    Your Herbal Actions Part 2 Assignment:

    Part 1:

      1. Collect newly emerging dandelion greens (you may also collect all spring wild greens which you know to be correctly identifying and which you know to be safely edible and add them to this soup).
      2. Refer to the tutorials (reel + video) to make a soup base

    Part 2:

    1. Choose an herbal action to either deepen your knowledge from your Module 2 choices, or to explore anew from the list below.
    2. Find an herb with this herbal action by doing a simple google search of “your selected herbal action” + “herbs”.
    3. Choose herbs singly to then search for “that herb” + “materia medica” and read a little more about that herb to see if it is the right one for you to try.
    4. Figure out if that herb accessible to you anywhere in a very small amount? (etsy.com, local apothecary, local bulk food coop, reach out to angie for more suggestions, wild crafted locally by you?).
    5. If not, comment on how your dandelion green soupĀ  feels in your body, noting which herbal actions dandelion greens contain. If you have chosen herbs specific to your body’s needs, EITHER add this herb to your dandelion greens soup (if it is palatable with the greens), OR make it in a tea and comment on how it feels in your body when taken as a “simple” or taken alone.

    Upload your comments to these questions in the forum:

    1. What herb did you choose to use (dandelion green soup) or (dandelion green soup + your particular herb)
    2. How does it feel in your body. Use descriptive words and phrases and notate at least 3 different sensations in 3 different parts of your body. Note memories, sensory experiences, etc.
    3. Post your reflections below.
