What ancient Iranian medical treatment worked best? Prayer.
In the 3rd century, scientists from different civilizations gathered in Gundeshapur University (now Iran) to exchange ideas about the 3 kinds of treatment:
• medicine by the knife (surgery).
• medicine by herbs.
• medicine by divine words.
In pre-Islamic Iran, divine words were deemed more effective.
Medicinal herbs were dried, and could be worked into pills, salves, or syrups. These were stored in drug jars. Jars for syrup had a spout.
The fritware jar below was made of clay with added ground glass (frit) to lower the fusion or firing temperature. Tied parchment sealed the top; the lip held the tie in place.
Some jars were quite large (½ meter). This one, from the late 1100s, is relatively small at 19 centimeters. Later drug jars had a label glazed on, along with religious icons believed to affect the healing power of the jar's content.

The Irreplaceable Gift of a True Friend
The most profound thing about having a true friend is the gift of a safe harbor for the nascent self. It's the secure space where the most tender and monumental aspects of your inner world can be expressed without fear of judgment, skepticism, or premature dismissal. Think of those things that are currently bursting inside of you—the exhilarating, often terrifying, stirrings of a future yet to be built. These are the new possibilities, new ideas, and new dreams that are too fragile, too […]https://hcongrove2.com/2025/11/24/the-irreplaceable-gift-of-a-true-friend/
You Are A Lier!! 😡
I can make up stories.I can make up lies. I can scream them from the tallest tree in the sky. I want attention, wont you look at me,Way way way up here in the tree. I yell and yak, I make a lot of noise. I lack common decency and was not taught poise. My neighbors hate me, they say my voice annoys. But what is life, if not filled with joys. I hide in disguise, you'll never see my face.You will never know my exact place. Amongst the trees, way up high in the sky,I make up lies and tell all […]https://hcongrove2.com/2025/11/22/you-are-a-lier-%f0%9f%98%a1/

Black and White
The imagination of a child is like no other. Tiny minds filtering the words information and just trying to make since of it. They grow and shape each and everyday, with a number of factors contributing. It's facilitating as a parent to witness your children navigate the struggles and obstacles of life, ultimately learning how to be self sufficient. A view that is often bitter sweet. As a parent there are many times that we see the exact moment of realization often followed by a long […]Wrought for a #druid ’s keeping, this #bag bears upon its flap a gentle flourish of blooming angelica (Angelica archangelica) — a #herb sacred to healing and harmony.
The #leather remains true to its nature. I have not stained it with colour, only anointed it with oil and wax.
In time, such a finish deepens to a duskier hue and, upon its surface, gathers the marks of all that has passed — the journeys trodden, the seasons turned, and perhaps a trace of some deed worth remembering.
The Planet’s Most Underappreciated Substance: A Detailed Look at Mud
Dirt, Water and Life Mud- the rudimentary inventiom of adding water to dirt to create a sticky, dynamic medium. A substance not only for building childhood memories but a cornerstone of civilization that has shaped landscapes, provided shelter and continues to be an unsung hero of the global carbon cycle. The Geological and Chemical Anatomy of Mud Dirt + Water = Mud, simple right? Not exactly. Geologically, mud is defined as a mixture of silt, clay, and/or loam combined with water. […]Curb Appeal.
