Hi Lorrie,

I remember one of our plant explorations where everyone see/find a specific plant and would be the medicinal benefits. I mentioned before that I found a plant that is good to cure for cancer and I remember you asking the name of the plant. With my limited knowledge about the names I said it does look like a grass or a lemon grass but no clue what that is, never see it before.

And one of my sisters rang me the other day and asking me to check barley grass grown in Australia as someone told her it has great medicinal benefits. So I'm checking now and very much surprised to see that what I saw before is named barley grass🙂, so there is that🙂

Belle, I'm really glad you posted this because I've kept forgetting to post a follow-up comment on something cancer-related I shared during our camomile/lavender dive. I'd said I saw cancer-related healing benefits, tumors specifically, with camomile. I took another look a couple days after that dive and I'd like to walk that back a bit and say that while camomile is soothing for cancer-related inflammation and tumor growth, that's the only benefit I'm seeing I was a little blurry from waking up for the dive I guess. Not much different from the benefit it has on the entire body.

Thanks for letting me piggyback on your post, Belle. Hope you're well.

I'm pretty well over the last few days Eman, thank you as always. Every challenge is an opportunity🙂

And you're welcome, not sure why I post this but it seemed that I had to🙂

 

i had learned of a lot the past several months and seem to have forgotten them all, other than: violets. ❤️

Hi Belle,

Sorry for the really late reply, I think I meant to reply and then it got buried in my feed. Thanks for following up, I've been reading up on barley grass and it has a pretty interesting history. It's a very ancient good, going back to the Fertile Crescent and Tibet area for cultivation and I think this is where the wild version still grows. It really has a strong link with humanity ( I read that the word "barn" comes from an old word that meant "barley house") I can see why, as it has provided a food source for a long time and now they are discovering the medical benefits to it. 

It's interesting also to me as Chickweed has been popping up for some of the plant pioneers in a similar way, it too has a long history with humans and is found pretty much on every continent. So maybe there is something for us to explore on these ubiquitous plants?
