 Malik, thank you for this. We all needed it. You gotta visit the National Parks. Whole nother level of frolic, like frolic on God's best works kinda frolic. ❤️□❤️□  Herb a day campaign :
Cat’s Claw Uncaria tomentosa Cats claw comes from the Amazon Rain forest. It is used in many countries in South and Central America. Traditionally the herb is used to reduce inflammation. It helps to produce a healthy inflammatory response in joints and surrounding areas in manifestations of arthritis, both osteo and rheumatoid. Cats claw also has a very positive effect on the immune system. It is a modulator. So, if the immune system needs to be boosted up it can help with this. Conversely, if we need to calm it down (like in cases of Rheumatoid arthritis) it has that ability as well. I love herbs that produce homeostasis in the body. They just get in there and help in what ever way we need them to. Such infinite wisdom. Cats claw has also been shown to help in DNA repair as well as protecting our DNA against damage. So, this herb helps to bolster the the integrity of our genetic blueprints. Cat’s Claw also helps to regulate normal cell division in our bodies. It is thought it does this by balancing certain immune system cytokines. This is big. One of the scariest problems we have is rouge cells that don’t divide and act normally. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Cats Claw is used for high blood pressure. There is an alkaloid in this plant called Hirsutine. It’s performs like a calcium channel blocker. Calcium channel blockers block calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessel. This relaxes blood vessels to allow more blood flow to take place. Many people use Cat’s Claw for inflammations in the G.I. tract. So, if someone is suffering from symptoms of Colitis, Gastritis, IBS, and evening Peptic Ulcers, this herb might just help to soothe these inflamed tissues and promote the healing they need. It can also be used externally to heal wounds. Herbs are so versatile, they amaze me every day. I feel like having access to Cat’s Claw would be a super smart thing. Put it in your Herb Cabinet. If you don’t have an herb cabinet, get one. It’s time to make sure you can take care of yourself and others. #catsclaw #herbs #herbadaycampaign #dustigregory #herbalist #dallasherbalist #dallaslife #masterherbalist  This is me.

This is A Japanese concept that means doing what you love. What is your reason to wake up? To get up? To face the day? We all have our reasons. We all have our Ikigai.  Herb a day campaign : Arnica. Arnica montana Arnica flowers are our friends in the summer. Usually people are out moving around more. Using their body more. Trying to become more fit and as a result of that, healthier. But, when you’re working out hard and using your body more than the usual, you can have the tendency to get sore. That’s where this beautiful little flower enters scene. Arnica really helps with reducing pain, swelling , and inflammation. It’s not just exercise that it works on either. It is great for trauma caused from accidents or even surgery. There are a couple ways she is of use here. First, Arnica helps to prevent platelets from gathering at the sight of the trauma. This action helps to reduce the pain and swelling. Prostaglandins are active lipid compounds that control the processes of inflammation, blood flow, and the formation of clots too. If the body has the help to regulate the prostaglandins then there can be less tissue damage. Less damage means faster and more efficient body healing. Studies also show that if you use arnica before physical assertion or even surgery then the body reduces the prostaglandin effect before it even begins. I’ve been working out hard. Harder than I ever have in my life. My body is like whattttt are you doingggg, Dusti?!?! I’ve been feeling muscles I didn’t even know I had. I’ve also been using Arnica gel to soothe my body and help with the healing and fatigue I feel. It lets me recoup and heal before my next session. If you’re out there moving around or falling around then try some arnica and see how it does you. You can make your own oil or salve or cream if you like to do that or even get the homeopathic gels and creams.
