A new video on darkness, shadow, and healthy s*xuality be a reminder to please freaking vote for Kamala, and vote blue in general. Our sanity cannot afford to lose reproductive choice. Let's clear our trauma (with the help of Sexy Smokes), do our emotional work (plenty more herbal allies will help), and walk forward into a more equal, progressive future. F-off to geriatric hypocrites who accost women and benefit from s*x work while trying to control our bodies and diminish our human rights.

With passion,
Lily

Another illuminating and powerful plant meditation experience. This time with Avena sativa, oat tops. I have found a new plant ally. I think I am in love.

This week we meditated on an oat tops, scientific name Avena sativa. Pre-meditation The taste is "weird and musky, a little like b.o.". I found it warming, comforting, and taste is a little slippery, a touch of grass flavor. Meditation 1 My daughter: Basically, Born to Die by Lana Del Rey was stuck....

Meet grindelia. This plant drew me in! It’s not fancy looking at all, but I do believe this is sticky, native gumweed. I dreamed of this herb for my hip which, at the time was giving me trouble because I was carrying around my 2 year old a lot. I looked into it and found nothing on its use for joints. It is most well known for treating poison oak and also is used for lung conditions. I do know other sticky, resinous herbs that help both with lungs and joints (like lomatium). I took it for six weeks and it resolved my hip discomfort, helped me get better at self-care as a mother (boundaries!), and resolved the asthma I had had for thirty some years. Because my asthma was better I was able to start exercising more, even running, something I couldn’t do before! I started volunteering at Audubon Society of Portland in their wildlife care center. This was also motivated by a dream. I used to get asthma because of my allergies but now I just get mild allergies to lots of animals. But, not enough to make a few hours a week a problem. I got to help owls, eagles, hummingbirds, and most dangerous: seagulls. I had felt my asthma was mild but healing it brought all sorts of things into possibility.

I think Grindelia works by addressing sticky residue, such as old phlegm from unresolved childhood lung infections. I have heard that dairy (very closely associated with phlegm) can build up in joints too (don’t eat ice cream if you want to avoid arthritis). Over the next several years I would occasionally feel the beginnings of asthma after a chest infection. I would use grindelia again and it would quickly resolve. Health is your birthright. Don’t settle for any diagnosis of chronic illness! I have gotten over about 20 or so health problems that I was told by western medical professionals I would have my whole life.

So happy to see this guy in real life for the first time. Check out Backyard Habitat Certification Program yards near you for all the cool natives. ✨
