I am earning .5 science credits for:
Structure and Function
I am exploring the systems within the body that herbs effect, such as the nervous and digestive.
Change, Cause, and Effect
I am developing an experiment.
I am exploring the ways that plants affect the body in terms of different delivery methods. Such as salve vs. oil, or tea vs. decoction, etc.
- Herbalism

Herbalism
I have been attending Herb School, with a few other Pilot students. It’s great, we learn about herbalism and how to practice it at a basic level, as well as the more complex stuff that is happening in the body as well.
I have made a few concrete things in this project. The first is a ginger salve (made with ginger infused coconut oil, and beeswax), calendula infused honey, and I am working on a materia medica for ginger.
I have also learned about a few concepts in very concrete ways. I have been learning about the nervous system, both in a “lecture” setting, where the herb school mentors explained its basic functions to us and we took notes, and by reading the biology textbook, and taking notes. It is very nice to be prescribed work like this, it’s unambitious and relaxing in some sense, and very enjoyable to just consume information. I have also been learning about action words, which are the words that describe the effects that specific herbs have on the body.
This coming quarter I am developing an experiment about the flavor of ginger tea in relation to the temperature that the water it is steeped in is, and will continue to attend herb school.
