wanted to advocate for hawthorn, lobelia, red root and specific exercises in relation to nourishing western biospirit in relation to clotte shot planned demonics, and regaining lost smell and taste.  #Crataegus douglasii -- black #hawthorn, a rose family bushy tree shrub growing intermountain west. Usually at the interface of creek, meadow forest, at old homesteads.

The bark is dark brown black on young branches, with the bark deeply furrowed peeling in strips on trunk. There are many hawthorns to meet.

    It's best as a long term remedy, vs acute, so for chronic conditions, like the ones most recent, blood clotte shots, heart and cirulation issues, essential HTN, s/p MI, angina. For this condition it is used with red root. Hawthorn may increase contracility, strength of contraction, yet lower HR. Red root is a midlevel astringent that acts to purify blood, potentiate liver, working on the final places of veins and arteries, and epithelial points of attachment. See how they work. Test it out. We've entered a time where no one can talk openly here, only face to face conversation, because of the wealth redistribution erasure within the algorithm of social credit score. 

      Hawthorn can mildly dilate coronary arteries and can increase blood flow. Similar in the mesenteric, helping to nourish the intestine and be used as part of leaky gut. Due to a high profile of flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins, it also has a beneficial nurturing effect on the central nervous system. Many of the plan-demonic issues are addressed by tree along with red root, in terms of clotte shot. Using hawthorn long term with red root can be benefical. 

It was planted by white western people, here and in Europes, as a hedge or boundary. Rose plants with their thorns encourage healthy boundaries between this and that, giving and taking, self and others. In addition birds are fond of the fruits and make their nests in thorny branches, hence protection, nest, shelter, safety, home. So hawthorn is a symbolic talisman of our place, of our plant and of our people. Hawthorn is a voice of preexisting condition, the wild, partly tame tawny grammar of healing. 2022 Crataegus Hawthorn was an excellent year locally for our wild, feral, left alone to do its own thing, fruiting rosacea family, along with rose hips. The haws are now evident and abundant. The aws ripen late autumn. This plant gathered now with the end leaf stem and thorns, dry it a bit and tincture, and later berries. The berry haw can have many different flavors from sweet apricot creamy, to more astringent, with many in betweens on your ramble.  So now i am praying singing songs of Our Lady, who is mother of our white race at springs and grottos, as in beginingless time. Her Holy Rosary is a wreath of rose flowers. She brings a gifted whole plant elixir. I call it feral because it is wild within the tawny grammar of usage. Knowing these plants combined with red root and others growing nearby, ripening at st michael, raphael our guardians, protectors late September early October. Be blessed and bless others as you can. 

     ...your experience with regaining smell post covid infection via nicotine gum. I understand initial reluctance to use nicotine gum, its association with tobacco addiction, and the specialized chewing technique. I want to add nicotine patches have also been used. 

I want to postulate a reason for the many anecdotal reports connected with plan demonics, clotte shots and other stuff, smokers and nicotine, briefly, nicotine's role in both the nicotinic receptor cholinergic system, as well as ACE2 receptor pathway in the body, and thus blocking the spike protein attachment sites within the body. The nicotine occupied receptor sites have a decreased potential for attachment. You may wish to start the experiment, follow it, see if it works, to restore taste and smell. I would caution though that the nicotine patch is a better option, in terms of the risk of nicotine addiction potential in comparison to nictine gum chewing. Some herbalists would reccomend a less addictive plant lobelia, which you would take as tincture along with cayenne pepper. A 19th century Thompsonian approach to restore taste and smell, taken along with hawthorn and lobelia. 

Thirdly, smell retraining. Get 4-5 pure essential oils in the little bottles, open the bottle. Orange, lavender, clove, peppermint, garlic, anise, etc - and do a blind smell test, with eyes closed, twice a day. Identify the smell without looking at the label. Then check your results. You can also do this with actual herbs, hops, lavender, a clove of garlic, roots, red wine, white wine, tequila, whiskey, brandy, beer, etc. You want to keep these sessions brief before olfactory fatigue sets in. Keep a smell diary. Can you identify the smell? What does it smell like to you? 

     Know as whites we are a tiny remnant and seize this time betweenness. With erasure, soon an envelope of darkness will obscure, as the sun tilts down. I pray for you and know we will meet God be willing, Deus Vult

BioSpirit movement

..." ...coming from the medi-police 1st reponder surveillance, every action monetary based mind set, persons often have an imbedded descriptor of their health concern which betrays their gestalt. it goes deep into substance vs process. as we're taught, most dis-ease has to do with a stuck condition, unreal-leased then cherished. If movement is the predominant answer, then process is key, rather than substance. Diagnosis keys into this falsity. If the person is locked into a dominant culture diagnosis, then exclusion as in social distancing and deplatforming becomes the unacknowledged fear within their perceived or actual peer group and a major factor in a block to healing and a block to movement within the stuck conditions, loss of status, income, access to social mediums, banned from air travel, within the new social credit score etc. 

https://youtu.be/rr3Dq4s0iFM

      and as a response to, "as a lymphatic remedy, red root helps clear the detritus from the blood stream"...let's be clear, we are not addressing passive persons on a rebreather in ICU. So the medi pharm police state model breakdown is not operational here. Above ground people must heroically advocate above ground state biospirit praxis. Meaning having a body means owning inhabiting the body physically. Meaning if the lymph blood system is invoked,  it must be viscerally liberated within its condition. The physical body first of all, is never a physical body, it is a specific biospirit logos requiring activity. Popping magic pharma pills or herbs and tinctures is at best a side gig. To get the lymph to move the body has to move, period, end of story. Red root and the herbs we know can be an adjunct with lymph, yet the lymph is a body action system with very minimal static pump outside of that body action system. 

     Likewise the laying of hands is part of this biospirit tradition. Part of what's going on. Part of what needs to happen. Replacing Rx pills with herbs is so not the answer here.

     What follows are the pure and perfect revelations of Wild Herb Ways sitting with plants, the remedio. Of course none of these teachings is in any way or form original. We must all do penance personally on our own to gain the vision, the sight, the ability to love others from a place of strength. To release and let go of things that no longer fit. Like food, you have to sit down and eat. You need to chew the food and swallow. It does little good to watch others eat. We take the earth, fruit, the blade, the kingdom of God as an organization of patterns, the seed sown in the earth, hidden thru winter to rise as greening in spring, as the saviour. You need to climb the tree and suffer yourself. You need to carry it. I stand with the green, in all directions, may all be well, blessings always.  For me in terms of the local remedios He lived two thousand years ago and so climbed the tree for his challenge and ours, was pierced by a spear, died as a seed, was planted in the ground and rises each spring by the greenful grace of all mother Mary, the cross as Chi Rho must be ethnically cleansed from the cross as stauros, the well-known instrument of capital punishment because our path has nothing to do with places thousands of miles away. I do not worship a god far away, whatever we need is here. If it's not here we can build it. The seasons are here, the rain and snow, sun and wind are here. Neither do I accept the grift merchants continually holding hostage the belief system of ancestors with continuous reference to the mideast as an exclusive holy land justifying cyclic generational war, and now mechanized war. You need to embrace the holy land here, the mountains, the people, the plants, the place, here and now around you, as a penitent. I within remedios teach the green tree of forest, Yggdrasil, the same as the Yule tree. So whenever the cross as a torture device is mentioned it must be disavowed once and for all as an occupied mythos. The tree of faith can only refer to the various placed trees, the tree of life, the christmas yule tree, Yggdrisal of Odin. The tree you carry yourself. Climb yourself as a penitent. The tree of faith can only refer to the various placed trees, the tree of life, the christmas yule tree, Yggdrisal of Odin. In this tradition we reference the voice of the Holy Rood and the signing as a blessing way to deliver us from evil. Our saviour himself describes the herbal path of awakening as a green flame power of sap flowing through living vines and branches that gather vitality from their roots nourished in the earth, from, wind, water, fire of sun. Those were his words, not mine, he said to work with vines, branches, trees, seeds, all of them remedios. To abide in the vine is to be linked to the earth mother Mary. From that connection to the green flame is everything. The kingdom of heaven is a living green seed faith of the perfect remedio, in a celestial arrangement of the united order. The vine is tethered to the earth local in place where it is nurtured and grows.The evil we face today is on many fronts, the forces of evil against our green faith. Evil seeks to own our souls and condemn our destiny to eternal hell by separating us from the green life. The Holy Rood refers to the rod or tree that is the living Holy Yule tree of green living wood upon which he suffered for our redemption. Odin, in the Poetic Edda, says that Yggdrasil “suffers agony / more than men know, a stag nibbles it above, but at its side it’s decaying, and Níðhöggr [a malicious serpent or dragon] rends it beneath”. It is to that sacred grove of earth and wood we must return to gather from the plant teachers our whole faith remedios. In the tradition of the Holy Rood, he carries the horizontal piece that is fastened to the living tree of calvary. And only to the degree that we can learn the remedios from those waving branches growing upon that tree in the sacred grove. “Then the young hero (who was Almighty)

Got ready, resolute and strong in heart.

...the warrior embraced [the tree]. (3)’ (Holy Rood)

       ...Herbs can be an adjunct to movement. Rather than listening and paying attention to word based discursive thinking hooks. It's necessary to see beyond personal statements. Movement has to be initiated, facilitated via knowing rather than belief. Of course whether selling snake oil medicine show herbs, real estate, upholstered chairs, elk antlers or meteorites there's a certain panache and rock star quality performance in the sale. There's also survival, so it's important to survive. However don't be owned by the adrenaline junkie sale. See it for what it is, stage theatre. Always remember the CO correction officer guards, and the inmates in orange, share the same prison, the same mindset. You can do some good, but you are not the good. That's beyond your pay grade. Movement."

Blood Flower Moon Eclipse

 Lunar Eclipse: 

Mary's child's birth was understood in signs in the sky. "for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." Matthew 2:2 The month of May we dedicate to Mary starting with her crowning on May 1st and perhaps culminating, to those open to her inter-intra-session, in an opportunity to connect prayer words-communication-Mercury with Love-family-Venus. 

So this same sky is visible and open today. 

May all be blessed and held safely in her mantle. 

Tonight in the earliest hours will be the 

Blood Flower Moon Full Lunar Eclipse: this is a time where it can be fruitful to reconnect with deepest heart intention, to communicate fully with loved ones via the venus mercury aspect, and reconnect with the divine feminine aspect of Mary. 

Lunar Eclipse: A time of adjustment, a good time to see the chiropractor for a spinal adjustment or the parish priest for confession, reconciliation with loved ones, renew our deepest family relations. Eclipse season begins Northwest Turtle Island western US, with a solar eclipse June 12th Total lunar eclipse May 26th, pacific daylight aging time, PDST  (based on seen stars, shining stars, visible sky sidereal zodiac) 2021 1:45AM- 5:18AM lunar eclipse, south node, dragon's tail, collective BioSpirit energy in sidereal scorpio (to the right of Antares) low in south west sky, maximum eclipse 4:11-4:25AM, moon sets at 5:08AM. 

    You maybe aware of this lunar eclipse energy 3 days before and 3 days after. The Virgin Mary's seed of Virgo, or families who trace to the Divine Virgin and all seed covenant believers. In Scorpio we see the struggle of 1Corinth 3:6 "I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase.", of Serpentarius. In Greek song story, Ophiuchus ⛎ was said to depict the god Apollo wrestling, contending with snake guardians at our Oracle's of Delphi. So Ophiuchus stomps on the Scorpian while wrestling a snake. The giant scorpian is tail raised prepared to strike, it's a critical situation, a pivotal moment for many. Ophiuchus with Laocoön, the Trojan priest of undersea water world Poseidon who warned his Trojans about the false gift of the Trojan horse and was later killed by a pair of sea serpents sent by fate to punish him. Mary the mother of God to whom we daily, hourly pray is Stella Maris, Star of the sea. Asclepius is the healer with the double serpent held cross, same as Teacher Moshe. Scorpio and the Serpent (Serpens)  “… you will strike his heel and he will crush your head” Genesis 3:15. Mary the mother of God, replacing the first Lilith Eva, becoming from Eva, Ave, the yes, the fiat, gave birth to Jesus, who was to be the healer. Both Ophiucus and the Serpent are battling for the crown, Corona Borealis, crown of salvation. John 12:31 "Now is the hour (horo) for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out." Horoscope comes from Greek ‘Horo’ (hour) for the exact hour and the writings above the clouds in the visible star sky. 

     Keep your eyes open, this is an excellent time to renew redicate, as we went to celebrate Pentecost this past Sunday, May 23rd, the energy was there already accentuated, felt strongly praying, "Confíteor Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper Vírgini, beáto Michaéli Archángelo", "I confess to almighty God, to the blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel", now is a good time to acknowledge mistakes made and work on correcting them, a time of adjustment especially with Mercury lying to Venus, it could be a good time to use our voice Mercury to communicate with the Venus love of our deepest intention, to realign our word thinking with deepest heart felt intention. To realign the spine with body or mat work, the yin kidney ch'i energy that brings supple flexibility to spine. This eclipse can be the beginning of bringing words in to reflect, offer prayer to our inner Virgin Mary, who at a certain point, verbalized yes, "“Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word.” Here I am the one who loves, who does, who feels deeply, may my words align with the that." To renew your personal vows and intention to spirit. A time of adjustment, a good time to see the chiropractor for a spinal adjustment or the parish priest for confession, reconciliation with loved ones, renew our deepest family relations.

Stinging Nettle, Urtica dioica

Urtica dioica -- stinging nettle, a non-binary ambiguous herb ally. 

Nettle family (Urticaceae), Urtica dioica, var gracilis, comes from the Latin word uro, which means “to burn,” because its leaves can cause a temporary burning sensation upon contact. Formerly it was thought the leaf hairs' formic acid was responsible for the sting which is the stinging burning you get from a red fire ant sting bite. I still call it formic acid because that's how i schooled it, it certainly feels like a fire ant bite. Yet the mix of chemicals in the trichomes is much more complex, containing stinging hairs or trichomes, whose tips come off when touched, transforming the hair into a needle that will inject several chemicals including acetylcholine, histamine, 5-HT (serotonin), moroidin, leukotrienes and possibly formic acid. So it's a lot more than a nutritional green. Stinging nettle produce a stinging sensation upon contact, which like anything is going to vary among different people. So be cautious with handling the plant as some people react strongly to it.  

     

https://youtu.be/OLt7yuQKrO0 

     The stinging aspect of stinging nettle is eliminated with cooking, drying, freezing. Always use gloves when handling the fresh plant. The herb has both Mars, yang blood and Venus yin sinew retreating nurturing qualities. Like many plants which appear at first glance to be quite simple but are in fact complete living distinct electro chemical ecosystems within themselves and fundamentally different than any created object. Since so much human two legged stuff in this present moment is factory made throw away eye candy, it can be hard to grasp that living breathing things that twolegs have interacted with for ten's of thousands of years are still here intact and fully present, close by and widely present. Nettle is one of those beings who was there and still is. 

      

The plant favors rich black dark, wet moist soils, often stream side, wet with  sun. Leaves are opposite coarsley serrate, toothed, triangular shape. It can grow up to 6 feet tall by Midsommer. There are narrow leafed shorter varieties so look for the larger leafed, deep green, crinkly, furrowed leaf varieties which are found in wet rich soils. Here found on Turtle Island in Pend Oreille.

     The entire plant, root, to stem, to seed is valuable, as an edible nutritional powerhouse. Full of vitamins A, C and some B vitamins. And while it's possible to document what's in a nettle in verbal terms, the plant has been with BioSpirit for so long it's relational, part of us. Fresh nettles contain (per 100g) 670 mg potassium, 590 mg calcium, 18 mcg chromium, 270 mcg copper, 86 mg magnesium, and 4.4 mg iron but that's just starting to cover it. 

     It falls into the food-slash-medicine plant category and was used as an edible green, fibre cordage plant, and rejuvenate spring tonic wherever encountered. As a food-slash-medicine plant it has a surprisingly complex chemistry. This is a give away, as how many nutritional greens, bite and bark ouch, when you bare handed touch them? So there's a lot going on here. Likewise herbally it is considered bivalent or ambivalent in that in the body it does different things, in different bodies, normally thought to be contradictory as male female, heating cooling, prostate and uterus. etc. Which can be explained astrologicaly in that it is linked to both Mars and Venus, Nettle is traditionally considered a plant ruled primarily by Mars, due to both its "hot stinging" kinda warlike oppositional conflict edge and its activity: sudden, violent, irritating, inflammatory, intense, purifying and acting on the formation of blood.  The secondary ruler of nettle is Venus, by virtue of both its action on the kidney chi sinews and adrenals and its ability to seduce the body into homeostasis, promote and stimulate lactation in women and treat rheumatism and gout. So it is a non-binary herb, both a male and female herb, somehow beyond gender. Nettle has an earthy green slightly sweet salty taste which is noted in the swampy wet varieties. The roots are more astringent bitter noted in the tincture rather than leaf.

Use only after cooking/freezing, which neutralizes the stinging constituents present on leaves and stem, because it would not be a nice ride in the mouth and throat. Gather the first smaller tender spring leaves if gathering for pesto. If gathering the leaves for infusion use the larger later summer leaves. A large handful of the fresh leaf in boiling water makes a mineral rich alkaline decoction which is flavorful, slightly sweet, distinctly anti inflammatory and mildly diuretic. It also helps to regulate blood sugar both facilitating transport of blood glucose into muscle and supports the pancreas to balance insulin sensitivity. It is useful as a spring tonic especially in northern climes to alkalinize, where digestive stagnation can occur after a winter of meat heavy acidic diet. Nettle tends to invigorate the whole body after winter inactivity. As an adjunct in urinary infection UTI stinging nettle, with pipsissiwa, uva ursi, or huckleberry leaf family plants, stinging nettle helps to alkalize urine and potentiate arbutin present in our UTI plants. Thoroughly dried leaf can be used in cold infusion overnight , 1/2 ounce or so of dried leaf in a quart of water, kept overnight and drunk the next day. The liquid decoction of fresh leaf, or of dried leaf cold infusion, and or tincture can assist with spring seasonal pollen issues, hay fever, stuffy nose. These constituents seem to be concentrating in the seed and root if making an antihistamine formula and combine well with ambrosia species. The constituents promote drainage and lessen inflammation. It works best when used daily. The decoction applied to hair and scalp with yerba del negrita, orange globe mallow helps to encourage hair growth when applied to the scalp and hair and as a hair rinse. 

       Like many now you see it now you don't herbs, the question is how to store nettles. Gather Midsommer plants, tie in bundles, hand upside down for drying. Another method is to gather leaf and freeze, the freezing dissipates the stinging effect but not the stinging constituents. I think that's important to understand, because i think at least some of the stinging has to do with disregulating the delivery system. Once frozen the leaves can be crumbled, stored in the freezer and added directly to soups, blender green smoothies, used for cold infusion etc, I think herbs-a-commerce amounts of nettle isn't enough to do much, as in a gelatin capsule. You need to get the nettle into your body, as in large amounts. 

        Stinging nettle root medicine. Of course it's never possible to have enough nettles. No matter how much you have, you'll use it up. Which leads to stinging nettle root medicine, which of course can be stored. It doesn't have obviously the green nutritional power of fresh but it is a medicinal in its own right. The root medicine can be used for all the above uses, regulate blood glucose, anti inflammatory, diuretic, seasonal allergies, bph in men, hormone regulation in women etc. specifically the root medicine is best for bph, and hormone regulation in women. 

      

The trailing, close to surface root is easily gathered in spring, find a moist wet stand, and these roots tend to be both trailing and tap root. The early spring or late fall is best for root medicine, especially the rhizome close to the surface trailing root. You can often gather the trailing roots in early spring by hand without any digging.  Often times there will be both tap roots and side trailing roots. The root medicine is best used to help support bph issues in men, enlarged prostate and has a hormone balancing effect in both men and women. The root medicine used regularly can assist with bph and aid in ejaculation, strength and hardness of erection. Women have reported it is helpful in regulation of periods. The fresh root gathered, and also the gathered seed heads, since in general stinging nettle root is gathered late summer, so seeds will be present. tinctures 1:2 60-75% alcohol or dried 1:5. 

     Stinging nettle produce a stinging sensation upon contact, which like anything is going to vary among different people. Obviously if you react with extreme hives, that last for days you would not use this method. For me it's more like a 2-4 hour productive counter irritant effect. The stinging sensation is useful as a counter irritant to focus blood flow. The fresh plant is rubbed on arthritic,  rheumatism stiff joints, knuckles, knees, etc. as a therapeutic counter irritant. It's also useful for sciatica nerve pain. You can have someone, using gloves, trace the pain pathway with the fresh plant. Traditionally for back pain, a person removes clothing, lays on the stomach flat, and another person takes a stinging nettle switch, and whips the back repeatedly, rubbing the fresh plant directly on the skin, briefly, then pausing for a minute or so to assess reaction, whether to go further or that's enough. As different people react differently to stinging nettle, some more or less sensitive, always use caution, less is more. It's possible with fresh stinging nettle applied topical, spinal manipulation and ball, mat exercise to get some serious healing with spinal nerve compaction issues. Combined, although not simultaneously!, topical liniments and infused oils such as Heracleum maximum -- cow-parsnip root, st johns wort infused oil, arnica, pedicularis, aconite can be applied at various times alternating with therapeutic stretching, ball and mat work to get some serious healing going on.

Arrow leaf coltsfoot, Petasites sagittatus

 Arrow leaf coltsfoot (Petasites sagittatus)

Petasites frigidus var sagittatus. Wet moist muddy bogs, fens, swamp marshes; a northern circumpolar turtle island plant common east of the Coast-Cascade into eastern Great Lakes region. Petasites is considered closely related to the European species Tussilago farfara, which is also often called coltsfoot. Both genera members of the Aster family (Asteraceae) and have broad leaves that appear depending on year and location after the flowers emerge in early spring. Many stands like this one don't flower early, or flower later in the year towards mid June. Other stands further East can have lobed palmate leaves resembling devil's club, which this local variety doesn't have. In earliest spring the leaves can resemble stinging nettle. Both varieties have large big big leaves by summer. The leaves here are large triangular, hairy felt underneath more conspicuous later in season, the leaves grow quite large, serrated, and have a salty taste. Flowers are asteraceae type on a raised stalk, upright flowering stem. Here growing with willow, alder, Lysichiton americanus -- skunk cabbage, swamp valerian, pioneer yellow violet, wild ginger, devil's club. 

Here growing with skunk cabbage,

     Wherever these plants grew together they were utilized as remedies for the often the same thing, all coming up at the same time early spring snow melt. Used topical with swamp Valariana, devil's club, willow, for pain relief salves oils. Internally devils club, arrow leaf colt's foot, used for lingering early spring infectious, contain sesquiterpene petasin, found in western coltsfoot is a smooth muscle relaxant, antispasmodic, useful in respiratory coughs colds and asthma and bronchitis attacks. Arrow leaf colt's foot root contains antispasmodic, isopetasin in coltsfoot  is antispasmodic and a vasodilator calcium channel blocker.  

     

This is a plant with wide historic folk usage however due to pyrrolizidine alkaloids present in the early leaves it is contradicted for internal use, as these are liver toxic and avoided by pregnant and lactating women. It is said the larger summer leaves and roots do not contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids, a plant to be used cautiously internally in small amounts focused on larger summer leaf or root, or used as a topical for neurological pain. 

       This is our other variety, Petasites frigidus -- arctic sweet coltsfoot, growing in another stand, a bit further along, growing in another low moist, yin, water spirit boggy, swampy place. It has palmate leaves, stems hairy, pronounced veining on underside of leaf.
