The Pacific yew and other species in the genus Taxus are slow growing conifers, often found in older mixed forests.
It was discovered in the 1960s that the leaves and the bark contain potent anti-cancer alkaloids.
In the 80s and early 90s the trees were harvested to make the drug and especially was used in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and esophageal cancer treatment. It has saved lives. But the harvest of the bark placed heavy pressure on the slow growing trees, so harvesting was a problem. Fortunately, it was found that it was actually Endophytic fungi that produce most of the alkaloid. This enabled manufactures to grow the fungus in big tanks and extract the alkaloid without harming the trees.
One of the alkaloids paclitaxol and others are still widely used in standard cancer care programs as chemotherapy.
I have seen patients use the tincture of yew leaves, with the idea that the full range of alkaloids and other compounds in the leaves might be more effective, produce less chemotherapeutic resistance, and have less side effects. Although this idea has not been proven in clinical studies.
The wood is extremely hard and was widely used by Native Americans to make weapons and other implements .

California poppy is the California state flower. It’s so easy to grow in your garden it spreads so rapidly by seed. In the spring it gives you glorious golden flowers, and in the summer and fall you can harvest the roots and the long, slender fruits.
You can either blend them up in a 80% ethanolic menstruum and make a tincture, or simmer the plant parts for 20 minutes, then blend up the herb with the water and simmer down until it’s fairly thick. Then spread that in the fruit leather trays of a food dehydrator and dehydrate until you get a crispy wafer And crumble that up and grind into a fine powder in a coffee grinder.
Store this powder in jars and you can add a half teaspoon to a little warm water and drink anytime you need it. The tea powder is stable for up to three years. It’s good to add flavoring, herbs or sweet herbs, like licorice to counteract the slightly bitter flavor of the herb.
The tea powder is very potent, especially if you only include the roots in the fruits.
It is such a fantastic remedy for calming, for promoting good sleep, and to help relieve spasms, such as menstrual cramps or intestinal spasms.
I dispensed it for years in my clinic and had so much positive feedback. It’s also useful for pain.

Nature finds a way.
Each habitat or ecological niche has its own challenges and rewards.
For the cranesbill of the geranium family, Genus Erodium, the challenges are getting their seeds into the hard packed ground to protect them in grasslands where many browsers occur.
In the picture, you can see a complete fruit of the cranesbill. The upper curved tip sticks in a little irregularity in the ground. the column that arises from the seed as it dries will twist and turn creating a hard coil. The very tip of the seed at the bottom is incredibly sharp and hard. As the coil forms, the seed is literally drilled into the ground.
Vast acres of cranesbill with its pink flowers fills vast fields and meadows. It is so successful because it found a better way over millions of years.

from Flora herb gardens.

Onions of any kind are incredibly healthy. I try to add wine to my diet. Most days they are abundant in quercetin and sulfur compounds, both of which are anti-inflammatory and highly protective.
They also add so much flavor to our meals !
