Yes, yes. Definitely the 97th of March. Only 198 days in April, followed by at least 3 weeks of May. Then we should be caught up with the new shelter in place order for much of the San Francisco Bay area – until May 3.

Self-Heal, Heal All

You’d think a plant with a name as auspicious as this one would be dramatic and imposing. Instead, it camouflages itself on your lawn. But it has been used internally and externally since at least the 2nd century in both China and Europe. Its botanical name, Prunella, derives from the German word Brunella, which comes from dying Braune, meaning quinsy {a throat abscess}, for which it was commonly used in the Middle Ages.

Description:

Self-heal is a creeping perennial that volunteers in moist places like woods, pastures, sub-alpine meadows, and, of course, lawns. It sends up a flexible, branching, the flowering stalk that can reach 1 foot tall, with soft oval or lance-shaped leaves and beautiful pink to blue-violet flowers on spikes.
True to its name, this herb traditionally “heals all,” from simple eyestrain to whole-body inflammation.

Preparation and Dosage:

Self-heal is used as a tea, in…

How to Make Hand Soap (and Why Thyme Essential Oil is the Perfect Ingredient!)

Before I get into the DIY hand soap recipes, I want to talk about Thyme essential oil, so you’ll know why I’m focusing on it for cleansing skin and supporting health.

(If you want to go directly to the recipes, scroll down to the sub-headline, Thyme Hand Soap Recipes!)

Did you know that Thyme essential oil was used in field hospitals in WWI?

Salvatore Battaglia mentions this in his book, The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy.

He gives a quick explanation for how Thyme essential oil was used:

“It was extensively used to medicate gauze and wool for surgical dressings. It resembles carbolic acid in its action, but it is less irritating to wounds and its germicidal action is greater.”

Thyme has been used in similar ways throughout most of recorded history.

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Discover the Health Benefits of the ‘Christmas Tree’, Spruce Oil and Pine Oil

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

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

The Pine tree is easily recognized as the “Christmas Tree,” but it is also commonly cultivated for its wood, which is rich in resin and is thus ideal for use as fuel, as well as for making a pitch, tar, and turpentine, substances that are traditionally used in construction and painting.

In folk tales, the height of the Pine tree has led to its symbolic reputation as a tree that loves the sunlight and is always growing taller in order to catch the beams. This is a belief that is shared throughout many cultures, which also refer to it as “The Master of Light” and “The Torch Tree.” Accordingly, in the region of Corsica, it is burned as a spiritual offering so that it can emit a source of light. In some Native American tribes, the tree is called “The Watchman of the Sky.”

If you have had the fortune to smell the aroma of peppermint after it has been distilled fresh from the farm, or I should say after the distillation process which takes quite a bit of time.

For several centuries, the oil obtained from the peppermint plant has been a vital element of several medications and there are sufficient reasons for this too. Peppermint oil is not only intense but also highly aromatic. In addition to being an established analgesic, carminative, and expectorant, peppermint oil possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties and, it is widely used to treat gastrointestinal (GI) problems like indigestion as well as stomach spasms. However, this oil is used in mild doses for these purposes. There is evidence indicating that peppermint oil can also be used for treating irritable bowel syndrome {IBS}.

Basil Essential Oil is derived from the leaves of the Ocimum basilicum botanical, better known as the Basil herb.

It may also be referred to as Saint Joseph’s Wort, Great Basil, European Basil, French Basil, Common Basil, or Sweet Basil.

Several religions and spiritual beliefs practice rituals that emphasize the significance of the use of Basil.

La’au Lapa’au | Can Fungi Ease Disease in Bees?

by Connor Yearsley

Many people grew up with Winnie-the-Pooh, the good-natured bear who was often looking for “hunny” in rotting tree hollows. Renowned mycologist (fungi expert) Paul Stamets, however, maybe the first person to wonder if some bees are drawn to rotting wood partly because of the health benefits that the fungal mycelia can provide as they break down the wood. Mycelia are the vegetative part of a fungus’ life cycle and consist of threadlike tubes called hyphae that spread in every direction.

With researchers at Washington State University (WSU) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Stamets’ hypothesis that fungi can help bees is being validated with extracts of the mycelia of two fungal species: amadou (Fomes fomentarius, Polyporaceae) and reishi (Ganoderma resinaceum, Ganodermataceae). In laboratory and field trials on the Western or European honeybee (Apis mellifera), these extracts significantly reduced levels of viruses…

There are few scents in this world that evoke the feeling of clean – lavender is one of them. Its common and scientific name originates from lavare, the Latin word for wash or bathe. Lavender was popular as a linen-washing herb in Europe, no doubt due to its pleasant aroma, but it also possesses antiseptic qualities and can help to keep insects at bay. Discouraging or killing insects was paramount before the invention of glass windows and screens, a time when humans often shared the same roof with flea and lice-ridden livestock. Maude Grieve writes in A Modern Herbal (no longer especially modern, as it was written in 1931):

Dried Lavender flowers are still greatly used to perfume linen, their powerful, aromatic odour acting also as a preventative to the attacks of moths and other insects. In America, they find very considerable employment for disinfecting hot rooms and keeping away…

Musings | Ready To Say Goodbye To The Dark Night Of The Soul??

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

What many assume is the result of a low vibration, limiting subconscious beliefs, an out-of-control ego, or the assumption of ‘evil forces’ at play is a crucial stage of awakening called “Dark Night of the Soul”. During this stage, attachments to ego are deconstructed and unraveled, resulting in much pain, confusion, fear, and frustration for many beings. While surrender is the best remedy, it’s best to employ this in a specific way so not to become the ego’s way of co-opting the beauty of surrendering as a means of trying to control its experience or preserve its false perception of power.

In order to activate the authentic power of surrender, try repeating these words out loud:

“Thank you beloved Universe for awakening within me. Please spare no expense at unraveling what needs to be unraveled, transforming what needs to be transformed, and healing what needs to be healed. I surrender to the fate of my highest potential and divine authority, inviting the change that only brings forth greater harmony, wholeness, liberation, and well-being.

I hand over the aspects of ego that were never meant to go any further in my journey, allowing a greater embodiment and integration of heart-centered consciousness to abide within me now. Even when it feels like all hope is lost or as if I’m going to die, I step forward into the mystery that cannot be understood ‘beforehand’, only to receive more awareness of the light I AM, have always been, and shall always be. With a deeper commitment to self-care and healthy choices, I surrender my patterns of addiction by allowing my surrender to be complete.

This is not a surrendering from making choices, but surrendering to the highest choices that nourish my body with the nutrition, rest, and emotional support it so deserves and desires. Thank you for this opportunity to transform ancestral lineages and help uplift the consciousness of humanity by ending the inner battle of ego. And thank you for no longer supporting the negotiation of self-defeating choices. Thank you dearest Universe. I am the vessel of your highest will. Take me, I’m yours. And so I let go. I am surrendered. Surrendered I am. And so it is.”

Whether just needing to say it once or several times per day, please utilize this healing mantra to align with the light of your rebirthing soul, instead of identifying with the unraveling of a dissolving ego structure.

On behalf of the Universe, you are loved, guided, and supported so miraculously and incredibly — now and forever. Please enjoy each section of this newsletter and know that you are loved in each and every breath.

All my love,
Matt Kahn
