A tea made of the root is an excellent anti-spasmodic and used in the treatment of menstrual cramps. The affinity of this herb for female complaints, and it’s slow growth are part of the reasons for it’s status as endangered. Trillium can be cultivated in gardens through seed. It take’s two years to germinate and another two years to bloom,. Trillium’s common name is “birth root”.

Medical marijuana can help patients reduce their dependence on prescription medications. Cannabis has been a medicinal plant of unparalleled versatility for thousands of years. It is one of the most well known, and at the same time, most misunderstood plants in existence today.Cannabis relieves pain, protects our cells, relaxes, aids with eating, helps sleep, and integrates emotional trauma.
How is it that one plant can help so many diseases, symptoms and syndromes? Cannabis interacts with our six-hundred-million-year-old internal biological signaling system in our bodies, known scientifically as the endocannabinoid system. This system modulates pain, mood, appetite, immunity, inflammation, nerves protection, movement, and even cancer cell regulation. Because of this, when studying the science of cannabis, it is imperative to approach it from a holistic point of view.
Join us for a FREE discussion with naturopathic physician, cannabis lecturer and expert Dr. Jake Felice, and learn more about how medical cannabis can affects health and disease.

Calendula for wounds, burns, bruises…. now flowering in Seattle
Calendula supports connective tissue and is good for wounds, burns, bruises, and boils. It is great for skin lesions in slow wound healers such as diabetics. Calendula is an “antiseptic-demulcent”. This is a rare quality as few antiseptics help sooth the skin. A succus of the fresh plant is best for skin. Calendula is also a wound healer and lymph mover. Calendula is drying, so is especially good for “moist” skin conditions. For tea, use 2-3 heaping tablespoons per cup of water. Use flowers prior to opening fully. Do not use internally during pregnancy.
Below is a list of several peer-reviewed references showing the healing power of calendula.
