Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Companion Planting with Herbs

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Boost your garden this season with the right pairings of plants.

Companion planting is a fantastic addition to any garden. By specific plants next to certain fruits, flowers, and vegetables, you can boost their health and increase their production. Of course, knowing what pairings work best is key, especially when it comes to herbs.

How It Works

Companion planting improves growth in a number of ways. To start, some plants serve to repel unwanted pests while providing shelter and safety for beneficial insects. Others encourage pollination, which is especially needed for those fruits and vegetables that don’t have noticeable flowers. Species with bright shades of blue, white, or yellow and/or with high concentrations of nectar can attract bees to these lesser-flowered plants. Larkspur, sunflowers, sweet peas, cosmos, zinnias, and mints all do well in vegetable gardens {though the mint does spread quickly}. Companion planting is a wonderful tool for organic…

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Food as Medicine: Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis, Asparagaceae)

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

History and Traditional Use

Range and Habitat

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis, Asparagaceae) is a herbaceous perennial with stalks that can grow to several feet in height. Most asparagus is harvested once the stalk reaches 6-8 inches in height. The stalk is the edible portion of the plant, along with its pointed, budlike tip.1,2 If asparagus is not harvested, the stalks grow into finely textured, fern-like plants before going dormant in winter.3 In the United States, the primary asparagus producers are the states of California, Washington, and Michigan.4


Depending on the cultivation method, asparagus yields a crop in one of three colors: green, white, or purple. Green asparagus, the most common in the US, is allowed to grow exposed to sunlight until harvested. White asparagus contains no chlorophyll due to human intervention, which involves mounding dirt on the stalk as it grows to shield it from sunlight.

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Effects of Altitude on Phytochemistry and Genetics in Different Maca Phenotypes

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Maca (Lepidium meyenii, Brassicaceae) tubers have been used by indigenous Peruvians as a medicinal food since antiquity. Age- and gender-specific physiological effects of maca have been seen in vivo and in human trials with male and pre- and postmenopausal female subjects. Effects vary by color phenotype and levels of bioactive compounds, including glucosinolates (GCs). In an earlier study, red maca (RM) was found to have the most GCs. RM is reported to have a selective therapeutic effect in men over 50 against prostate hyperplasia. Black maca (BM) and purple maca (PM) had the next-highest GC levels in the earlier study. BM was reported to improve sexual desire and function in healthy men. Yellow maca (YM), with the least GCs, in a mixed-phenotype, traditional blend, was reported to help hormone balance in pre- and postmenopausal women. The effect of altitude on plant composition has been well documented across various…

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Herbs & Actions for Eczema, Psoriasis & Dermatitis Part 1

The Wonky Pot Apothecary's avatarThe Wonky Pot Apothecary

Alteratives

Alteratives are herbs that gradually restore the proper function of the body and increase health and vitality.  They seem to alter the body’s processes of metabolism so that tissues can best deal with a range of functions from nutrition to elimination. Many herbs with this action improve the body’s ability to eliminate waste through the kidneys, liver, lungs, or skin. Some stimulate digestion or are anti-microbial. Alteratives move the body to a state of health, removing indicators of systemic disintegration. They are often used for skin conditions to take some of the pressure of “detoxifying” the body and off of the skin while at the same time improving the skin’s ability to eliminate waste and heal. Alterative herbs are best used internally for their properties and can be particularly helpful for psoriasis, eczema, acne and many other skin conditions.

by nature arising and passing away.
If they arise and are extinguished,
their eradication brings happiness.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 9 of Wands – Tuesday, May 8, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

You can do this! Today we have another card of determination and perseverance. The 9 of Wands which we have today is more in the vein of ‘I’m Still Standing’ and ‘Eye of the Tiger’, whereas yesterday’s 7 of Wands was more of a ‘I Won’t Back Down’ kind of day. Either way, progress is being made, and your resolve to see changes come about in your life shall not waver. One can grow a bit weary from keeping at it, but persistence is the name of the game.

Very often, it can seem as though you havebeen knocked down repeatedly. But, hey! Give yourself credit, for every time you have pulled yourself back up and kept on trucking. Now is a good time to be thankful for all of the changes which have taken place thus far. Deal with them one at a time and you will soon…

Pāli Word a Day for May 06, 2018 — tāyitar — one who protects, shelters or guards

Khīṇaṃ purāṇaṃ nava
natthi sambhavaṃ,
virattacittāyatike bhavasmiṃ.
Te khīṇabījā, avirūḷhichandā.
Nibbanti dhīrā yathāyaṃ padīpo.

When past conditioning is released
and no fresh one produced,
the mind no longer seeks for future birth.
The seed consumed, cravings no more arise.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 6 of Swords – Sunday, May 6, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Ahhhh! Headed for smoother waters at last! And so the transition begins…you can not know everything which is coming your way over the next six to seven weeks, so you will need to trust in the Universe to guide you. This is a card of safe passage, where you are more along for the ride, than being in charge of everything, so the trust factor is extremely important.

The 6 of Swords signifies a switch from turbulence along your path, to easier times. It isn’t always the smoothest ride getting there, but keeping the faith will see you through until you have reached a calmer place, or distant shoreline, if you will. It is possible that this transition has not been a totally welcome one, but, it is however necessary. So much is ready to change before you, you just need to trust in the journey.

See you here tomorrow!

Venus Out Of Bounds during Royal Wedding

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Women love and money are freed up and unbound as of May  5th as VENUS goes OUT OF BOUNDS @ 12 degrees Gemini opposite to the Great Attractor and squaring Neptune her higher octave until June 7 where she “rebounds” under the Sun’s yoke again @ 22 degrees Cancer.
OUT OF BOUNDS
A planet is considered out of bounds when its declination is beyond the outer boundaries or limits of that of the Sun- greater than 23 degrees and 27 minutes of declination, either North or South. The energies of any planets moving OOB planets means the same thing as in sports- being beyond or passing the limits or boundaries of a field, course, or in planetary terms beyond the Sun’s path tends to be loose- freed up, uncontrollable stretched, or over the top during these periods. 
Venus uses her “get out of jail free” card to do her own thang. Love means freedom and expansion of the heart. This…
