Over the weekend I got to spend some time with this powerful plant. Oplopanax horridus, otherwise known as Devil's Club, has a long indigenous history of medicinal use.

We are using the root of stem bark of this plant. It has a wide range of uses from topical pain relief, to wound care, to respiratory relief, to immune modulation and digestive support.

I always love bumping into Devil's Club because it only grows in pristine forest settings with ample water and each time I find it, it feels like the perfect forest spots!

My feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is in full bloom at the moment, but I don't plan to harvest any this year.

When I first started my herbalism journey I wanted ALL the plant allies possible planted, and proceeded to grow all kinds of things!

This plant's main indication is for migraines and although it also has other powers, I feel I am covered by more effective herbs for those. I am very rarely affected by headaches and have never suffered from a migraine, nor those around me.

So, for this year, it's a potent medicine with a pretty flower, lying in wait for when I need her.

The perfume in the air around me right now is intoxicating. Sunday morning, walking seaside collecting the flower for which I am named. She definitely holds a reverence in my heart.

I add roses to almost every tea so I'll be out here awhile today!

โžก๏ธ My garden is now pleasantly abundant with this tiny, delicate blue flower with it's white center, Woodland forget me not (Myosotis sylvatica).

This makes a nice tea! It is astringent, which means it's useful internally for things like diarrhea and externally for tightening wounded tissue.

Cute ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ

Kava is something I am familiar with and use as a tincture for anxiety back home in Canada. I find it highly effective. We even have some Kava bars in the city.
I have found it incredibly interesting how much it is used and also unfortunately abused here in Fiji. Kava drunk is a common thing.
It's got me reflecting on plant medicine and how much respect we need to have for these plants powers. Look forward to making tincture straight from the source!

As much as I am not a cold fan, its late arrival is an important part of our local ecosystem. The flora and fauna of this geographical area have adapted and evolved to include freezing as part of their life cycle. The freeze is part of many local seeds stratification requirements and without it we'd lose biodiversity.

Plus...the white fuzzy edges and crispiness make for pretty pictures ๐Ÿ˜‰

Check out the size of this polypore we stumbled across yesterday! This has to be the biggest one I have ever seen!!

I have some thoughts on what it may be but does anyone know for sure what it is?
It was probably about 45cm across and growing on Popular.
