`
`A natural, plant-based cure for whatails you Localtea shops, juiceries and herbalists share their recommendations for customers
`feeling under the (cold, wet, winter) weather.
`
`With coronavirus in the news and spring more than a month away, local purveyors ofplant-based drinks report business remains
`brisk.
`
`"We have a lot of people comingin this time of year looking for cold cures or immunityboosters," said Jesse Lamon, who co-
`owns Wanderlust Juicery in Freeport.
`
`It's the same story at herbal apothecary Homegrown Herb & Tea in Portland, where herbalist Sarah Richards prescribes both
`standard mixes and customblendstailored to particular symptoms.
`
`"There are lots of people coming in looking for blends because they're coming down with a cold," Richards said. "The energy
`of the season is high Kapha with a lot of heavy, cold and damp energythat contributes to seasonal lethargy and chest colds.
`Things don't flowin the winter the way they do so easily others times of year."
`
`The cure, according to Richards and others, is "herbs and foods that warm you and get your digestion moving."
`
`Ingredients that contain big doses of antioxidants, such as lemons; or possess antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties,
`suchas garlic and ginger, are popular go-tos during cold and flu season.
`
`"This winter, we're doing a ginger-lemonshot that sells really well," said Bryna Gootkind, who co-owns LB Kitchen, with
`locations in Portland's West End and East End.
`
`In Belfast at The Alchemist Plant Based Wellness Cafe, co-owner Linda Prichard said the ginger-turmeric-garlic shot is a steady
`seller at this time of year, while the similar turmeric-ginger shot at Wanderlust is "very popular," according to Lamon.
`
`Lamonalso recommends Wanderlust's Brazil nut mylks as a preventative, saying "Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium,
`which boosts immunity."

`
`Ellen Kanner at Dobra Tea in Portland's Old Port said at this time of year customers order a lot of the Immuni-Tea blend, with
`echinacea, schisandra, dandelion and nettles, and the Throat Soother, with raspberryleaf, slippery elm and mullein. The latter
`is also popular year-round with singers.
`
`I asked each of these experts to share the details of one oftheir top-selling seasonal elixirs that can heal, tame or help prevent
`cold and flu. Here is what they recommend.
`
`n
`
`CBD Hemp Chaga Chat
`
`Dobra Tea, 89 ExchangeSt., Portland
`
`Calling it a "huge hit this winter," co-owner Ellen Kannersaid this hot chai containsa traditional masala chai spice blend (packed
`with antimicrobial power) mixed with either steamed cow's milk or vegan coconut milk. The star ingredients are antioxidant-
`packed chaga mushroom powder and Maine-grown hemp flowers, which contain the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
`compound cannabidiol (CBD) along with other flavonoids, terpenes and phytochemicals.
`
`n
`
`Simple Winter Tonic
`
`Homegrown Herb & Tea, 195 Congress St., Portland
`
` t Sarah Richards recommendsthis blend for all constitutions (or "doshas" in the Ayurvedic tradition). It's made with
`echinacea, elderflowers, lemongrass, ginger and ginseng and is brewed with slices of fresh ginger when ordered hotin the tea
`shop. Richards also sells the blend in bulk or in sets of individual tea bags. "Ginger is warming," Richards said. "Echinacea is
`clarifying and cleansing. Ginseng cleanses the blood and eliminates excess fluid. Elderflowers are an excellent remedy for lung
`infections and congestion. I often adda little extra this or that for a custom tweak."
`
`n B
`
`lue Chai
`
`LB Kitchen, 249 Congress St. & 231 York St., Portland
`
`The bright blue color of this drink comes from superfood blue spirulina, a fresh-water algae rich in anti-inflammatory
`compounds, and butterfly pea flower, an herb packed with antioxidants. The twoare part of a premixed powder blend containing
`ashwagandha, matcha and astragalus, all adaptogenic herbs said to lessen the effects of bodily stressors. Chai is added along
`with either steamed almond or oat milk. "Blue spirulina is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet in terms of its
`mineral profile and having more protein than anyother plant by volume," co-owner Bryna Gootkind said.

`
`A soothing drink for those with a scratchy throat, this juice can be served warm to provide extra comfort. It is made with juiced
`lemons and ginger mixed with apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper and honeyor- for a vegan version - maple syrup. "I had three
`tr
`people yesterday thatsaid, 'I have a tickle in my throat and my head doesn't feel right,’"said co-owner Linda Prichard, who
`recommendedthis tonic for all three. "Apple cider vinegar helps alkalize blood and wardoff any illness that might be taking
`hold. And I love that a single lemon has a thousand times the vitamin C you needina day.It's cheaper than vitamin supplements."
`
`n
`
`Immunity Booster Juice
`
`Wanderlust Juicery, 4 Mechanic St, Freeport
`
`Those who feel run down or knowthey've been exposed toillness often order this juice, according to co-owner Jesse Lamon.
`"We call it an immunity booster, but it's also good for recovery," Lamonsaid. Juiced lemons, pineapple, ginger and turmeric
`are mixed with coconut milk. "Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and goodat relieving muscle aches and pains," Lamonsaid. "It's
`good forcirculation and healing injuries. The anti-inflammatorybenefits help you feel better when you're sick."

`Herbs for Health: Lockport he ist teaches the roots of wellness
`
`
`
`While the newyear rings in a laundry list of intimidating healthful resolutions, one goal we can easily achieve in 2020 is to
`reinstate our relationship with plants.
`
`Denyel Beiter
`
`Whether enjoying a tulsi-based tea to help with a cold, taking a lemon balm bath to support Seasonal Affective Disorder, or
`adding a few drops of CBD oil to our skin for pain relief, plant-based medicines are seemingly endless. You probablyalready
`have ingredients in your pantry (or medicine cabinet) right now.Cinnamon, lavender, peppermint, garlic, ginger, chamomile,
`and echinacea canall be used to support a healthylifestyle. Through a local community education programcalled Reciprocal
`Roots, those interested in wellness can learn howto properly infuse the beneficial components ofplants into teas, salves, oils
`and tinetures."Priorto the early 1900's, we had an herbalist in every house," she said during a recent interview. "We called them
`rn
`‘mom’and 'grandma.'"
`The deep relationship between humans and nature coupled with generations ofsitting bedside withthe
`sick led to a rich history in herbal remedies for both preventative and diagnostic care.Grohman makesit easy to learn, hosting
`seminars at several locations across Western NewYork including Singer Farm Naturals in Appleton, Crazy Train Apothecary
`in Lewiston, The Schoolhouse Wellness Center in Lockport and Burning Books in Buffalo.During classes, new and returning
`students gather aroundatable, sipping Kristin's tea and talking plants. Each week is different, sometimes delving into a topic such
`as "Herbal Support for the Winter Blues" or focusing on one plantfor the evening. "I teach a healthy balance ofphytochemistry
`along with anatomyand physiology. Being an k rbalist
`is just as much understanding the human bodyasit is understanding
`plants. If you don't understand howyour body works, then you don't knowhowtotreatit," she explained.Hand-outs, flip charts,
`and herbal samples adorn the large table. Some students bring binders with years of notes. Some are sitting down without
`a pen and taking it all in. Everyone is brimming with questions and Kristin has the answers. Her students include children,
`teens, adults, business owners, retirees, men, women and even a pharmacist. She stands at the head ofthe table and presents
`information about the chemistry of plants, its reactions with our body, and even touches on the safety of herbal interactions
`with prescribed medications. If she doesn't knowthe answer, she finds it after class and follows up with the class.Kristin, along
`with the help of her husband, Kanjo, a Buddhist priest, are actively growing the reach of Reciprocal Roots. They have held
`two herbal conferences where vendors, guests, and speakers from around the United States gathered at Singer Farms to share
`knowledge and break bread.Outside of community events, Reciprocal Roots offers retail products that are balanced to be safe
`and effective for anyone who wants to consume them. Shoppers can find teas, elixirs, tinctures and their magazine at Singer
`FarmNaturals and during select Lockport Community Markets. For a more personalized experience, Reciprocal Roots offers
`consultation services, where Kristin recommendrecipes, blends, and practices specific to the needsof an individual. Their next
`endeavoris a large scale, strategically planned, medicinal garden for community use this year. On the distant horizon: a full
`herbal school with lots of land to cultivate."I just want to educate. I want people to have their health be in their own control,"

`it deep in our DNAthat plants are medicine. That's scientific. We have receptors that match the phytochemistry of plants and
`turn on switches ofhealing in us. They restore us. They do not deplete."For more information on events and services, check out

` s Guide To Avoiding Coronavirus
`
`Miriam Kresh
`
`We've learned from studying the "Spanish flu" of 1918 that a deadly virus can spread world-wide. But we know much more
`about contamination, containing disease, and treatment today. Countries around the globe are making anhistoric effort to contain
`the Corona virus.
`
`Although Coronavirus seems to have started in China, when people ate contaminated animal meat, it nowspreads, like the
`commoncold, person-to-person. Breathing invisible droplets sneezed or coughed out by sick people can make you sick. Even
`touching a surface that's contaminated, then touching your nose, mouth, or eyes can doit.
`
`While everyone's hoping for the development of an anti-Corona vaccine, we don't have to wait to take preventative steps. Keep
`to the simple instructions laid out by the WHO: wash your hands frequently; stay at least 6 feet away from anyone sick; when
`in public, avoid being in the area of people coughing or sneezing; if you need to sneeze, doit into the crook of your elbowto
`contain droplets. And if you do get sick, stay home.
`
`Henriette Kress, one of the West's most respected herbalists, lays out a herbal protocol for those whofall ill. With Kress's
`permission, we quote her here.
`
`"If you get hit with any influenzaat all, (including this one):
`
`1) Stay in bed for at least seven days. You won't be able to get up anyway during the first three days, but just sit tight, don't
`do anything, for a full week. Yes, it's boring, but it's better than the alternative: opportunistic infections (sequelae), the worst
`of them being pneumonia.
`
`2) Take vitamin D (in large enough doses) and drink low-sugar berry juices, loaded with vitamin C, or take vitamin C in large
`enough doses. (Kress defines berry juices as Elderberry juice, black currant juice or whatever local immune-boosting juices
`you have. As lowsugaras is still drinkable.’ She recommendshalf a mug ofhot juice every half hour or so. No juice available?
`Gowith lots of vitamin C, up to bowel tolerance.)
`
`3) Layoff the sugar. That's no sweets, honey, bread, rice, potatoes and so on. Simple carbs are banned for the duration.
`
`4) Herbally, Echinacea has been shownto clobber ALL influenza viruses except for adeno (which has a different structure).That
`includes corona, sars, mers, HIN1, H5N1, parainfluenza, influenza A, influenza B ... the works.
`
`WESTLAW
`
`

`

`Herbalist's Guide To Avoiding Coronavirus, 2020 WLNR 4067629
`
`Take the tincture often, rather than only 3x/day. So 10 drops every 10 minutes, 30 drops every 30 minutes, and forget the myth
`that you shouldn't take it long-term ... you should absolutely take it for as long as youstill suffer fromthis particular virus. And
`a fewdaysafter that too, in order to avoid all opportunistic bugs.
`
`Grab enough of it, make enoughofit, you'll go through oodles if and when you need it, so keep it in the house.”
`
`Green Prophtet notes: It's cheaper to make tincture yourself, and notat all hard. At this time of year, it's hard to get your hands
`on fresh echinacea herb, butit's easily available online, and manyhealth food stores carry it also.
`
`Howto make echinaceatincture from dried leaf: put 100 grams of dried echinacea leaves in a very clean, dry jar. Pour 500 ml.
`(2 cups) of, optimally, 60% alcohol — vodka will do if necessary — over the herb. Stir with a clean spoon to release air bubbles.
`Cap tightly and store in a dark, cool place 3 weeks. Strain the infused liquid into anothercleanjar. It's nowreadyforuse.
`
`It's best to acquire dropper bottles and a small funnel to fill them, but you can use quarter- and half-teaspoons to measure
`doses. See howto measuretincture doses by teaspoonhere: https://travelingleaf.com/2017/07/post- 196-how-to-measure-herbal-
`tinctures-chart/
`
`Consult a herbal practitioner to understand how mucha patient needs to take, and howoften. Manypractitioners are available
`online or by phonefor simple instructions.
`
`To continue with Kress's suggestions:
`
`"5) Avoid aspirin or NSAIDS. They increase viral shedding (spreading to others) and extend the duration of active infection.
`Their antiinflammatoryeffects are thus also immune-suppressing. Take herb teas that help you sweat, like elder flower or
`yarrow) and antispasmodics: herbs that stop cramps, like valerian and viburnum." (Green Prophet note: common chamomile
`tea is also antispasmodic, and available in every grocery store.)

` ssful treatment program for a woman who hadfibroids. When in doubt, orif expe-
`acing serious health problems, consult a health care professional.
`
`ose your primary health care professional carefully. After all, ir is your body, your
`
`caith, and sometimesit’s yourlife that is at stake when you consult a health care per-
`
`on. | recommend, when possible, selecting a doctor whois either holistically minded
` rat the very least, sympathctic and responsive toward other systems ofhealing. It is ex-
` emely difficult to work with a health care professional who is from “the dector is god”
`chool of medicine.
`
`‘Tris also wise, though not many women do it, to choose a health care professional
`
`‘when you are in a state of good health—not vulnerable and emotionally stressed from
`
`an illness. Whenill, a person is more likely to make decisions orallow medical proce-
`
`dures that would not normally be acceptable to them. It may seem simpler and easier to
`
`do so than to question the doctor. After all, these are the “doctor's orders.” But often
`
`what seems simple may in fact carn out to be quite involved and complex. If you have
`
` already developed a relationship of trust and acceptance with a health care person when
` you are well, she or he will have a better understanding of you and be more willing to
`work with your needs whenyouareill.
`
`In ancient Chinese medical practices, the doctor was hired to keep his patients well. If
`his clients becameill, he provided medical treatment at no cost. And his primary system
`
`of medicine was herbal. Would that we could find medical practitioners like that today!
`
`Hetbalism is a marvelous system of healing, but it doesn’t work for every situation
`
`andit certainly doesn’t work for everyone. [t would be ludicrous to imagine that any one
`
`system of healing would hold the answers to every health concern or that everybody
`
`should use the same system (which is what the AMA has decided for us). My familyis a
`
`good example. I have found that herbs answer my almost every need. They always help
`
`me, so I always choose to use them. My husband hasa differentrelationship with herbs.
`
`Whenill he finds herbs helpful, but he also relies on allopathic medicarions to augment
`
`the herbs. One of my daughters has found herbalism an excellent system of healing and
`
`uses herbs every day for a rather serious condition with which she was born. My other
`
`daughterhas less patience with herbs, and though she uses them and enjoys them, she’s
`
`less likely to reach for the tincture botele at the first sign of a cold or flu. I've cometo re-
`
`spect these differences in people over the years and have becomeless fanatical abour
`
`thinking that this system—or anysystem, for that matter—is for everybody. I offer the
`
`herbalist system ofhealing primarily because it has been neglected for so long and be-
`
`cause I have foundit to be so very effective—especially for women’s health problems.

`the beginning. You'll find row upon row ofjars Sted with herbs of unusual odors, beau-
`tifal colors, strange-sounding names. A few of- the names will be familiar—basil,
`oregano, comfrey, thyme. But many will seem peculiar and unusual. There will be herb
`pills, capsules, syrups, and a variety of tinctures, salves, and ointments. To add to the
`confusion,
`there will often be rows of vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies,
`Ayruvedic remedies, and Chinese remedies. You may even feel you've entered. a different
`eral Tr can be quite a perplexing adventure, to say the least. But dont give up and walk
`out. Most herb stores employ herbalists or a knowledgeable clerk. Don't hesitate to ask
`for help. Ifyou don’t have a supplier of herbs close by, you can always mail-order them.
`There are several excellent mail order companiesthat supply high-quality herbs; some of
`them are listed in Appendix II. However, though it’s simpler and often less confusing to
`order your herbs through the mail, a visit to the herb store, especially after the initial
`confusion wearsoff, is an enchanted delight notto be missed.
`
`
`
`Shouto Determine Dosage
`
`
`
`Determining the correct dosage ofan herbal remedy can be confusing.It's not as simple
`as prescribing “two tablets of aspirin three times daily” (though I think prescribing “regu
`lar,” orthodox medicineis far more ofan art chan a science and that it requires more incu-
`ition and trast than we are fed wo believe). When using herbs, one needs to take into
`account the constitution ofthe person, the strength of the herb(s) being used, and the na-
`ture of the imbalance.
`I have included general recommendations throughout this book,
`but to makeit easier | thought it would be helpful to include the following chart. Remem-
`ber,
`it ig just for general purposes. Ultimately, you must trust the wisdom of your own
`body; listen to whatit’s telling you.
`"| have genefally found that when an herbal formula is not working ic is cither because
`the herbs being used are of inferior quality or it is due to insufficient herbal dosages. As
`long as the herb(s) are considered safe and nontoxic. do not be afraid to increase the
`dosage. It is alwayssensible vo stare with smaller dosages, but perfectly appropriate to in-
`crease the dosage'as necessary. Research the herbs that you are using to derermine if there
`is any known toxicity from using chem. Andlisten,listen to your sacred sense of knowing;
`it will guide you.
