Yarrow (1080)

Yarrow was an Indigenous and Pioneer remedy for neurological diseases. The Farm’s ethnobotanical plots’ focus is nutrition, as Pilchuck Learning Center (PLC) refrains from giving medical advice. That said, Yarrow’s use for schizophrenia and/or dementia is as uncertain as it has ever been. No culture or race is immune from schizophrenia. When one doesn’t know the cause of a disease, it is difficult to suggest a cure, in fact perhaps impossible … people must learn to live with it. Some say space is the next frontier, others say it is the deep oceans of Earth. We ask, “What about the organic chemical computer with 86 billion neurons (average galaxy star count), each likened to a memory chip that does not just turn ‘off/on,’ ‘black/white,’ each analogically communicating information as diverse as colors of a rainbow? “What computer is this, you ask? The human brain that sits between each reader’s ears! What some call Bloodwort is not a cure for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or Schizophrenia, but it may help some with their anxiety … no one truly knows.
