More from the gravel bars and mudflats, a type of riparian ecosystem of the Little Miami pt 2

Mimulus ringens, previous post had the other common species in this, these pictures show just how much larger the peduncle is comparative.

In a patch of Korean hops lies an introduced naturalized species known as Galinsoga quadriradiata or the shaggy soldier. (on broken bar)

Phyla lanceolata, lance leaf fog fruit , If your from Ohio we call it Frog Fruit; a native species perfect for bioswale planting and riparian restoration. Great stabilizer.

in the mudflat, Plantago rugelii (fairly sure based off of red base) or the floppy red based broad leaf plantain. If you find a plantain in a mudflat, it usually is stick like or narrow leaved with really unique flower structure that is more bristly looking on average, these tend to be our natives, Heartleaf is more of a gravel scour and flat wet wood species. Much like heart leaf, rugel's also has a broadleaf compared to the rest of the wet loving species. The base of this plant were barely red and the flower morphology was very bristle like is why I think the ID is correct, plus the niche affiliation; with this said, the P. major is also a generalist and can have red when stressed by summer heat on it's petioles so it would of been better to go off of the bulb like base instead of the intuition while kabrewing on the Little Miami. The other way to tell is that the ovules stick more erect.

Alisma spp. or rather I think it's A. triviale is a common mudflat species that can take longer partial submersion but doesn't like extended turbulence. Heart leaved small flowered northern water plantain.

DEEP BREATH OSHA AND ECHINACEA SYRUP RECIPE

By Heather Saba

A go-to urban herbalism recipe is the Deep Breath Osha and Echinacea Syrup Recipe below. This formula can be used for acute lung support or as a daily preventative and immune-booster.

Although cities are full of exciting opportunities, culture, and entertainment, their industrial nature creates a polluted environment with compromised air quality. While the exact air quality varies depending on the city you live in, it’s important to take extra measures to keep your lung health in good shape and prevent deeper pollution-related issues from taking root.

Deep Breath Osha and Echinacea Syrup Recipe

Plantain (Plantago major) leaf lends soothing support for the mucous membranes of the bronchial system while helping quell inflamed tissues triggered by pollutants in the air.

Osha (Ligusticum porteri) root also carries an affinity for the lungs and throat, helping promote a healthy bacterial state in the respiratory system while serving as an expectorant for stagnant mucus (Holmes, 1989a). Remember to always ensure that your osha root was ethically wildcrafted (Sustainable Herbs, 2019) when sourcing.

Echinacea (Echinacea spp.) root and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) aerial parts complement the formula by providing deep and more broad-spectrum immune system support and viral support respectively (Holmes, 1989a; Holmes, 1989b).

Deep Breath Osha and Echinacea Syrup Recipe

This herbal syrup recipe is an effective at home and on-the-go support for the lungs. Yield: approx. 1 quart

Ingredients

0.5 part plantain (Plantago major) leaf 1 part osha (Ligusticum porteri) root 1 part echinacea (Echinacea spp.) root 0.25 part thyme (Thymus vulgaris) leaf 1 quart of cool water 1 to 2 cups of honey or sugar

Directions

Start by combining the hard roots (osha and echinacea) together in equal parts in a measuring cup until the mixture equals about 1/2 cup total. Add this mixture to a pot with the cool water.

Combine the plantain and thyme together in a measuring cup until the mixture equals about 1/4 cup total. Set this mixture aside until later in the recipe.

Bring the pot with the root mixture and water to a simmer then cover the pot partially with a lid.

Allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.

Remove the pot from the heat then add the plantain and thyme mixture to the pot.

Cover the pot fully with the lid and allow the leaves to steep for 1-2 hours.

Strain out all of the herbs then return the liquid to the pot.

Add the honey or sugar to the liquid in the pot.

Take the syrup off the heat and pour it into clean, sterile glass bottles. You can store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Enjoy 1/2 teaspoon, 1 time per day for preventative lung support, or 1 teaspoon, 2 times per day for acute lung support.

If using honey: heat the mixture very gently without boiling the syrup until the honey is just dissolved. This helps the naturally occurring enzymes in the honey to be preserved!

If using sugar: either heat the syrup just enough to dissolve the sugar (if you prefer a thinner syrup) or bring the syrup to a gentle boil and simmer for an extra 30 minutes (if you prefer a thicker syrup).

In Closing,

Boost the air quality in your home and workspace (if possible) using an essential oil diffuser, particulate air filter, and occasional herbal incense burning.

A lot is going on in these two pictures but the right picture is my favorite out of the two. My first time seeing Plantago rugellii in person, it’s supposed to be common but P. major was often reported and noted down as P. rugellii, so im not sure if it’s rare or common. Here is the map for the toothed broad leaf plantain, the other species P. major can be lobed but the lobes are round and the leaf is usually entire. The other species in the second picture that was really cool is a riparian creeping Rubus spp. that looks like a Virginia creeper vine at first glance until you see prickles! Rubus rivularis, I only know it from one other site in Ohio along the Ohio River in Clermont(only place in Ohio known). So double wammy for sure. Below is map for P. rugellii

Common Plantain (from Lamiales)

Common Plantain (Plantago spp) is one of the most common and vigorous imported European weeds across the Americas. Like mint, rosemary, and sage, it is from the order Lamiales, members of which typically have five fused petals and bilaterally symmetrical corollas (corollas are the whorl of flower petals considered collectively). See the angiosperm phylogeny to locate Lamiales.

Plantains have thick-stemmed leaves with prominent veins. The small greenish flowers grow on erect spikes. A single plant can produce over 10,000 seeds in one year, many of which can remain viable for over half a century, explaining in part the species’ colonization success in the Americas.

Plantain greens can be eaten raw or cooked, but have traditionally been used for medicinal properties, particularly because of their anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial compounds.

Magickal Folk Names for Herbs

Having knowledge of herbs and plants (either magically or medicinally) during the Middle Ages, often was reason enough to accuse a woman of being a "witch,” so there is no doubt some of the country folk at the time took these herbal folk names literal.  Chances are, these names were used merely as descriptors to help remember them easier.  Most plants were given names descriptive of their uses and others were given names for something they generally resembled. Spells written by witches in ancient times were often written with such descriptors, which personally i believe to be a form of secret coding.

Here is a small list of “witchy” herb names (most of these are already floating around the community) that you can use in your craft when you create your spells.  This list could be a great addition to any Grimoire and i hope you find them as useful as i do.

MEDICINE CHEST: HERBAL FIRST AID KIT

by Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Topical Herbal First Aid Kit

As you delve into the world of herbal medicine, at some point or another you take a look at your medicine cabinet and think, “What kinds of natural remedies should I stock in my first aid kit?” Many herbs offer topical applications for a variety of everyday woes, including aches and bruises, cuts and scrapes, bug bites and rashes. And conveniently, you can cultivate or wildcraft most of these herbs or find them easily at natural food stores and online herb shops. Here are a few basics to consider stocking:

Plantain {Plantago major} leaf, a ubiquitous and easily recognisable weed, is readily available in most lawns, woodland path edges, and pavement cracks. You can apply the freshly chewed or mashed leaves directly to bug bites, bee stings, poison ivy, rashes, and splinters to quickly draw out inflammation, irritation, venom, and foreign objects. How to use it: Fresh, mashed leaf poultice works best {and clean leaves store well in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel in a container}, but plantain infused oil, salve, vinegar, or alcohol also work well. Since I seem to attract any biting insect, I keep a roller vial of 50:50 plantain oil and yarrow tincture in my bathroom and travel bag to shake and rub on to disinfect and quell the maddening itch.

Calendula {Calendula officinalis} flowers also reduce itching and inflammation with wound-healing and mild antimicrobial activity but are more specific for general rashes, eczema, dermatitis, baby’s skin issues {such as diaper rash}, haemorrhoids, and minor cuts and scrapes. {Plantain works better for poison ivy and bug bites, but calendula helps out in a pinch.} For conjunctivitis, try a tea compress of calendula blossoms with some salt added to make it saline and perhaps a stronger antimicrobial like organic goldenseal. Use the tea or alcohol extract {diluted in water} as an antiseptic and healing mouthwash. How to use it: An infused oil is the most popular way to administer calendula, applied on its own or made into a cream or salve. However, it’s amenable to any form; fresh, dried, as a tea or compress, in the bath, in vinegar, and as a liniment/tincture. It works effectively solo or combined with other herbs, such as lavender essential oil.

St. John’s wort {Hypericum perforatum} fresh buds and flowers turn oil and alcohol a deep maroon red, a good indicator for potency. You can apply it to minor wounds and rashes much like calendula, and it has additional abilities to quickly ease pain {especially nerve pain}. With long-term use, it may even improve nerve repair. Consider the oil for burns, bedsores, minor injuries, and scars. For herpes {including shingles}, it not only helps limit outbreaks if applied at the start, but it can also ease itching and irritation and promote post-infection repair. How to use it: St. John’s wort is vastly superior when used fresh {not dried} with the bud and blossoms {not the whole aerial plant} – whip up a new batch every year or so. The oil is more soothing {and can be made into salves and cream}, but alcohol does an excellent job extracting and preserving the herb’s properties, and you can combine the two {shake vigorously before applying}. Use it plain or with like-minded herbs such as calendula, plantain, Gotu kola, lavender, and more.

Comfrey {Symphytum officinale} leaf oil {or salve or cream} works quite well as a substitute for the herb arnica with aches, sprains, strains, and arthritis pain. It may also speed healing when applied to a broken bone {after it’s been set properly}. Though it’s amazingly fast for wound-healing, I tend to prefer other herbs mentioned above because comfrey can heal a little too fast – it’s not sophisticated in skin remodelling, leading to scarring or sealing in infections. That said, it may promote connective tissue integrity and help work away old scars when applied regularly.

Some words of warning; comfrey contains cumulative liver-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids {PAs} and is best avoided internally; however, although you can absorb some PAs through the skin, the risk from topical use is minimal.

How to use it: Try it as an infused oil {which you can make into a salve or cream}, compress, or poultice.

Gotu kola {Centella asiatica} aerial parts may be more famous internally as an adaptogen, brain tonic, and for anxiety reduction, but Gotu kola offers benefits beyond these more commonly known uses. When taken internally and applied topically, both immediately and long-term, it supports connective tissue healing and integrity, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation and blood vessel lining. Consider it for wounds, ageing skin, haemorrhoids, varicose veins, as a mouthwash, post-surgery, etc. How to use it: Gotu kola works well in pretty much any form, including oil, cream, salve, liniment, compress, and bath. For added support, take it internally {as food, tea, or tincture} simultaneously.

Yarrow {Achillea millefolium} leaves and flowers offer a cornucopia of healing properties inside and out. The genus name comes from the god of war, Achilles, a nod to its use as a wound-wort for soldiers. Fresh leaf poultice helps to stop bleeding, disinfects, eases pain, and promotes healing of wounds, but its uses don’t end there. It tightens and tones blood vessels and tissues while promoting circulation – making it useful for varicose veins and haemorrhoids as well as a sitz bath and mouthwash – and can also be used as an insect and tick repellent. A wash, compress, or liniment helps clean out wounds and infections, too. How to use it: Fresh leaf poultice works best for wounds, but a liniment, saline tea, or compress can also clean wounds. Apply the liniment/tincture, salve, oil, or cream topically for various uses. Spray on a low-alcohol extract or tincture as bug spray, reapplying frequently.

Lavender {Lavandula angustifolia} flower buds also offer modest antimicrobial activity, but most notably soothe inflammation and irritations and also promote healing. Its name comes from “lavar” – to wash – and almost any skin type responds well to lavender preparations. How to use it: Lavender essential oil makes a superb, concentrated, easy-to-carry remedy that can be used “neat” {straight} or diluted in alcohol, oil, or other herbal preparations. You can also turn to standard herbal preparations like liniments, and infused oils as well as lavender flower water or hydrosol {lightly aromatic and excellent as a gentle skin toner}. I carry all-natural lavender wipes in my bag to sanitise hands, scrapes and ease rashes in a pinch.

Arnica {Arnica spp.} flowers form the basis of the most popular homeopathic remedy in the country, which can be taken or applied for bruises, aches, pains, trauma, and post-surgery. We classically use A. montana, but it’s limited in range and at risk for overharvesting. Other species can be used interchangeably, including the prolific and easy-to-cultivate A. chamissonis. How to use: Being accident-prone, I stash homeopathic arnica tubes in my kitchen, bag, and backpack to use as soon as I take a tumble. Homeopathic or standard herbal oil, salve, cream, or liniment can also be applied externally to unbroken skin.

Additional Notable Herbs

Thuja {Thuja occidentalis and T. plicata} evergreen needles, also called arborvitae and white cedar tips, work fabulously on fungal infections and other icky skin conditions and may also help with warts. Try thuja as an herb-infused oil, salve, liniment, topical vinegar, or homeopathic remedy. Apply at least two times per day for at least a few weeks after the infection clears.

Chapparal {Larrea tridentata} leaves, also called creosote bush, can be used much like thuja for all manner of topical fungal infections as well as for herpes. Apply this potent antioxidant herb to sunburns and as a light sunscreen. Like yarrow, it serves as a fabulous wound-wort, speeding healing and disinfecting with minimal scarring. Colonies of chaparral grow throughout the southwestern deserts, and the leaves are available commercially. Try it as an herb-infused oil, salve, compress, wash, poultice, or liniment.

Celandine {Chelidonium majus} fresh leaf poultice works better than anything to remove warts quickly. This common weed in the poppy family exudes a yellow-orange latex when cut. Apply the mashed fresh leaves to the area under a bandage overnight {it may stain clothing, skin, and surfaces}. Usually, the wart disappears within a few applications.

Topical Remedies

Herb-Infused Oil: Steep fresh or dried herbs in a shelf-stable oil {olive oil preferred} to extract the properties before straining. I prefer to use the alcohol-intermediary method for most herbs except St. John’s wort {fresh simple maceration works best} and calendula {any method works, but alcohol intermediary plus heat comes out the strongest}.

Salve: In a double-boiler, melt and combine 1-ounce of beeswax per 4-ounces of herb-infused oil. Remove from the heat and stir in any other ingredient {like 10-20 drops of essential oil}. Pour into jars or tubes. I will have a lip balm consistency and last six months to 1 year.

Cream: A blend of shelf-stable oil and water-based ingredients {including alcohol extract and hydrosols}, creams are versatile and absorb nicely into the skin. You may find them a bit tricky to make and keep stable.

Liniment: Per 1-ounce by weight of dry herb, cover with 5-ounces of 80- to 100-proof vodka or rubbing alcohol. Per 1-ounce of chopped fresh herb, use 2-ounces of alcohol. Fit into the jar so you can hold it all in, totally covered to the very top. Strain after 1 month. Liniments are disinfecting and long-lasting {years} but also prove somewhat drying and irritating to the skin. You can combine them with oils and shake vigorously before applying, or add them as part of the “waters” to cream recipes.

Vinegar: Disinfecting, less irritating to the skin, and affordable compared to alcohol, vinegar also soothes irritations like sunburns and poison ivy. Follow the liniment instructions and only use plastic caps {it will corrode metal}. Your vinegar will keep for at least one year.

Poultice: Mash up or chew fresh plant material and apply the wad to the affected area. Cover with a bandage if needed.

Compress/Wash: Make a strong tea to soak the affected area or dip a cloth to apply it.

Springtime Medicinal Weeds 

These “weeds” often get overlooked, sprayed, pulled, ect. They are a nuisance to most residential landscapers. Yet, these powerful plant allies can be some of the most potent healers. 

After the snow melts, these lovelies are the first to arrive offering us a much needed cleanse from our winter stagnation. 

Here we have: 

Dandelion  Taraxacum officinale Chickweed  Stellaria media Cleavers  Galium aparine  Plantain  Plantago spp. Red deadnettle  Lamium purpureum

[txwitchery]

Common Plantain / Lantén

Plantago major

Many species in the genus Plantago have healing properties, and the leaves of plantain may be used in place of comfrey, a common herb in healing spells and herbal remedies. The leaves contain a glycoside compound called aucubin, which for the plant decreases its predation by herbivores, but has shown antitoxic properties protecting from liver damage in rat and mouse trials. 

The plant is not native to North America, but gets a common name of ‘white man’s foot’ from the story that it was introduced and naturalized anywhere English colonists settled. It grows in nearly any soil but prefers full sun, and is often found in roadsides and disturbed areas. 

Carrying the powdered, dried root was thought to repel snakes and protect from snakebite. The young, tender leaves may be eaten raw in salads, though the tough veins may require removal. A cream may be made by heating together a pound of the entire plant, chopped finely and a cup of lard, cooking down until mushy and vividly green. It may then be cooled and used to soothe sores, burns, insect bites, and rashes. A tea of the plant may be used for colds and flu. A poultice of the plant may be applied to bites and minor wounds to speed the healing process. 

Teas made from plantain may be used for various ailments when taken either externally or internally. It shows anti fungal and antibacterial properties, making it a good wash for wounds. When taken internally, it may stimulate the immune system and soothe moderate chronic cough and bronchitis. Chewing the leaf into a poultice may soothe insect stings as those from mosquitos, bees, and wasps.

I associate Plantain with the element earth, the goddesses Proserpina and Panacea, the Sun, and the astrological sign Capricorn. It is an herb of protection and healing, and though it be small and unassuming, should never be written off!

CAUTION: Plantago spp. plants do contain coagulant compounds and should NOT be used by people taking warfarin or other blood thinners, clopidogrel or other platelet inhibitors, or heparins. People at risk for blood clotting or those taking certain oral contraceptives known to have side effects including deep vein thrombosis should also NOT ingest Plantago spp.
