The Daily Tea #10
Dandelion Root Tea
My favorite herb/flower/weed, call it what you will. I adore dandelion root tea.
When I need a good cleanse or a bitter coffee-ish taste without the caffeine, I reach for roasted dandelion root tea.
Dandelion cleanses the liver and kidneys, flushing everything out. They're also called piss-a-beds for this reason. They're a diuretic (increases urine flow).
I always make sure I have some form of dandelion on hand (roasted, leaf or root, raw herb, or tea bags).
I highly suggest roasting the root yourself in your oven - your whole house will have a delightful chocolatey smell to it.
This plant has so many vitamins and health benefits to it. The fact that homeowners and gardeners rip this plant out is the biggest bit of proof that we are so disconnected from nature, it's insane.
I could go on all day about dandelions, but see for yourself. You can also eat the plants raw (every single bit is edible just obviously make sure it hasn't been sprayed with pesticides).

Medicinal Remedies
Medicinal Remedies-- This is a LONG one!
NOTE: This article is about 20 of my favorite medicinal healing herbs to grow in most garden areas and types of soil. There are 100’s more, though, that I just couldn’t include because of space. Enjoy this rundown of 20 of my favorites.
1) Calendula:
Calendula is one of my top five favorite herbs of all time. It's sunny yellow or orange face can't help but make me smile. In summer time, it grows like crazy, just about anywhere, and like other flowers, the bees love it.
Calendula has some super skin healing and strengthening properties, and I always have some infusing in olive oil in a sunny window for use in salves, soaps, and other body products.
Calendula is also edible, and it's so fun to toss some blooms in your salad! It really brightens things up and adds excellent color. I love Calendula.
Calendula just makes you smile.
2) Cayenne:
Here is another herb I think should be in every garden. Cayenne is a very hot and pretty red pepper with some excellent culinary uses for adding spice to foods.
It's also great for helping with circulatory problems, can be used to help stop bleeding since it's a hemostatic herb, and has been shown to be useful in helping slow or even stop a heart attack until help can arrive.
It's also a very attractive plant, and the bright red of the pepper is just gorgeous mixed Into the dark green of the plant's leaves. This is one herb you should definitely grow if you can, and have handy in your herbal medicine chest.
Cayenne grows like crazy, especially in warmer climates. They dry well, too.
3) Chamomile:
Like Lavender, what would an herbal garden be without sweet Chamomile? It's honey scent and sweet taste are an absolute pleasure. Besides that....Chamomile is a popular relaxant and mild sedative herb.
Need to de-stress? Drink a bit of Chamomile tea!
Chamomile is also useful as an anti-inflammatory, as it contains high levels of azulene. It helps with pain relief, including for arthritis. If you are heading to bed and are bothered by mild pain, try drinking some chamomile tea! In one clinical study, this helped 10 out of 12 people fall into a restful sleep. (Gladstar)
Growing Chamomile can be tricky in very hot climates. It likes full sun, but a cooler climate. Chamomile is also best grown in less maintained soil and doesn't need the rich fertilization other plants require.
4) Chickweed:
Chickweed is another one of those "weeds" that is completely misunderstood and has some excellent medicinal qualities.
It's Latin name, (stellaria) means "star," and that is because of its small, pretty starlike white flowers. It's easy to grow, and has many uses.
Chickweed supports liver and kidney health due to its high nutrition and diuretic properties. It's also wonderful in salves for healing skin issues, including rashes, eczema, and very dry skin.
Chickweed is a great diuretic and blood purifier.
5) Dandelion:
This prolific weed, as some people see when they notice Dandelion in their yard, is actually a powerfully helpful medicinal herb! Dandelion is terrific for your liver and kidney health, having diuretic properties.
It's also an edible plant! You can roast the roots and add it to teas and even your coffee for a delicious flavor that also packs a healthy punch. The leaves can be eaten in salads and other foods.
6) Feverfew:
Feverfew has lovely white flowers and at least where I live, is rather invasive. I don't mind, though, because it has a great number of medicinal benefits.
As its name connotes, feverfew is helpful with reducing fevers. Most recently, however, feverfew has become rather well-known for helping with migraines, both preventing and reducing the intensity and time.
One of my favorite teas to provide for people who suffer from migraines is: 1 part feverfew, 1 part spearmint, and 1 part lemon balm. This is a soothing, nervine combination, that along with the powers of feverfew, can be used as daily tonic.
Feverfew is also great for minor bug bites. Just apply the tincture topically. Since it has mild pain relieving properties, it will help with the discomfort too.
7) Garlic:
Garlic is one of the BEST all around medicinal herbs anyone can grow, in my opinion. It's useful for treating colds, flus, sore throats, and digestive issues. Garlic boosts the immune system by increasing and stimulating the production of white blood cells.
Garlic is antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and vermifuge (kills parasites). It is also useful as a blood purifier and helps promote healthy circulation. It may also help regulate blood sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes.
Besides all these wonderful benefits, garlic is delicious! It's added to so many foods and dishes because of the flavor it imparts. Granted, using garlic medicinally is different than in culinary uses, but if you really want to "eat thy medicine," as Hippocrates famously stated, garlic is a great place to start.
8) Ginger:
Oh, what would the herb world be without Ginger? This sweet and spicy pungent herb is actually a rhizome, not a root, as many believe. The useful part grows under ground, so is often confused.
Ginger is stimulating and is a great additive for teas, tinctures, and fermented foods, as well as culinary uses. Ginger is anti-inflammatory, decongesting, and increases circulation, promoting warmth. Ginger is also excellent for flatulence and stomach issues, including nausea.
Ginger likes a tropical environment---hot and humid. Therefore, unless you live down South, Ginger would most likely need to be grown in a green house.
9) Lavender:
What would the herbal world be without lavender? It's good for SO many things. Lavender smells wonderful, the bees love it, it's great for medicinal uses, AND it's a gorgeous flower. Lavender is useful for air freshening and cleaning the air or freshening closed up places such as drawers. It's popular in sachets for this reason.
Lavender is actually relatively hardy, growing well in Zones 5 through 8. If you are in a colder zone, be sure to plant your lavender in an area where it will get plenty of sunshine and be as warm as possible. If your winters are rough, you'll need to provide your lavender with some type of protection, especially from harsh winds.
I had some planted in pots here in the mountains, and it did very well all summer long. Even through snows, it was fine. But we get wind speeds over 125 miles an hour at times, and lavender just didn't last through that. Not much will, I guess.
Lavender is useful for so many things---AND it smells incredible.
10) Lemon Balm:
Lemon Balm....I LOVE this species of mint. It smells lovely, the bees love it, and it grows well nearly everywhere. Lemon Balm has a pleasant lemony taste and is a great additive in herbal teas, both for the nutritive value as well as the soothing nature and relaxing effects it has on the body.
11) Marshmallow:
This probably isn't included in too many herbalist's garden lists, but I think Marshmallow is seriously necessary. It's a demulcent and soothing herb, and it complements "hotter" herbs very well. It also soothes inflammation in mucous membranes and is one of my favorite herbs to use for allergy blends or teas for any kind of inflammation in the body for this reason.
Marshmallow is an upright plant, similar to a very small hollyhock. In fact, if you can grow hollyhocks where you are---you can use it pretty much interchangeably with Marshmallow as their chemical constituents are very similar.
The flowers are light pink and very pretty, too. The entire plant is edible and useful for medicinal purposes. Go ahead and throw a few flowers into your salad for a beautiful and surprising presentation!
Marshmallow is a demulcent anti-inflammatory. Plus, it's pretty.
12) Mullein:
This is yet another plant many see as just a weed, but has some truly wonderful medicinal qualities. Mullein is a plant that grows from a rosette of fuzzy large leaves into a tall stalk (sometimes as high as 7 feet tall) and is covered with yellow flowers in mid-summer.
Mullein does best in full sun, with lots of water, in cooler areas. It grows really well in the creek beds up here in our mountains, but I've heard it is very common in almost all places. It's worth trying to cultivate, in my opinion, if you don't have it growing naturally in your area.
Mullein is one of the best herbs you can use to support and heal the respiratory system and illnesses that affect the lungs, sinuses, and breathing. It's useful as a tea, tincture, and the large leaves can be used in an emergency to cover a poultice.
In my opinion, Mullein is the premier herb for respiratory issues.
13) Oregano
Oregano seems to be the bane of many gardener's existence. They plant it, and it just goes crazy. I can't tell you how many neighbors, family members, and friends have given me Oregano from their yards over the years! And I'm glad to have it! The thing with Oregano is you have to know how to manage it.
Oregano is a fabulous culinary herb, and if you have ever had pizza or marinara sauce, then you've tasted this delicious Mediterranean herb. Oregano grows best in warm, dry climates, but I have found in my experience that it is quite hardy and can survive winter lows in the single digits (at least it does in my yard).
Oregano (also known as Mountain of Joy in Greek) has some excellent medicinal uses, including having anti-viral, anti-biotic, anti-fungal properties, as well as being very high in anti-oxidants. It's a great skin care herb and also a digestive aid.
Oregano can be used in many forms, too: As a tincture, an herbal infused oil, eaten in foods, and as an essential oil. These all have different strengths, potencies, and uses.
The tincture is an easy way to use the herb medicinally, along with making or using in an herbal tea.
14) Peppermint:
Super easy to grow just about anywhere, Peppermint is a spreading perennial that has the propensity to take over your garden if you allow it! It's spicy, pungent scent is well known to just about everyone, since it's a popular culinary additive in many foods and candies.
Medicinally, Peppermint is useful for aiding digestion and getting rid of flatulence (gas). It has mild anti-spasmodic properties, so if you are experiencing cramps, especially digestive types or menstrual cramps, it can be very helpful.
15) Plantain:
Here is another weed that many people find repugnant, but that is actually an incredibly useful medicinal herb!
According to Rosemary Gladstar, Plantain grows everywhere, and if you invite it in, it will definitely show up.
Plantain is great for liver health, detoxifying and cleansing the blood, and drawing out toxins. I like to infuse it in oil for use in healing salves.
Like Dandelion, this easy to find weed is edible and useful.
16) Rosemary:
Rosemary is a famous culinary herb, and is great for use on red meats and very pungent dishes. Besides this, rosemary has been proven to be helpful for the brain, especially memory functions.
It's high in anti-oxidants, and has mild analgesic (pain relief) properties. Rosemary is a stimulant herb, and is helpful with circulation and low blood pressure. People with high blood pressure need to exercise caution using rosemary medicinally.
Rosemary grows best in hot, dry climates and is native to the Southern European countries.
Besides being a pungent and delicious culinary herb, rosemary provides medicinal qualities and enhances memory.
17) St. John's Wort:
St. John's Wort is a misunderstood plant, in my opinion. It went through a popular phase a few years ago and was touted as being the new natural anti-depressant. St. John's Wort can absolutely help with feelings of mild depression, sadness, grief, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), but it's not a cure-all.
Important to know---St. John's Wort can interact with certain drugs, so be sure you discuss usage with your doctor (as you should with any of these herbs mentioned).
St. John's Wort is also great for neuralgia, and I personally use it as part of my back pain and sciatica regimen with excellent results. I also use it in a tincture form to lift my spirits if I'm feeling down.
Besides all the medicinal qualities of St. John's Wort, it's a really pretty plant. You won't be able to grow it in a super hot area, however, at least it's unlikely. I tried growing it in Las Vegas, and it was a total fail. However, it does well here in the mountains in full sun or partial shade and the cooler climate.
One of my favorite ways to prepare St. John's Wort is as an herbal infused oil. The medicinal species (H. perforatum) releases bright red juices into the oil, creating the most lovely infused oil.
Another safety note for the garden: St. John's Wort has been shown to have potential for phototoxicity, especially in grazing animals if they eat too much. Just be aware and watch what your pastured animals eat.
St. John's Wort is a wonderful healing herb that positively affects the emotions.
18) Thyme:
Thyme, in my opinion, is one of the best plants to use in your garden. It attracts bees, smells lovely, and is incredibly useful for medicinal purposes. It's a small, spreading herb (although some species will grow upright) that is fairly hardy, so if you have rough winters, it may do just fine---you'll be seeing it again in the Spring, with it's pretty scented purple flowers.
Many herbalists forget all about using thyme as a preventative medicinal herb or for helping heal quickly from colds and flus---but it has been shown to fight off colds.
It also has disinfectant properties, and can be used as an effective wash for skin infections or as great sore throat rinse. For medicinal purposes, Thymus vulgaris or Thymus citriodorus (Lemon Thyme) are the best to use.
19) Valerian:
This stately flowering plant can grow to about four feet tall and has lacy white flower clusters. Not only is it a lovely addition to your garden, but it is very useful. It's a strong but safe sedative and is very useful for helping with anxious feelings, sleep issues, and pain relief.
Contraindications: Valerian has the opposite effect on some people, so if you are using it for the first time, do so on a the eve of a day that won't affect you much. These folks are rare, but there are definitely some that don't tolerate it well.
One of nature's best gifts---Valerian is lovely and it is an excellent safe sedative.
20) Yarrow:
Yarrow has many tiny flowers that grow in bunches, and feathery grayish leaves. It's a very pretty plant for your garden. Besides, the parts that grow above ground (leaves, stems, flowers) have medicinal purposes and have been used for thousands of years.
Yarrow is a vulnerary, hemostatic herb. Besides helping with healing and clotting of wounds, yarrow is good for helping reduce fevers, hay fever, and fighting colds. As a fever reducer, it is important to note that yarrow induces sweating, so if the person already has a hot fever, yarrow is probably not the best choice to use.

Finally, finally we can say: Fallen London has an official companion tea!
We’ve been very blessed to work with Friday Afternoon Tea on an official custom tea blend based on our games!
Friday Afternoon Tea is a geeky, family-owned tea company based in Seattle, USA. Owner Friday Elliott’s unique take on tea blending stems from a neurological cross-wiring known as Lexical-Gustatory Synesthesia: she experiences language (both spoken and written) and abstract concepts as distinct flavour profiles. In short, she literally tastes words and ideas. I've longed to create a tea blend for Fallen London, and as soon as I heard about her work, I was struck with a very compelling desire to know what the Neath would taste like when filtered through her remarkable talent. I’m delighted to share that after discussing and playing our games, she’s come up with something wonderfully apropos.
Love & Murder is a deep, delectable draught with a perfect balance of heady floral and dank earthy notes. The blend features puer aged tea, reishi mushroom, rose petal, linden flower and roasted dandelion root.
It’s just the thing to brew up for a long evening in with Mask of the Rose. I hope you’ll give it a try, and I’d like to thank my colleagues and the members of the community who were able to taste test it with us at our last live event!
Try some yourself!

I adore dandelion root tea.
It's a deeper flavor, especially the roasted. if you crave coffee, but it's too late for you to have caffeine, dandelion root has a nice bitterness to it.
dandelions are so overlooked. their leaves are good for salads and their yellow flowers are good for wine. their fluffs are good for wishes.
It's also supposed to be anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is the cause behind a LOT of health issues.
Enjoy some dandelion root tea this fall.

I was tagged by @ane-doodles!
Get to Know Me Game
rules: answer + tag six people u want to know
fav color: I don't have strong opinions about my favorite color, but I like violet and green.
last song: Apink - I'm So Sick. I love how their sound has matured in recent years
currently reading: I actually haven't started another book after finishing the last one a couple weeks ago... I guess I'm in the middle of reading this article for research purposes though. My graduate school research is based on wind storms in the Arctic, its effects, and how it has evolved. I'm looking to publish a paper soon, but I need to zone in on a specific application, and I'm looking at vessel icing (when ice from sea spray coats the outside of ships) right now.
currently watching: I'm not much of a TV series person... A couple weeks ago, though, I watched an episode and a half of the new Fallout series with my best friend @iamuxie.
currently craving: God. Everything? I'm really craving fish tacos, specifically the fish tacos that -- holy shit I don't remember what the restaurant was called. I had to look it up, I'm so ashamed. Okay I found it, it's tilapia with shredded cabbage and cream poblano sauce, and I usually ordered them with fried mushrooms. Anyway if you ever find yourself in San Antonio, Texas, where I had the pleasure of living for four years, check out Tycoon Flats and get the fish tacos
coffee or tea: TEA I don't really like coffee much at all but I have tea pretty much daily. Today I had some roasted dandelion root tea, which.... ironically is said to be a good substitute for coffee

I was weeding dandelions from our apartment yard as part of our community yard work event. I dug up the roots, collected them, then rinsed, peeled and dried them! Two steps left: roasting and brewing. The "tea" it makes is supposedly a lot like coffee in taste! Historically, it has been used as a coffee substitute during hard times in Finland.
Now (June) was probably not the best time to collect them, because dandelions are flowering and the nutrients have gone from the root to the flower. Before flowering in the spring or after wilting in the autumn would be best to get less bitter roots. But at least our yard looks cleaner!

Having a coffee that's just a watered down coffee today has been a pretty chill experience [it's causing bubbles but not like extreme gastric distress], mostly because for a while now I have just been putting everything I should be drinking in large cups of boiling water all at once and simply drinking it with no cream or sugar and no regard to taste.
I can't even actually tell you whether it tastes good or bad, but I have been drinking a concoction of lemon juice, frozen cranberries, green tea, black tea, turmeric, and a packet of gelatin [not flavoured or sweetened jello, knox gelatin], and sometimes a pinch of dried roasted dandelion roots or a little pinch of coffee grounds or both. In nearly a liter of hot water. Much to -your- horror, nothing but the black tea is in a bag or filter the rest is all lose in there.
It looks and feels very "swamp potion a kid would make" only I am a grownup and actually downing it all. The lemon and cranberry have tasted good next to chocolate... I cannot evaluate the rest of the flavour.
Potion of kidney recovery.
I ate one can of beets fried in avocado oil and put into wraps, but I think I am done with the beets for now. The bone pain is mostly gone and I just need to make sure the gout is too. my hands, feet and shoulders are still sore, and I can't tell if they are just healing or if I still have gout.
I want steak and cokey cola so bad. Life is sadness.
#correction the gelatin is to help my joints heal from the gout#not directly to help my kidneys#but who knows if the main culprit is autoimmune attack and stress for the test my kidneys may need to actually heal more than#more than just needing not to be taxed#maybe one or two steaks won't hurt????????????#I want my shoulder to stop aching every time I try to move it T~T#I promise I really am recovering though#it has stopped getting worse and I am in much less pain#and I can still pee!

Sick Day
Just a little something for @necroticguts who is sick with the flu. Kore can't be there to look after you, so I hope this helps you live vicariously through Eden.
Feel better soon!
⋆。˚ ☁︎ ˚。⋆。˚☽˚。⋆
Eden lay in bed, the curtains drawn to snuff out as much light as possible. The small bits of light that peeped out at him were agony. He’d managed to catch some kind of flu, and there was so much pressure in his head it felt like it would soon explode. Eden didn’t get sick often, but when he did it was bad. It took a lot to make him stay in bed and rest. Kore had opted to stay home from school and look after him, despite Eden’s protests that he was fine. Secretly he was happy with her decision, but he would never say.
“I’m back.” Kore said softly as she slipped back into the room. She’d stepped out to get flu medicine, and also held a steaming mug in her hands.
“What’s that?” Eden groggily pushed himself up off his pillow and jerked his head to the mug. They could never justify the cost of tea, but Kore had a good stock pile of herbs and flowers that she could brew.
“I thought you could do with a treat.” She said, passing Eden the mug as she sat on the edge of the bed to go through the cold and flu medicine.
“You didn’t.” Eden felt a small pang of affection for his girlfriend as he leaned down to smell the murky brown liquid in the mug. An earthy mocha scent greeted Eden, and he closed his eyes to better enjoy it. Kore made a wonderful drink out of roasted dandelion root that Eden would take over tea or coffee any time. It tasted dark, and comforting, without the nervousness that usually came with caffeine.
“Of course I did.” Kore gives Eden an adoring smile before she fishes a couple of pills out of the bottle. “Here, take these. They’ll make you a little sleepy, and should help with the misery you’re in.”
Eden took the pills from Kore, trusting her choice of medicine. If it were anyone else he’d have insisted on at least looking over the bottle, but he trusted her. Eden downed the pills with his drink, finally feeling some relief from the scratching in his throat. As he finished his drink, Kore moved up the bed and snuggled into the corner, running her legs along the top of the bed. She pulled her skirt up a bit, and Eden rested his head on her thighs. Eden had a tendency to run hot, but Kore ran blessedly cool. Her soft skin was better than any ice pack the wild youth could ask for.
“Want me to read to you?” Kore asked softly, her chilly fingers playing with the hair plastered to Eden’s forehead with sweat.
“Mm, no.” He was really too tired for a book right now. ”Sing me that song you like? The frog one.”
“Rainbow Connection?” Eden can hear the mirth in Kore’s voice. He always told her that he didn’t really care for the song, and it’s mostly true. He just liked Kore’s voice.
Eden made an affirmative grunt, nuzzling into Kore’s thighs briefly. She continued to stroke his hair, and as Kore began to sing Eden felt some of the tension leave him. He was glad Kore had stayed back to look after him. She’d probably get sick next, but he’d look after her in turn. It was nice sometimes to just let her look after him. It was comforting in a way Eden hadn’t experienced much.
The flu medicine did its work, and with Kore’s gentle voice in his ears Eden soon drifted off.

───────────────────────────────
[ part two - why should i try it? ]

Dark/Rainy Hollow Tea
Here's a little recipe for tea that serves you beautifully on a dark, and moody rainy day. It's been passed down through oral tradition, so I'll do my best to write down more precise instructions.
Per your preference, decoct roasted powdered dandelion root, elder berries, and nettle leaves for ~10 minutes (use 1/2 of dandelion, and about 1 TBSP of the other herbs per 3 cups of water)
Enjoy plain, or with a dash of milk and honey for some extra flavor
