Happy Herbalists day! I am so grateful for this Island that held me, all of my teachers & patrons who help shape my role in the community! But enough about me, howabout those Magnolias 😍 Did you know that magnolia flowers are edible & medicinal? They are quite delicious with a mild ginger like flavour 🍃 What I love about them most is their short season. They bloom & transform very quickly. Which makes it special to witness them in their glory. When you dig a bit deeper into their medicinal benefits you'll see that they treat conditions that can flare up quickly with severe syptems. Yet they are almost all preventable states of being and would have been slowly brewing beneath the surface for a long time. What can Magnolia's long period of dormancy teach us about they way we pace ourselves? How are we nourishing ourselves inbetween our times to shine? . . . . #herbalistmuses #herbalist #communityherbalism #communityherbalist #victoriabc #victoriabclife #magnolia #magnoliatree #magnolias #vanisland #Vancouverisland #herbalselfcare #herbalremedies #edibleflowers #edibleplants #medicinalherbs #flowersofinstagram #flowers #pink #yyj #plantmedicines #plantcommunication #plantnerds (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxyBECDR0Y/?igshid=h1lfnyinn3ba
