About this listen
It's the first day of summer, and wild roses are finally in bloom. In this episode, I ramble about all things roses, except to discuss their actual medicine. Oops! I dry rose hips to put in my winter tea blends because of their immune-boosting abilities, not sure if that is just vitamin C or if there is more to it than that. Like many rose family plants (agrimony, potentilla/cinquefoil, raspberry and other Rubus species), rose is astringent. I guess that is hinted at a bit when discussing roses for skincare, but that also applies when using the hips, petals and even leaves in tea blends. And then there's just the emotional/spiritual medicine of seeing and smelling roses in bloom. You can see some flowers here: #oginiiwaabigwan and check out the fruit here: #oginiig
