THE CONCOCTRESS
Yin-Healing in a cold Place by a Strange Woman
Earthen Church Botanicals + Tea House
Coastal Headlands
Westport, CA
As an herbalist, the focus-endeavor is to create ritualized holistic health regimens based on a broad assessment of the corporeal, sentient, cerebral, and ethereal aspects of a person. This informs a botanical medicine and a therapeutic approach of variant methodologies. Some medicinal preparations may be as simple as basic teas, infusions, and decoctions, while others may lend themselves to the complexity of spagyrics and alchemical salts in relation to planetary influence.
Energetics and healing are applied from both sympathetic and antipathic principals utilizing both herbs traditionally seen as benefic and medicinal, and also the venefic herbs--or botanicals that have potentially dangerous or poisonous bodily influence. Holistically, these dual but complementary healing modalities can be given in tandem with ritual and aromatherapies, as well as ceremonial and sentient therapies of the body, mind, and skin.
Yin is the chinese cosmological duality principle of the feminine:
embodied as dark, cool, damp, calm, flowing, fluid, relaxive, passive, expansive, introverted, seductive and protective;
of slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, shadow, touch, taste; of sensation and sensuality;
of feeling, emotion; of dreams, of sleep; of salty and sweet; of bone, and of nourishment;
of moon, night, water, and starlight, holy wells and earth; caves, streams, fog and rain; of baths; of teas and tonics;
of plants, shady and silvery; artemesias and nightshades; aphrodisiacs and euphorics;
sedatives, intoxicants, nervines, analgesics, hypnogogues; oneirogens, and entheogens;
of the fungal, mineral; of roots and stems; of oxygen, of carbon
