Garden note
Garden was and was not many things this time around. It does continue. But a true miracle, how it healed my toes. To spare the gory details, bad things happened to my toes over the winter. Most probably from the "most probably Reynaud's Syndrome" coupled with wearing two pairs of socks in boots. boots because of RAIN. the Incessant Rain. They were painful to the slightest touch, skin peeling off, toenails wierd. And as Spring planting came on, squatting and kneeling, my attention kept being called to the Plantain that has always grown there, along the edges of the dug beds. Being weed, had come by Its Self, both Wide and Narrow Leaf. and as it goes….a mindless cruise around YouTube one night offered the Medicinal Uses of it.
and it WAS truly miraculous. Daily i chewed a couple leaves. just enough to release the juices, wrapped the pulp around each toe in its turn, rubbing gently. Brought a couple leaves back with me and repeated every night. The relief was almost immediate. This coupled with the Heals All salve that Gentle Day Cynthia had sent me….the release from captivity of socks and boots, and of course, the WARM weather for bare or closest to bare feet.
I don't know how things will go this "winter"…but my feet will be cold again, the socks and boots necessary. I'll need to do things differently. But i do have this experience, i do have my Relationship with Plantain. Huge, Huge Gratitude.
it grows almost Everywhere. Look for it around your house and remember to try it. Insect bites too. Any skin irritation. It loves people.
