Some of the herbal actions & specific herbs discussed in this episode include: gentle herbs for steaming – chamomile, lavender, mint demulcent herbs to protect mucous membranes and maintain hydration – marshmallow, mullein, linden, violet, fennel, licorice, pleurisy root, purslane, okra expectorants to get mucous out of the lungs – mullein, horehound, hyssop, elecampane respiratory relaxants for tense lungs & constricted airways – fennel, mullein, lobelia nervine herbs to cope with the stress of fires – lobelia, blue vervain, linden, hawthorn, goldenrod adaptogens for long-term stress resilience – codonopsis, jiaogulan, goji, reishi Whether you’re in a fire path or affected by the drifting smoke & particulates already, or worried this is on the horizon, these herbs can help. But they’ll only be helpful if you have them on hand, prepared & ready to go – and know how to work with them! – when you need them. So planning, preparing, and learning ahead of time is critical. 🌼WANT MORE HERBAL GOODNESS?

REGISTER FOR THE EMERGENT RESPONDER COURSE EPISODE DESCRIPTION Flooding causes great devastation, and it also brings many risks. Foremost among these are isues of pathogenic load: mold, bacteria, and other pathogens spread through flood waters. Minor wounds can easily get infected, breathing in the spores of mold can make one sick, and it’s difficult to avoid introducing germs to the digestive system in these conditions. Herbs can help. Antimicrobial herbs can be taken to protect against infection or fight off infection in all these areas of the body. Knowing the right method for applying or ingesting your herbs is critical to success here. Sometimes an herbal steam you inhale is much more important than herbs you eat or drink. Herbs discussed include: garlic, “mighty mints” (thyme, oregano, sage, monarda), “gentler mints” (peppermint, lavender), eucalyptus, aromatic evergreens (pine, spruce, juniper), yerba santa, elecampane, berberines (barberry, oregon grape, algerita, goldenseal), propolis, myrrh, chaparral, purple loosestrife, usnea, echinacea, prickly ash, spilanthes, turmeric, henna, black walnut, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, calendula. 🌼WANT MORE HERBAL GOODNESS?
