This article reports on market conditions as of mid-April 2020 for herbal ingredients and products. Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs {CBCOH} is not recommending any of the mentioned botanical ingredients as remedies to prevent or treat coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, a global pandemic. By the end of March, about one-third of the world’s population was under some form of quarantine or public lockdown, and the virus has prompted a tsunami of disruptions to the global economy.1

The pandemic has had ripple effects across every economic sector, as companies and workers have halted travel and adapted to the new reality of “nonessential” business closures, supply chain interruptions, and nationwide stay-at-home orders. It is an unprecedented event for most people and has the potential to forever change life and business.

Moringa oleifera is one of the 12 known Moringa species in the horseradish tree family (Moringaceae) that flourish in drier parts of the world.1 Nine species occur in eastern Ethiopia, northern Kenya, and Somalia, of which eight moringa flowersare endemic to Africa, and three species occur in India.1,2 Belonging to the Brassicales order, this plant family is distantly related to cruciferous vegetables like arugula (Eruca vesicaria ssp. sativa, Brassicaceae) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica, Brassicaceae) and contains many of the same nutrients and sulfurous phytochemicals.1,3 Moringa species grow as stout-stemmed trees or shrubs. Some species are known as bottle trees and have a large root system that enhances water storage and aids the trees’ survival during periods of drought.1 Members of the Moringa genus have corky gray bark and distinct bi- or tri-pinnately compound leaves that have conspicuous swellings, or pulvini, at…

Fennel: A Versatile Powerhouse of Nutrition 
By Marie Olson, RWP, NTP, CA 

Fennel is an interesting and versatile plant. It has several uses culinarily, and also provides benefits herbally and aromatically.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a perennial herb that is highly aromatic. It has been described as having the flavor of black licorice, or anise (Pimpinella anisum), but many find it to be much milder, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications. There are three different plant parts that are used in cooking: The seeds, the stalk/bulb, and the fronds.

Edible Parts of Fennel

The fronds resemble dill (Anethum graveolens) in both appearance and flavor. That makes sense, since both fennel and dill are from the Apiaceae family, which includes celery (Apium graveolens), parsley (Petroselinum sativum), and coriander (Coriandrum sativum). It is also a relative of anise (Pimpinella anisum), which it resembles both physically and aromatically. The fronds are often used as a garnish…

Herbal Salves for Aromatherapy

By Anna Pageau, NAHA Certified Professional Aromatherapist®

What is a salve? A salve as defined by dictionary.com is “a medicinal ointment for healing or relieving wounds and sores.”1 Many over-the-counter remedies are salves such as Neosporin®. Lip balms are also a form of salve, so a salve doesn’t have to be medicinal, just nourishing to the skin. Salves in general are a simple formula with just a few ingredients. They generally include an oil and a wax to create a semi-solid material. Today people use the terms “lotion bars” or “balms” to also describe salves.

These oil-rich salves are used to nourish and protect skin. They lock moisture in, keeping skin soft and smooth throughout the seasons. Salves can be made as thick as a bar of soap. A salve will remain in a solid state…

La’au Lapa’au | Boswellia Extract May Be Beneficial for Reducing Inflammation and Pain in Patients Newly Diagnosed with Knee Osteoarthritis

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related disorder associated with chronic inflammation, joint pain, decreased mobility, and negative impact on quality of life. OA of the knee is the most common form of arthritis. Acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the primary medications used for symptoms related to OA of the knee. These pharmacological interventions often lead to gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular risk. Gum resin extracted from boswellia (Boswellia serrata, Burseraceae) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat chronic inflammatory diseases, including OA. Studies have shown boswellia extract to be beneficial for treating age-related inflammatory disorders. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, Boswellin (Sabinsa Corporation; East Windsor, New Jersey) was evaluated for its efficacy and safety in treating OA of the knee and to determine the interactions of b-boswellic acid with progression of OA of the knee.

The Way of Pōnō | The Concept of Pō

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila's avatarHālau 'Aha Hui Lānākila

This lesson comes from the teachings of Kumu Hula Mark Keali’i Ho’omalu, a well known and innovative Hula master whose Halau is located in Oakland, California. This lesson is taught in mo’olelo, a sacred learning circle, and is usually accompanied to the beat of traditional Pahu drums. It is a soulful experience to be in his presence … his Mana is extraordinary!

Q: What is Pō?

A: Pō is described as Light or Darkness. In the early times of Hawai’i, the people measured time on a lunar cycle. The Hawaiian day actually began at Midnight. Hence, the days of the week were named Pō’akahi (Monday, or first day), Pō’alua (Tuesday, or second day), and so on.

Q: What does Pō beyond the horizon mean?

A: Pō also means obscurity, or things not understood. Mythically, it was a time of the Divide, a time of the Gods. For some, it is a…

Meditation Moments …

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

May you receive an answer, a sign, a message, good news, or some kind of a blessing. You no longer have to overthink about it. Let it go. You did your part. You prayed about it. You visualized. You took action. You did everything on your end. Now relax.

Breathe.

Things are moving towards you. It has already happed for you. The minute you thought it, it already has been aligned to manifest into your reality. Now is the best time for patience and celebration. See it as a complete vision. How would you feel if you received that good news?

Put yourself in that expecting state. There’s no separation between your intentions and the manifestations of it. Right now, it is already done. It’s happening.  This is a message to bring you ease and comfort so you can have that reassurance that you got this.

On a spiritual level your creation is complete. The thought realm is our space for creation. What we think; we see, hear, and experience on the outside. You have already created what you’re about to receive.

Now, enjoy yourself. Have a great time with yourself or your loved ones and friends. Do what makes you happy instead of sitting around overthinking or worrying about how and when. Miracles happen when we are just living and expected blessings come suddenly when we are celebrating.

Lift your mood and believe you living and experiencing the best of what you want.

Breathe for a moment and lift your mind higher. Good news and sudden breakthroughs are happening for you before this week is over.

Be ready for it.

Asian American Literature | Edwin Rimban | Dancing Light, Frozen Light: Existential Pearls from the Heart

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

“Life and poetry are intertwined. For poetry is the language of the soul. Through poetry, our quintessence may seek a richer understanding of its consciousness and its dynamic place in the universe. These sets of poems, entitled “Dancing Light, Frozen Light” is a humble attempt to parse the permutations of consciousness into melodies and rhythms and associations that trigger explorations into the beauty of our souls. Mystics claim that Ultimate Reality is a symphony of dancing light as well as a crystal of frozen light. Therefore, may I invite you, dear reader, to partake of its joys and longings. Perhaps in these pages you can unearth something that may inspire you to undertake similar journeys. Welcome to my world.”  — Edwin L. Rimban

Here are the links I promised:

Pantry Profile: Chives {Allium schoenoprasum}

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

With its bright green stalks and vibrant, lavender-pink and spiky blossoms, chives are a lovely ornamental plant and herb garden staple. Found fresh in the yard in summer and dried in cupboards in the cooler months of fall and winter, chives hold surprising medicinal and nutritional benefits. A member of the Amaryllidaceae family {Amaryllis}, which includes familiar alliums garlic and onions, chives have a mild and pleasant onion-garlic flavor.

Chives have played a role in medicine and protection for more than 5,000 years. The ancient Romans used chives to relieve sore throats, lower blood pressure, and increase urination, while Traditional Chinese Medicine turned to it for coughs, colds, and congestion. In the Middle Ages, it was a popular remedy for melancholy.

A traditional Romani custom was to use chives in fortune telling and to hang them in the home to ward off disease and evil influences. Planting chives in the…

Are you fantasizing about starting a garden this year but not sure where to begin? Not to worry! There are many ways to participate in the gardening resurgence even if you don’t know the first thing about soil science, pollinators, or the difference between the 50 tomatoes to choose from on the seed rack at your local gardening store. Here are a few tips to get you started on your gardening journey.

Depending on your access to gardening space (tiny apartment or sprawling country farmhouse), free time, and available resources (how much money do you want to spend on this new gardening hobby anyway), you may want to start small or dig up your whole front yard and join the Food Not Lawns movement. All gardeners are welcome to the gardening club. As a start, I’m a big fan of growing sprouts in the kitchen as well as a…

Astrology | Sun in Gemini!

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Sun is moved into Gemini yesterday, the third sign of the zodiac. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the messenger planet, who is also moved into Gemini. 💫

Gemini has the twin energy which is dual and airy energy. So now is a great time for communication and everything that has to do with speaking, writing and also marketing. 💫

Gemini does not like to be stuck in one place and like to move around a lot. Short trips, vehicles and electronic devices are also connected to Gemini. You might acquire new things of such nature now. This can also bring an energy of indecisiveness and multi-tasking, so take the time to slow down every once in a while. 💫

Gemini is also connected to social media and we can see more interest and activity in this area of life. Gemini is all about connecting and socializing which makes this month more extroverted.

Now more than ever, we need more sunshine, fresh air, clean water, and to nourish our cells with powerful phytonutrients that strengthen our ability to adapt and thrive as we are exposed to stress, toxins, and virulent pathogens in our environment. Did you know that being outside, getting sunshine, and breathing fresh air (particularly humid air) is one of the best medicines against acute respiratory viruses? Being in a hospital on a respirator, as much as it may be a necessity for some, is far from creating an optimal environment for healing. Speaking of fresh air, did you know that our environment is cleaning up like never imagined because of COVID-19? Yes!  It’s true. Los Angeles, which normally has some of the poorest air quality in the world, now has clean air, and on April 21st, 2020, it saw some of the cleanest air of any major city…
