Observation by lseleen on iNaturalist
A yellow jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) flower that fell from somewhere higher up, and just so happened to land perfectly on this honeysuckle vine, so it looks like it's coming from this vine. I just thought it was funny.
Tumblr media
[ID: A photograph of a honeysuckle ving climbing a tree, with a slightly fuzzy brown stem, and dark green leaves that are curled slightly, emerging in clusters. Atop one cluster is a yellow, trumpet shaped flower from a yellow-jessamine vine. Some mostly bare tree branches and a blue sky are visible in the background. End ID.]

Theory on that Crimson Jimson-Weed;
So I was re-watching "To Catch a Leaf" like any good Sandy-fan when I recognised the name of the flower (Crimson Jimsonweed/Scarlet Mandala flower) being something I encountered in my horticulture/pharma studies;
Tumblr media
You see, Jimsonweed is another name for Datura - a super-toxic nightshade flower known for it's psychoactive effects that was occasionally used in traditional Chinese medicine. A few seeds or leaves is enough to send someone into days-long potentially fatal delirium. Monk in India particularly used it to induce horror/madness in order to have a better understanding of the world.
My first thought was; "Why tf would Sandy reccomend a flower that's like a million acid trips in one?" and second "Why did LBD need it?"
According to Sandy the Crimson Jimsonweed can "influence mortality itself" - something that would be very useful if your opponent is someone who's pretty protective of their immortality. NO wonder why LBD was pissed. Huntsman "only" taking a single petal could have saved the gang's lives in the long run.
And I thought: "Cool!"
And then I was researching an au idea/theory @dorothygale123 brought up about "Shennong/The Flame Emperor/Divine Peasant" having connections to the Demon Bull King and Red Son; only to read how he (a primordial god of fire and medicine) died;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You see, after he retired/lost the godly throne, Shennong decided to put his brain and super-durable/transparent stomach to use and self-experiment on himself and document the results. He apparently got poisoned quite a lot in his research (he also discovered many ways to get high) to classify all plant life.
Ultimately Shennong died after eating a "small yellow flower" and being unable to find an antidote or "clean out his instestine" in time. Kind of a sad but expected end to the chinese mythos version of the first farmer-scientist. A rule of medicine is that anything that can heal can also kill at a certain dosage.
But the flower that killed him is up for debate. The book I have suggests it to be "Intestine-Breaking/Heartbreak Grass"(Gelsemium sempervirens). This Oxford paper suggests Tansy, an old treatment for worms. But a common theme is that the "flower of a weed" was the cause.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After my research into Jimsonweed and it's connections to mortality in Buddhism I must suggest a hidden culpurit;
This could be my mild red-colourblindness acting up; but The flower we see throughout the "To Catch a Leaf" is gotdamn yellow.
Tumblr media
The flower that can "influence mortality itself" would be the perfect candiate for what killed the legendary Divine Peasant.
Makes sense why Sandy decided to instead brew a very small part of it into tea for MK. He likely read Shennong's research and realised that this super-rare variant of Jimsonweed *was* an amazing tonic... in the right dosage of course. Hence why Sandy didn't feed MK the whole flower.

🌜🌸 Homemade Lunar Jasmine Tea 🌸🌛
Hello lovelies 🥰
I was picking some jasmine flowers under the new moon today and decided to turn it into a little demonstration of how I make my lunar jasmine tea at home! ✨
Tumblr media
Ingredients:
Cleansed jar or other sealable container 🧂
Fresh Jasmine flowers 🌸
Loose green or black tea (Camellia sinensis) 🌿 
Magical Properties of Jasmine:
Element Associations: Water + Earth
Planetary Associations: Moon + Jupiter
Astrological Associations: Capricorn + Pisces
Chakra Associations: Crown + Soul Star
Energy: Feminine/Receptive
Magical Properties: Love Spells, Prosperity Spells, Dream Magic, Psychic Development, Happiness Charms
Healing Properties: Jasmine can be used to calm nerves, depression, and insomnia as the scent is naturally uplifting and calming
Botanical Name: Jasminum
Tumblr media
Making Your Tea
You’ll want to make sure your fresh jasmines are of the Jasminum species; common ones include J. officinale, J. sambac, or J. polyanthum. 
Pick your jasmine flowers during the warmth of the day after any dew has dried, pluck as buds or freshly opened flowers for extra freshness and flavour. 
NOTE:  Please make sure you do not use “star jasmine/confederate jasmine/jessamine” (Trachelospermum jasminoides) or “Carolina jessamine” (Gelsemium sempervirens) as these are toxic!
Here are my lovely blossoms 🌸
Tumblr media
In your cleansed jar, pour around an inch layer of your preferred loose leaf tea. You can choose your tea depending on their magical properties;
Black Tea: Courage, strength, wealth, banishing, energy, stability, death, and alertness.
Green Tea: Passion, healing, sexual health, love, energy, longevity, immortality, and cleansing.
For an added magical kick, activate your ingredients as you place them by reminding them of their required properties. ✨
Tumblr media
Now add a layer of your freshly picked jasmines over your layer of tea, and repeat the process with another layer of tea until you’ve filled your jar to your liking.
For best results, apply some weight to your prepared layers for a few weeks until the jasmine flowers have fully dried and their essence has infused into the tea leaves. 
And that’s it! You’ve just made your very own handmade lunar jasmine tea ready to revitalise your senses and get you reconnected with your feminine side🌸🌛 
Tumblr media
This is one of my personal favourite drinks to make while I’m practicing divination and doing your Tarot Readings. I really recommend you try this out if the ingredients are easily available to you, and get creative with other edible flowers! 🌸
I hope this inspires someone to start making your own teas and experiment more with kitchen magic 🥰

With love, from a Sappy Witch 🔮💕
Blessed be. 🕊✨

How Homeopathy Can Boost Your Immune System?
Tumblr media
Maintaining a healthy diet, proper rest, and regular exercise might not suffice to enhance your immune system, especially in today's polluted environment. Conventional medicines target symptoms, whereas homeopathic treatments stimulate your immune system. If you're seeking extra support, read this article to learn how homeopathic stores in Surrey can assist you. 
Why Do Humans Need a Proper Immune Function?
If you're dealing with a short-term or long-term illness, it's important to enhance and sustain your immune system. It would be best to take medicine from homeopathic stores in Surrey to boost your immune system without causing medication side effects.
Why Should You Choose Homeopathy?
Homeopathy strengthens the body's immune system instead of directly neutralizing infections, focusing on detoxifying the body to address the underlying cause of the immune system weakening. It targets toxicity in the liver, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes, crucial components of the immune defence.
Homeopathic medicines, often in sweet pill or liquid form, are a more palatable option for children compared to conventional tablets. They effectively address issues related to compromised immune systems in infants, restoring appetite, promoting growth, and controlling opportunistic infections.
Homeopathy shows positive results across all age groups, including infants, with no reported side effects. It efficiently reduces viral loads and provides an effective solution for patients of all ages, supporting overall health and growth in infants.
Homeopathic Remedies to Boost Your Immune System
Boost your immune system with these top homeopathic remedies:
Allium Cepa
This remedy, derived from red onion, effectively tackles nasal congestion and teary eyes. It's an ideal solution for enhancing immunity against colds and influenza.
Gelsemium
Derived from the vine gelsemium sempervirens, this remedy is beneficial for treating flu and cold symptoms. It boosts immunity, alleviating body aches and reducing fever.
Oscillococcinuim
Known as Oscillo, Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic medicine containing duck liver and duck heart. Take it on the first day of flu symptoms to strengthen your immune system against germs causing colds and related conditions.
There isn't a dedicated homeopathic medicine solely for boosting immunity. Purchasing medicines from homeopathic stores will help you treat specific conditions, enhancing immunity against the targeted issues. Always consult a specialized homeopath before starting any medication.
Contact Us!
If you want to improve your immune system, consider getting medicines from homeopathic stores in Surrey. To get professional guidance, get in touch with us at AGGARWAL HEALTH & WELLNESS.

Carolina Jessamine is a Bright, Colorful Wildflower
Lustrous Jessamine I was very pleasantly surprised when I found this Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) blooming on my last hike near Watermelon Pond. This is generally an early springtime flower and I suspect it had simply started to bloom a little early. At that point, we had been having pretty mild winter weather (and we still are), so the plant may have felt like it was spring.…

What is Homeopathic Medicine?
Homeopathic Medicine is a form of alternative medicine that first came to fruition in Germany over 200 years ago. It's basis is on two principles:
"Like cures like" - or the idea that substances that produce positive symptoms in healthy humans will produce similar symptoms in those with disease.
"Law of minimum dose" - or the idea that the lower the dose of a substance, the greater effectiveness it will have. Homeopathic medicine is often diluted (with this logic in mind.
Tumblr media
Although homeopathic medicine is often seen as controversial since its efficacy beyond context cannot be proven (placebo effect anyone?), there may be potential in certain natural remedies to decrease symptoms such as anxiety and fear in rodents, and potentially humans.
Tumblr media
Gelsemium sempervirens:
Gelsemium sempervirens may sound like Latin jargon for a Harry Potter magic potion, but in actuality it is a twining evergreen vine! According to Materia Medica, Gelsemium sempervirens can treat various symptoms associated with discomfort in new and unfamiliar situations, such as anxiety and fear. Not many studies have been conducted on this, and for this reason, Bellavite et al. decided to test this compound in comparison with conventional medicines such as diazepam in their study titled "Homeopathic Doses of Gelsemium sempervirens Improve the Behavior of Mice in Response to Novel Environments."
Tumblr media
Overall Study Design:
For this study, 4-5 week old male mice were used and separated into different injection groups: centesimal dilutions of G. sempervirens, the reference drug diazepam, or a placebo solvent vehicle. G. sempervirens was supplied and prepared by Boiron Laboratories, a French homeopathic product company.
G. sempervirens and the control vehicle (placebo) were administered intraperitoneally everyday for 9 days at 9 a.m. The last two days of the 9 day period were designated for behavioral tests such as the Light Dark and Open Field Tests. During these 2 days mice still received treatment. Mice belonging to the benzodiazepine standard treatment group were similarly injected with the control solution for the 9 day period, and on testing days, the control solution was supplemented with diazepam, a conventional medicine prescribed for anxiety.
Diazepam
Diazepam is an oral medication often prescribed to treat anxiety, withdrawal symptoms associated with alcohol use, seizures, and muscle spasms. Diazepam is classified as a Benzodiazepine, which is classified as a depressant and sedative drug. What can be problematic about Benzodiazepines is that they have a potential of being addictive to vulnerable populations. Although the addictive nature behind benzodiazepines has not yet been elucidated, it is thought that this class of drug increases the firing rate of dopamine (DA) neurons of the ventral segmental area (VTA) through mechanisms positively modulating GABAa receptors in nearby interneurons. Addiction has been tied to increased DA and affects the mesolimbic reward pathway. A study by Tan et al. discovered that Benzodiazepines share similar characteristics to addictive substances through cell-type specific expression of alpha1-containing GABAaRs located within the VTA. 
Tumblr media
Additional side effects of diazepam in particular include paranoia, suicidal thoughts, impaired memory, coordination, judgement calls, and breathing issues. For patients with anxiety, some may have a higher risk of suicidal ideation, and for this reason, it is important to consider what medications are given and what side effects may be especially harmful.
For this reason, it may be beneficial to research into less addictive substances as a treatment method for anxiety disorders. In comparison to benzodiazepines such as diazepam, homeopathic medicine, derived from natural plants, vines, and herbs might be a novel treatment option for those with a family history of addiction.
Results - LD Choice
Tumblr media
LD Test: The LD test, or Light Dark Test, is a behavioral assessment conducted based on the rodent's natural aversion to bright light. Typically, control mice will scurry away from lighted areas into the dark portion of the test box. Mice displaying anxiolytic behavior on the other hand, will show higher time spent in the lighted area and in the transitional area located between the light and dark compartments.
Tumblr media
This study found that the mean time spent by the control group (placebo-treated) animals in the illuminated area was 15.98%. they found that for mice treated with G. sempervirens it was 18.11% (non-significant). Diazepam instead significantly increased the mean time spent in the illuminated compartment to 19.91% (P = .047) (Bellavite et al. 2011). In regards to transition numbers between light and dark compartments, the study found that there was very small increase in the G sempervirens administered group, while there was a significant rise in the diazepam treated group from a mean of 6.19 (control) to 9.64 (Bellavite et al. 2011).
Results - OF Exploration
Tumblr media
OF Exploration: The OF test, otherwise known as the Open Field Test, is a behavioral assessment in which you place a mouse into an unfamiliar environment to observe different aspects of behavior such as exploratory and emotional behavior. The percentage of time spent in the central zone of the Open Field can be associated with exploratory behavior and lower anxiety levels. The tendency to stay on the edges of the field is called thigmotaxis, and is often considered an indicator of highly emotional behavior.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This study found that the placebo-treated control animal group spent 6.34% of the time in the center of the OF arena, while the G. sempervirens treated group spent an increased amount of time in the central zone of the Open Field: 7.86% (P = .009) (Bellavite et al. 2011). The action of diazepam in this test was found to be completely ineffective. The study additionally found that there was a positive effect of G sempervirens treatment on distance travelled in the central zone by the mice. The mean increased from 589.9 to 738.9 cm (P = .003) (Bellavite et al. 2011).
Tumblr media
Hypothetical Mechanism of G. sempervirens
Tumblr media
So how does G. sempervirens actually work from a neurological level? A previous study conducted by Venard et al. in 2007 found that G. sempervirens principal component Gelsemine enhances allopregnanolone neurosteroid enzymatic synthesis. Allopregnanolone, produced by progesterone, is an active stimulator of GABAa, 5HT, and nicotinic Ach receptors, and therefore has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, reducing the impulse generation in postsynaptic neurons. By refining inhibitory transmission through the glycinergic system and allopregnanolone synthesis, G. sempervirens may help the nervous system adapt to adverse and unfamiliar situations (Venard et al. 2008).
Applications to Medicine
Tumblr media
The Bellavite et al. study ultimately investigated the effects of Gelsemium sempervirens, a homeopathic remedy derived from evergreen vine, on certain behavior of mice, using two models that allow the expression of various “symptoms” of emotional responses, influenced by emotional states of fear, curiosity or anxiety. This was a very interesting study and allowed for a comprehensive profile of behavior in response to adverse or unfamiliar environments and stimuli which can cause anxiety and fear responses.
Tumblr media
This study shows that despite the controversy and skepticism of homeopathic medicine, doses of G. sempervirens can positively influence the emotional responses of mice to new environments, promoting exploratory behavior and suggesting a decrease in thigmotaxis. (Bellavite et al. 2011). It may be an effective treatment option for treating anxiety, and may have less harmful side effects compared to typical medication prescribed!
