This is not a RCT, nor direct comparison of fresh or dried types of leafy greens by weight or volume.

Added benefit: We claim, on the basis of "It feels good to say it", that leafy greens are improving complexions. 😃

According to Danish folklore, elves known as the Elle-people had poisonous breath, and cows grazing where these elves had been could become sick. However, the disease could be cured with a handful of St. John's wort collected at midnight on St. John's Night.

The wild herb #Geranium robertianum was introduced early in #gardens because of #FolkMedicine. It's rich in tannins and essential oils. Therefore I love it for #EcoDyeing and #EcoPrinting. As a child, I believed that its seeds can fly like a bird. In German it's named stinkender #Storchschnabel, stinking stork beak, for the form of the fruits. Geranium's #cranesbills are also bec de grue (crane) in France, but in Alsace bec de cigogne (stork)! #florespondence #WildHerbs #NatureMatchCuts

The pink flower and leaves of the plant show a filigrane beauty. This plant has pale rose flowers, growing in full shadow. The flowers colour more reddish in sunlight thanks to sun protecting pigments.Makro if the reddish and haired fruits in an early stage. Their form looks like a very long beak.

`Take a bunch of sea pinks pulled with the roots. Boil for an hour or more. Leave to cool. Drink slowly and you are ready for the next night ashore. ' - Old Cures, From South Uist #Scotland #Herbalism #Herbs #Scottish #folkMedicine #january #celtic

`When a patient is in desperation put a rope around his feet and hang him by the heels from the rafters. Repeat at reasonable intervals: "This will undo the knot in the guts." ' - Old Cures, From South Uist #folkMedicine #Scottish #Guts #celtic
