Rusel Last Integral Healing

Prunella vulgaris- Self Heal. An amazing herb and sharing knowledge of herbs to empower folks in caring for themselves is a privilege. After a bush walk over the weekend, Alison found a leech on her leg. A little while later, chatting with a burly bikie wearing rosemary for remembrance (another excellent medicinal herb) they discovered a mutual dislike of leeches and allergic reactions. Alison told her new bikie mate about prunella. He looked it up on his phone there and then and said he knew where to find some to plant at his home. Good result all round.
If you’d like to know how to use it, let me know in the comments.

It’s been a while since we did, “What’s for dinner?” So here’s tonight. We cooked some brown rice with seaweed to add nutrients. Steamed broccoli, snap peas, corn and asparagus. Fresh perilla, mint and chicory. Chopped mango and Kiama Fisheries prawns. We added some chopped fresh yellow Aji chilli and a yummy dressing

We are safely home on beautiful Dharawal Country after our holiday in Aotearoa. This pic is from our last night after climbing Mount Mangere, an old volcano. Breathtaking views. Crisp windswept air. How lucky are we?

Beautiful time spent on Maungatautari over the last couple of days. Today we had the privilege of learning about Māori Rangoa (herbal medicine). We had a Māori herbalist as our guide through the forest. Rus and Jamie shared many herbal morsels of information.

It’s Kiama Farmers' Market day so using up the last of last week’s produce and adding in some new. The end meal is a prawn salad. Sautéed kumara from Yuri. Green beans and asparagus from Rita’s. Prawns from the Top Shop as we drove to Kiama Fisheries and they had closed for the day 🥺I’ll add some basil, home grown chilli and garlic, cucumber and baby broccoli for crunch and maybe a bit of celery for extra crunchy. Drizzle with a dressing made with Passion Project’s carrot top pesto. No waste. All taste. Get into your veggies.

That’s cool! Yoghurt, grated cucumber and home-grown mint for a quick addition to a tandoori chicken dinner
