👵 Your grandmother knew something you weren't taught
Wednesday we talked about Sage ~ how one of the most potent antimicrobial, neuroprotective plants available ended up in a spice jar. Used in pinches. Treated as superstition when burned.
That's not unique to Sage. There's a whole category of plants that used to be household knowledge ~ in kitchens, in gardens, passed woman to woman, elder to child. Specific. Practical. Effective.
Somewhere that thread got cut.🧵✂️ The knowledge didn't disappear, it just stopped being transmitted. And what filled the gap was either a pharmaceutical or a superstition. Rarely the actual plant.
What did someone older pass down to you about a plant, a food, or a remedy... even just a fragment?
Something your grandmother did, a neighbor grew, a family practice nobody explained but everyone followed?
Even a fragment counts. That's how we start remembering.
Come share it in the community. I want to see what's still alive in this group's memory.
