This meme is a MURDER ATTEMPT.
Tumblr media
I am absolutely fucking serious. The original meme, without the big red denial, is someone's attempt to fucking kill people.
There is NO SAFE DOSAGE of pennyroyal oil. Even Mother Earth News says there's no reason to use pennyroyal essential oil for ANYTHING, even topically or as a fragrance, for fuckssake! That should give you some idea about how dangerous it is!
Pennyroyal tea, plant matter in hot water, is a traditional abortifacient. It is *incredibly* dangerous, induces abortion by bringing the body close to organ failure (and frequently pushing the system right over the edge, because dosage is impossible to meter), but I would drink a gallon of it before I took a half-teaspoon of pennyroyal essential oil.
Two teaspoons, taken across 48 hours, has successfully killed someone.
Three teaspoons taken as a single dosage killed the consumer within THREE HOURS.
There is NO SAFE DOSAGE! FOR PENNYROYAL OIL INTERNALLY! NONE!
The person who made this meme is PURPOSEFULLY, ACTIVELY, trying to get desperate people killed!

I suppose if any wildflower can be said to embody the bounty and energy of summer, it must be black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa, or Actaea racemosa). Anyone who has grown up in Central Appalachia will instantly recognize and connect with the towering "fairy candles" of this woods-dwelling perennial in the buttercup family - some might even suggest a spiritual bond exists between the people of the mountains and the plant. This isn't surprising - black cohosh has a long and storied history as a medicinal herb, dating back to the Native American tribes, who used an extract from its root to treat everything from musculoskeletal pain to snake bites, and continuing with the European settlers, who used it to treat the symptoms of menopause. While there is little evidence from clinical trials indicating the plant's efficacy in treating menopausal symptoms, higher quality studies are being urged and may yet prove the plant's value in supporting female reproductive health. Irrespective of its potential contributions to medicine, black cohosh is the living spirit of Appalachia's summer woods, and one of the most spectacular wildflowers of North America.

The idea of nature as a benevolent, loving mother who wants you well is not universal. It's very specific to New Age Americans and Europeans to an extent (who haven't had the outside attack them on the regs).
Historically, nature has wanted us very dead.
Ancient epidemiologists struggled against unseen and not understood forces that seemed to run through the population like a wave, leaving death and disability in its wake. They channeled those experiences into medical manuals that have made our futures a bit brighter.
Bodies decay. It's just what we do naturally. That's what the aging process it.
Bodies are also notoriously unpredictable (and, like, kind of dicks about it). Autoimmune diseases? That's your natural immunity that got confused. Heart problems? A natural result of inflammation after childhood untreated strep throat.
Healing takes work. We're standing on the shoulders of giants, and we still need to work to either bring healing to others or heal ourselves. It's the interdisciplinary web of scientists who want you very much alive.

Roselle Hibiscus from local food forest ❣️
recently have been learning more about growing edible and medicinal plants and actually started lots of seedlings with my husband like beets, sugar magnolia snap peas, dill and catnip to name a few. It feels good to have started them instead of anxiously putting it off!! Hoping for some sort of harvest 🤞🏼

I have seen WAY too many posts about “herbal remedies to provide abortion” going around with the recent news
And as a historian focusing on medical history I’m thrilled to see people looking to the past to see what people with uteruses used to bring on menstruation (induce abortion) because the history of reproductive healthcare and of abortion in particular is extremely important in understanding our current circumstances and the circumstances Americans were in before Roe
But I also really really need y’all to listen to me both as a historian and as someone who’s been making and using herbal remedies my whole life:
A lot of these “remedies” will kill you.
This isn’t an exaggeration, this isn’t a scare tactic designed to make you lose hope on reproductive healthcare. A lot of herbal remedies can and will kill you- especially if you don’t speak to actual herbalists, licensed homeopaths, and actual physicians who know your medical history before using an herbal remedy. Even helpful herbs can be very very dangerous in doses large enough to induce an abortion - I’m taking completely shutting down your liver and killing your kidneys dangerous.
I also want it pointed out that a LOT of online homeopathic groups are full of misinformation- the kind that leads people to accidentally dose themselves with arsenic by consuming fruit pits as well as incredibly ableist anti-modern science and anti-vax arguments. A lot of people in online homeopathic spaces are ableist white supremacists who hide behind a veneer of “new age spirituality” rather than conservative evangelical Christianity.
You have to be extremely careful about where you’re getting your information from and how you’re using that information.
I’m currently working on putting together a master list of licensed homeopaths who have resources available in the wake of the leaked Supreme Court decision and will share that when it’s finished. Just please folks- stay safe.

I find it weird and funny when people who are like “ahhh yes herbal remedies are good!” are also like “omg caffeine is so bad”, because, like, technically speaking coffee, which is made from a plant, is basically one of the most widely-available herbal remedies for things like ADHD and the active ingredient is literally caffeine. (Obligatory reminder about herbal remedies: Herbal does not equal safe; some herbs can be toxic depending on dosage and duration of use, can trigger allergies, and can interfere with other medications. Be careful!)

“The ancient practice of herbalism started by our ancestors noting how animals would consume specific plants when sick, intuitively aware of their medicinal properties.” - Simon Jr. Jackson, The Lost Herbal Medicine Bible
