Do you know what this beautiful plant is? It is grows everywhere, in your back yard, along the street or highway as it's waving in the wind saying "hello".  If you have not guest, it is Verbesina enceliodes, or more commonly know as Anil del Muerto. According to Anthropological Papers of the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan, you can boil the flowers in water, drain and drink for ulcers. Also make a decoction of the aerial parts for flatulence. But do you know what the primary use of this plant is? It is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, especially around orifices and when caused by stress. The tea is very helpful in promoting sweating to break a fever, and has a mild relaxing and laxative effect. 
The flowers smell a little like rotting meat; hence the name, which means "sunflower of the dead"

Have you ever had thoughts about if your body is in balance with nutrients and minerals.  Today people tend too take to many or to little on supplements, thinking it's helping their bodies.  Did you know that your hair contains all the minerals present in your body, including nutritional minerals as well as toxic heavy metals. Your hair contains the same proportions of nutrients that are in your body. So doing a hair analysis will tell you if you have deficiencies or excesses. As an example, Zinc is involved in the production, storage, and secretion of insulin and is necessary for growth hormones. Excessive amounts of Zinc can reduce the beneficial effect of Vitamin D. Magnesium is required for normal muscular function, especially the heart. A deficiency has been associated with an increase incidence of heart attacks, anxiety and nervousness. Frontal headaches (behind the eyes) are associated with too much copper. Milagro Herbs offers a full spectrum hair analysis. Come by or call for more detail, (505)820-6321.

Herbal Intensives 

Introduction to Herbal Actions and Energetics: We will begin this class exploring some basic herbal energetics, classifying herbs (with our senses) in terms of their qualities of hot, cold, dry, or damp. We will also talk about our own energetics as individuals (“I always run hot”… "My skin is super dry all year”…), and think about appropriate herbal compliments for individual constitutions and imbalances. In the second part of this class we will introduce some principle herbal actions, give herbal examples, and discuss how these actions are relevant to common ailments. This class goes beyond a “this herb for that illness” approach and presents a much more dynamic, personalized, and effective way to match herbs to individuals. A great place to begin your herbal journey or to dive deeper. $25. Thursday, November 7th, 10 am-Noon. Instructor: Emily Rose

Easing Tense Bellies with Bitters, Aromatics and Nervines: It is no secret that our nervous and digestive systems are directly connected. When you have had a stressful day, even the most simple meal can cause indigestion. In this class we will discuss herbs that act on both of these systems. We will talk about the use of bitters, aromatics, and nervines to support healthy digestion and a calm state of emotional and mental well being. $25. Thursday, November 14th, 10 am-Noon. Instructor: Emily Rose

Topical & Internal Remedies for Muscles, Nerves, Joints and Bones: In this class we will focus on herbs and lifestyle choices that support a healthy musculoskeletal system. We will talk about common complaints such as back and neck pain, sciatica, tendonitis, and osteoporosis. We will discuss both internal and topical remedies. $25. Thursday, November 21st, 10 am-Noon. Instructor: Emily Rose

Call us at 505-820-6321 or email us at info@milagroherbs.com or Emilyrose.deck@gmail.com to sign up for the classes. Look for more classes in December and January.

Early spring newsletter 2018

Early Spring Greens (pictured above Sisymbrium altissimum)
​
Despite our erratic weather spring is here! Nature wants to thrive and a short walk around the neighborhood reveals that it is! Our early Spring plants grow in cracks, sidewalks, along fences, in the most inhospitable corners of backyards, basically where sun, gravel and protection meet.  I walked around the Milagro Store building on 5th St. and found numerous early Spring edibles and medicinals.  Mostly dominated by Mustard family plants (Brassicaceae) this is a typical scenario.  Fern leaf and wide leaf, they are standard native growers. And the strong, spicy and bitter flavor in the leaves fits our Spring need for clearing the Liver, while removing toxins accumulated over the last 6-12 months. Mustard greens are eaten throughout the world when the leaves are young and tender, raw or lightly steamed. Throughout the Mediterranean mustard greens are a staple to bring out flavor and bring in nutrition. You might know the Mustard family for many of our cultivars such as arugula, cabbage, and many vegetables used in Chinese cuisine. ​

Late Winter Viruses
"The present period of unprecedented ecological change and the growing economic and social crises that are driving vast movements of hosts are together contributing to the resurgence of old pests and the appearance of new ones. Important components in this rapid evolution are the vulnerabilities of ecosystems and the instabilities in climate."
     -Paul Epstein - Emerging Diseases and Ecosystem Instability: New Threats to Public Health

We are seeing unprecedented climate change and environmental degradation as the corporate industrial economic model ramps up natural resource extraction and ignores associated waste pollution. Ask anyone age 60 and older about the environmental changes they have seen just in their lifetime. The pristine streams and oceans I played in as a child are now toxic and to be avoided. On the surface it appears the same as before, nothing looks different but the changes are on a micro and macro scale. This is not just about species extinction, which does occur naturally, but about short-term irreversible pollution of our Mother Earth. 

Couple those massive changes with degradation of our food and drinking water, wholesale ingestion of pharmaceutical drugs, mass human migration across large geographic areas,and human caused climate change and we are presented with serious day to day health challenges. We can look no further than this winter's influenza outbreak that has resulted in numerous deaths and weaknesses.

Bear Medicine/Winter Solstice

We enter into the darkest day of of the year, The Winter Solstice, after the harvest. The end of summer and early fall represent the harvest; the fruit of our labor; the manifestation of our beliefs and emotions and thoughts. One teacher asked me at this time, "How well did you aim your arrow?" What is the fruit of your emotions? She meant did you achieve your goals of the year? What have you manifested in your life?
   
As the wheel of the year turns away from the harvest, and towards darkness, we are given the relief of Bear Medicine or Introspection. A season to evaluate how well we aimed our arrow. How can we create new goals, that better reflect our changing values.  Dream deep and long and call upon your Loving Ancestors, including Bear, to be nourished by the darkness and to find deeper levels of truth within yourself. Herbal allies for dreaming and resting are: mugwort, damiana, skullcap, rose petals, vervain, and california poppy. Blessed Be and Happy Holidays.
