<description><![CDATA[As summer nights lengthen into autumn, the forests of the Catskill mountains in upstate New York fill with magical, mystical, medicinal mushrooms. "Toadstool" is a quaint name for the many mushrooms that spring forth between rains, while "fungi" is the more technical term. Fungi are plants, but plants without flowers or roots or chlorophyll (which makes plants green).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the best ways to "get" herbal medicine is to learn a little botany. Plants are grouped into botanical families, and plants in the same family often have very similar properties. In previous columns, we've looked at the malva (Malvaceae), the rose (Rosaceae) and the buckwheat (Polygonaceae) families. That's about 5000 plants we've become familiar with. But that's only a few, compared to the family we're about to meet: the Asteraceae (Aster-a-cee-a).]]></description>

A spiral is movement around and beyond a circle, always returning to itself, but never at exactly the same place.

<description><![CDATA[An infusion is a large amount of herb brewed for a long time. Typically, one ounce by weight (about a cup by volume) of dried herb is placed in a quart jar, which is then filled to the top with boiling water, tightly lidded and allowed to steep for 4-10 hours. After straining, a cup or more is consumed, and the remainder chilled to slow spoilage. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Please allow me to offer you some ways to deal with your interstitial cystitis. I agree that antibiotics are not the best choice. Women with cystitis have bacteria in their urine; antibacterial drugs or herbs (such as uva ursi, yarrow, cranberry, or echinacea) usually restore health quickly. Women with IC, however, have no bacteria in their urine, so antibacterial agents fail to relieve the distress.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Virtually every woman alive has had one or more run-ins with vaginal yeast. Candida albicans is a single-celled organism, a kind of acidophilus. When the vaginal pH is acidic, Lactobaccillus rules. When the vaginal environment becomes alkaline, Candida proliferates. Candida - monilia, moniliasis, yeast, the whites, leucorrhea - is characterized by a thick, white, yeasty-smelling, lumpy, vaginal discharge which is highly irritating to the vulva. Candida can also live on the skin, nails, mouth, lungs, and feet (called athlete's foot); it is part of healthy intestinal flora. There is no connection between vaginal candida and overgrowth of candida anywhere else in the body. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wise women believe that most of the problems of pregnancy can be prevented by attention to nutrition. Morning sickness and mood swings are connected to low blood sugar; backaches and severe labor pains often result from insufficient calcium; varicose veins, hemorrhoids, constipation, skin discoloration and anemia are evidence of lack of specific nutrients; pre-eclampsia, the most severe problem of pregnancy, is a form of acute malnutrition. Excellent nutrition includes pure water, controlled breath, abundant light, loving and respectful relationships, beauty and harmony in daily life, joyous thoughts and vital foodstuffs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Fear and anxiety are closely linked, but quite different. Fear is focused, anxiety is diffuse. Fear is health promoting and protective: it keeps us from jumping off cliffs. Anxiety can destroy health and increase our vulnerability: it shortens our breath, narrows our blood vessels, and interferes with the functioning of the immune system. Fear is useful energy; it calls to our courage. Anxiety is useless; it promotes feelings of insecurity, helplessness, weakness. ]]></description>
