Non's Herblog: Juicing Cleavers
http://nonsherblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/juicing-cleavers.html
Thursday, 28 February 2013. A few people have asked me more about juicing Cleavers. With Cleavers, you’d juice it like you’d juice vegatables or fruit, the juicer will separate liquid from fibre, so you wouldn’t be left with any stringy stuff. It will be quite concentrated, so you might want to dilute it with apple juice or similar. It is actually surprisingly palatable on its own-tastes of fresh grass! You can take a "shot" twice daily for a spring detox. 22 March 2013 at 11:52. 3 April 2013 at 08:27.

Non's Herblog: The Benefits of Bitters
http://nonsherblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-benefits-of-bitters.html
Wednesday, 3 April 2013. The Benefits of Bitters. Bitter foods and bitter herbs-something I find in the UK at least, we seem to have an aversion to, although our continental cousins happily add bitter leaves such as Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) to their salads and eat bitter vegetables such as endive. And it is used on a scientific basis as a measure of bitterness. Foods and beverages that we use in a daily context can be classed as bitters e.g. coffee beans (. Numerous brands or patent medicines fo...

Non's Herblog: October 2013
http://nonsherblog.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 2 October 2013. Hello and welcome to a much delayed blog! My blog temporarily became non-existent (mainly because I forgot the name of the Gmail account I had it under! A bit of detective work and going through old emails caused me to rediscover it-phew! I've been much less active on the blog than I'd have liked to have been this summer-a combination of being really busy with clinic, teaching, the garden and studying for my PGCHE. Didn't we have the most wonderful summer though? Acred to Carde...

Non's Herblog: November 2013
http://nonsherblog.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 13 November 2013. Berry Magic Part II Elderberry. According to Mrs Grieve, summer is not here until the Elder is fully in flower and that it ends when the berries are ripe. Many of us have favourite recipes for Elderflower cordial and wine- but how many of us know about the medicinal properties of this wonderful tree? There is an old belief that whoever stood under an Elder tree on Midsummer Eve would see the King of Fairyland ride by, and it has a long tradition of association with Faeries.

Non's Herblog: Spring Harvest-Weed Medicine
http://nonsherblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/spring-harvest-weed-medicine.html
Friday, 22 February 2013. Welcome Everyone to my first blog! I think this time of year is the very best time-don't you think? The anticipation of Spring, the first green shoots and for Herbalists, the first opportunity to harvest some medicinal plants. I have just seen the first shoots of Galium aperine (goosegrass, cleavers, sticky willy, caci mwnci-it has many names) coming up through the hedgerows. You know the one-grows in hedgerows, grabs your leg, dog covered in burrs. Cleavers is part of a group o...
