Wise Woman Ezine - September 13th, 2012
The Rugged Rumex - Rhubarb, Sorrels and More ...
|
|
 The heat is having a final fling here in the east, with daytime temperature back in the 80s and 90s.
But the leaves are turning red, purple, orange, brown, and yellow, and falling to the ground. The peaches, pears, apples, and plums are ripe and ready to harvest. Yes, autumn is underway. Lots of work (and play) for those who follow the green path.
Shall we continue our walk focused on those great dancers, the many-knees sisters, the Polygonaceae family? I hope you have found one or more of the smartweeds and knotweeds we looked at last week.
This week we will meet the Rugged Rumex branch of this family, also know as the Sour Sorrel Pucker-up Troupe. Like the smartweeds and the knotweeds, these sisters are found all over the world. Sometimes referred to as “docks,” the leaves and roots of these hardy plants make big medicines and delicious meals.
What shall we make with the docks we find? Yellow docks are big medicine. Shall we dig the roots and make an iron tonic? Rhubarb root is even bigger medicine. Shall we dig a rhubarb root and tincture it? I think not. It is a bit too early yet to dig roots. Perhaps we will make a yellow dock seed vinegar? Hmmm. I have it! Let’s make Sorrel Soup. It’s one of my fall favorites since I can serve it heated or chilled, depending on the weather.
Grab your baskets and some scissors. Let’s go kiss some pucker-up sisters.
Green blessings.

ByRegion Healers Newsletter featuring Susun Weed
|
The new issue of ByRegion Healer's Newsletter is now out!
Included in this issue is Remedies for Hairy Problems by Susun S. Weed
Too much hair (on the chin), too little hair (on the scalp), falling hair, thinning hair, greying hair - no matter what the complaint, many women notice something happening to their hair during menopause. As hormone levels shift during the menopausal years, hair responds to the changing hormones by changing texture, falling out, or by growing in "odd" places. This article includes remedies for those who want more hair, and for those who want less.
