Tea Tree Essential Oil Activates White Blood Cells
Tea Tree Essential Oil Activates White Blood Cells
Researchers at the Department of Research, Lombard, USA, say that tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) works by activating white blood cells in the body.
According to them, tea tree oil has been used since the 1920s as a topical antiseptic and has been found to be more effective than the drug, Phenol.
Their results showed that the tea tree oil increased the activation of white blood cells in the blood serum. The report concluded that one reason why tea tree oil appears to be such an effective topical antiseptic is the beneficial effect it exerts activating whiteblood cells.

Eating Edible Wild Foods: Lambs Quarters, More than a Spinach Substitute
Eating Edible Wild Foods: Lambs Quarters, More than a Spinach Substitute
By Catherine Novak
Most early summers, I spent some time foraging for wild herbs to bring more food and medicines to our household. I especially enjoy the ease of identifying and gathering Lambs Quarter leaves.
Now is the time to enjoy reaping the benefits of the autumn seed harvest. You can, too. The seeds can be added to cereals, cold and hot, as well as to muffins, like you would poppy seeds.
If you’re a fan of spinach cooked in various dishes, you may enjoy the milder taste ofChenopodium album, also known as Lambs Quarters.
Often people want to add wild foods to their diet, but aren’t sure about dealing with unfamiliar flavors and textures. One of the benefits of Lambs Quarters is its extremely mild taste. In fact, my six-year-old son prefers the flavor of Lambs Quarters to the stronger flavor of spinach.

Sirius Rising and Starwood 2005
Just got back from Sirius Rising and Starwood's 25th anniversary bash.
This year the Wise Weeds booth was right next to the famous "Phil's Grill," just down the road from our spot of the last two years.
Saw some old friends and made a few new ones. Many thanks to Dustin, Deanna and Naomi for running my booth so that I could attend or present workshops, as well as get to cool off in the pool on some of the hot days where I was melting in the middle of the afternoon.
Did I mention that this was the first year I was a presenter at Starwood? Herbal Safety: Medicinal vs. Magical Herbs, Scents & Scentsuality, and Love as Thou Will (with Ed Hubbard). All of the workshops went off, with Love as Thou Will on polyamory garnering the largest audience.
When I get a chance, I'll talk more about these events and other exciting news.
