Thank you for bringing this delightful book to my attention. The authoress has a clear love for the subject and a poetic flare that I find delicious. Also, I do love a good forage. Miigwech.

You are most welcome! Which book are you referring to?

Have you ever tried Larch tea? I find it to be exquisite when blended with mint and yarrow.

I really enjoy this fellow's series of videos. Here is one on White Cedar - also delicious. https://youtu.be/XLUI6CEZQTc

And on point: Tamarak (there are several videos, this is just one that elaborates on the observational neurological uses mentioned in the books above).https://youtu.be/M0-Es_VVohs

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. I look forward to learning more about the White Cedar when I have time :)

Oh I see now. I thought it was one book. You have referenced several. Thank you. All of them.

No not yet. Next time I go upstate I can forage some.

This reminds me of a rather forgettable Monty Python routine.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by that?

That would be impossible if you are not familiar with Monty Python's Flying Circus and unnecessary if you were.

hmm, okay, well I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

If you were to describe your thoughts on the post above in non-Monty Python terms, how would you describe it?

Monty Python terms are the only ones deserving of the effort.

I see, well I thank you for your time and hope you have a very memorable weekend full of Monty Python themed experiences.

This is a wonderfully descriptive dive into this beautiful tree! Funnily enough, my mom and I were just discussing larch today, as she was telling me she was taking larch capsules as an immune enhancing supplement. Thank you for the great read!

What an interesting synchronicity! I had no idea that larch capsules existed on the market! I do know that the tree offers many immune system optimizing benefits from first hand experience.

You are most welcome, thank you for the thoughtful comment.
