Geeez, spring can't come fast enough for most this year! I wish you all much grace and ease as we move forward in wild and crazy directions some times.
Herb of the Month
Passionflower ~ Passiflora incarnata
This has to be one of my most favorite flowers to draw and marvel at it's beauty. The leaves are used in herbal medicine most commonly as a sleep aid. It leaves no 'hangover' when you awaken, it's non-addictive and relaxes the nerves. It is also used for neuralgia and shingles. It's a sedative, hypnotic, anti-spasmodic, anodyne and a nervine.
It is said that the name comes from the petals and flowers representing the crown of thorns, therefore the Passion of Christ.
The flower essence of the Passionflower is used to get in touch with our inner selves, our Christ consciousness. It opens the throat and heart chakras. The throat in the way of taking responsibility for ones personal needs and nourishing the inner self, the heart chakra is our center where we love. The more open it becomes the wider our capacity to love the circle of life.

Blessings of Unconditional Love!
Once again this month comes around and I notice how I feel seeing the valentine items around. I enjoy seeing the uplifted joy that is felt by many with so much focus on sharing heart moments together as a world. Maybe we could challenge ourselves to find someone that is in desperate need to be loved by another to help them feel their own love of who they are. Handing them a simple flower could do just that! Or a sprig of a herb that has an uplifting aroma such as basil, lavender, rosemary. Realize the power we all have that can change someones life in ways that one could never imagine!
Herb of the Month
Marshmallow ~ Althaea officinalis
I think this may be the softest leaf I have ever felt, softer than velvet! I had her growing in the center of my medicine wheel garden.
Her velvet leaves are a demulcent and expectorant used for the lungs, a great ingredient in a natural cough syrup or a cup of tea. Make sure you steep your medicinal leaf tea for at least 20 minutes to extract the constituents from it that your body can use.
The root is used as a vulnerary, demulcent, diaretic and emollient. Useful in the digestive tract and in external skin applications.
Back in the day it was known to grow well only in the gates of happy homes. The leaves were used to treat horse's swollen heels which is where the name 'hock' came from. It was also thought to come from the holy land so the name Hollyhock was derived. Pythagorean philosophers viewed the mallow as sacred due to the flowers always turning towards the sun. She became the symbol of moderation and control of human passions, that they considered necessary in attaining wisdom and health.
The tender young leaves were eaten by the poor in Ancient Greece and experienced as being sugary and mild. A symbol of sweetness.
The flower essence is used to engender warmth and openness.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I hope you all had a safe & fun entry into this next course of history. What are you focusing on for this moment of your life? We can focus on long range goals, short range goals all kinds of goals, but what we really have is this moment. In this moment we can be an incredible difference maker or a horrible warning. In this moment we can make a difference in another's life as well as our own. What difference might you want to make? In this moment we can live as if it's our last moment. In this moment know you are loved & a miracle of miracles on this planet!
Herb of the Month
Frankincense ~ Boswellia Thurifera
This tree grows in Arabia & Somaliland. The gum/resin is collected from May thru September & mostly found as incense & essential oil. In aromatherapy the essential oil of frankincense is used for a wide variety of conditions. Respiratory infections, catarrh, laryngitis, asthma, fevers, urinary infections, heavy periods, anxiety, tension, hyperventilation, poor concentration, aging skin, fear, insecurity, lack of self confidence, eczema, scarring, sores & wounds. One can add a couple of drops in a spray bottle to mist with, can put some in a carrier oil such as extra virgin olive oil to be applied on the skin that way, or a diffuser.
As an incense it was highly used by the Egyptians & in many religions.
I am using Frankincense as an assistance in staying focused as well as Guayusa Tea as I start off this New Year. Free shipping is still being offered. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/guayusa-tea.html

December 2014
As life changes fast & furiously sometimes & living in the moment is basically all you can do to maintain health, peace & gratitude. I wish you all an amazing month full of holiday traditions & ways of reaching out to one another to bring in the magic for all, no matter what they may be going thru.
I was at the beach last week & felt a creative desire come in. A scallop shell, a snail shell & a clam shell all whole, with no more creature in them, I found along the shore. I was also noticing bittersweet vines with the berries showing from the opening of yellow skin so I decided to clip some to bring in some color for the centerpiece I was getting the notion to create. While cutting the vines I noticed a juniper tree with three lovely branches that had some blue juniper berries attached, calling my attention. I clipped the three branches along with some bittersweet & envisioned a mini Christmas tree with a cup of sand as a foundation. I attach a photo of what came to be.
There are simple little treasures just awaiting to be seen & the plants do love the way they can be used & enjoyed in many facets. I encourage you to allow your creativity to flow.
To finish the mini indoor tree story, it ended up becoming a decoration on my sister's back deck in a flower box with the loving hands of my mum after missing my niece's departure to go back to NYC where it might of been the perfect size tree for their living quarters.
Herb of the Month ~
Cardamon ~ Elettaria cardomomum
In the same species as Ginger.
I love cardamon! It's definitely one of those aromas that bring all of Christmas to be. If it wasn't for Swedish Coffee Bread then Christmas just isn't Christmas. It's the special nurturing gift that is felt deep in my family. There are other foods such as Swedish Rusks that also holds the essence & flavor of cardamon. I've been using it in my coffee for the last month lately, it's heavenly in my opinion.
Cardamon is a carminitive, stimulant & aromatic. The herb does stimulate the appetite & the flow of saliva.
The seed is harvested about now in Guatemala & India. Known as the "Queen of Spice" in India.
It assists in relieving gripping pain & treat flatulent dyspepsia. (stomach upset with frequent eructations of swallowed air) The seed & leaves are used in tea form. Steep for a good 20 minutes or so.
Cardamon is found in chai tea too, another favorite of mine. Iced or hot & of course made with 9.5pH Kangen water.
With winter upon us, it's very important to build up your immunity. Also the knowledge of herbs in your kitchen to help out when dis-ease does enter the picture. Hint, if you buy candy canes make sure you get the ones that are natural peppermint, they could be of assistance in calming down a stomachache.

November 2014
November blessings to you!
Here in CT we had a thick frost this morning which brought me to the thoughts of the herbs that may still be out there growing in gardens. Drying them is always an option or creating recipes & adding them into your food.
I've attached a photo of my parents garden in Cromwell CT still thriving as of Oct 31, 2014. Eating your Herbal medicine is a special gift for your body!
Instead of focusing on one particular Herb this month, I thought I'd share a couple of recipes for you to try.
First one is ~
MIXED HERB DRESSING
(the different combination of herbs that can be used to make this dressing are virtually endless)
2 Tablespoons chopped mixed herbs: basil, chervil, chives, parsley, & mint
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
Himalayan salt & fresh ground pepper
Makes 2/3 cup
Beat the chopped herbs into the olive oil. Beat in the vinegar and mustard. Season to taste, then add the garlic.
Use at once or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Return the dressing to room temperature before use.
SAGE APPLESAUCE
6 Apples, cord & chopped
1/3 cup honey
3 Sage leaves
Place all in a saucepan, cook over low heat til apples are soft. Remove sage & mash to the consistency you would like.
HAIR CONDITIONER/RINSE
Just had to share this!
"Today I sprayed the beauty water for the first time on my hair after a shower - have no idea why it took me so long to do this-
But I've already had 4 people I work with come up to me out of the blue and say "wow your curls and color look amazing today and it looks so healthy, what did you do?????? "
I told them that spraying the beauty water from my amazing Kangen machine and they were all completely blown away and asking how can they get it!!! And this is a Spa / Salon environment where they have every top product you can think of !!
So incredible!!!" ~ Jen Newton
Just add a Tablespoon of herbs (lavender, chamomile, calendula, rosemary, etc) to the Kangen beauty water & let infuse for an hour or so, strain & use. If you want to add an aroma that is.Or you can add a drop of your favorite 100% pure essential oil.
Enjoy your Holidays!
Joy!
Love & Peace beyond all understanding,
Lori

October 2014
October is here!
Have you ever wondered why October is labeled as this month (the 10th month) when Octo in Latin means 8? Apparently, it was the 8th month of the Roman calender (pre-46 B.C.E.) which started the year off as March, January & February was inserted in later. I hope you are enjoying the fall so far with the cooler nights & the possible oven & stovetop being used more during this abundant time of locally grown fruits & veggies a plenty.
Herb of the Month
Walnut ~ Juglans nigra
Not only are the nuts(fruit) nutritious but the leaves & bark are useful as well. They have astringent, laxative & alterative properties. Internally the properties in the leaves can assist with inflammation of the gut. Externally they are used for skin issues such as shingles blisters & varicose veins. The bark has been used as a purgatory & for blood cleansing. DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT!
I use the flower essence of Walnut, which works beautifully for the emotions dealing with Change. It can be very helpful for Pets as well as humans.
Insects will not touch the leaves. The leaf produces a brown dye which is said that the gypsies used on their skin. It is also said that they contain iodine.
In Ancient Greece the Walnut tree was dedicated to the goddess Artemis symbolizing wisdom, fertility, & longevity, as well as strength in adversity. The nuts were used in love spells & served at Roman & Greek weddings.

Begin with Home.

Affirmation: I Am Doing the Best I Can!
August 2014
A Blessed Day to You as we are half way thru Summer already!
The main thing on my mind lately is our beloved pets, especially my Beloved Grand-dog, Andre' whom is no longer in physical form at this time. The last few days of July have been intense. I'm sure that it is no mistake that dog spelled backwards is God! True Angels on this planet!
Check out my new video on the process of EFT, I would love to hear your feedback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y4QUooEWCg
Herb of the Month
Oak ~ Quercus robur
Although not an herb, yet a tree, the trees also have incredible assistance for us. The Common Oak or British Oak's flower is considered the flower of the Druids, linked into the history of the British . The strong, sturdy & steadfast oak, who grows slowly & huge, stands proud like the British choose to see themselves.
Considered to be one of the best timber for it's strength & flexibility in building ones home with, one may consider how that relates to ones life. The Druids &
Chinese see it as very masculine, in Christianity it symbolizes Christ's strength in adversity & steadfastness in faith & virtue. The Druid's planted sacred groves of Oak where they would hold special ceremonies & share their wisdom with one another.
The astringent properties of Oak bark was used internally for poisons & infections in the digestive track as well as assisting in healing the bladder from infection & inflammation. Used for excessive menstrual bleeding, sinus congestion, toning muscles within the circulatory system making it beneficial for varicose veins & hemorrhoids.
Oak has also been of value as an antidote to the effects of alcohol & the craving of it. Used in the withdrawal process.
The acorn can be a super food when ground down to make acorn flour & used as a food source. Just by observing a squirrel one can see the benefits of the acorn.
As a Bach Flower Essence practitioner, I have found Oak to be of great assistance for many. To sum it up I'll quote a line from the book titled "Flower Power" "Oak allows the vital energies to flow naturally through the body, as the rigid fighting spirit begins to let go, and makes it possible to be as strong as an oak tree."
I have attached a phenomenal piece of wisdom titled 'Letting Go"

July 2014
A warm welcome this July 2014!
I hope this finds you well & happy.
I'm in Charlotte NC & it's been quite warm since I arrived over a month ago now. The farmer's markets are bursting with zucchini, beets, tomatoes, etc already & let's not forget the peaches, yum!
I made fresh peach steal cut oatmeal yesterday for breakfast & am thinking of making chicken salad with fresh peaches as well, of course I'll toss in some fresh basil, maybe some thyme & chipolte pepper along with arugula. Hmm, feels like that's what I'll be having for dinner tomorrow. How about you?
Herb of the Month
Plantain ~ Plantago major
This herb is a great emergency herb to know while out & about in ones adventures of life. I'm including a video I made to explain that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrpB4WcxUoU
It's also an expectorant, demulient, astringent, diuretic, emollient & vulnerary (I've had the request to make a chart of these 'action' terms with a definition so I do have that on my list to do). In a nut shell it's been used for coughs & mild bronchitis. It's astringent properties aids in diarrhea, hemorrhoids & cystitis if bleeding.
This herb is well worth the time to get to know, due to the prevalent growing all over & the value of it as in a survival herb to be able to harvest on the spot & put it to use.
"Dr. Robinson (New Family Herbal) tells us that an Indian received a great reward from the Assembly of South Carolina for his discovery that the Plantain was 'the chief remedy for the cure of the rattlesnake.' "

"When roots grow deep, it matters not how windy it gets."
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/online-farmers-market.html
Everything is a church. Earth is Sacred. It's just the illusions of barriers that people put up.
I've been blessed to have dear special friends in my life that have opened their doors to me, making me feel welcome & loved as I have been going from place to place for many reasons, I won't get into the reasons, & I Am forever grateful! You see, I was taught in Sunday School that the church is not the building, it's the people that make a church. Well my experience has been that this Earth is a big church with friends from far & wide that I hold as Sacred. We may not have the same BLOOD but we do have the same ROOT!
Herb of the Month
Blood Root ~ Sanguinaria canadensis
This plant is on the endangered list & the Botanical Garden at the University of North Carolina has done a great job of growing it as it's propagating & very happy there. It loves to grow in the shade.
Blood Root has been used for bronchitis. It is an emetic & expectorant in which the root of the plant is used.
It's also good for the treatment of gums in ones mouth.
This herb can easily make you sick if swallowed so I only use it as a mouthwash or as a packing.
The reddish juice from the herb was used as dye for baskets, clothing & body paint.
The bachelors of the Ponca tribe used bloodroot as a love charm. They applied the red juice to their palm & shook hands with the woman they wanted to marry. It was believed to induce consent.
DO NOT USE IT IF PREGNANT!!!

Herb of the Month
Chickweed ~ Stellaria media
Chickweed is one of those herbs that you can find in most grassy areas. Been labeled as a weed .... yet this weed has a different perception through an Herbalist's eyes. There are actually medicinal constituents in it such as saponins. It has been used as an emollient, anti-rheumatic & vulnerary. Used for excema, psoriasis & other skin irritations externally. Taken internally it has been used for the inflammation of rheumatism.
This herb/weed can be tossed in salads as well for a nice added touch & to add a zest of different texture to the palette.
The tiniest, delicate white flowers grow in a star shape from this greenery. Surly if you get the chance to see a quick glimpse of a tiny fairy nearby it's charm & grace. A delight to notice this herb/weed next time you go out into your yard or park. The tiniest treasures can be found everywhere.

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my dear son! 26 years young, Wow! We say that time flys & where does it go? We can't wrap our minds around the whole time disappearing thing........as time allows us all the freedom to create what we want. The question is....what do you want? What does your soul want? Unity?
Herb of the Month
Gingseng ~ Panax ginseng ~ Panex quinquefolium ~ Eleuthrococcus senticosus
Considered the flower of Unity!
The most popular ginseng is the Chinese species. The American Ginseng is considered the 'true ginseng'. It is an endangered plant due to over harvesting of it when it became so popular upon discovering all it's incredible graces. Daniel Boone actually made quite a fortune in selling ginseng. Therefore, please do not wild-craft this herb but most definitely consider adding it to your garden.
Ginseng is an adaptagen which means it has a normalizing aspect in the body assisting to create balance due to stress from tension & anxiousness or tired & lethargic. It acts on the pituitary gland & adrenal glands, stimulating their function during stress by distributing the stress throughout the body therefore blockages aren't created & the body can process more efficiently.
It increases white blood cells which boosts the immune system, reduces blood sugar, improves the appetite & digestion. Ginseng aids the liver in resisting hepatotoxins & radiation. It also stimulates sexual function in both male & female.
The root of the plant has a human shape. Fun to see the many forms & personalities in it.
The flower essence imparts an awareness of what it means to be a human being. It is a great essence that supports all aspects of the mental, physical, emotional & spiritual being in an uplifting energetic way.

A Challenge for March
Random acts of service, loving more than you'll ever get back & feeling your Soul ever present. That's the inner child! Connecting with kindred spirits, discovering that we can create a Harmonious Relationship with the universe & each other. All it takes is forgetting everything you've ever learned & practicing what is the truth & feeling your way thru. Who knew this was the way back home! & Yes, I'm still migrating yet ready to find a location to settle for a time or 2.
~ Herb of the Month
Evening Primrose ~ Cenothera biennis
This herb & flower has been described as the 'silent love'. The flowers are a gorgeous yellow that usually open only in the evening or very cloudy days. It grows in almost any soil or place. Great for backdrops in your herbal garden if you are planting one. It was traditionally used as an edible plant, eating the leaves in salads & the seeds. It's a biennial & in most areas reseeds itself.
The seeds are well known as an oil. Evening Primrose Oil is high in Omega 6 fatty acid which is very valuable for the hormonal system, the immune system & nervous system. One of the few oils that contain GLA (gamma linoleic acid) extremely valuable for PMS as well as aids the regeneration of a damaged liver which can be the cause of many issues & due to extreme alcohol usage & many pharmaceutical medications. I would take it for any blood clotting issues or coronary artery disease. It's also used for multiple sclerosis. Put it this way, I haven't heard of it hurting you in any way so may just take it daily regardless. It's in the Ukon formula which I now am a distributor for. A very good organic pure supplement, in capsule form, for sure.
The flower essence of Evening Primrose is recommended for people who suffer from feeling rejected often due to childhood experiences. Possibly from the lack of emotional support or love. With this fear of rejection people tend to avoid close emotional contact, intimacy & committed relationships. Creating the experience over & over again. The essence of this flower can help to form deeper relationships with people.

It's hard to believe that it's almost Valentine's day! I'm in Atlanta, GA as I write this. Yes, I am here during the arctic weather & snow storm that created quite the situation here. Many took the opportunity to create a positive response & reached out to others that they may have never known otherwise. We all might want to realize that the earth is undergoing some changes & the 'normal' may just be changing as the process goes forward. I am having the blessing of meeting facebook friends face to face & it has been an incredible experience of much comfort & love as if we've known each other forever! So yes, I took the chance of going to "stranger's" places & am forever grateful of meeting such wonderful people. I do not advocate it, I do follow my intuition & heart carefully which has been my biggest 'tool' & always find out quickly when I go against what my intuition tells me. It's been a great learning experience..hehe.
I wish you all a very loving Valentine's day!
Herb of the Month
Southernwood ~ Artemisia abrotanum
Southernwood is sister to the wormwood yet mainly grows in the south unless specifically planted in the north like I did when I was living in Hopkinton, MA. Likes to be in a moist climate & is very useful as a moth control instead of mothballs in the closets, etc.
It's a small shrub & highly aromatic, light green fine feathery leaves.
It's main medicinal use is as an emmenagogue. Also has been used as an anthelmintic most successful against worms in young children.
The leaves would be strewn upon the floors as a air freshener & to ward off insects.
This plant is not a common herb used these days but it is one of my favorites to be grown in my yard. There is something comforting about this herb, whether it be the softness of the leaves, the aroma or probably the combination along with the color.
Avoid if pregnant!

Notice your positive cheerleading internal voice right now, Where is it? Is it loud or is it soft? Imagine there is a sound dial that controls the volume of your internal dialog. Turn up the volume of your positive voice. How does that make you feel? Try finding a volume level that motivates you. ....that encourages you to be your best. Now, notice your negative inner voice. Where is it? Whenever you notice the Yabut's taking control, just turn down the volume & notice how that makes you feel. ~ Manifesting Ultimate Freedom http://www.thymeforwellness.com/empowershops.html

The NEW is here!
New Year, New Moon, New Intentions
At 6:15am est the new moon begins, the first one of this month with another one on the 30th. An amazing way to start this year of 2014. Thru the cycles of the moon is the way that time was kept track of for eons.
Herb of the Month
Guayusa ~ Ilex guayusa
Native to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest.
A member of the holly family & one of the biggest holly trees.
Guayusa contains all of the essential amino acids for humans and has a “high antioxidant activity,” with ORAC antioxidant values of 58μM per gram, compared to 28-29μM per gram for commercial Green Tea.[3]
Good substitute for coffee, similar to Yerbe Mate yet better! Most experience no jitters even though it has caffeine.
Indigneous to Ecuador where it has been a morning ritual for eons within the tribes. The tribe would rise early, drink guayusa & share their dreams together for the elders to help decipher. They also labeled the tea "The Night Watchman" due to the alertness that it brings on. Also contains L-theanine & theobromine.
For ones that suffer excessive acidity, digestive or other problems of the stomach & bile.
Develops mental strength & is paradoxical in the senses, both energizing & relaxing.
It can have the affect of giving lucid dreams (when you are aware that you are dreaming & can direct your dreams) The boundary between sleeping & wakefulness becomes more fluid & dreams become more colorful, richer & more potent than before.

The NEW is here!
New Year, New Moon, New Intentions
At 6:15am est the new moon begins, the first one of this month with another one on the 30th. An amazing way to start this year of 2014. Thru the cycles of the moon is the way that time was kept track of for eons.
Herb of the Month
Guayusa ~ Ilex guayusa
Native to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest.
A member of the holly family & one of the biggest holly trees.
Guayusa contains all of the essential amino acids for humans and has a “high antioxidant activity,” with ORAC antioxidant values of 58μM per gram, compared to 28-29μM per gram for commercial Green Tea.[3]
Good substitute for coffee, similar to Yerbe Mate yet better! Most experience no jitters even though it has caffeine.
Indigneous to Ecuador where it has been a morning ritual for eons within the tribes. The tribe would rise early, drink guayusa & share their dreams together for the elders to help decipher. They also labeled the tea "The Night Watchman" due to the alertness that it brings on. Also contains L-theanine & theobromine.
For ones that suffer excessive acidity, digestive or other problems of the stomach & bile.
Develops mental strength & is paradoxical in the senses, both energizing & relaxing.
It can have the affect of giving lucid dreams (when you are aware that you are dreaming & can direct your dreams) The boundary between sleeping & wakefulness becomes more fluid & dreams become more colorful, richer & more potent than before.

Kangen Water machines make an incredible gift, that keeps on giving for years & years.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/index.html
Blessings of Colors amidst all the Ceremonies & Celebrations happening this month!
Colors are an incredible tool & resource.
They can affect us in so many ways, I am going to address them in the way we eat. Eating a diet of colors. Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange & Red which are the colors of the rainbow & the colors of the chakras within us. For a short synopsis of chakras (if you're not familiar with the term) you can go here: http://www.thymeforwellness.com/chakras--the-3-selfs.html
Choosing foods on a daily basis according to color can be highly significant! They also work with the different organs of the body. Suggestions: Purple ~ beets, blackberries, eggplant. Blue ~ blueberries, borage flowers, blue corn. Green ~ spinach, avocados, celery. Yellow - potatoes, summer squash, onions. Orange ~ carrots, butternut squash, papaya. Red ~ pomegranates, strawberries, tomatoes. Just to name a few...have fun in your produce dept especially, finding the rainbow to plate up & nourish you. Rainbow chard is great, it's got it all in one plant! :)
Herb of the Month
Comfrey ~ Symphytum officinale
Nitrogen rich the Comfrey leaf is, a great fertilizer for your tomato plants! The flowers are bell shaped with a star opening, I've only seen purple in color yet understand there may be blue or yellow. The perfect hat for a flower fairy or tomte.
The rich dark green leaves are very powerful in their healing of wounds so be careful not to use them until the wound has been healing from the inside out long enough or else the area could heal too fast & leave gaps that have not finished their healing process...the root & leaf have been used to heal bones, yet is strongly suggested not to be consumed internally. There are many cases on record that have had remarkable results in drinking comfrey tea to aid in broken bones yet due to the pyrrolizidine alkaloids that have been blamed for some liver damage, etc., it is banned to drink in the USA.
Also, used a a poultice externally it has had tremendous results.
The actions of this herb are a vulnerary, demulcent, astringent, expectorant & emollient. Good for bronchitis & irritable coughs while assisting in breaking up the mucous for the body to heal itself. It's been known to be a powerful agent in ulcers, ulcerative colitis & hiatus hernia.
Some 'magical' powers of Comfrey is to provide safety to travelers by carrying the leaf on them & also tucked into suitcases & bags.

inside a bubble
If I curl myself, up inside a bubble & call myself an orb, I would float around sometimes fast, sometimes slow, seeing the world for the first time in total awe......
Then the bubble connects with something sharp & pops..... & the illusion begins.
Time to climb into my bubble again. I AM an Orb. My blog page http://www.thymeforwellness.com/blog.html
Herb of the Month ~
Artemisia vulgaris ~ Mugwort
Mugwort can be used for digestive issues, a mild nervine & an emmenagogue. As an emmenagogue it helps regulate the menstrual cycle. Known as the 'flower of Artemis', the Greek goddess who revived plants each night with her refreshing dew. Her twin brother, Apollo sent the sun's rays during the day. Artemis was known to be the protector & patron of women.
I would take it in tincture form rather than as tea due to the bitter quality of this herb.
Mugwort (Artemisia) is also used to help remember dreams & for clarity of them, it is usually found in dream pillows. The flower essence of Mugwort also works with the dream state, balancing the transition of night & day consciousness.
Native Americans have taught us that it can be used as a fragrant smudge stick combining with other herbs,for an insecticidal & fungicidal smoke that an area is smudged with.
Pliny wrote in his Naturalis Historia to carry it with you as a traveler to ward off tiredness.
In Ancient Chinese traditions, Mugwort was hung in the home to ward off evil spirits, which was gathered at the time of the Dragon festival.
Interesting that it is used in Chinese remedies & Traditional remedies for sleep walking...the dream state & wakeful state along with being mainly a feminine support in nurturing that Sacredness.

October ~ according to the Gregorian calender.
Energy, "everything is energy". ...& most energy is invisible. So how can we experience the feeling of this energy? Here's an exercise for you to do, I love to share this with clients after giving them a Therapeutic Touch Energy session. Hold your hands so they are facing each other. Put your fingertips almost together, forming a circle. Slowly pull them away from each other just a couple of inches, than bring them back to almost touching again. Do this over & over again a few times bringing your hands farther apart a little more each time. Can you feel the 'ball' of energy that you are creating? This is that empty space that you mostly are. The 99.9999999999999%
Herb of the month ~
Rue ~ Ruta graveolens
Ruta comes from the Greek word "reuo" meaning to set free. Having the reputation of "freer of disease".
It's actions are anti-spasmodic, emmenagogue, anti-tussive, abortifacient, anthelmintic, anti-microbial, bitter, rubefacient & a stimulant.
It also has been used as an insecticide.
The dried aerial parts is the part of the plant that is used. It can be found in the woods, near the sea due to the love of being amongst the mist, although can be found growing in many conditions.
It is said that if you chew the leaf it can relieve tension headaches & ease anxiety. Avoid the flowers due to the juice will burn your skin, it's that powerful. Harvest before the flower forms.
*see attached for photo taken by John Goff
Rue would be planted outside the front door to ward off "evil spirits or spells". Romans ate rue as a preservative against an evil eye, to guard the bearer from poisons, werewolves, etc. Some churches used a branch of rue to sprinkle the holy water around.
If ingested please do so very sparingly, could cause gastric reactions.
Avoid if pregnant or in the process of becoming pregnant.

http://www.thymeforwellness.com/index.html
Blessings to you & your loved ones!
What is most important to you?
What brings you to tears of joy & tears of sorrow?
What do those tears tell you about yourself?
If you rated yourself between 1-10, 10 being 100% & 1 being 0%, what number comes up with the question of 'How much do I love myself?'
What are you doing in support of loving yourself? How do you treat yourself?
Healthy food? Fresh air? Cleanliness? Exercise or Stretching? Taking care of you? What's your inner dialog? Positive thoughts or negative ones? Are you in Integrity? Are you walking your talk? Do you treat others like you want to be treated? or do you just think you do & aren't being honest with yourself? Can you commit to yourself in making the art of loving yourself 100% as an immediate goal?
The sooner we all love ourselves fully, the sooner we can love each other fully & there will be no trying to bring peace on earth, it will just automatically happen. Would love to hear your feedback on this...
Hyssop ~ Hyssopus offincinalis
One of the main ingredients in cough syrup. You know the cough syrup that was made from herbs before the pharmaceutical industry decided to change things up a bit. Hyssop's medicinal actions consist of an expectorant, antispasmodic, diaphoretic, sedative, carminative, anti-catarrhal, hepatic, vulnerary. It's part of the mint family.
Best harvest time is usually in August, late summer, the aerial parts are used (flowers, stem & leaves). You can bundle a few stems together & dry hanging them upside down in a hot dark & dry space. Than keep it in a airtight dry container, I like glass best, & in a dark place. Will maintain it's medicinal value for about a year if stored properly.
An infusion made from the flowers can be steeped for 20 minutes & drank as a tea. Best water to use is Kangen 9.5ph which you wouldn't need to heat the water if you would prefer room temperature tea or heat to just before it comes to a boil.
Hyssop has been referred to in the bible, 'Purge me with Hyssop, and I shall be clean.'. The name hyssop is of Greek origin considered to be a holy herb & used to clean sacred places.
Mixes great with horehound & adds a lot more to the tea. A touch of honey works nicely to combine the 2 herbs together.

"When roots grow deep, it matter's not how windy it gets." LCW
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/home--unity.html
Summertime, tomatoes are ripening, butterflies are dancing about, the stars & planets are lining up in some incredible ways if you follow astrology at all & check out the alignments. Many herbs are ready for harvesting to be dried or used right away to create marvelous salves, tinctures, etc for our benefit & to spice up our life with flavors.
The balancing act of finding time for our own nurturing & discovering what we are really all about within this experience we call life. Even if you just are able to take off your shoes & walk barefoot upon the grass, sand, ground connected directly to this planet called Earth ( get off the concrete) for a few minutes you will find a peace that connects to your heart if you'll just notice for a moment.
Herb of the Month ~
Elecampagne ~ Inula helenium
(common name) ~ (Latin name)
This herb is in the same family as the Sunflower, a gorgeous yellow petal yet a thinner finer structure. Most popular in cough syrups as an expectorant & anti-tussive. Making your own cough syrup is truly an awarding experience. Combining a few specifically chosen herbs together & simmering them on the stove as if you were creating a soup for your loved ones, as the area fills with the aromas from the herbs that were found out in nature to assist our bodies in eliminating dis-ease. The ingredient called Love that is the most essential energy is at it's finest when you are a part of the creation.
The rhizome/root is the part of the plant that is used. The best time to harvest would be early fall after it stops it's flowering process. The strongest energy then goes into the root system getting ready to produce more of it's self come spring. Therefore you have the strongest medicinal constituents in the root during this time.
Elecampagne has been used for asthma, bronchitis, tuberculosis, & also helps the digestion in the stomach.
A cordial could also be made with elecampagne along with some other complimentary herbs for a sipping soothing experience.

As the rain showers down this Memorial Day weekend on Cape Cod Massachusetts & the blanket of clouds are so thick that we were not able to get a glimpse of the full moon I would like to introduce you to a New Herbal Formula which will be of great assistance as a Herbal Supplement in your health care prevention & treatment. A 'Daily Drop of Sunshine', has hit the market & is ready to find it's way to you if you so desire. It's a tincture of Turmeric, Nettles, Horsetail, Tulsi & Love. You can read about Turmeric below, Nettle & Horsetail are high in vitamins & minerals as well as silica which is great for your hair, skin & nails, & Tulsi is a great stress reliever that we have talked about in another newsletter. Love is all encompassing & harmonizing the herbs in working together. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/herbal-products.html
Herb of the Month ~
Turmeric ~ Curcuma longa
Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant & anti-inflammatory!
It's well known & used in India in cooking (eat your medicine) & as an herbal supplement. It consists of various forms of curcumin, 1-alpha curcumene, 1-beta-curcumene, camphene & camphor. Believed to inhibit tumor growth at each stage of the cancer process, protects against heart disease, treatment for respiratory conditions, muscle injuries, arthritis & stimulates the flow of bile assisting in cleansing the system.
Turmeric is an awesome dye of a rich golden glow, be careful of dying items you may not want dyed.
The root of this plant or rhizome is the part used, & you may notice that it is much like the ginger root in which they are a part of the same family.
This herb would be great to add to salad dressings.
It was valued as gold for it's preservation capabilities & played a large role in survival & sustainability. The natives of India highly valued turmeric not only for preservation but also for it's energetic & spiritual qualities. A community of people called the Arya culture, worshiped the solar system & the sun as a deity & held turmeric as very Sacred due to the golden yellow color (sunlight) & believed turmeric to have special protective properties. They would wear (& some still do) a dried rhizome around their neck or arm to ward off evil & grant protection & healing. People of Ancient India believed that turmeric contained the energy of the Divine Mother, granting prosperity, cleansing the chakras (energy centers of the body http://www.thymeforwellness.com/chakras--the-3-selfs.html ), & purify the channels of the subtle body. Turmeric is still used in Sacred Ceremonies today in India. It is made into a paste, applied to the forehead (third eye) during pujas & weddings, along with numerous other uses.
In Ayurveda (the 5,000 yr old natural healing system of India), turmeric is believed to balance the 3 doshas as well as an extensive list of healing practices for so many dis-eases. This newsletter could get very long if I listed them all. Turmeric has hundreds of molecular constituents ~ some prominent ones are ~ 20 molecules that are anti-biotic, 14 that are known cancer preventatives, 12 that are anti-tumor, 12 are anti-inflammatory, & at least 10 different anti-oxidants. The possibilities of this root is endless & to be taken seriously.
"Curcumin's antioxidant properties will protect your DNA from the ravages of the virus. It's also antimicrobial, so it will help prevent the many opportunistic illnesses associated with HIV and AIDS," says Dr. Susan Kowalsky, N.D. (Norwich, VT)
This truly is a powerful plant & the ancient people of India have known so all along.
So get your 'Daily Drop of Sunshine' http://www.thymeforwellness.com/herbal-products.html
"Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used for 4,000 years to treat a variety of conditions. Studies show that turmeric may help fight infections and some cancers, reduce inflammation, and treat digestive problems.
There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer properties, but results are still very early. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers, including prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer. Its preventive effects may be because it is a strong antioxidant, protecting cells from damage."

May!
So many fun ways to celebrate this day/month!
Have you seen the violets growing & are you planting a Herbal Medicinal Garden?
If you want to grow one & seek education, I will be teaching online classes on suggestions of what to plant & how to use them when they are ready. Please let me know if you are interested in empowering yourself as to what time of day & which day of the week works best for you.
Thyme to put flowers in your salads, in your hair, on your neighbor's door handles & sing with the bees as they sip Magic K water too.
~ Herb of the Month ~
Senna ~ Senna alexandrinaThe best part to use of the Senna is the pods, the leaf can be used also.
Senna is used as a laxative & I have the awareness now that hospitals are now using it with no warning to patients as to how much of a powerful herb it really is. Please do not use this herb as a long term support, your body will end up relying on the herb & become lazy or forgetful as how to do the work on it's own. It is not to be used in the presence of acute inflammatory bowel disease, appendicitis or other serious abdominal or intestinal disease.
It does it's job well if the herb is fresh & taken in the right dosage. I've experienced it as just one dosage needed.
Senna is native to North Africa.
By taking probiotics, a 'Daily Drop of Sunshine', & exercising you can do a good job of preventing any need for a laxative, especially if you are drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of Kangen water.

April 2013
It's April, it's spring, it's new beginnings & old endings.
The plants are poking up their new green little shoots that are such a delight to see.
The trees are starting to put on their costumes again.
People around the world are coming together in unison & praying, sharing, & loving.
Magic is in the air!
If you would like to be a part of an online global group to participate in creating peace on earth, please do check out www.globalcarerooms.org/
'Thyme for Wellness' has also added another practitioner on board.
His name is Sam Smith & he is extremely talented in his 'Chair' expertise & available to do phone sessions. I've had the pleasure in experiencing his gentle magical way of guiding one in releasing experiences, that may have been felt as pain, sorrow or turmoil, into a calm sea with sand that sparkles like stars in the universe. I highly recommend a session with him, you will not regret it. Have a seat & enjoy the process.
Also we have added a Prayer Circle in which you can place anyone, animal, event into a confidential page & rest assured your prayers will be increased. Do check out our new look, new practitioner & new circle!
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/home--prayer-circle.html
Herb of the Month:
Chicory ~ Cichorium intybus
Are you looking for a coffee substitute? Well here you go! Added with Dandelion root to make a dandy of a combination. Chicory is considered a bitter, like dandelion & it's medicinal actions are similar too, as a laxative & as a diuretic. The root & leaves are used.
The flowers of the Chicory are a beautiful color of blue with a tinge of purple in it. They have been known to open up every morning at 7:00am & close again at noon. You can see them along roadsides, in yards (defined as a weed by some), in areas that are sandy & barren. Is able to grow in any soil.
The young leaves are best used in salads for the sweetest taste.
Called the 'liver's friend' in Ancient Egypt & Greece due to the 'good medicine' for the liver & gall-bladder. It can increase the appetite & promote digestion & absorption. Chicory helps eliminate toxins thru the kidneys by increasing excretion of uric acid. These issues show up mainly as rheumatism & gout. Aids in reducing blood sugar & retaining fluids.
The Chicory has also been named the flower of assimilation.
As a flower essence, in the Bach flower remedy, chicory is used for ones that are possessive, excessively interfering, manipulative & domineering. By being very demanding & requiring much support, needing a lot of attention, love, & sympathy. If they do not receive this they can go into self-pity & emotional blackmail or illness in order to get the attention their ego is sooo desiring. Underneath it all is one that is afraid of being alone, or losing friends, family, possessions. Somewhat over-concerned about what others 'owe' them. The essence of Chicory assists in one feeling more secure in themselves so they are more able to give unconditional love.
Making ones own flower essence I find to be a magical experience & gives witness to more awareness of the beauty around us.
Think about playing with the spring flowers in creative ways as well. Chicory could make great pressed flowers which can be created into bookmarks, etc.

March 2013
From the Red Rocks of Sedona I bid you hello & send you some great energy. Wonderful hiking here & a bit crisp in the air.
Might as well continue with the love color of red & talk about Cayenne this month. It's warming, spicy & you can feel it flow thru your body from top to bottom.
Herb of the Month ~
Cayenne ~ Capsicum annum
Known to be the most useful stimulus for the body system. It is great for the circulatory system & believe it or not great for digestion. It's a tool to strengthen the heart, arteries, capillaries & nerves as it regulates the blood flow.
Cayenne wards off colds, aids in warming the hands & feet. Another tool to keep your feet warm is sprinkle cayenne pepper in your shoes, boots, etc to have outside of your socks. You can mix it in with some cornstarch & make a heating powder.
I like adding it to soups to give it a little zing, & have you ever added a touch to your eggs? Mmm, a warm yummy taste just enough to get a little circulation flowing.
The word Capsicum is derived by Greek & means "to bite".
The perennial is a bush & originates from South America.
Have fun experimenting with this amazing herb & please do share with me any wonderful concoctions you may come up with.
Today I added it to macaroni & cheese along with an avocado, mmmm good!
Plants are alkaline & a great source of vitamins & minerals. Our bodies are designed to be 80% alkaline & 20% acidic. Using plants is a way to support your body in an alkaline state & also do strongly consider 75% of your body being water & all the documentation that is finally being released on Alkaline water. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/

"Nobody today can say that one does not know what the prime cause of cancer is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known,so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse for avoiding measures for prevention. That the prevention of cancer will come there is no doubt. But how long prevention will be avoided depends on how long the prophets of agnosticism will succeed in inhibiting the application of scientific knowledge in the cancer field. In the meantime, millions of men and women must die of cancer unnecessarily".~ Dr Otto Warburg

Are you drinking a minimum of 1/2 your body weight in ounces, of healthy water to maintain your body? http://www.loriwalsh.com/
Blessings of Love & Gratitude,
I hope this finds you all well!
I'm aware that maybe the majority of the population have been experiencing much
sickness. Do remember the plants & healthy water are here to assist you in bringing
balance back to your body. As well as EFT tapping which can work very nicely on
emotional issues that have manifested into a dis-ease in the body somewhere.
This Valentines Day I wish for you to be loving to yourself & do something special
for you. You have come so far in this world of learning so many lessons, experiencing so
much positive & negative times, that might you honor the person you are right now
& treat yourself like the beauty that you are as a reflection of the wondrous Divine Creator.
Herb of the Month:
Red Root ~ Ceanothus Americanus
This plant is, in my opinion, Amazing. Working with the lymphatic system
in the throat I have witnessed results through my daughter.
It's also known by the name New Jersey Tea. It's an astringent, anti-spasmodic,
expectorant, & sedative. Most often used with asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough,
tonsillitis, pharyngitis, mononucleosis & as a blood thinner.
Warning not to use if on a anti-coagulant medication.
Recognizing that the North American diet is heavily a fat based diet, Red Root may just
be a much sought after herb.
The root of the plant or rather tree is the part used & I recommend in an alcohol tincture form.
Remember you can always burn off the alcohol if so chosen.
This information makes no health claims & is not approved by the FDA.

New batch of Tulsi tincture & a combo of Nettles & Horsetail tincture ready for You!

Affirmation: I allow myself to be happy no matter what's going on around me, therefore maybe those
around me will decide to be happy too.
Peace beyond all understanding.

Blessings Be & Miracles Abound!
Lip balms, Lip gloss's, Prosperity Mist, High Vibes Spray (roses & cedar), Booty Balm,
Sore Muscle Oil, Lavender Body Butter, the list goes on of creations that come from
the earth herself. Amazing plants that grow upon her that nurture us in ways we may never know.
Just pure simple ingredients. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
I had many questions from people today at the Sage Inn in Provincetown while stopping to visit me at my herbal table.
A few times I was asked about the Sore Muscle & Joint Oil, whats in it & why does it work?
There are many nervine herbs in it that work at relaxing the body & dispelling the stress away.
Sweet Birch essential oil & Wintergreen essential oil work at penetrating into the muscle & loosening up the tight areas
that are holding in the stress so they may relax.
Wintergreen was a favorite flavor of mine & the highly aromatic small green growth of it that you can find in the woods
in many areas remain just that, green all winter. With a splash of crimson berries they can easily stand out amongst the forest floor.
Wintergreen ~ Gaultheria procumbens
The key constituent in Wintergreen is methyl salicylate. The same chemical that is the base in aspirin which explains why it works so well for reducing inflammation & joint pain as in sciatica & rheumatism. Do NOT use this essential oil directly on the skin or take internally, it is very strong & will likely irritate. The leaves can be made into tea or chewed on, I remember chewing on them many times upon finding them during a walk in the woods. The sweetness would last for a short time than the bitterness would come forward. Do you remember Teaberry gum?
For magical uses, Wintergreen would be placed under children's pillows to protect them & grant them good fortune.
Wintergreen is Native to North America mainly east of the Mississippi.
This information has not been approved by the FDA & makes no health claims.

Remember to use your herbs, Remember to drink the best water & all will be grace & ease for the rest of 2012! Remember to Breathe too! Much Love & Gratitude!

"When roots grow deep, it matters not how windy it gets." LCW www.ThymeForWellness.com
Thyme for Changes,
Ready or not, here we go.
One moment your laptop is working the next it's not.
One moment your electricity is on, the streets are dry, than the next
there not. One moment your loved ones are healthy, the next not.
Life brings up many opportunities that force you to seek help from others.
Speaking from first hand experience, the gift it gives as the provider of assistance is Huge.
I am still on standby wondering if I will be asked to serve in the areas that need assistance after 'disasters'
that in moments have changed sooo many life's.
Sometimes one receiving a smile from the heart is lifted beyond understanding, sometimes a hug from the heart
is better than any thing else at that moment. Sometimes a hot meal provided or a gallon of fuel or
a pair of rubber boots is the perfect medicine in the moment.
Ultimately, when changes bring up sooo many feelings of overwhelm & helplessness, diving inside of your own heart deep within
where the Divine Source of life itself awaits for you, where there is no separation, only Love for all & all for Love then
no matter what storm is brewing you find Love. We are all here to help each other feel & remember that Magical Love.
In the meantime, the plants of this beautiful, gorgeous planet called earth are here to help you as well.
This month I am featuring a few different herbs to assist with stress & the immune system ~
For your immune system we have Astragulas root, for the deep immune system, Echinacea root, do not take for longer than 10 days in a roll & it's not water soluble so you will not get any medicinal benefits from the tea of it. Olive leaf to assist your immune system to get back to balance, to name a few. Remember dried herbs lose their medicinal constituents after 1 year provided they are kept in a dark, cool, air tight environment. I prefer tinctures mostly, due to this.
A tincture will last for years in a alcohol base. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
Herbs for stress is also a definite to take due to the majority of the cause of the break down of the immune system is due to stress in one form or another. Skullcap is a great overall nervine & can assist in sleep, Kava Kava root is great for anxiety, Valerian root is great for major stress like when you are ready to throw someone or thing out the window. There are many herbs for stress & the immune system. Please do call me with any questions or for a consultation. We can even do a consultation thru Skype.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/herbal--eft-consult.html
& please do check into the Miracle of Water http://www.thymeforwellness.com/index.html for you & your loved ones.
It is the way to quickly change the health crisis in the U.S.A to a preventative health CARE system.

Blessings of Grace & Ease ~
The harvest moon is shining brightly in the sky tonight as I write this newsletter.
I've decided to share with you the keynotes of information that I shared a year ago at a talk I did at the Chat House in Dennis, MA.
The talk had a personal story in which I will also share with you.
It was titled 'Witchcraft or Herbalism'.
I recall feeling left out & unliked growing up numerous times. Never felt like I really fit in. I didn't like how people could treat each other so cruel. I never understood why so many people didn't understand that we are just supposed to love each other. When I became an Herbalist, I as well as my peers, felt like we had been “burnt at the stake” before & that it could possibly happen again. I felt very judged & didn't always share my knowledge because of feeling like I would be cast out & looked upon as a 'witch'. What is a witch anyways?
I'll tell you a story about my daughter, it was just a few days before New Year's Eve in which she was looking forward to the party she planned on going to with her friends. All of a sudden the side of her neck swelled up, big, we brought her to the pediatrician to find out what was going on. The pediatrician said it was a virus in her lymphatic system, not a bacterial but a viral form. Even still she wanted to hospitalized her & intravenously hook her up to anti-biotics. 1st of all anti-biotics do nothing for a viral form & Steph was allergic to both sulfur & penicillin already, there wasn't much of anything left for her to take in case of a real emergency when she would need them for a bacteria infection. I told the doctor that I was going to treat her herbally & see what I could do. She didn't want me to yet I left her no choice. Thru compresses & tinctures using herbs for lymphatic conditions the swelling reduced tremendously overnight & continued to do so within the next 24-48 hours. Mind you the doctor never even called to see if she was ok. Steph ended up able to go to the party & her throat was back to normal.
Herbs are nature's medicine that one can incorporate into their food.
Used in the Monastery's for the treatment of suffering & prevention of various ailments. The monks & nuns would almost exclusively use healing herbs.
The Native Americans in all country's still use mostly herbal remedies for all their medicine.
Here is a list of some Herbs used: Hops, Tansy, Mugwort, Lemon balm, Mint, Lavender, Slippery Elm, Calendula, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Rose, Marjoram, Basil, Chamomile, Fennel, Hyssop, Anise, Rue
As the plants work together, side by side, allow them to be your teacher.
The ragweed & goldenrod naturally grow next to each other, 2 complete opposites that balance each other's energies. Same goes for poison ivy & jewel weed.
I encourage you to find the common ground with each other as in the land we stand on, borderless, all the same surface with much diversity, yet unconditionally accepts & loves all surrounding. The trees, plants, rocks, insects, animals, sea creatures, ocean.
Just the simple act of blending spices & herbs together finding who complements each other to bring out amazing flavors the blend so wonderfully. Always new adventures, who knew that extreme opposites would blend so completely tantilizing the tastebuds while the ones that blend similiarly together can be such a comfort food for your soul.
Adventure or Comfort?
Cinnamon blending with Cardamon, Oregano with Thyme
Star Anise, Clove, Cinnamon, Sichuan Pepper & Fennel all blended together, known as 5 spice powder, black pepper & fruit
As the world is shifting & the Mayan calender is coming to an end which then the next one starts called Unity Consciousness it's time for us to start coming back to center again. Forgiving all that has not served us & starting anew way of connecting with each other & ourselves.
What does your Spirit desire?
Answer quickly for those are the answers of the heart before the mind kicks in....
Pointing the finger or looking at the ones that are pointing back at you.
What do you see, the difference in you & me?
How can I see this differently?
How can I see peace instead?
What else is possible?

September 2012
Blessings of Wonderful September days to You!
As the harvest continues and the Blue Moon wanes, remember to save some seeds for next
years crop. Even if they weren't from your garden, local produce
& herbs make the best seed for the area you live in to produce a hardy plant.
By the way, 2.5ph water sprayed on a diseased & almost dead rose bush has been
restored & revitalized when all else has been tried to no avail, by a friend of mine. New growth
& a vibrant plant has been the experience from some rose bushes in Truro, MA!
Also, A new edition has been added to the "home" page of www.ThymeForWellness.com
Please feel most welcome to visit the dolphin video every morning to get your dose of
Sweet Harmony.
New videos of Kangen water has been added to site as well.
They are worth your time & you deserve to know the extraordinary benefits as well as
to own your own machine.
Herb of the Month ~
Fennel ~ Foeniculum vulgare
Got colic? Got flatulence? Got phlegm? Get fennel! It could be sitting right in your
own kitchen/medicine cabinet. Safe for babies, Strong enough for a man!
The fennel fruit is used rather called the seed. A very aromatic herb which is reminding me
of Swedish Limpa Bread, a rye bread with fennel or anise seed in it. Yum!
Can smell it rising & baking now...what a comfort food memory. Might just make some
this Labor day weekend while I have both of my 'kids' blessing me with their presence.
It's amazing the power & health benefits that just the aroma of something can be.
For nursing mothers, fennel has been very beneficial in increasing milk secretion.
It also promotes menstruation so please avoid while pregnant.
Ground fennel can be sprinkled on top of soup that is done cooking for an added benefit.
Fennel tea is the method I would most likely use for the imbalances listed above.
About 1 tsp of the fruit (seed) per cup of Kangen water of course.
The little yellow delicate flowers of the fennel are as sunny as this summer day Sept 1,
2012. I hope you are all enjoying it.

Blessings of August melodies singing in the trees...
"Actions Speak Louder than Words", how often have you heard that?
I must admit, it is one of my favorite sayings. In other words, walk your talk.
Most of us all can say things with full intention of carrying through & then we

Herb of the Month
Tulsi (Holy Basil) ~ Ocimum tenuiflorum
This herb is an Ayurvedic herb & is valued as being Very Sacred in India.
It's an adaptogen which means it helps to restore balance in the body, adapt to stress &
restore bodily functions.
It's planted as a religious plant at their homes & used in rituals & meditation along with being
used as a medicine.
I love this herb and combine it with nettles & horsetail as a daily tonic. Of course made
with 9.5ph Kangen water. www.kangendemo.com The leaves of Holy Basil is the part used.
Can also be incorporated into your food, hence eating for health.
It is good for heart disease, inflammation, colds, headaches, skin conditions, anti-aging,
stomach aches, flu, diabetes, malaria, radiation poisoning, mercury poisoning, cancer,
arthritis, liver support, chronic fatigue, the list goes on....
Nutritionally consists of vitamin A & C, calcium, iron, zinc & chlorophyll.
Holy Basil also has been called the "Queen of Herbs", "The Elixir of Life" & "Mother Medicine of Nature".

around 600 BC. It is also mentioned in the Rigveda, (The book of eternal knowledge) written around
5000 BC.

"Actions Speak Louder than Words", how often have you heard that?
I must admit, it is one of my favorite sayings. In other words, walk your talk.
Most of us all can say things with full intention of carrying through & then we
can find ourselves not. What stops the process? In all actuality we end up lying
to ourselves & those we share with or are counting on us. A domino affect that can
be detrimental. Self sabotaging! Is it a fear that is disguised somehow that prevents

Did you know that mineral oil clogs your pores & is one of the worst
ingredients you can put on your skin? Please check the ingredients of the products
that you use. Especially those baby & child products!
Herb of the Month:
Corn Silk ~ Zea mays
Now, did you ever know that the Corn Silk that is peeled away & discarded when preparing
Corn on the Cob is actually a source of helping your body heal itself?
I personally would only use organically grown corn or corn that you know wasn't grown
with pesticides or gmo's.
It acts as a diuretic, demulcent, tonic & anti-lithic. A great mild sweet tasting tea used during
pregnancy as a uterine tonic. Gentle enough for children to drink as a tea which could be a
great summertime activity during cookouts.
Corn Silk is used to treat bacterial infection by activating white blood cells, volatile oils
neutralize fungi & yeast. It encourages retention of sodium and excretion of potassium.
This herb strengthens the bladder & uterus and also acts as a kidney & liver tonic.
The word "Zea" means 'to live' in Greek & the word "mays", means 'mother or mother of
life' in Spanish. Cheers to the silk of Mother Earth.
About 2 tsp fresh Corn Silk to a cup of water. Make it 9.5 Kangen water & there is no
need to heat it, providing a very cell ready cup of cool refreshing Corn Silk Tea.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/electric-hexagonal-water.html
Do NOT use Corn Silk if you take Lasix.
No health claims are being made & this information has not been approved by the FDA.

Beloved June ~
Where to start….what an extraordinary time to be alive! It’s almost half way through 2012,
the energies that are shifting this gorgeous planet we inhabit are incredible, assisting us in
removing all of who we are not & coming to the truth of who we really are. I see peace, calm
& kindness radiating through the world clearing away everything that isn’t of a loving nature.
The tools that I work with, I’m happy to share with you to help remove any pain, resistance,
anything that is of not love and holding you back from seeing the real you in the mirror. The joy,
goodness, innocent child, fabulous human being that you are. As the petals & nuts fall from the trees in
their abundance know whenever you may fall, the joy & laughter that brings you back to your feet
& heart is just a smile or phone call away.
Horsechestnut ~ Aesculus hippocastanum
I have been admiring the blooming Horsechestnut tree flowers these last couple of weeks along
the roadway I walk with Mary, the woman I spend a few hours with most days. They produce
amazing pyramid like shapes colored in a palette of white & pink. The Horsechestnut tree has
specific uses, such as being helpful in toning & strengthening the vessels of the circulatory system.
Varicose veins being one of them & hemorrhoids. The fruit, when ripened & falling off the tree, is the
part used, taking note that applied externally it can be very useful & eliminate any cause of concern
for using the fruit while still in a somewhat toxic state if not properly extracted.
A native of India, it can be found all over North America & Europe. The tree is used in Turkey on
horses & all over the smaller branches are horseshoe shaped scars where the leaves fell off.
Possibly that is where the name was derived from.
The flower essence is for those that make the same mistakes over & over again.In not observing or
paying attention to the physical ailments, conditions or emotional reactions that keep occurring,
possibly wishing to escape from themselves or block out the learning lessons of life, Chestnut bud
would be a good essence to take to assist in becoming more present & able to observe what their
body is trying to tell them. Therefore gaining the knowledge & wisdom to be able to see themselves
clearly.
The smells of the arrival of June & the birds singing to their heart’s delight are such a joy to be noticed
& grateful for. Trees keep growing & standing their ground for all to witness & enjoy.
Come visit the store: http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
In honor of the trees I would like to offer a new group session called “Stand Your Ground”. An EFT group
session for all those that choose to regain & retain your power, whether it be from physical or emotional
pain that has caused you to hold back & settle for powerlessness. $7.00 per person for each weekly
group session by way of an online meeting space. Details to follow or contact me for more information.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
A simple tool for experiencing inner peace & bliss:
Think of something or someone, such as an animal, something in nature or person that brings a smile
to your face & joy in your heart. Feel & hold that feeling as you the for 3-5 minutes. Only paying
attention to that joyful loving feeling & letting any other thought just pass through.

May 2012
Happy May!
Being mostly Swedish, May Day comes in mind with the desire to be sipping tea and dancing around a May Pole with other same spirited beings, bringing a smile to my face & a desire in my heart. Having been camping in the woods the last couple of weekends amongst the sweet violets, what joy that would be to make eatable violet crowns to wear while dancing & have them floating in the punch & brightening up the salad, etc. The earth is so good to us providing us with so much delicious wonders & fun to be had by all. How about some chamomile tea cakes to go with some nettle tea?
Herb of the Month:
Sweet Violet ~ Viola adorata
Who would think such a delicate little flower would be eatable, never mind have medicinal properties or rather how sweet the shy violet gives of herself with so much beauty & color with amazing constituents such as saponins, menthyl salicylate, alkaloids, & flavornoids. With these constituents creates expectorant, alterative, anti-inflammatory, diurectic & anti-neoplastic (inhibiting the maturation and proliferation of malignant cells) actions within the body to help the body heal thyself. Add Kangen water & wham o! How does it get any better than that? Add getting exercise while harvesting & hiking into the woods while being in nature & allowing the mind to calm bringing ease & grace to allow for wellbeing. Personally, harvesting violets are much like harvesting blueberries & strawberries, I tend to eat most of the harvest right on the spot. Remember to thank the plant for it's life with love & gratitude. Yes, Sweet Violet has a reputation as an anti-cancer herb, upper respiratory issues such as bronchitis, a long term approach to rheumatism, relieves some headaches & externally in some skin conditions. It's medicine has been valued since the Ancient Greeks. Hippocrates recommended them for headaches, hangovers, bad eyesight, melancholia, excess of bile & chest inflammation.
The violet is well known in a couple of Greek myths. One states the nymph Ianthis was chased by the amorous Apollo. The frightened virgin fled to the woods & sought protection from Diana, who advised her to hide away where Apollo could not find her. Diana changed the nymph into the violet so that she could escape Apollo's importunities. The other myth states that violets were created for Io, beloved of Zeus, to honour her beauty. Io's name remains in the word for the flower & in Greek io means violet.
The violet is known as the flower of shyness. The flower essence is profound for shyness. For people who long to join in group activities but feel too nervous or timid. I can so relate as a young child & I still observe myself with this tendency every now & then. Having a tendency to retreat like the violet beneath its leaves.
If you choose to harvest these delectables, the flower & the leaves are the parts used, not the root.
The cooler & rainy spring days are when we tend to dust, vacuum, sweep & clean our spaces. We also need to clean the energy around us from any negative waves that may enter our space.
I have created “Cleansing Mist” with the help of my Angel friends. All you need to do is mist your home, business, car or space around you & negative energy be gone! For an added boost we've created a High Vibrational Mist consisting of Rosa damascena & Cedar to raise the frequencies empowering your space. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html

Blessings of Patience ~
Ha! Sometimes patience seems too much to wait for. Spring shows her face & disappears again,
life puts up obstacles to either go around, jump over, find another way, curl up in a fetal
position & go back to bed, call in all Angels for help, gain more knowledge, allow Spirit to
guide the way....many choices we have in life even though we can experience feeling like we
have no choice at all. Be a Wayshower & stand your ground while patiently loving it all, most
of all loving you. Even through, what looks & feels like chaos, Divine miracles happen.
A favorite quote: "Keep in mind your purpose. You will receive in direct proportions to your
clarity of vision, your definiteness of purpose, the steadiness of your faith, & the depth of your
gratitude." J-R
Herb of the Month:
Horseradish ~ Arrmoracia rusticana
I have been witnessing some that are having allergy issues at this time. Horseradish is a divine
plant that aids in that drip in the back of the throat. A great stimulant plant & full of flavor.
It's been used as medicine since the Middle Ages as far as we know.
The root acts as a stimulant, carminative, rubefacient, mild laxative, diuretic & hepatic,
meaning it can be used for influenza, fevers, digestion, urinary infections & externally as a
poultice in bronchitis.
A fairly easy herb to incorporate into your diet. One of the best mashed potatoes I've eaten were
made by my son the Chef in which he added horseradish to them as well as other secret
ingredients. The potatoes eased the powerful bite from the fresh horehound & they
complimented each other very nicely.
If you choose to grow horseradish in your garden it loves a rich manure soil. Watering with a
5.5ph - 7ph is ideal.
According to Dr Christopher, horseradish is recommended for sinus infections. Start with a
1/4 tsp. of freshly grated root & hold it in your mouth until all the taste is gone. It will
immediately start cutting the mucus loose from the sinuses to drain down the throat. This will
help relieve the pressure in your sinuses & help clear the infection.
Horseradish is best used raw, you can grate & mix with apple cider vinegar to preserve,
cooking takes away both medicinal effect & it's flavor.
As you start working in the yard & garden again, please consider using Medicinal Salve for
those cuts & scrapes. Magic in a jar. www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
Enjoy the colors of the earth coming to life again & call on me if you would like some guidance
on how to 'tap' (EFT) the impatience away.

Please do check out the video 'Government Explained' below.
As you may or may not know, the United States Government is diligently trying
to control the herbs that our Earth gives to us freely. Thyme to stand our ground on/for our planet
in many ways! I will be creating a new page on the website with many new technologies that are now
made available to us as we create a new, healthy world to live in.

have no choice at all. Be a Wayshower & stand your ground while patiently loving it all, most
of all loving you. Even through, what looks & feels like chaos, Divine miracles happen.
A favorite quote: "Keep in mind your purpose. You will receive in direct proportions to your

gratitude." J-R
Herb of the Month:
Horseradish ~ Arrmoracia rusticana
I have been witnessing some that are having allergy issues at this time. Horseradish is a divine
plant that aids in that drip in the back of the throat. A great stimulant plant & full of flavor.
It's been used as medicine since the Middle Ages as far as we know.
The root acts as a stimulant, carminative, rubefacient, mild laxative, diuretic & hepatic,
meaning it can be used for influenza, fevers, digestion, urinary infections & externally as a
poultice in bronchitis.
A fairly easy herb to incorporate into your diet. One of the best mashed potatoes I've eaten were
made by my son the Chef in which he added horseradish to them as well as other secret
ingredients. The potatoes eased the powerful bite from the fresh horehound & they
complimented each other very nicely.
If you choose to grow horseradish in your garden it loves a rich manure soil. Watering with a
5.5ph - 7ph is ideal.
According to Dr Christopher, horseradish is recommended for sinus infections. Start with a
1/4 tsp. of freshly grated root & hold it in your mouth until all the taste is gone. It will
immediately start cutting the mucus loose from the sinuses to drain down the throat. This will
help relieve the pressure in your sinuses & help clear the infection.
Horseradish is best used raw, you can grate & mix with apple cider vinegar to preserve,
cooking takes away both medicinal effect & it's flavor.
As you start working in the yard & garden again, please consider using Medicinal Salve for
those cuts & scrapes. Magic in a jar. www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
Enjoy the colors of the earth coming to life again & call on me if you would like some guidance
on how to 'tap' (EFT) the impatience away.

Blessings of Joy & Childlike Wonder
As the March winds blow & the luck of the Irish prevails, we enter into Spring. Watching the
plants emerge out of the ground once again as the earth awakens to her new colors here in
Massachusetts. I love this time of year, watching all the new activity & getting my hands
dirty in gardens again. What will you be planting in your garden or community garden or just
looking forward in seeing in others' gardens?
Herb of the Month:
Pennyroyal ~ Mentha pulegium
As the temperature rises & life starts buzzing outside again, I'm sure the insects that like to
swarm around us will be appearing as well. Pennyroyal, an herb from the mint family, is a good
one to try out as a repellent Simply by rubbing the leaves of the plant, getting at the oils &
rubbing upon your skin, it has been very successful in repelling the gnats, ticks & mosquitoes.
Pennyroyal is a carminitive, diaphoretic, stimulant, emmenagogue & aromatic I believe it's
best known to help stimulate the menstrual process. Pregnant woman do need to stand clear of
this herb. Sometimes it is used as a carminitive for digestive issues as well.
Pennyroyal you will find to be one of the most aromatic mint plants. It makes a great floor
cleaner! If you put a few drops in your 11.5 ph water & use a mop to wash your floors, you will
create a insect repellent floor as well as a deeply clean floor. Can be used on vinyl or wood.
If you have animals that are pregnant I would advise not to follow along with this procedure
until pups, kittens, etc. are born.
Please do include some of the mint family in your garden this year. They have much to offer.
I have found much success in using the essential oil of the pennyroyal plant combined with
extra virgin olive oil applied to my abdomen to be very comforting in eliminating cramps.
Please stay far away from this plant if you are pregnant!

As we celebrate the Love for each other this month, may it continue forever & ever
What is your favorite color?
Is it blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, red, brown, white, black, etc.?
Do you wear the color? Do you decorate your home with your favorite color? Do you give your
favorite color to others as gifts? Do you seek out what others favorite colors are & are you
reminded of them when you see their color? Do you have more than just one favorite color?
Have you discovered what benefits different colors may have in emotions, health & mentality?
Do you find some colors bring you joy while others may bring you a sense of calm?
The incredible color palette that we have surrounding us, do we stop & really appreciate it? I would
love to know your favorite color & if there is a special reason for it to be. Please do share with me.
Herb of the Month:
Cayenne Pepper ~ Capsicum annuum
Speaking of color, cayenne is a wonderful bright vibrant red/orange color displaying the fire
that the herb is known for. Cayenne is an amazing herb. Yes, it spices up your food which
makes it easy to add into your diet, being mindful of the strength in hotness that it has, while
supplying vitamin C, A, iron, potassium & niacin. Just by adding a pinch can make a big
difference.
It's a great circulatory herb, helping to eliminate disturbances in the body. Cayenne actually
aids in restoring the digestive system. Juliette de Bairacli Levy, a Master Herbalist whom
specializes in children & animals, calls cayenne "a supreme and harmless internal
disinfectant".
A daily dosage of organic apple cider vinegar, honey & cayenne pepper every morning was &
still is taken by many, warding disease away. It's a great pick me up way to get your day
going! If you feel a cold/flu coming on I recommend immediately taking a dose of cayenne in
warm kangen water, swallowing some fresh garlic & a tincture dosage of echinacea for a couple
of days.
You can even sprinkle cayenne pepper in your shoes/boots to help keep your feet warm. It is a key
ingredient in my Foot Moisturizing Cream.
As Valentine's day approaches consider adding Cayenne pepper to your menu for your loved
ones &/or yourself, adding a splash of color & warmth as a reminder of the feeling of loving
warmth naturally within your heart.
Thyme for Wellness is in the process of developing a new fun product which includes cayenne
pepper as a main ingredient. Stay tuned http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html

I give you my Love this 2012 ~
There has been so many predictions for this year & what rings truth to me is it's thyme to drop
all weapons of destruction & truly love one another as well as yourself. Thyme to help each
other & stop judging one another. Thyme to share, smile at one another, look in each other's
eyes & really connect. Feel the joy & peace that is all around us & within, just waiting for us
to discover. As "truths" become known & you may experience intense emotions, know that
LOVE is the ultimate Truth. Thyme to create anew & know you are just as important as
everyone else on this planet. Be happy, be free & enjoy your life. Our life's are to be enjoyed & be
open to all possibilities. Whatever you focus on will manifest & be mindful of your self talk.
Be nice to yourself & choose love.
Herb of the Month:
Ganoderma tsugae
This month I've decided to feature a mushroom.
Some mushrooms have incredible medicinal properties within them. This mushroom being one
of them. It grows on conifers mainly, hemlock seems to be it's favorite. It's part of the reishi
family which in Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest medicinal mushroom used within
a 2,000 year history & works as a tumor inhibition. Found to be especially helpful in lung &
breast cancer. It's also been traditionally used as a anti-inflamatory, in auto-immune disease
& asthma.
This mushroom is not a good cooking mushroom, I make a tincture from it. It also appears to
be an immunomodulatory, which helps adjust the immune system up or down, therefore good
in autoimmune disease.
Abundant in antioxidants & found to be stronger than vitamin E.
One of the special finds in the forest as I walk or hike amongst the trees. They grow right on
the surface of the tree planting their spores into the bark. I always ask permission from the
mushroom before I harvest one, if it comes off easily than I know my request is warranted. If it
holds on tightly I honor it & try another.
If you would like a tincture of this incredible mushroom, please get in touch with me, I have
many specialty products that are not on my site. Please do inquire.

December 2011
Blessings ~
At the beach on this November day, I'm thinking about which herb to feature for December's newsletter. I take a short walk, barefoot in the cool soft sand, towards the ocean & look up. There shining through the clouds is a 'sun dog' (a short rainbow streak). God is 'watching' & everything is ok, just stay in the Now moment was the Light of many colors message to me which I pass on to you. When I arrived back to my car I attempted to capture it with my digital camera, the most brilliant moment had passed, I attach what the camera lens picked up.
Herb of the Month:
Juniper ~ Juniperus communis
Deck the house with a spark of juniper blue berries, attached to their green, almost lichen like needles, cradling them. What beautiful colors the branch wears! How lucky are we to be able to see & marvel their beauty? What else is out there waiting for us to just see?
Juniper berries extract is sometimes called gin. Due to the action on the kidneys, juniper berries should be Avoided in kidney disease issues as well as in pregnancy. Their actions are a diuretic, anti-rheumatic, anti-micobial, emmanagogue & stimulant. Aids digestion & eases flatulence. They are used in rheumatism & arthritis, which I've heard of people having great results. Soaking golden raisins in gin overnight & eating them the next day, maybe a tablespoon full.
Juniper berries are used in culinary dishes by Chefs, mainly in summer & autumn dishes. A refreshing bitter that blends well with many game dishes, Scandinavian, Mediterranean & German cuisine to name a few.
You can crush the berries & steep in water (I advise using Kangen water) to make a bladder tea, helping to clear infections.
Juniper oil is used as a holistic practice warding off fleas from your pets. You can find it on my products for pets page. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/herbal-dog-cat-rabbit--horse-care.html
Juniper has been used throughout Europe & many locations for centuries as protection by having it planted near the door or sprigs hung at the door.
If you go to harvest the berries, choose the blue ones, the green ones are still in their growing cycle & can take 2-3 yrs to mature.
No health claims are being made & this information has not been approved by the FDA.
I wish you all much Joy & Peace this holiday season!

As the winter arrives extremely early & the winds of change are prominent, I look towards the trees for solace & company. What majestic arts of life they are, with their roots firmly planted,
always connected with Mother Earth while they reach for the stars above. A true bridge to embrace & give thanks for.
If you just open your heart & drink ~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXDMoiEkyuQ&feature=shareo
Herb of the Month:
White Pine ~ Pinus strobus
As the storms appear with power outages, flooding, etc happening, I am truly grateful for the ability to know how to take care of myself & those around me. In gaining the knowledge of survival techniques as our ancestors lived not that long ago, the wisdom of knowing the plants & trees around me can be life saving. The White Pine is one of these gifts. The Native Tribal Nation of
the Iroquois's honor the white pine, considered the "White Roots of Peace". A very sacred tree, they symbolically buried their weapons of war beneath a magnificent white pine.
High in vitamin C, the bundle of 5 long green needles can be made into a tea or just chewed on like gum. A bitter but tasty herb & dentifrice. Add a little maple syrup to the tea & you have a
delicious healthy warm beverage on a cold winter's day. What's so fantastic about this tree is it's probably right outside your door of very close proximity to you, having her healing gifts at your
finger tips. The inner bark is an expectorant & a stimulant, helping to aid in respiratory congestion.
It's antiseptic properties in the resin was applied to wounds as a ointment.
So as you walk amongst the trees, which I hope you take time to do, recognize the amazing gifts they bring, shelter, food, medicine. How grateful we shall be, the beauty of the trees.
I love working with the herbs, plants & trees. Feeling the love that they so freely give to us & passing it forward to you all within the products that you find on my website.

October 2011?? for real? Blessings to all ~
Wow, this month flew by! It's been a month of all kinds of experiences. The solar flares that are exploding off the sun most recently are amazing! Check out spaceweather.com if you are interested in what is happening. A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the Sun which appears to be a very bright spot and a gaseous surface eruption. Solar flares release huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot. They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun.

Herb of the Month:
Golden Rod ~ Solidago virgauria
I've chosen this herb for this month due to watching it flower all over where my travels have taken me. Even through the floods in NY this bright golden light can be seen persevering & blooming
it's elegant glowing blossoms. Usually found growing next to the ragweed along the road sides & meadows, this herb maybe the remedy for those that have an allergic reaction to ragweed.
Golden Rod is a native herb in Europe, of the Asteraceae family. It's properties are anti-catarrhal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, diaphoretic, carminative, diuretic & alterative. A great herb for
upper respiratory catarrh especially when there is an excessive mucous & postnasal drip. Use as a infusion(tea) or as a tincture. Extracting the herb in 9.5ph kangen allows the herb to work in the body at the cellular level while hydrating. When in combination with other herbs it can also promote health from influenza. Golden rod contains bioflavonoids which strengthens the veins so it is a helpful
healer of varicose veins & weak capillaries. It can be used as a gargle for laryngitis & pharyngitis. Golden rod is also a wound healer, used for bronchial disease & as a carminative for colic.
It is recorded that in 1788, a 10 year old boy took the infusion for several months & passed lots of gravel, fifteen stones weighing up to 1 1/4 oz. & fifty pea size stones. Wow!
Gather the plants from the ground level at flowering time but from the plants that aren't yet blooming. Dry hanging upside down in the shade.
The leaves & flowers produce a yellow dye.
The flower essence of golden rod is used for those who do not know their true identity & are easily influenced by others. It helps the person stay true to themselves & not be a follower of others.

The Silent Witness
Go to a quiet place where you are not likely to be disturbed. Put on a tape or CD of your favorite soothing music. Close your eyes. As you do so, turn your attention to who is really listening. Begin
to notice two different facets of yourself. Your ears pick up the sound and your brain processes the notes, but that’s only the mechanics of hearing. Who connects the notes so that they form music? As you are you thinking about listening, who is doing the actual listening? Notice the silent witness, the silent listener who is always present. This presence exists not only in yourself, but also in the space around you. It is that part of you that is beyond the thoughts and feelings of the moment, the part that never tires and never sleeps. Nor can this part of you ever be destroyed. Recognize that this silent witness is always there. It is the part of you that can be glimpsed when the chatter of your thoughts is silenced by meditation. Can you feel this deeper current of consciousness within you?
Awareness of this silent witness is the beginning of awareness of this conscious intelligence field – the source of all the synchronicities in our lives.

Wow, this month flew by! It's been a month of all kinds of experiences. The solar flares that are exploding off the sun most recently are amazing! Check out spaceweather.com if you are interested in what is happening. A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the Sun which appears to be a very bright spot and a gaseous surface eruption. Solar flares release huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot. They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun. We are all experiencing affects from them, some more so than others. Thyme to take good care of yourself, rest when your tired, drink lot's of pure crystaline water & choose Love instead of fear.

September 2011
What will we create this September 2011?
Sometimes, it's not easy for us Herbalists to be who we are. It's a bucking of a system that came
to be which tried to wipe out all the natural ways, more than likely not
really on purpose but that's what happened. We were even hung for using the plants that were
given to us as food & medicine. Absurd isn't it? & sometimes still are,
our inner calling to be doing what we know to do is an outright gift from God & we are finally
finding the courage to jump back into our power & be who we truly are.
Humble servants honoring the energy, plants, & water that make our physical
beings walk upon this planet. Namaste.
Herb of the Month:
Hops ~ Humulus lupulus
The Romans believed that hops sucked the life out of whatever they climbed on because the vine
runs clockwise around trees or other supports clinging with little barbs. Lupulus meaning little
wolf was wrongly accused. The name humulus probably came from the need of humus in the soil.
The name hops came from the Anglo-Saxon, hoppan, meaning to climb.
In the first century, in Rome, the young shoots of the plants were sold at the market & eaten like
the asparagus. In the 14h century, hops were used as a flavoring in brewing beer throughout most
of Europe but the English breweries couldn't use hops because it was believed to cause
melancholy. They later did start to use hops as well. Small yellow grandulars on the fruit
contains bitter compounds which help to preserve beer, make it foamy & adds a bitter taste.
Now is about the time hops would be harvested, the cones (female flowers) before they are fully
ripe.
Hops is known as the flower of restful sleep. The dried flower has a sedative reaction & can be
used in pillows for sleeping. Hops calms the nervous system by relieving tension, anxiety &
stress related indigestion when used as a tea. As an astringent it can be used for mucous colitis.
Externally, in a cream it can be used as a antiseptic treatment of ulcers & cuts. As a diurectic, it
reduced fluid retention & hastens the elimination of toxins in the body. It has the reputation of
clearing skin problems such as excema & acne. Used as an aromatherapy treatment & infused in
a bath it's antispasmodic action reduces muscle tension in the body as well as induces sleep. Hops
has also been used by women to enhance their milk supply when breastfeeding & for painful
periods.
As a flower essence it is said to be a good remedy to ease the adolescence stage when their
sexual energy comes prevalent. It stimulates spiritual & physical growth.
Do not use hops if you are dealing with depression.

August 2011
Hello there,I would like to help welcome in August!
When I looked up the word I discovered an adjective for what we call this month.
It's Majestic, I would like to welcome you to feel majestic right now. Just feel
majestic!
Love Flows Through Everything~~~it's been over a year that my friend Jeannine
& I created a very powerful anti-viral herbal tincture, in which this is it's name.
Brings a smile to my face remembering our time together. Just playing with the
herbs, sharing thoughts & welcoming the elementals to play too. Whether you
believe in them or not, it's all good. It is the perfect time of year here in New
England for Herbalists to be busy harvesting herbs & making so many medicinal
items for our families, friends & all who are open to using these marvelous gifts from nature's divine bounty of rich blossoming magnificent array of morphology. If you look upon a field of flowers, weeds, whatever name you give them & see them dancing in the breeze & singing songs of praise with their heads raised high
soaking in the light & beaming it back to the central Source of all that is, know you are witnessing a divine aspect of yourself. A gift of God planted upon this amazing earth.
Herb of the Month:
Cleavers ~ Galium aparine
Cleavers are those delicate vinelike green slender leaves that are sticky like velcro.
It has little white flowers on it that bloom in the summer. Best harvesting this
plant & using it right away as a tea, foot bath, skin rinse or immediately make into
a tincture. The medicinal properties do not hold up after it's dried. The constituents
are glycoside asperuloside, gallotannic acid & citric acid. It's actions are a diuretic,
alterative, anti-inflammatory, tonic, astringent, anti-neoplastic, hepatic, laxative &
vulnerary. It's said to be the best tonic for the lymphatic system. Swollen glands in
the body, especially the tonsils & adenoids.
It has had significant results in clearing skin conditions. By using it with the water
from the Kangen machine it could help the body clear any in-balance that much
sooner. Also using it to make your teas with to help aid your body back to balance
& restore itself again back to it's original healthy state.
Cleaver's is a tincture I normally have on hand, I would be more than happy to
make some available if wanted.

inmost hearts, Their words are sweet and strong, like the fragrance of orchids.

July 2011
Blessings of July's fireworks & magic afoot!
Starting the month with another Solar eclipse, then firework displays that I'm sure will go on as usual.........not to mention some interesting crafts in the sky. We can all have faith in knowing we are not alone. Alone is an interesting word...Al-one, as in
'All One'. Total conflict in duality in the word itself...amazing the programming our minds have been under.
I want to share with you that I have proven to myself once again how powerful energy work is in taking care of yourself. I found myself being poisoned by peanut butter again (I have a peanut allergy that I swore years ago would kill me someday, I take that all back) & thru the process of EFT (tapping on meridian points) and calling on the Angels for help I was able to tap the poison affect right out of my being. I am so grateful & can't Thank God enough! Please give yourself the gift of learning this process & return power back to yourself & remember to Ask the
Angels & God for help, for they are Always there!!!
Oh, blessings of firefly's too, as we enjoy the summer evenings.
Please check out the Faith Hill youtube that you'll find towards the end of this newsletter.
Herb of the Month:
Sage ~ Salvia officinalis
Garden Sage is what I am mainly referring to when it comes to digesting it in any fashion. White Sage (Sacred) has many benefits & is extremely powerful. It is used in ceremonies, as a smudge & a mist to clear away negativity You can find the mist
in my website http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html at a very reasonable price.
The aroma of Garden Sage can bring on the memory of stuffing from a turkey dinner which can bring in memories of gatherings & harvesting. Sage has some awesome amazing quality's to it. Deodorizing, anti-microbial, sore throat as a gargle, astringent, gum strengthener, aids in balancing hormones during peri-menopause, used as a compress for sprains combined with vinegar & a blood purifier. I use it regularly in the 'Sage Thyme Creme' for a natural triple antibiotic & you'll find it in my 'Menopause tincture' formula.
Try combining sage with cheese or onions in different dishes for a delightful flavor, sparking interest to the taste buds.
For some folklore, In the Jura district of France, in Franche-Comte, the herb is supposed to mitigate grief, mental and bodily, and Pepys in his Diary says: 'Between Gosport and Southampton we observed a little churchyard where it was customary to sow all the graves with Sage.'
From Sage herself, be well & prosper, with love & gratitude

June 2011
Blessings of June's New moon & a Solar Eclipse & that's just for starters...
Much Heavenly Joy to all.
Life is so interesting I find. One moment I'm watching sea turtles laying eggs on
the beach & the next I'm packing up my stuff again experiencing transition once
more. Or are we always in transition? In some part of our being, spiritually,
emotionally, mentally, physically....I''m experiencing all four & choose to grow &
expand my consciousness through it all with much love for myself & all involved.
Faith & Trust I witness as I watch the large, gentle, peaceful sea turtle lay her
eggs. Such a blessing to behold ~ to come ashore in the darkness of the night, dig a
hole, be relaxed enough to lay her eggs, the strength enough to cover them up with
sand & the Trust enough to leave her babies in the hands of Creator & Faith to
know everything is Divinely in control. Much of this lesson is the art of Letting
Go, have the wits to know that our Creator is in control isn't always so easy....our
herbal allies are here to help us & I choose 'Letting Go' which is on my products
page, Kava kava being one of the supporting herbs on this journey while drinking
Kangen water allowing the body to absorb the herbs much more readily. Ive attached
a chart of some many uses of Kangen Water including some of the "Green" uses.
I have to add, meridian tapping (EFT) has been hugely helpful as well, releasing & bringing in
clarity & ease. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
Herb of the Month:
Kava Kava ~ Piper methysticum
What a hugely beneficial nervine Kava is, great for panic anxiety
& stress. The root of the plant is what is used. Kava tea ceremonies have been
going on for centuries especially on the Polynesian islands. Kava calms & relaxes
you which you may observe if traveling to the Pacific Islands. Natives enjoy their
kava beverages there, are happy & "hang loose" as they say in Hawaii Personally, I
love kava cappucinos with a sprinkle of cacao powder on top of the foam from the
steamed organic whole milk.
"Letting Go" also has lavender in it which blends together quite nicely...
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
I advise not to use it if pregnant & make no health claims.
* * * * * * * * * *
Dance as though EVERYONE is watching, Sing as though EVERYONE is
listening, Love as though you HAVE been hurt before. Do all these things and do
them well. Don't let ANYTHING stop you from expressing yourself. Do it with
LIFE, ENERGY AND FERVOR! Live life the way YOU want to live and not
by the constraints of others, which includes that silly feeling of embarrassment

them well. Don't let ANYTHING stop you from expressing yourself. Do it with
LIFE, ENERGY AND FERVOR! Live life the way YOU want to live and not
by the constraints of others, which includes that silly feeling of embarrassment

Happy May Day!
As we celebrate by dancing around the May Pole, celebrating Beltane or secretly
delivering a doorknob tussie of flowers & celebrate the web & flow of life. If we
look past all the external beauty & go to the core of the meaning, there we find the
inner beauty of our health & peace that is awaiting our awareness so we can know
& feel the true oneness & beauty of all that is & share from the core in celebration.
Water is the liquid that flows through us & all of the world in grace & ease, the
path of least resistance. I have decided to embrace Japan's technology of water in
the awareness of alkaline & acidic states of our planet & therefore us, embracing
Kangen water as a simple & powerful inner health insurance that supports the
absorption of the plants & nutrients within our bodies in order to receive all that is
here for us. Our water on this planet has been experiencing much disrespect &
directly affects us, remember the power of your thoughts & actions & consider to
choose blessing your body with water full of love & allow that to overflow to all of
creation. I would love to share this water with you. Here's some more information
for you to check out......... www.kangendemo.com This Enagic technology is very
green & replaces household cleaning products as well by using 11.5 ph water.
Be gentle with yourself, you were born by a miracle, please treat yourself that way.
Herb of the Month:
Damiana ~ Turnera diffusa var. aphrodiisiaca
This herb has the ancient reputation as an aphrodisiac.The Greeks know the plant
as "the goddess of love", the Mayas & Aztecs also used it as an aphrodisiac & a
general tonic. They would also smoke it to induce relaxation & induce 'visions'
used in ceremony burning. It's used in treating asthma, bronchitis & diabetes.
Damiania works very well with the central nervous system which makes it a great
nerve tonic & anti-depressant. It is also a urinary antiseptic & laxative.
Native to Mexico & used extensively there.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Damiana is a small bush with little yellow flowers that bloom in the summer &
has sweet smelling leaves. After blooming it produces small fig like tasting fruit.
I use it in 3 of my newer products that have formed 'out of the blue' ~

Changes
We can always know that change is inevitable. As we grow & expand into our heart through compassion, empathy, & love. Hearing the call for help from so many at this time, awakening us to the knowledge that we all need each other & love really is the only way to live a full life. Following our hearts, releasing all judgments & opening to all possibilities that one can create & miracles will occur as we join in prayer knowing that Love will find a way. Spring is here, renew, rebirth, revive & receive the gifts from nature as she puts her beautiful illuminating colors on & the dance continues for all mankind. My heartfelt love to
all those affected by the changes taking place all over the world right now.
Herb of the Month:
Blessed Thistle ~ Cnicus benedictus
Yes, it's true, some prickly thistles are great herbs for our wellbeing & just
awaiting for us to partake of their gifts. The Holy Thistle has a yellow flower that
starts to bloom in early summer. Culpeper said it's under the sign of Aries which
is why I chose to feature this herb now, seeing we are in this astrological birthday's
sign. A symbol of independence. This herb can certainly protect itself with it's
prickles. It enhances self respect & dignity along with the ability to trust your
own inner judgment & guidance. Teaching to recognize your inner strength.
It is well known as a bitter tonic cleansing the liver by increasing the flow of
gastric & bile secretions. It can be beneficial in appetite loss (anorexia) &
indigestion. Blessed thistle is also very useful for women for increasing milk
production in nursing mothers & can be helpful during menopause with heavy
bleeding. It's an antiseptic and vulnerary when used externally.
The fresh green leaves were eaten with bread & butter for breakfast, like
watercress.
In the dried aerial parts & seeds is where the plant stores it medicinal value.
Seek the advice of your doctor or herbalist before using herbs for your health care.
It's time to start thinking of planting an Herbal Medicinal Garden. I teach a
workshop on how to do this with lot's of added information on what to do with
those herbs you plant. Check out my website:
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/workshops.html
Here's an Electrolyte Re-hydration drink recipe for whenever someone's been
dehydrated by illness or injury: Add 1/8 tsp. each of baking soda & sea salt to 8
ounces of water. Drink up.

Blessings of Appreciation ~
I've been on tour in Florida since January & have met some more amazing people
& have seen some great sites. One of which was an Indian Burial Mound &
Temple site located in Crystal Springs, FL. It's listed as a State Archeology site.
A beautiful sacred spot that I recommend to visit if you find yourself in the area.
There is also a great Tea Bar in town that I loved. We sat on the side porch &
enjoyed a wonderful cup of Marsala Chai. I spoke to the owner there about the
desire I have in opening up a Tea Bar. I've had the desire for a couple of years now
& this is the first time I've come across a bar style versus a tea shop. My vision is
for it to be a community place to gather & share with each other. I would have at
least one night of local live music, etc.. I would love to hear your thoughts or
ideas....or location suggestions & if you have any desire to join me on this venture
please do let me know.
Herb of the Month:
Ginger ~ Zingiber officinale
The flower of paradise.
Great warming, circulatory herb! You can pick up the fresh root in most produce
departments. I do recommend the organic if you have a choice. If you live in a cold
winter climate it's a great herb to incorporate into your diet as much as possible. I
love crystallized ginger as a snack food. Ginger's properties consist of being a
stimulant, carminitive, rubefacient, diaphoretic, aromatic, emmenagogue &
sialogogue. Ginger is used in almost all Chinese & Japanese herbal remedies.
Ayurvedic (India) medicine also uses it tremendously, enhances the fire in the
body. In Native tradition we use it for circulation issues, rheumatoid arthritis,
nausea, morning sickness, fevers, colds, colic, cramps, detoxifier, lowers harmful
blood cholesterol, reduces blood pressure, all the way to being an aphrodisiac. It is
served with Sushi as pickled ginger for the purpose to kill the anisakid worm, a
parasite sometimes carried in raw fish, within sixteen hours.
Ginger is considered to be a medicine since antiquity & has shown up in writings
of Confucius as early as 500BC. The menu served at the round table of King
Arthur & his knights in Medieval times included ginger.
The name is from Ancient Indian Sanskrit, sringa-vera, which means horn body
probably referring to the root.
Seek the advice of your doctor or herbalist before using herbs for your health care.

Blessings of Clarity!
Staying focused & on track with your intentions for your life can sometimes go astray. I've decided to start a session on 'Making it Happen'. You've made your intentions for this year or month or where you envision yourself in the next 3 years, now how do you stay on track and follow through. I have a new coaching program set up to help support you with this. We will set up a time to connect on the phone, starting with a free up to 1 hour consult on stating your intentions & creating a plan to make them happen. Then weekly we will connect for 30 minutes to follow up & keep you moving forward in the direction that you want to manifest, All for a small fee of $10 per 30 minute call.
Herb of the Month:
Mullein ~ Verbascum thapsus
Native American toilet paper, one of the first things I remember so well from my Formal Herbal studies. The softness of the leaf & size is a 'of course they would of' reaction. I will share with you the younger the leaf the softer it is. Hehe. The leaf was also used, by poor country people, in shoes to help keep their feet warm.
Mullein is so much more than toilet paper though. It is a terrific respiratory herb. A great expectorant made as a tea or cough syrup. There has been many incidences that in asthma cases or deep bronchial issues, when smoked out of a pipe, it has cleared the lungs & restored breathing once more. It is said to be
the only herb that is actually healing when smoked.
The yellow flower extracted in oil makes great ear drops & has prevented many ear infections.
The plant grows in sandy, depleted soil usually found on the sides of roads, desolate areas or fields. It's a biennial & can grow about 5' tall. The leaves form a rosette at the bottom & a torch grows up from the center in the 2nd growing year, which produces the flowers. After the stalk has dried out it has been used as a torch to light the way.
The flower essence of the mullein is considered the flower of inner light to guide us along our path.

Happy New Year 2011!
May your intentions for your life bring much happiness, laughter & love. Unconditional love which ultimately comes from self love, judgmental free. Did you know that by having incompletes in your life they could block you from moving forward or gain clarity? We can distract ourselves so much by having all these projects or tasks to do that keep us too busy to feel what's
going on inside of our body, mind & spirit. "Simplify, simplify, " Henry David Thoreau. Take time to complete the list or just call them done & sit for a quiet meditation instead of turning on the tv.
Herb of the Month:
Ginkgo ~ Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo is known to be a preventative for Alzheimer disease by bringing more
oxygen to the brain. It helps with mental clarity & memory retention. As an
anti-oxidant it aids in preventing the formation of free radicals (enviromental
toxins) thereby helping to protect organs & any damaging to the tissues,
helping to prevent the aging process.
Ginkgo biloba is one of the world's oldest living trees. Traced back more than
200 million years from fossils. The life expectancy can be up to 1000 years &
grow 100-122 ft. The fruit is non-edible & foul smelling, in Chinese medicine
the inner seed is used. This information refers to the leaves which are
harvested both green & yellow due to the different constituients in both which
when combined create a valuable extract for us. Some of the constituients are:
flavonoids, terpenoids, organic acids, carotenoids & sterols.
Ginkgo must not be taken with other anticoagulant drugs & not used before
surgery.
I do not have ginkgo on my products page on my website. If you're interested
please drop me a note.

Joyful Blessings!
As I contemplate the upcoming holiday season, while looking out the window
with the sun's rays illuminating the scenery, I wonder what the angels are
doing? How to best reach out to others & spread kindness, uplifting those
that are in the shadow of their lives? I would love to hear what you are doing this holiday season.
Herb of the Month:
Milk Thistle ~ Silybum marianum
The Chinese believe that the liver is the heart of the body & we have been
gifted the one & only herb called Milk Thistle which is a liver rejuvenator.
Silybum marianum contains silymarin which nourishes & replenishes the liver
better than any other nutrient that I know of. Due to the constituents in the
seed that have balancing actions using the whole seed, versus straight
silymarin extract that could interfere with other drugs prescribed, the whole
seed is recommended. The herb is a hepatic, galactogogue, demulcent &
cholagogue. Anyone that has hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver & gall bladder issues
using this herb consistently is hugely helpful. I would actually love to see it on
everyone's table being used on a daily basis. Your liver works to cleanse your
body keeping toxins at bay, milk thistle rejuvenates your liver to keep it in
good running order. It increases the flow of bile so a mild diarrhea reaction due
to a high fat diet is a possibility.
Milk Thistle also promotes milk secretion & has been recommended for breast
feeding mothers.
Milk Thistle has been used medicinally for several thousand years.
The folklore story is that Mary while nursing Jesus was sitting next to the
thistle & spilled milk on the leaves.

November Newsletter
November 2010, can you believe it?
I just finished a weekend at Bioneers. Wow, amazing people standing their
ground in the knowledge of truth. It's a huge inspiration to observe the feeling
of Capable that they stand in. Some were known to be the 'trouble maker' in
school, some were that quiet person that could never imagine themselves
standing up for what they felt was reasonable. I invite you all to get involved
& find out for yourselves what is really going on & do your own research to
find the truth. We all have the power within to step into the feeling of
Capable.
Herb of the Month:
Sassafras ~ Sassafras albidum
Sassafras is a tree in which during the time the leaves are grown in it is easily
recognized. Three shapes can be found in the leaf structure, a mitten, a ghost
& an oval. The root bark is used as medicinal purposes & has been for
centuries down south. Mainly for liver disfunction, excema & seborrhea.
There are precautions in the internal use of sassafras due to the oil of the plant
being a carcinogenic. The oil is not water absorbable therefore in the use as a
tea that would not be extracted.
The flavor of Sassafras tea is very delicious, hot or iced.
Avoid use if pregnant!
I am suppling Sassafras root bark for anyone that would like some, I also am
serving it at 'The Self Help Section' in Pembroke, MA.

October Newsletter
I wish for you all this October the feeling of Wellbeing.
Wellbeing appears to be the word or feeling that comes up most often lately.
Whether your in the midst of healing from broken bones, hearts, security,
dreams, the list goes on. One of the most important focus's for you needs is to
be wellbeing. Just the feeling of I Am Wellbeing can bring you out of the fear
& into the space of it's all ok. So breathe in wellbeing, be wellbeing & energize
wellbeing. Then pass it on in your handshakes & hugs.
Herb of the Month:
Arnica ~ Arnica montana
The flower of recovery.
I absolutely love this herb! It works so wonderfully in healing bruises, joints,
bones & egos back to recovery & wellbeing. Since my kids were young playing
sports, etc. the tube of homeopathic arnica came in handy many times &
worked his magic. If you use this herb internally only use the homeopathic
form otherwise it is toxic. The dried flowers are extracted in oil and formulated
in order to apply externally in which it works it's magic as well when applied
to the area that is affected. I make an oil & a salve using organic ingredients
& the highest quality available with love.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
Do not use on open wounds.
With Arnica's swift healing qualities, black & blues, black eyes, torn muscles
& achy joints are back in action again with proper coloring restored the ego's
wellbeing comes easier once again. Even though we know we are full of
Wellbeing whether bruised or not. If applying to a black eye, please be sure not
to get it in your eye. The salve would work best in that case.
Just in case you are having difficulty feeling Wellbeing, meridian tapping is a
great way to get there. Please do let me know if I can be of service.

September Newsletter
September has arrived.
Summer's harvest has been underway and the seasons are changing yet
again. As we cycle with it, I remember the gentle ease of the summer days
embracing life and feeling the sun's energy & glow. I choose to remember
those feelings and attract them to me whenever I need to give my spirit a lift.
Included in that lift is the aroma & essence of Lavender. Those deep purple
blossoms and sweet fairylike fragrances are magical seeds from Creator for more support for us human beings.
Herb of the Month:
Lavender ~ Lavandula angustifolia
The flower of the Virgin Mary.
The actions within the body are: carminitive, anti-spasmodic,
anti-depressant, rubefacient, anti-emetic & nervine. It relaxes you & puts
you in a state of calm. It is said that the Virgin Mary was especially fond of
Lavender due to it's protection from insects on clothing & it preserved
chastity. The infusion, tincture or inhalation of the flowers has a wonderfully
relaxing effect on the mind and body. I was guided in using Lavender in
'Grace', the roll on for your higher self that is part of the Conscious
Wellbeing Support Line that I now make and carry.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/grace-truth--love.html
You can use it in the bath for tension, relaxing before you go to sleep,
palpitations, colic for babies & settling a child's emotions for bedtime. I've
used it successfully for calming down migraines & helps stimulate healing of
bug bites.
The flower essence of lavender helps to balance the emotions & relieve
anxiety. Using the essence or essential oil is also helpful in connecting to
your higher self and opening your crown chakra.
One of my favorite recipes is Lavender tea bread and Lavender cookies.
Consider stopping to smell the Lavender while you are stopping to smell the
Roses along this journey of life.

August Newsletter
August sea breezes to one & all!
Out with the old to make room for the new. We think about material
objects in decluttering, downsizing & reorganizing, I want to focus on our
inner "out with the old", "in with the new". Doing away with beliefs that
do not serve us and how did we come to believe that in the first place to
checking everything out and finding our own truths. I challenge everyone to
go there and listen to your inner talk to find out what you believe in the
first place. Is it serving you? Is it uplifting you? We can make the choice to
change the way we think anytime we want.
Herb of the Month:
Chamomile ~ Matricaria chamomilla
The flower of equilibrium.
May I have a cup of tea please! Chamomile that is, make that a round for
the house, pub, universe. Safe for children, pets, plants, adults and
everything else in between. A gentle sedative, calming anxiety, easing
indigestion & inflammations. Drink it, gargle with it, use it as an eye
wash, inhale it over a steam bath, bathe in it, use it as a hair rinse & apply
it externally to heal wounds.
You'll find it in my "LOVE" roll-on, a key ingredient in nurturing oneself.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/grace-truth--love.html
If growing it in your garden, gather the flower heads when in full bloom
allowing the dew to dry before harvesting. As with most teas, steep for at
least 20 minutes before drinking. After you make tea allow to cool and
freeze into popsicles for a great summer time treat (you can add other herbs
for a tantilizing treat such as cinnamon, mint, citrus peel, rosehips, etc.)
Have fun & PLAY!
Whether it's colic, insomnia, mentraul cramps, anxiety, fever, loss of
balance, celebrations such as a wedding or life ~ Chamomile is the Sun to
help guide you there.

July Newsletter
Blessings of Grace!
With all that's going on, if you haven't discovered Who You Are yet then please, do
so. Go within and discover the love that you are, feel it, embrace it, accept and let
everything else wash away. When you find the treasure that is inside you, share
and help light up the world.
Herb of the Month:
Rose - Rosa canina
Exquisite, the rose is! Thorns & all, the thorns remind us of our journey & the
gentleness that life can bring as well. The rosehip is waiting for you to partake of
the Vitamin C that she offers. One of the best natural freely available sources.
The hips will also help with mild gall-bladder problems, constipation as well as
kidney & bladder conditions.
The flower of Love has inspired poets & artists for centuries. The rose carries the
highest vibration for those that are familiar with energy. Find rose in Grace, part of
my Conscious Wellbeing Support line that evolved while I was in Northern Cal. I am
very excited about it and wish for you all to visit my New webpage.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/grace-truth--love.html
According to Eastern traditions when a soul knocked at the door of the next world
and all material things had to be left behind, only the red rose was allowed to
accompany that soul over the threshold.
Vitamin A, D, E, flavonoids, lycopene & iron are also available from the rosehip.
Rose Water is fantastic for the face and is uplifting for the entire body. Rose oil is
very expensive due to the number of roses needed to acquire it but what a delight.
Soaking your feet in rose petals has a anti-inflammatory action while feeling like
silk upon your feet.
My favorite way to intake rosehips is by making a syrup which can be taken by
the spoonful, used as a topping on sorbet, a spoonful added to a cup of
tea...........I'll be happy to share the recipe with you, just drop me an email.

Thyme For Wellness
Dandelions & Warm Summer Breezes
Many people have the belief in their head that dandelions are a weed and should
be exterminated. A spot of yellow that turns into a fluffy cloud ball of seeds that
fly ever so gently around when the yard 'should' be all green. I'm hoping to
enlighten you and share with you the truth of this plant that was so graciously
granted to us.
Herb of the Month:
Dandelion ~ Taraxacum officinale
The flower of survival/faithfulness! Not only is it one of the best natural sources
of potassium, it is a powerful diuretic. The root is excellent for the liver & has
been used to treat jaundice, the leaves help flush excess water from the body &
the flowers are full of lecithin which is useful for liver ailments. Eat the leaf
before the plant flowers in salads, once it flowers the leaf is much more bitter
which steaming, both flower & leaf, in water or lightly sautéing in oil with garlic
is a delicious dish. As a bitter, it cleanses the body of wastes & is often used as a
spring tonic to get rid of the winter clogging of foods. In cleansing the liver with
the roots it helps relieve emotional feelings built up & free them. The root can
also be a mild laxative. Dandelion tea, made from the leaves & flowers is used
for ulcers & skin conditions. Add celery seed to the tea & taken daily, it is used
for arthritis & rheumatism .
Dandelion flower essence can be used in massage oil for people that fill up their
lives with too much to do & no room for relaxing. It helps relieve this tension.
In autumn, the root is roasted & used as coffee. It helps keep the liver & kidneys
working good & doesn't have the harmful effects as in coffee & regular tea.
The great healing abilities of the dandelion originate in Greece & Central Asia.
The French looked at the flower as the color of the royal lion & the shape of the
open mouth while the leaves resemble the lion's teeth. Taraxacum comes from
the Greek word taraxo meaning disorder.
So I ask you, for your own well being, to start planting & using dandelions
instead of throwing your medicine away.
Love and Peace beyond all understanding,
In Joy & Harmony,

Back when humans first came to earth they were unaware of the gnomes, elves &
fairies, & would run into them. The elves & gnomes could hide under rocks &
underground but the fairies had nowhere to go. The sun-loving fairies wore
yellow gowns so they were transformed into dandelions. If the dandelion is
stepped on, it will soon spring up again because of the spirit of the fairies in
them.

Herb of the Month:
Horsetail ~ Equisetum arvense
This plant was a tree during the carboniferous period & probably
formed a great proportion of the vegetation . The horsetail now
exists as merely a dwarfish representative. I wonder if it will
make it's way back to tree size again....
It's diuretic & astringent actions are useful in kidney and bladder
trouble. The primary use of the herb is as a diuretic. Gently
stimulating increased urinary flow, horsetail helps "flush" infectious
bacteria out of the bladder without altering the body's balance of
electrolytes. Being high in silica & calcium it is great for
nourishing the hair, bones & nails.
Avoid horsetail if you take an ACE inhibitor for high blood
pressure & you have congestive heart failure, as the combination
of the herb and the drug can cause accumulation of excessive
potassium. Also do not use if you have kidney stones.
Horsetail has been recognized as a specific for inflammation or
benign enlargement of the prostate gland. Externally it is used as
a vulnerary, better known as healing wounds. It is one of the
fine organic ingredients found in the 'Calcium Creme', which is
great to apply to your skin for healing and nourishing.

Herb of the Month:
Horsetail ~ Equisetum arvense
This plant was a tree during the carboniferous period & probably
formed a great proportion of the vegetation . The horsetail now
exists as merely a dwarfish representative. I wonder if it will
make it's way back to tree size again....
It's diuretic & astringent actions are useful in kidney and bladder
trouble. The primary use of the herb is as a diuretic. Gently
stimulating increased urinary flow, horsetail helps "flush" infectious
bacteria out of the bladder without altering the body's balance of
electrolytes. Being high in silica & calcium it is great for
nourishing the hair, bones & nails.
Avoid horsetail if you take an ACE inhibitor for high blood
pressure & you have congestive heart failure, as the combination
of the herb and the drug can cause accumulation of excessive
potassium. Also do not use if you have kidney stones.
Horsetail has been recognized as a specific for inflammation or
benign enlargement of the prostate gland. Externally it is used as
a vulnerary, better known as healing wounds. It is one of the
fine organic ingredients found in the 'Calcium Creme', which is
great to apply to your skin for healing and nourishing.

April Newsletter
Blessings of Warm Spring Sunshine!
Happy Birthday to my Son, Happy Easter, and Be Conscious of the
trickster! Thyme for renewing our rites of passage & acknowledging who we
are and why are we here. To Love All Ways and be of Service. The plants
have been here long before any humans and are in all ways being of service
to us. Enjoy their bounty & abundance! In light of the allergy season, I am
offering a 20% off Sale on my allergy products.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
Herb of the Month:*
Red Raspberry ~ Rubus idaeus
Yum, the berries are delicately delicious but it's the leaf that contains most
of the medicinal properties. If you gather the leaves before the plant flowers
you will have the highest antioxidant content. It's a powerful uterine tonic
when used during pregnancy and childbirth. Strengthening & toning the
tissue of the womb while assisting contractions. Drink the tea on a daily
basis. The leaf is very high in calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium,
vitamins B, C & E, which makes it an excellent all purpose herb for men,
women & children. With the high tannins it is a valued remedy for diarrhea
& dysentery. It is helpful in reducing fevers and a great tonic for building
healthy bones & teeth. For these reasons it is one of the ingredients of
'Calcium Oil' & 'Calcium Salve' that I make & sell to be applied wherever
a need of calcium appears. Our skin is the largest organ of our body so
whatever we apply externally goes into our body through our skin.
http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html Red Raspberry leaf is
also used as a mouth rinse for gingivitis, canker sores & in gargling for sore
throats. There are no known contradictions for this herb. You just may want
to consider planting a crop in your yard for your own community medicine.
In good health.
Love and Peace beyond all understanding,

March Newsletter
~ Blessings of Gentleness ~
The definition of gentleness is: Quality or state of being gentle; esp. softness of
manners, disposition, etc. Treating ourselves with gentleness and therefore each
other is a process that would benefit us all in incredible, phenomenal changes that
all would embrace. The grace of a flower seed erupting from the earth, unfolding as
it grows through storms, muck, sunshine, etc., persevering and opening to the light
of all that is, to shine ever so brightly and intricately. I challenge you to really look
at the process of a flower's life through microscopic eyes, noticing all the details of
each stem, leaf, petal, stamen the pollen that the bees use so wisely and perfection
in it's finest glory. To produce & nurture a seed that remembers all footsteps,
chemicals, every spec of energy that has come it's way to reproduce once again. The
circle of life and the blueprint that is created, added to, cleared as an incredible
miracle that this universe is made up of, speaking in pure gentleness.
So I ask you to live your life through gentleness in all ways.
Herb of the Month:
Borage ~ Borage officinalis
The flower of courage!
Borage is an adaptogen herb, acting in a way to help the body adapt around a
problem. Supporting the adrenal glands helping the body to cope with stress &
change. The young dried leaves can be used infused in tea or as a tincture. It is
used to detoxify the system, helping with skin rashes, arthritis, infections and
reduce fevers. The seeds contain gamma linoleic acid which is used for menstrual
problems, allergies & arthritis. The leaves and seeds stimulate the flow of mother's
milk. http://www.thymeforwellness.com/products.html
The actions are diaphoretic, expectorant, tonic, anti-inflammatory, galactogogue,
diuretic & emollient. The flower essence is a remedy for courage & optimism.
Excellent heart remedy to relieve the heavy hearted, ease the broken hearted, and
brighten the disheartened. Great for suffering grief loss, sadness or
discouragement. Lifting the spirits helping to rise above.
A native of the Mediterranean countries, it grows happily here in Northern
California. The Ancient Greeks & Romans garnished their wine glasses with the
bright blue flowers, lovely & yummy! Plant some borage in your garden this year &
experience the cooling sensation that the flower brings forth, in your salads, as
garnishes or whatever your imagination can dream up. The young leaves are high
in potassium & calcium which also make a great addition to your salad. Besides, it
is a valuable companion plant to tomatoes & strawberries & attracts bees!
Peace & Love beyond all understanding.
In Joy & Harmony,
Lori

February Newsletter
February 2010, Heart month!
I absolutely love Valentine's day! A heart focused life is a very happy
one! Being in total alignment with our Creator, all love. Take care of
your heart, the earth is shifting in the universe and one of the areas it
will affect is your heart. Keep your heart and emotions balanced in a
positive state and you will reap the benefits.
Herb of the Month:
Hawthorn Berries ~ Crataegus laevigata
Hawthorn berries are antispasmodic, cardiac, diuretic, sedative, tonic
and vasodilator. The other major ingredient in the 'Heart Tonic' tincture
besides motherwort. Goes right to the heart of the matter by acting
directly on the heart muscle to help it work more efficiently. It's an herb
to be taken in regular doses over a period of time working gently with the
body. In Gentleness is the way to treat ourselves and in turn each other.
The heart knows and it serves to teach and guide us. Treat your heart
well and live a heart focused life.
The ancient Greeks and Romans regarded the hawthorn as a symbol of
hope and happiness.
Due to it flowering in the spring it has been called May or Mayblossom.
The Mayflower Ship was named after the hawthorn.
It's an amazing time to be alive! Let's dance through our hearts together.

January Newsletter
Blessings of Love to Guide & Motivate you through this New Year of 2010!
A year full of changes with more to come. Change can disturb & move us into
uncomfortable zones, it can also keep us growing & learning ever so much. Consider
allowing the love inside of you to be your ultimate source of comfort & peace. When
you allow Love to guide you through all of your endeavors, you just can't go wrong!
Herb of the Month:
Motherwort ~ Leonurus cardiaca
I thought this herb would be a great one to feature this month due to all the heart
conditions & cardiac attacks that have been happening. Whether it's been more
prominent or just the norm we have been blessed with a few herbs that are specific
for the heart. Motherwort is a heart tonic (tonic meaning that it's safe to take on a
daily basis), for both men & women, gently strengthens & normalizes heart action.
Very good for nervousness & anxiety palpitations of the heart. Specifically for
women, it is also a helpful regulator of menses & useful in PMS. Can be a helpful
regulator in menopause where cycles become irregular & anxiety can set in.
The actions of motherwort are: sedative, emmenogogue, anti-spasmodic, cardiac
tonic, hepatic & nervine. The wildflower can grow up to 5 ft. high from the
Lamiaceae family.
Some folklore on motherwort is it drives melancholy vapours from the heart,
strengthens & brings on merriment. Removes cold phlegm from the chest &
destroys worms in the stomach.
Leonurus means 'lion's tail' due to the ragged-edged leaves resembling a lion's tail.
Cardiaca means 'for the heart'
I use this herb regularly ~ 'Heart Tonic' can be purchased from my website:
www.ThymeForWellness.com
Please do come visit & take care of yourselves with gifts from this beautiful planet
earth that we get to call home for the time being.
Happy New Year to you and I wish for you the best year ever!!!

December newsletter
Blessings of Unconditional Love,
It's amazing to me that it's December already. Much to be grateful for,
much to celebrate. While you are celebrating the holidays, I ask you to
please be mindful of anyone that may be alone & include them. Holiday's
can be the worst time of year for those that are isolated. The gift of
friendship & being remembered is priceless. If you are alone, please do
anything that you can to 'get out of the box' & connect with others. I'm just
a phone call away.
Herb of the Month:
Peppermint ~ Mentha piperita
The first thing that comes to mind when there is a stomach ache is
peppermint. Steep a cup of tea for 20 minutes and start sipping, usually it
works beautifully. Besides the carminitive properties, peppermint's actions
also are anti-spasmodic, aromatic, diaphoretic, anti-emetic, nervine,
analgesic, anti-catarrhal, anti-microbial, emmenagogue, rubefacient &
stimulant. Safe for children & pregnant women. Great cold & flu aid as
well as for painful menstrual moments. When you need a pick-me-up to get
more studying done, have a headache or while driving have a bottle of
peppermint oil nearby and apply to your temples. Put the leaves in a
steaming pot of water, using a towel to cover your head as you lean over the
pot & give yourself a steam to open your sinuses and cleanse your pores.
Mint adds a magical touch to fruits & vegetable dishes. Experiment & have
fun. It is said that the Greeks & Romans crowned themselves with
peppermint at their feasts and used it to adorn the tables with. It was
admitted in the London Pharmacopoeia in 1721. An important item for
everyone's medicine chest. Be well and enjoy using natures way of providing
health for us.

November Newsletter
Blessings of Wellness!
In changing the time, I suppose our own inner clocks have also been
changing to adjust for the limited amounts of daylight we will have. A
process that the earth goes through annually. Somethings you can always
count on. Just as our intuition is something we can always count on and
trust. Mastering what our inner guidance is telling us, as with most
everything else, takes practice and the act of doing it.
With the change of seasons please also be mindful of your vitamin intake.
Vitamin D is essential for our immune system.
Herb of the Month:
Kelp ~ Laminaria species
This month's herb is a gift from the sea.
This herb is full of B1, B2 & B12 vitamins, as well as Vitamin A, C, & K. It
also contains calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium & iodine. Do note that it
is high in sodium. It's been proven useful in treating underactive thyroid
glands & goitre. Kelp can function as an antacid. Being rich in
polysacchaides makes it as a known anticancer property. It can soften hard
lumps or tumors and inhibits the growth hormone of tumors. I like to make a
seaweed mixture of kelp and nori to sprinkle on food, like popcorn, instead of
salt or as a seaweed soak.
Check out the Sole Spa workshop that I offer! Along with a relaxing foot
soak, learn foot exercises, reflexology & great herbs to use on your feet.
www.ThymeForWellness.com
'De-Stress, it's all good' & 'Boost your Body' were the top workshops for the
month of October. Affordable, fun and lot's of knowledge shared to
incorporate in your life of wellness.
My herbal products are in the process of going on my website. Great for
health related gifts that you may want to give this holiday season. I'm

Blessings of the truth of who you are!
While I was doing some herbal research this morning I happened to
think of Michael Moore, a Master Herbalist that has a gnomic style
about him and a great sense of humor. I then discovered that he
passed over Feb. 20, 2009. Born Jan. 9, 1941 (20 yrs before me) and
a fellow Capricorn whom I feel tamed that "dark side" of the sun
sign as I have through working with the plants and constantly learning
from them about life beyond ones imagination. I never met him, just
a feeling I get. Bless him and all the work and service he performed
while on this planet. Speaking of 'dark sides', we all have them,
embracing & accepting all of ourselves is a huge step in loving
ourselves so we may love others, unconditionally.
Herb of the Month:
St. John's Wort ~ Hypericum perforatum
At the moment I am living back in Massachusetts, previously,
California. While in Southern CA I was expecting to see a lot of St
John's Wort as a 'weed', it's unlawful to plant the herb in CA due to
it's invasive affect it had in the state. I couldn't find one plant. When I
returned to MA in July I couldn't help but notice St. John's Wort
growing everywhere. I've been taught to be aware of what's growing
around you and that is most likely what you need. St. John's Wort is
an antidepressant and more so an anti-inflammatory. It works
awesome but PLEASE do not take it if you are on any conventional
drugs. It can interact with your medication as if you are not taking
any thing at all. Please only take it if you only use herbs or
homeopathics and still check with an Herbalist. If you are on birth
control it will also interfere and neutralize it. When used properly the
herb is phenomenal in it's actions. Used externally as an oil or salve
it relieves sciatica, carpal tunnel and many other inflammatory issues.
As an antidepressant it works very nicely once you get it in your
system which can take up to a month. The leaves of the plant when
looked at closely are filled with little holes, hence the Latin name
perforatum. Plants are amazing, really check them out closely
sometime & just bee in the moment. The blessings already are!
Love and Peace beyond all understanding.
In Joy & Harmony, Lori

you can motivate yourself. I am here to serve you." J. Elster
Blessings of Health, Wealth & Happiness
That's the title of one of my workshops that I am offering.
Happiness is truly a choice that can be made in any moment.
Focusing on eating a more alkaline diet and using EFT we can unblock
the blocks to accomplish success in whatever you define wealth as
being. These are some of the tools that I teach.
I have been blessed with being able to have many moments with the sea this past month, especially observing my daughter's wedding at the beach. What a gift and joy!
Gratitude & Laughter are other tools in my belt & I recommend to
put them in yours as well.
Herb of the Month:
Coltsfoot ~ Tussilago farfara
The Latin name means 'chase the cough away' which is exactly what
this herb does. It's expectorant, anti-tussive, demulcent, anti-catarrhal,
diuretic, emollient & pectoral properties make this herb great to
relieve the stress of bronchitis, irritating coughs, whooping coughs &
asthma. You can tincture coltsfoot, make a syrup or steep it for tea.
Make sure you steep it for a minimum of 20 minutes in order to
receive the medicinal constituents. I've been using the herb myself
lately in clearing something within me. All in Divine timing.
The coltsfoot flower used to be painted on the doorpost sign of the
apothecary shops in Paris.
May we all be healthy, wealthy & happy. Remember when we work
together to help each other we help ourselves as well ("where two
or more are gathered"). Take care of yourself so you can take care
of others.
Love and Peace beyond all understanding,
In Joy, Harmony & Laughter,
Lori
