Always pretty - Bellis perennis

English Daisies (Bellis perennis) are a plant that I’ve long overlooked. Sure, I knew it was a wound healer but I much preferred it for its beauty in the garden. This season, though, I’ve decided to focus on it a little. There’ll be a page on this sunny herb soon. It’ll be easy to find if you want to experiment yourself, it’s in all the garden centres now. ‘Bellis‘ means ‘pretty’ or ‘beautiful’…

Daisies by Pascal Volk

[weird-is-life]

Sirius Black after escaping the Black Manor House, bloody and bruised and sobbing his heart out, comes to James’s house where Remus and reader already are. Reader gets so incredibly protective of Siri and just wraps herself around him, hardly even letting fleamont near him in fear of him getting hurt again. She falls asleep in his lap, still curled around him like a shield.

Hiii, ty for the request!!! Hope this is okay, warnings: pet names, mentions of bruises and blood, angsty, fluff, mentions of food/drinks, (0.7k)

You don't expect anybody to barge inside Potters's home, so late at night. You, James and Remus have been talking and inventing a plan on how to free your Sirius from the nightmare, that is his household for hours, hell even days now.

So when you see him standing in front of the door all bloody, bruised and so so sad, you almost think you've gone crazy.

But you haven't, he's really there. Sirius knew, he had to get out of his house. And even if he knew it wasn't going to be easy, he didn't expect his family to fight so hard to keep him there. It all happened so quickly, one minute, he was casting one spell after another and the next, he was knocking on James's door with blood running down his arm and face.

"Oh my gosh, Sirius!" you throw yourself around his neck, hugging him tightly just to really make sure, you aren't imagining him.

Sirius lets out a sigh of relief, upon having you finally back in his arms, even if his whole body hurts like crazy. And unintentionally, he can't help it, the tears start to run down his cheeks as his body shakes with the sobs.

You don't say anything, almost as startled by the state of Sirius as he is, you just hold him more tightly.

The guys give you a few minutes before they get too impatient and go to hug Sirius tightly. You step back for a moment, giving them some space, because you know they need it, too.

Eventually, when Sirius's soft sobs stop and there appears a smile on his face, you say, " come on handsome, let's get you cleaned up."

You take his hand and lead him to the bathroom as Remus and James make some tea and something to eat.

You sit Sirius down on the tub and bring out some gauzes and antiseptic spray. You start to gently wiping away the blood and cleaning out the cuts.

Sirius tiredly, defeated just sits there and lets you clean him up. His eyes close on their own accord as your loving hands patch him up.

You work as quickly and as gently as you can, but every now and then you hear, Sirius wince.

"I'm sorry, sorry" you say worriedly, "I'm almost done."

"It's okay, sweetheart," Sirius answers softly with hoarse voice.

You stop, what you are doing and sigh, " I'm sorry, Siri, that....that you had to go through this on your own. I'm sorry, we weren't there."

Sirius opens his eyes to look at your pretty, but very upset face," sweetheart, there was nothing you could have done. Nothing. And it's okay, if you weren't there, you are here now, that's all that matters to me," Sirius tries to give you is best smile and it works. Even if he looks like he just went through hell and back, his smile looks the smile as it always does.

You sniffle a little and smile back at him, putting your hands through his wild hair, you whisper, " I love you, Siri."

"I know," Sirius says," I love you, too. So much."

You lean in to give him a kiss, but hesitate, not wanting to make him hurt with all of the cuts.

Sirius, apparently, doesn't care about it, because he pulls you close to him and kisses you. His whole face feels like it's on fire from the pain, but all he cares about is that he's safe and he's got you with him.

When you pull away with giddy smile, you quickly go to your room for some Bruisewort Balm (healing cream) and some clothes, he can change into.

Once Sirius is looking like himself again, you go hand in hand to the living room, where the tea and food and relieved James and Remus wait for you two.

You make yourselves comfy on the couch there. You snuggle Sirius close the whole time, not intending on ever letting him go again.

And as the sun starts to rise, everybody falls asleep in the living room, too exhausted to move to the much comfier beds. But you are as comfy as one can be, as you hold on tightly to your Sirius.

Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.

And they’re not pleasant.

---

When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter's secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn't anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore's orders or stay at Voldemort's side to protect Harry.

Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

------

FIVE EXCERPT:

How fucked up was it that Harry felt safer with Voldemort than he did with the Dursleys? Had he gone mad? This had to be madness.

And yet…

Voldemort didn’t like how he was being treated. It was so bad, according to Voldemort, that even he was concerned about Harry, enough to stop trying to kill him, enough to leave Harry healing potions. He’d had plenty of tries to kill him, but Harry was still alive—hell, he was doing better because of the man.

Harry curled in on himself, wrapping his arms around his chest in a hug and wishing it were real. He searched through the park to look for any sign of Voldemort. He stepped nearby, making noise, and had left the jar, so he had to still be here, somewhere.

He almost wished Voldemort would stop hiding. What if he sat on the swing next to Harry? What would he ask him? Would he prod about Harry’s home life more or would he talk about something else?

Why do I even want to talk to him?

“I’m outside of the wards,” said Harry in a low voice, hoping the man could hear him. “You could kidnap, kill me, torture me, but you’re giving me bruisewort balm instead. I don’t get you.”

Doesn’t make any sense.

“What’s so bad about my life?” whispered Harry. “It could be worse, yeah? I only have to stay here for a few months out of the year. The rest, I get to live at Hogwarts. It’s not so bad.”

A lie, but it was better to lie to himself than face reality.

There was no sign of life. Maybe Voldemort wasn’t around. Maybe Voldemort had gone home, wherever that was. Maybe he was just talking to himself. The sun was setting finally, which meant the time to face the music was getting closer and closer. He’d better get home before it got dark or there would be more hell to pay.

“I don’t want to go back,” whispered Harry.

Never again.

But there was nowhere to go.

A hand settled on his shoulder, warm and weighted. Harry froze, the hair rising on the back of his neck. The hand didn’t move. No words were spoken. Tears welled up in his eyes again, but he didn’t let them fall. Harry slowly turned his head towards the side, but he saw no hand there. Instead of panic and fear rushing through his veins, a calm spread throughout his body. Harry let out a low sigh.

The hand on his shoulder squeezed and disappeared.

Wait. Harry wanted it back—come back.

What the hell is wrong with me? This is Voldemort!

Dammit. This was too much—too much to process. Harry already lived on the edge of his sanity and control while living at the Dursleys. Anything could set them off. He had to constantly be careful about what he did and said around them. Even when he was obedient and submissive, he was still getting into trouble. 

He was tired—just tired.

Harry didn’t have the energy to wonder about Voldemort anymore.

Harry slowly stood up from the swing. “Guess I gotta get back,” he whispered. “Thanks again for the bruisewort balm.” 

He shoved his hands into his pockets and started the trek back to Number Four. He’d catch it worse if he were home after Dudley. He kicked a rock down the sidewalk, his thoughts in an uncontrollable whirl. He heard no other footsteps in the street, but he couldn’t help but wonder if Voldemort was following him.

Watching him.

Watching over him.

It helped, just a bit.

Why you should avoid kava and 9 other risky dietary supplements

One-third of Americans say they believe supplements have been tested by the Food and Drug Administration for safety, according to a 2022 nationally representative survey by Consumer Reports of 3,070 adults in the United States. But the FDA doesn’t approve or test the safety or effectiveness of any supplement before it enters the U.S. market.

After consulting with a panel of doctors and researchers, Consumer Reports says you should avoid these 10 risky supplements. In general, risk increases the larger the dosage and the longer the supplement is taken. Also beware of illegal or unapproved drug ingredients, such as tianeptine, methylsynephrine and phenibut.

Bellis perennis, common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy, Маргари́тка многоле́тняя.

Order:Asterales

Family:Asteraceae

Genus:Bellis

Bellis may come from bellus, Latin for "pretty", and perennis is Latin for "everlasting". The name "daisy", possibly originating with this plant, is considered a corruption of "day's eye", because the whole head closes at night and opens in the morning. Geoffrey Chaucer called it "eye of the day". In Medieval times, Bellis perennis or the English Daisy was commonly known as "Mary's Rose". Historically, the plant has also been widely known as bruisewort, woundwort, bone flower.

Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe.

Германские племена на туманном севере редко мельком видели ясную синеву неба. С открытием чашечки ромашка объявила им о присутствии бога Солнца Балдура. Они дали ему название "Глаз Балдура" или "Бровь Балдура".

Молодые листья можно есть сырыми в салатах или приготовленные, цветочные бутоны и лепестки можно есть сырыми, клать в супы и салаты.Его также используют в качестве чая и витаминной добавки.Ромашка - национальный цветок нидерландов.

Как вегетативные растения, маргаритка растет в виде небольшой розетки. Каждый лист имеет форму ложки. Часто розетки растут пятнами, и если эти пятна выкопать, оказывается, что они соединены короткими и толстыми корневищными системами.

В традиционной медицине маргаритка используется для очистки крови, для стимуляции обмена веществ и аппетита, а также в качестве средства для желудка, желчного пузыря и печени. Он также особенно эффективен при кожных заболеваниях. Следует особо подчеркнуть эту тесную связь ромашки с кожей. Для лечения ран Беллис не менее эффективен, чем другие известные представители семейства маргаритных. Благодаря соку для заживления ран и очищения кожи он используется в традиционной медицине для лечения травм с более крупными дефектами кожи, а также при ушибах, растяжениях и растяжениях.Травяной жрец Кюнцле рекомендовал добавлять ромашку во все чайные смеси для детей.

Как и крапива, маргаритка никогда не должна отсутствовать в "супе из девяти трав" или супе "Чистый четверг". Это традиционное весеннее блюдо помогает нам избавить наш организм от отходов, накопившихся за зиму.

Последние результаты показали, что растение обладает антиоксидантным, антимикробным, противораковым, ранозаживляющим, антидепрессивным, анксиолитическим, нефропротекторным, инсулиновым миметическим действием, а также влияет на липидный обмен.

Его использовали при ревматизме, экземе, заболеваниях глаз, воспалении и тонзиллите в народной медицине.

Тут основной цветочек на газонах, вместе с желтым цветком, о котором далее. Миниатюрная версия классической ромашки, растет так близко к земле что зацветает даже на самых коротко стриженных газонах.

Bellis perennis, or common daisy, generally blooms from early to midsummer, although when grown under ideal conditions, it has a very long flowering season. Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked, noting that the leaves become increasingly astringent with age. Flower buds and petals can be eaten raw in sandwiches, soups and salads. It is also used as a tea and as a vitamin supplement. (X)

Comfrey

Scientific Names: Symphytum officinale Other Common Names: Black root, ass ear, boneset, healing herb, bruisewort, knitback Overall Safety: Topical: 😊, Oral: 🙁  

Therapeutic Efficacy and Considerations:

😐 Several German studies and a case series published in English show efficacy of topical comfrey for healing bruises, sprains, broken bones, and the pain associated with these conditions. One larger human study showed topical comfrey to be more efficacious than placebo in reducing swelling and pressure differences in treatment of ankle distortions. However, this trial showed no significant difference in resting pain between placebo and comfrey treatment groups. Overall, there is not adequate information available to truly evaluate the efficacy of topical comfrey for any purpose. Externally, comfrey is safe when used for less than 10 days in doses of less than 100 µg per day.

Chemistry/Pharmacology: The leaf, rhizome, and root of comfrey are all used for medicinal purposes. Comfrey contains hepatotoxic unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids (UPAs). The highest concentrations are found in the root. The plant also contains sarracind and platyphylline which have been used to peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal hypermobility. These components are not hepatotoxic. Allantoin is thought to give comfrey its healing properties. Anti-inflammatory activity is associated with rosmarinic acid. Tannins, triterpenoids, beta-sitosterol, and a host of other compounds are found in comfrey.

Drug Interactions: No known drug interactions.

Contraindications/Precautions: Comfrey is contraindicated for internal use because of hepatotoxicity. Topical use is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Topical application on unbroken skin should be for 10 days or less with a total of 4-6 weeks per year. The total daily amount of UPAs applied to the skin should be 100 mcg or less.

Adverse Effects: Oral use can cause serious veno-occlusive disease, hepatotoxicity, and gastrointestinal upset. Dermatitis with topical use. Comfrey is possibly carcinogenic.

Trying to find a simpler style for quick DnD works and OH BOY it’s not working.

Top pic is our player group, from Left to Right: Maaru the Aasimar monk, Angus the tiefling sorcerer and Amon the human warlock ... and his familiar Bruisewort.

Harry‘s not amused, because Severus is “pretty certain they‘re out of Bruisewort Balm” and other than Sev he cannot just hide the marks under his robes, when he‘s in the Aurors dressing room - and “omg, if Ron sees these he will not shut up for the rest of the month.”
