Today is World Alzheimer’s Day. In Canada, more than 770,000 people are living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, and this number is only expected to increase with our aging population. ⁠
⁠
While there is still no known cure or reversal for Alzheimer’s, research has shown that certain supplemental treatments and preventions can be a helpful part of a cognitive decline care plan. By approaching this illness with a holistic mindset, factoring in lifestyle, nutrition, and botanical treatments alongside conventional medicine, we can help slow cognitive decline and make life easier and more comfortable for those in need. 🌿⁠
⁠
Our new course, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝘇𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮, is a comprehensive exploration of dementia, its signs, mitigating risks, and the spectrum of treatments that can be used to help. ⁠
⁠
Looking at Alzheimer’s through both holistic and clinical lenses, this course is an invaluable tool for those who want to expand their knowledge, understand the disease’s progression, and incorporate more supportive approaches into their care toolkit.⁠

Hello delectable PAWPAW Love!

Look at these gorgeous fruit clusters we just harvested from our wild gardens! Grateful for the bounty!

This native American treasure, scientifically called Asimina triloba of the Annonaceae family, is a close cousin of custard apple and guanabana, and shares their divine taste (somewhat like a banana, peach, melon combo with a hint of vanilla); and custard like texture.

Can't find any, I encourage u to introduce this tree into your landscape, or extended neighborhood.

It's the largest native fruit of EN America. Native to 26 states. Range: north to NY and S Ontario, west to TX and NE and south to FL. Grows best in USDA hardiness zones 5-8.

Nutrition (impressive): mineral rich—high in iron and magnesium. Per 3 oz fruit: 7 milligrams of iron = almost ½ of the RDA; and 113 milligrams magnesium = ⅓ of the RDA (wow!).

Plant Seeds: the large black seeds just removed from pawpaw fruit can be planted right away. Don’t leave at room temp for long (plant within a couple days). Germination decreases very quickly if seeds dry out.

Join me in the pawpaw patch and learn to ID, harvest, eat, and plant them from seed!

This is a beautiful formula to support healing of torn, sprained, or strained tendons, ligaments, connective tissues, and bones.

It strengthens the musculoskeletal system through mineral-rich nutrition (Horsetail, Nettle), supports deposition into connective tissues (Boneset), and stimulates circulation to speed healing (Cayenne and Lobelia).

Solomon’s Seal shines here as the lead herb, our primary connective tissue tonic. It brings a moistening, lubricating quality to the joints while gently adjusting tone in the connective tissues.

Horsetail warning 🌿
Harvest only in early spring. Like nettles, mature horsetail concentrates minerals that can irritate the kidneys or lead to stones. Later plants also contain too much silica for safe internal use. Horsetail can absorb heavy metals (cadmium, lead) from soil—so never harvest near roads or industrial sites. Always know the history of the land you’re foraging from.
