But Grimsley, what ever else will I use?

ALTERNATIVES (these are just suggestions)

Rosemary (you can get it in a stick like sage)

Lavender

Dried flowers like Roses, Hibiscus, Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, Chamomile, Marigolds, Cornflower, Peony

Rose Hips

Incense (there's a wide variety and easy to make yourself, may be more potent than white sage alone so i would use incense. all you need is makko powder and essential oils and a stick to wrap it all up in)

Essential oils

Black Salt

White Salt

Mugwort

White Willow Bark

Acorns

Cinnamon Sticks

really it all comes down to what you correspond what to what. rosemary can almost totally replace white sage. lets leave the sacred herbs to who they actually belong to.

Let's Talk About Food: 20 Latin Words and Their Italian Equivalents For Food

The influence of language on Italian gastronomy is profound and multifaceted, reflecting Italy's rich culinary history and its linguistic roots in Latin. The evolution of food-related language in Italy can be traced back to its Latin origins, showcasing how language and cuisine are deeply intertwined.

Latin Influence on Italian Culinary Terms:

Many Italian culinary terms derive directly from Latin, reflecting the historical and cultural continuity from the Roman era to modern Italy. These terms often carry more than just a linguistic legacy; they embody the culinary traditions and practices that have been passed down through generations.

Evolution of Food-Related Language:

The evolution of food-related language in Italy also mirrors the country's historical interactions, including trade and conquests, which introduced new ingredients and cooking techniques. These interactions often led to the adoption and adaptation of new words into the Italian culinary lexicon.

Let's explore some notable Latin words and their Italian equivalents related to food:

Latin: "Panis" (bread) Italian: "Pane"

Latin: "Vīnum" (wine) Italian: "Vino"

Latin: "Olea" (olive) Italian: "Oliva"

Latin: "Caseus" (cheese) Italian: "Formaggio"

Latin: "Caro, Carnis" (meat) Italian: "Carne"

Latin: "Piscis" (fish) Italian: "Pesce"

Latin: "Frūctus" (fruit) Italian: "Frutto"

Latin: "Lactuca" (lettuce) Italian: "Lattuga"

Latin: "Mēl" (honey) Italian: "Miele"

Latin: "Ovum" (egg) Italian: "Uovo"

Latin: "Piper" (pepper) Italian: "Pepe"

Latin: "Sāl" (salt) Italian: "Sale"

Latin: "Allium" (garlic) Italian: "Aglio"

Latin: "Pīra" (pear) Italian: "Pera"

Latin: "Māla" (apple) Italian: "Mela"

Latin: "Cucumis" (cucumber) Italian: "Cetriolo"

Latin: "Pulmentum" (porridge, food) Italian: "Polenta"

Latin: "Acetum" (vinegar) Italian: "Aceto"

Latin: "Fābā" (bean) Italian: "Fava"

Latin: "Hordeum" (barley) Italian: "Orzo"

These examples illustrate the direct lineage of Italian culinary terminology from Latin, showcasing how the language has not only influenced but also preserved historical eating habits and food traditions. This linguistic heritage is a testament to the enduring impact of Roman culture on Italian cuisine and reflects the broader cultural and historical narratives of Italy.

[ugly-by-nature]

You’ve probably discovered that conventional #medicine has little to offer the bleary-eyed sufferer. Over-the-counter remedies such as aspirin, and even prescription drugs, only suppress symptoms; they don’t cure the illness or make you well any faster. While antihistamines dry sinuses, they can also irritate your nose and throat and prolong the infection. As for antibiotics, including penicillin, they don’t target viruses at all and should only be prescribed if a bacterial infection follows the cold or #flu. Simply suppressing symptoms can impair your body’s natural ability to fend off disease. Symptoms tell you what’s wrong and what to do about it. Headaches, sore muscles and feeling tired indicate that you need rest, and fever or indigestion is a sign to eat lightly. Herbal treatments help your body heal itself and boost natural immunity. Among the #herbs that have already been found to inhibit viruses, including the flu, are lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus). Also packing an antiviral punch are rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), peppermint (Mentha ¥piperita) and teatree (Melaleuca alternifolia). All of these herbs also foil bacteria responsible for infections of the throat, lungs, sinuses, ears and eyes that often tag on the heels of a cold or flu. In addition, they relax coughing spasms, aid digestion, and lower a fever by encouraging circulation and sweating. Tannin compounds found in other herbs such as white oak bark (Quercus alba) and bayberry (Myrica cerifera) destroy flu and other types of viruses, so it’s no wonder they are traditional cold and flu treatments. You can even eat your way to good health by seasoning your food with garlic (Allium sativum), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), marjoram (Origanum majorana), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and black pepper (Piper nigrum) to eradicate viral and bacterial infections. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is not only antiviral, it also lowers fevers and reduces muscle soreness. Source: https://ift.tt/2i4kpnN . . . . . https://ift.tt/2P14KYv

In the present review special emphasis is placed on Indian medicinal plants reported for antiviral, immunomodulatory and anti allergic anti inflammatory activities and they are categorized for prioritization in research on the basis of earlier reports. The formulation is made of four herbs Ocimum sanctum L. leaves, Cinnamomum verum J. Presl. stem barks, Zingiber officinale Roscoe rhizomes and Piper nigrum L. fruits. These herbs are reported to boost immunity and are active remedies to various viral diseases. Samshamani vati is made of aqueous extract of Tinospora cordifolia Willd. Miers family Menispermaceae , and reported to be an immunomodulator. Ethanolic extracts of N. sativa seeds demonstrated antiviral properties by decreasing viral load, alpha fetoprotein, and improved liver function parameters. The leaves of neem A. indica , a popular Indian plant, is traditionally boiled and consumed for treatment of fever. As post COVID 19 complications remains a new field of study at present, investigation on long term safety profile and pharmacokinetics of potential medicinal plants can be beneficial. Crude extract or pure compounds isolated from medicinal plants and or herbs such as Artemisia annua, Agastache rugosa, Astragalus membranaceus, Cassia alata, Ecklonia cava, Gymnema sylvestre, Glycyrrhizae uralensis, Houttuynia cordata, Lindera aggregata, Lycoris radiata, Mollugo cerviana, Polygonum multiflorum, Pyrrosia lingua, Saposhnikoviae divaricate, Tinospora cordifolia etc. have shown promising inhibitory effect against coronavirus. Medicinal plants and natural products are still considered promising alternatives to prevent or treat several diseases. Since the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic in December 2019, various traditional herbal medicines have been used and resulted in positive health effects among COVID 19 patients. A total of 60 species of medicinal plants from 36 families and 54 genera were documented as being perceived. Among them, the most common families were Apiaceae 6 species , Zingiberaceae 4 species , Amaryllidaceae 4 species and Lamiaceae 4species . And most common genus were Allium 3 species , Terminalia 2 species , Mentha 2 species , Cinnamomum 2 species , and Syzygium. Likewise, the most perceived species was Zingiber officinale 39.79 followed by Curcuma angustifolia 34.11 . The habit analysis showed that the medicinal plants belonging to herb, shrub, climber, and tree species were 56.67 , 11.67 , 6.67 , and 25 respectively. Leaves 33.68 were the most predominantly used parts, followed by seeds 23.33 , fruits 21.67 , roots 13.33 , rhizomes 11.67 , whole plant 8.33 , bark 6.67 stem 1.67 , and bulb 1.67 . The most commonly used method of preparations was to grind the parts, boil with hot water or milk, and drink.

The End of the Rockstar

Chai's finally made it in the world. He has a good job at Vandelay Technologies. It's enabled him to achieve his dream of being a rockstar. He has good friends, good pay, a good place to live...it's everything he could ask for and more!

But something's...wrong. Things keep breaking down. People are starting to act different. Someone—several someones, in fact—keep tampering with things. Not to mention how they keep trying to "get through" to Chai. Whatever that means. They're just getting in the way.

Whatever it is that they want...Chai won't let them ruin everything for his friends, for the company, for him. No matter what it takes.

Chapter 1 Just Sing Along

A (relatively) regular day for Chai.

Pantry Herbalism for Cold and Flu Support: Free eBook

How many weeks have we been sheltering in place? We may be losing track of time, but it’s impossible to lose track of our once well-stocked apothecaries!

If you’re biting your nails worried about your dwindling herbal preparations and the current status of the herbal marketplace, then this ebook is for you! In our FREE Pantry Herbalism ebook, you’ll find monographs and recipes for spices, foods, and backyard herbs that you likely already have at home. By using the ingredients already nestled safely in your cabinets, you will eliminate the need for a costly—and often delayed or unavailable—bulk herb order. 

Download the Pantry Herbalism for Cold and Flu Support eBook. 

3 Parts of the Pantry Herbalism eBook

Common Kitchen Spices

Herbs and spices have been tossed, pinched, and dashed into simmering pots and pans across the world from time immemorial. Many of these plants owe their inviting aromas and flavors to their volatile oil content, which may not only aid in digestion, but also improve circulation, promote diaphoresis (perspiration), ward off pathogens, and assist the body in dispelling mucus.

Our Pantry Herbalism ebook covers these four common spices, along with simple recipes for how to use each one. 

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is used in formulas by Western herbalists to both ward off and support the clearance of colds and the flu. 

Recipe: Black Pepper Honey

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is much more than a tomato sauce ingredient! This easy-to-grow herb is rich in volatile oils, giving it powerful expectorant, antimicrobial, and diaphoretic properties.

 Recipe: Oregano Respiratory Support Steam

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) has long been favored by Western herbalists as a go-to herb for breathing difficulties and to support resolution of colds, the flu, and other lower and upper respiratory tract infections. What a fantastic ally for this time in history! 

Recipe: Kitchen Spices Cough Syrup

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) has a long history of use across the globe for various respiratory complaints, including asthma, acute respiratory infections, chronic bronchitis, and tuberculosis. 

Learn more about each of these common spices and access the recipes by downloading the FREE Pantry Herbalism for Cold and Flu Support eBook. 

From the Pantry 

Fruits and vegetables from our pantry can be just as supportive and beneficial as the spices in our cabinet—plus, they taste delicious! Transform your grocery store into an impromptu apothecary by learning which common foods have antiviral benefits and historical uses.

Our Pantry Herbalism ebook covers these four common foods, along with simple recipes for using each one. 

Citrus (Citrus spp.) fruits have substantial volatile oil content (evident if you’ve ever been squirted in the eye while peeling an orange!), which contribute to the antimicrobial and expectorant qualities of citrus peel. 

Recipe: Lemon and Honey Electrolyte Water.

Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used for at least 5,000 years as a food and an herb, and it is one of the most well-researched herbs to date. Among its host of benefits, garlic is immunostimulant, expectorant, and antimicrobial, and provides excellent support during the first stages of a cold or the flu! 

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a warming herb with a fiery nature. By stimulating circulation and energy, it enhances the “fire” in the body that supports not only immunity, but also digestion. 

Onion (Allium cepa) has been employed in various traditions around the world for colds, coughs, bronchitis, asthma, and fever.

Learn more about each of these supportive foods and access the recipes by downloading the FREE Pantry Herbalism for Cold and Flu Support eBook. 

From the Wild

Like kitchen herbs and spices, many wild plants walk the line between edible and herbal, providing the necessary nutrients we need for the proper functioning of our bodies and thus helping them to find balance, while also providing various herbal actions. Many of our most potent wild allies are available in the spring, and this is the perfect time to harvest and prepare them for daily use as well as specific respiratory support.

Our Pantry Herbalism ebook covers these three accessible wild herbs, along with a recipe for Forager’s Syrup which combines the three botanicals into a delicious blend to help boost the immune system. 

Pine (Pinus spp.) needles and resin can help to thin or break up congested mucus and move it out of the body. It’s considered a stimulating expectorant ideal for a stuck, wet cough.

Violet (Viola spp.) makes a lovely tea, vinegar, or syrup that’s rich in vitamin C and can help soothe respiratory symptoms.

Plantain (Plantago spp.) is a powerful ally for lung health, helping to soothe inflamed and irritated airways.

Learn more about each of these supportive foods and access the recipes by downloading the FREE Pantry Herbalism for Cold and Flu Support eBook. 

Being a well-rounded herbalist means making the most of the supplies you have on hand!

Please enjoy the numerous ideas from this ebook for using everyday kitchen herbs and spices (and a few wild ones, too)! You just might find that these herbs and simple recipes become your new favorite go-to’s to support yourself in the cold and flu (respiratory, too) season.

Nigerian govt directs NAFDAC to assess herbal mixture as possible COVID-19 treatment

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has been directed to carry out necessary procedures for the assessment of a plant-based cough mixture as a possible treatment for COVID-19.

The permanent secretary in the ministry of health, Mashi Abdullahi, issued the directive in a memo with REF no. TCAM/077/I/65 addressed to the director-general of NAFDAC, Mojisola Adeyeye.

The memo, dated April 28, 2020, was titled ‘Formulation of a Phyto-Medicine-Based Cough Mixture/Syrup for the Management of COVID-19 Patients by Traditional, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine Department of the Ministry’.

Nigeria is not the first country to consider herbal medicine as an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients.

Last Month, the Madagascan president, Andry Rajoelina, launched a herbal remedy that he said could prevent and cure patients infected with the virus. Countries like Tanzania, Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, and the Republic of Congo have indicated interest in the herbal remedy.

The minister of health, Osagie Ehanire, on Wednesday, said the local medicines in Nigeria had not been tested and could be poisonous.

He said all herbal medicines must go through the research cycle to ensure they are not toxic.

He noted that “no COVID-19 patients will be released to herbal practitioners to test the efficacy of their drugs, such drugs will first be tested on animals before it can be certified.”

Memo in full

“As you are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic is currently ravaging the world with no definite treatment or vaccine.

“This has necessitated countries to look for solutions from within and Nigeria is no exception. It is worthy to note that Nigeria is blessed with medicinal plants which could be exploited.

“It is heartwarming to note that the Department of TCAM has taken the pains to research into scientific materials to come up with a formulation intended for the management of cough in COVID-19 and other cough-related infections.”

“The formulation is a Cov-herbal cough mixture. Interestingly, all the ingredients that make up the formulations are medicinal plants that are widely used as food materials and medicines.

“They include Allium sativa (garlic); Allium cepa (onions); Zingiber officinale (ginger): Piper guineense (West African Black Pepper); and Adansonia digitata (baobab fruit). The innovation here is the composition of the formulation.

“These medicinal plants have documented scientific evidence of long use for the management of cough and other respiratory infections, with medicinal properties of mucoIytic, antitussive, expectorant, soothing, demulcent, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects.

“The ministry is determined to walk the talk in the promotion and integration of herbal medicine into the health care delivery system.

“In view of the foregoing and the desire of the ministry to showcase to the public a product that is 100 per cent sourced locally, you are requested to carry out the necessary procedures for listing.

“The ministry will contract the packaging of the product to some identified pharmaceutical companies. Find attached scientific pieces of evidence of the products end labelling for your information end necessary action,” he said.
