The Prickly Medicine of Prickly Ash

20 minutes  

A look at the botanical features, ecology and edible & medicinal properties of this powerful tree.  Join me for a tour of a prickly ash grove, and see how it protects the land where it lives, helping the life there to thrive and the land to restore itself, shielded from disturbance.  Learn how prickly ash supports and protects the body, encouraging warmth and healthy circulation, clearing out wastes and bringing renewed energy.  See how it supports the health of the whole body, yet it can also focus its medicine in particular areas of need.  Let’s focus in for a while on this northern member of the Citrus family who has a lot to offer us.
