Rooted Things Apothecary

Best part of being in Japan is family, of course. 日本に来て1番嬉しいのはそれは家族に会えること。

Houttuynia cordata or dokudami in Japanese. One of my favorites for the respiratory, skin and circulation. As much as I feel a lot of gratitude being in a place where I had to learn herbalism from scratch, I miss my old friends. I am so jealous this grows everywhere here. I hear so many people complain about this plant where they grow abundantly because it does take over, but I cringe when I hear such things. So many of my old friends do not tolerate the heat where we are in the US.
