Stoneroot (Collinsonia canadensis, Lamiaceae) is a useful plant for vascular health issues. This includes hemorrhoids, in which the blood vessels around the anus get swollen or inflamed. It can be used internally and applied externally. Be cautious if applying the tincture externally, as it can cause searing pain.

And, of course, what is an herb school without learning to fly on a broom (pointy hat, optional). Danielle and Lindsay are now up to Brooming 102. (Look up the next time there is a full moon and a strange shadow falls in front of you).

Grey and Black
This photo was taken right before the students left the Gesundheit Institute on our last field trip of the year. I will miss our spontaneous late evening discussions. But we still have a few months together to delve ever deeper into the intricacies of herbal medicine.
I feel very fortunate to have so many interested and interesting folks around me. It helps dissolve the stagnation that can come with age (I turn 65 soon enough). I also feel very fortunate to have chosen to study and practice herbal medicine and to share what I have learned over the years.
I will not be teaching my school next year, as I try and sort out what I want to do in my later years. I will be teaching again in 2024, but I am not sure after that.
As I have posted recently, I hope that I can continue to be a resource for those interested in plants and their potential uses.
Ta, ~7Song.

This is a Fringed gentian (Gentianopsis crinita, Gentianaceae). It is the first time I have seen this species, and a big thanks to Robert Wesley for letting me know where to find them. I was surprised to see them along the roadside, as I usually see Gentian species in more intact environments (see below photo). Another lovely purple flower. Ithaca, NY. September 19, 2022
