Vlog#59 How we decide what work needs to be done + picking herbs for tea and slow living

Its that time of year when things are a little slow the veggies we planted need time to be able to grow and produce food for us but, we still have our own work around our houses that we like to get done like planting our gardens, its also the perfect time if you wish to redo or add something to your yard. yeah slow living indeed :)

I once grew and dried catnip in my oven on a low temp. After about 30 minutes on like 200 Fahrenheit the smell was so overwhelming I had to leave the house. It made me light headed and nauseous. If I ever do it again, I'll use a dehydrator and maybe even sit it outside to run. lol

My Granny’s collected mullein, pokeweed, sassafras(root for tea) made poultices etc. We lost all those skills with increasing urbanization and the rapid development of big pharmaceutical companies. Oh one of the fungus she use to pick was called the devils snuff box… it is a rather large mushroom and its spores look like a very fine ground of tobacco snuff. Its very good for poultices and stopping bleeding very quickly. So i love watching the women gathering the healing herbs. Its extremely important to keep these traditions alive. It makes for healthier life and not to reach for a pill bottle instead of teas and ginger etc. For instance there have been 1000’s of scientific studies showing that pure black cumin seeds lower bad cholesterol and lowers blood pressure. So people put the whole black cumin seeds in pepper grinders u only need 1/4 tsp a day to see the effects. God’s peace! Enjoyed this video G! keep up the good work! You have a very artistic nature. ✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gisellewaldner9406]

aww thank you so much, I love reading your comments but, I have to admit I have never heard of sassafras, devils snuff box they sound quite interesting just by their names alone or it could be that some don't grow in our area I'll have to look it up and see what I can find about it.

[@byrds58sylvie]

So I checked and sassafras trees do grow in Canada but not in Manitoba. Mayb a province over? As for the “devils snuffbox mushroom” just from quick research its in the “puff type mushroom” family. Looks like that particular one I was referring to only grows in very Southern regions of US, but there are some that grow possibly in your region that have the same uses. 💕

Liebe Frau Gitta M, ich bin seit 22 Jahren Flugbegleiterin und ich kann Ihnen versichern das fliegen, das sicherste Verkehrsmittel ist, mit dem man reisen kann. Wir sagen immer das gefährlichste an meiner Arbeit ist die Fahrt zum Flughafen (Auto). Es gibt auch Flugangstseminare vielleicht wäre das was für Sie? Wenn Sie sich aber doch mal überwinden und das wünsche ich Ihnen, dann sprechen Sie bitte eine Flugbegleigleiterin an Bord bezüglich Ihrer Flugangst an. Gerne ermöglichen wir es dann mal Boden mit dem Kapitän im Cockpit zu sprechen. ( Wenn man denjenigen persönlich kennengelernt hat der einen fliegt, gibt das gleich ein ganz anderes Gefühl.) Oft sind es auch die unbekannten Geräusche die einem Angst machen, wir stehen Ihnen da gerne jederzeit mit Hintergrundinformationen zur Seite. Liebe Grüße Michaela

Nur die Flugzeit nach Kanada ist bedeutend länger,dass ist das Problem. Nicht die Angst vor versagender Technik o.ä...Danke ihnen noch mal für die Anteilnahme und ich wünsche ihnen weiterhin viel Spaß an ihrer Arbeit, die nicht immer einfach ist. MfG Gitta Meding

Also ich meine mit umsteigen in Rekjavik? Von dort bis zum Festland von Kanada ist es nicht weiter als auf die Kanaren.
