1. This is difficult to do on an standard poll but curious where everyone sits if you are willing to answer the following questions in the comments.

Please specify if your numbers are with it without medication that stabilize your HR.

About to season my shoulder like I season my lamb chops 🤣

Making an oil based poultice with Rosemary, thyme, calendula and peppermint from the garden.

Will add castor oil to the finished product.

These are culinary, bug repellent, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, aromatic.

1. Has anyone tracked their body temps in different parts of the body with infrared thermometers and correlated with dysautonomia symptoms over time? If so, have you found patterns on better/worse days? If no one has. We should start #thetemptest

Almost done with the PEM cocktail study design. Next step is IRB application and recruitment.

This has had a major impact on decreasing PEM for me and a few early testers.

Will differentiate if severity level affects impact among other things.

Stay tuned!

A little harvest from last summer.

This year I started early & have over 500 seedlings in my bedroom

Last year my kids fenced a big chunk of the garden (sorry groundhogs)

It is going to be a mini farm year

2. Will be growing several others in the ground, as it is a perennial in my zone (6b) and they have beautiful flowers, which also have medicinal properties, along with the seeds.

The tap root of chicory is often used as a coffee substitute, often with dandelion root.

1. I’m growing chicory this year as part of my medicinal garden.

This herb has many benefits, but metabolic and digestive health in particular, have been supported in clinical studies.

I’ll be growing several plants in containers to harvest the tap root.
