Remedies: Plant Allies During The Time of COVID19
Excerpt Heading link
I started this Google Doc to compile different resources that folks have been sharing online, different recipes, remedies, and other teachings we carry about plants and herbs that can support and keep us in health. From boosting our immune system to disinfecting and uplifting our spirits, my hope is that we can grow our collective knowledge of plant allies that can support us during this time of urgency. I do not want to promote fear, so we do this to reclaim our power through remembering our relationships to the natural world and realizing that we have sacred tools all around us to support us in creating wellbeing, balance, and health for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Use your medicines, boil cedar (clean the air), make teas (ratroot/Chaga), smudge your homes, pray with good energy. Pray and ask that the spirit of that sickness not to hur our people, they said now is a time to pray, to create a powerful strong relationship with the water, the earth, the elements and the medicines. Scientific fact: stress and fear lower the immune system and makes you more susceptible to sickness.”
