Genetic memory is a thing and is an untapped resource. Dig down within yourself to find knowledge that you didn’t know you had.
This is dock, and whenever I present this plant in my workshops there is always some knowledge about it in the group - usually related to the old saying that if you ever get stung by nettle, look around as a dock leaf will not be far, and it will mend the rash.
These old stories are way more important than simple survival trivia; they are the leftovers of communion, when we were living in and with nature.
I remember this plant because when we were kids and working in the fields, my mum would give us this plant whenever we were complaining that we were bored or hungry. “Mum, I’m hungry”. My mum would pick this up and go: “Eat this, shut up”. We call it lavasoj in my language.
