Japanese parsely, Shephard’s purse, Jersey Cudweed, Common chickweed, Nipplewort, Turnip and daikon radish.
Any familiar? 

Notice weed too hah?


To be honest, January 7th is the only day out of 365 I see  Shephard’s purse, Jersey Cudweed, Common chickweed and Nipplewort in my fridge. Might not even recognize them growing in the fields…

Nanakusa– Seven medicinal herbs, that help bring good health and longevity. Chop up all and light steam in the pot on top of savory porridge before serving. One of our New Years custom to prepare this meal for breakfast on the seventh morning to relax and heal the digestive system after days of festive celebration.

Can’t help but admire the wisdom and instrumental practices of our ancestors. 

At the same time feel of awe and gratefulness to the miraculous fact we still have access to the nature they benefited from.

今日は朝から鼻炎気味。更に息子発熱。
英国在住のメディカルハーバリスト・リエコ大島バークレー先生から購入した特別ブレンドを淹れて、夕飯前にちょっとwind down…

年末年始、ハレに託けて外食や普段食べつけないイロイロを食べたから…

当然の排出期。
寧ろ、早い反応かな。

春の七草、洋のハーブ。薬草のチカラを借りて、カラダの調律。

湯たんぽ抱えて早く寝よう。
