When I worked in the hospital, resuscitating patients was a normal part of the work. While you’ve seen CPR done in movies or Gray’s Anatomy, it’s not as ‘simple’ as that. Squeezing an unbeating heart back into sinus rhythm by compressing it between the chest wall and the back requires a significant amount of force - and the bigger the patient, the more force required. It’s not something one can sustain indefinitely, I can do about 5 mins before being unable to move my arms any more. So when we’re resuscitating a patient, the doctors form a line. When the doctor doing the CPR can’t keep going, they call it out, give a 3-2-1 countdown, step away and the next in line seamlessly steps in. We rest. We move to the back of the line. Rinse and repeat as needed.

It’s a metaphor. There’s hard work happening right now - some of you have been doing this hard work your whole life because the color of your skin has demanded it. Some of you are new to it, showing up at protests, being medics, doing the inner work of uncovering your biases.

The work is life-and-death work. It needs to keep happening until the system changes and everyone is safe and respected. But for any one person, without replenishment, it’s not sustainable. We need rest and support. I believe this is the self care Audre Lorde referred to when she said it was an essential act of civil disobedience. If we burnout and can no longer resist, the system has won in yet another way.

But resistance is hard work. You are resuscitating life.

To stay resistant we have to nourish resilience. While herbs can’t change society, they are part of our original medicine and we can turn to them for support:
- adaptogens⊘ that support stress resilience (Ashwagandha and Holy Basil) and medicinal mushrooms (Reishi and Maitake) for immunity
- lemon balm, chamomile, and lavender for anxiety and stress
- Passionflower⊘ or Skullcap⊘ for sleep
- Kava kava⊘ for in-the-moment anxiety or panic

Head to the link below for more on adaptogens. If there’s a ⊘ not for use in pregnancy, okay if BF’ing.
And please share with me, and the rest of our community, below on how you nurture your resilience - and social resistance - in your life.
