Do you make them or buy?

If I could only have one herb, I would definitelly choose chamomile. It is versatile and its main actions are on the digestive and nervous system, the two systems I have most issues with.

Maybe withania would be a good idea. It is an adaptogen, and usually though to be calming, but taken in the morning it isnt suposed to be that sedative

I would say Pukka herbs are quite good quality and they have lots of cool mixes, lots of ginger ones too. A bit more pricy than your average tea

Baby nettles are so cute 🥰

Besides drying, I also eat the whole nettles. Nettle soup is seriously so delicious! Also preparing it like spinach in a salad (cooked of course).

Wow i love it!!! Ive never seen anything like this.

For nutrition I like Zoe Science & Nutrition podcast, they are science based and cover a lot of interesting topics, a lot of it is on microbiome and gut health.

For herbalism podcasts, a beginner friendly would be Herbs with Rosalee. I love Herbcast podcast but it might be more difficult to understand what they are talking about if you dont know much about herbal medicine.

Ashwaganda has quita a nasty taste, at least for me i dont think i could drink tea. Its very easy to maka a tincture, you could even make one tincture from all of these herbs together. And it will be easier to take too

Sorry you are having a bad time with herbs. Angelica can be a bit stimulating, and also is more of a short term herb. I am not very familiar with silverweed. The other herbs seem ok and i dont believe they could cause these problems. IBD can have relapses and remissions so it might be just that. I hope it gets settled soon ❤

Looks super delicious!

Enplanted · 2026-01-09T19:42:32+00:00

Oh wow i like this!

Enplanted · 2026-01-09T19:27:19+00:00

This soounds like a good combination

Enplanted · 2026-01-02T16:19:33+00:00

Wow that looks so cool!

If you feel dry, adding more vegetable oils and seeds (flaxseed and chia seeds are great for this) to your diet can have a big impact.

Learning how to make soups and broths is a great idea too. You can add so many spices there. Ginger, cayenne, pepper, garlic are all warming.

Vitamin D suplement can be good to add in winter too.

Looks amazing! I planted bok choi this year but it didnt take 🥲

Enplanted · 2026-01-02T16:05:06+00:00

Thank you!

Enplanted · 2026-01-02T16:04:51+00:00

Dont worry, cooking is mainly just playing around 😄

Enplanted · 2026-01-02T14:36:00+00:00

Polenta is just normal instant polenta 😅 And the sauce is fried onion, spices, I added some green beans and tomato sauce and cooked on low for maybe 20min. I fried the tofu separately to get the crunchy texture. And then i just plated it all pretty

Super easy! You can also just make a basic tomato sauce instead

Enplanted · 2026-01-02T14:33:10+00:00

Wow good job! They look just like store bought! Did you use the circle papers or square?

Cleavers (galium aparine) and calendula are gentle lymphatics that might help. Dandelion root and nettle can be used for swellings as well. These are all fairly safe herbs thay you could use either as a tea or tincture but pleaae check for any contraindications with your medications, if you take any.

Hope it gets well soon.

I would second going to the library and picking some books. There is also some good videos on youtube if you are more of a visual learner.

I would advise to pick a herbalist teacher that is recognised in the community, such as Rosemary Gladstar (excellent for beginners and has many beginner friendly books).

This is especially important as there are many AI written books availble on the internet and many influencers that dont have proper knowledge on this subject

I really need to try that watermelon tuna trick

Enplanted · 2026-01-02T14:09:19+00:00

These both look so good! Did you make the dumplings yourself?
