DANDELION CORDIAL 🌼

🥂 Cordial is a brew of flower petals (or herbs), citrus, water, and honey. This concentrated syrup is often added to alcoholic beverages as a "sweetener" and became extremely popular during the middle ages.

🌹 Almost any edible flower can be used to make a cordial and today we are using dandelion! This sweet citrus syrup is delicious in lemonade, sparkling water, cocktails and even herbal tea!

RECIPE
• 40–50 Dandelion flower heads (sepals removed)
• 1 lemon (zest and juice)
• 1 cup raw honey (or sugar)
• 4 ½ cups of water

1. Collect dandelion flowers and lay them out to dry for an hour or so, so that any insects residing in them will leave. We need the naturally occurring yeast on the dandelion petals for our slight fermentation, therefore do not wash them. Make sure you harvest your flowers from areas that are clean and organic.

2. After you have allowed all of the insects to disperse, start by removing the sepals (the green parts) from your flowers and add petals to a clean glass bowl. Although this is time consuming, its important not to skip this step, otherwise your cordial will have a bitter flavor.

3. Boil your water on the stovetop and in the meantime, zest the entire lemon peel and juice the rest on top of your flowers.

4. Pour boiling water over the flowers, then add your honey. Mix until honey is dissolved. Place a clean towel or cheese cloth over your bowl and allow it to sit overnight to infuse and ferment.

5. In the morning, strain out your flowers and bottle your cordial. This will stay good in the refrigerator for about a week. For a longer shelf life, brandy or vodka liquor can be added.

💐 Every spring we make cordial from all our blooming flowers around the homestead! This includes elderflower, rose, lilac, mint, violets and even white pine!

🌎 Experimenting with your local landscape can be extremely exciting and if it's edible, it can be experimented with! Have fun and get foraging!

Stay Wild ✌️

Pluto has never been interested in the version of your life that exists on the surface. It operates in the places most of us would rather not look — the quiet accommodations we have made to keep certain dynamics intact, the energy we spend maintaining things we stopped genuinely believing in long ago, the version of ourselves we perform for belonging while the more honest version waits. When Pluto stations and turns inward, as it does today, that is precisely the territory it begins to excavate.

In Aquarius, the specific pressure point is your relationship with belonging — where the desire to remain part of something has quietly been allowed to override your actual values and your actual needs. Pluto moving retrograde through this sign is an audit of every place you edited yourself to fit, stayed quiet to keep the peace, or confused compliance with connection. That reckoning rarely arrives dramatically. It accumulates in small moments of clarity that eventually make the comfortable compromise feel untenable — not because something outside of you changed, but because something inside of you finally stopped being willing to look away.

That is the work of the next five months. Not performance, not proof, not a transformation visible enough to explain to anyone else. Just the slow, structural process of becoming more honest with yourself about what you are actually willing to carry — and what you are finally ready to put down. ✨

🚨 Thousands of Lawsuits Reveal Severe Health Risks from Popular Weight-Loss Drugs

More than 31 million American adults, representing about 12% of the population, are currently using GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide, manufactured by Novo Nordisk) and Mounjaro or Zepbound (tirzepatide, from Eli Lilly).

These medications, initially developed for type 2 diabetes, have surged in popularity for weight loss.

However, a growing wave of litigation now highlights potentially devastating side effects that manufacturers may not have adequately disclosed.

Court records show over 4,400 lawsuits filed by patients who report serious injuries.

Approximately 75% of these cases allege gastroparesis, a condition in which the stomach essentially stops functioning, preventing food from moving forward. This can lead to prolonged vomiting, severe malnutrition, and life-altering complications.

Another 18% involve ileus, where bowel muscles fail to propel contents, and an equal share cite intestinal obstructions that in some instances have caused colon rupture, requiring extensive surgical removal of bowel sections.

Gallbladder injuries appear in 8% of claims, often necessitating emergency procedures.

Vision-related tragedies have also emerged, with 110 plaintiffs reporting sudden blindness or severe changes linked to reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, sometimes described as an “eye stroke.”

Neurological damage, including Wernicke’s encephalopathy from thiamine deficiency triggered by relentless vomiting, has left patients with confusion, coordination loss, and lasting impairment.

Psychiatric risks are equally concerning: a 2024 study identified a 106% increase in suicidal behavior associated with these drugs, while Australian regulators documented 20 cases of suicidal thoughts in a single year.

Additional reports include altered absorption of oral contraceptives, raising the risk of unintended pregnancies even among women using birth control correctly, along with broader concerns about nutrient depletion and organ damage.

These complications stem from the drugs’ core mechanism: they dramatically slow digestion, suppress appetite, and interfere with normal metabolic signaling.

What was marketed as a simple solution now appears to carry risks of permanent gastrointestinal shutdown and systemic harm for a significant number of users.

As litigation proceeds, patients and physicians are urged to scrutinize the full scope of potential adverse effects.

This developing story underscores the critical need for caution before embracing pharmaceutical interventions for weight management.
