One of the many medicinal and nutritive plants to be grown on the homestead used both for leaf and root. <br/><br/>It&#39;s true that comfrey contains varying amounts of PA&#39;s (the root more so) and thus might seriously harm some folks with liver damage (especially with long term use), but skeptical herbalists disagree about tossing out hundreds of years of effective, traditional use. I suggest doing your own study and/or working with a clinical herbalist before using any herb internally.

This is the same herb (gotu kola, if you must know): on the left is over a year old. On the right is a fresh order.

I cannot wait to see this come down!<br/><br/>While emptying the shelves, I had a mad dash of inspiration and threw away all of my supplements. I&#39;ve been taking supplements of one kind or another, even herbs in capsules, for decades. I decided to see how I&#39;d feel NOT taking them, but instead drinking and eating all of my nutrients instead. I know: what a revelation 🙄. I was actually grossed out by the amount of pills and tablets and capsules in the small sack I filled.

The upside is having a smaller closet with clothing that lasts. I have found most of such clothing either thrifting, handsewing/knitting, on Etsy, or just with paying attention in retail stores (some will offer better fabrics, but some will only carry the plastics and aren&#39;t worth looking into).

Why have 4 weeks of Advent and only one day to celebrate? We celebrate by having plenty of family time (hikes, new puzzles, board games...), solitude (reading all those new books!), and having people over for brunch, lunch, and suppers. It&#39;s a good time to reconnect with God, ourselves, and others.<br/><br/>Yesterday evening I made up a full gallon of Russian Tea. Zounds, it was good. I used orange ceylon tea, 8 oranges, 6 lemons, plenty of cinnamon and cloves, and a bit of pineapple juice for sweetness. It&#39;s delicious hot and full of vitamin C! The only way to go wrong with it is to google some recipe and start with some canister of pseudo orange flavored &#34;drink&#34;.<br/><br/>Anyhow, good coffee morning and Merry continuing Christmas ☕️<br/><br/>#coffeechain <video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://video.nostr.build/fbf383cc9511c7b9a5f3e50613a6a93cf501adfb8610b1b27ad207fd1c261d05.mp4"></video> 2024-12-30T16:28:14Z
