Recommendations for the day

Garden

Waning moon: by tradition it favours sowing and planting root vegetables, pruning, weeding, working the soil and manuring. Produce harvested now is said to keep better.

Root day: the day for sowing, planting and lifting carrots, radishes, beetroot, potatoes and onions. Tradition also recommends it for harvesting root vegetables meant for storage.

Lifestyle

Waning moon: by tradition a time of letting go, cleansing and tidying up. It favours decluttering, lighter meals and finishing tasks.

Cold day: a day of stability and being grounded. It favours planning, sorting out finances and tasks, and a calm hour in the garden.

Household

By tradition a cold day suits sorting the pantry, the cellar and storage, and checking winter stores.

Nutrition

Salt day: in the traditional moon calendar the quality of minerals and salts comes to the fore. Today it is worth cooking with less salt and choosing root vegetables and seeds.

Barefoot

If the weather allows, walk barefoot on grass or sand for a few minutes and pay attention to what your soles feel.

Herb of the day

Dandelion

Taraxacum officinale

Root day: by tradition the part of the plant to gather today

The familiar yellow spring flower; both its root and its leaves are used.

Description

A perennial of the daisy family with milky sap. The root is dug up in spring before flowering or in autumn. It contains bitter substances, inulin and minerals.

Traditional use

Traditionally used as a bitter tea to support digestion and the flow of bile, and as a mild diuretic; its young leaves make a salad.

Preparation

Decoction: bring a teaspoon (about 3–4 g) of chopped root to the boil in 200 ml of cold water, simmer for 2–3 minutes, leave for 10 minutes and strain.

Caution

Not to be used with gallstones, blocked bile ducts, or stomach or duodenal ulcers. May cause allergy in people sensitive to the daisy family. If you take diuretics, ask your doctor first.
