Rosemary Gladstar talks about yarrow for stomach and menstrual cramps, and for colds, flu, and fever. She calls it her top herb when bleeding won’t stop, and she describes a pinch of dried leaf powder on a heavy wound or a nosebleed. For a mounting fever she tells a strong tea of leaves and flowers, about a quarter cup often over a few hours — she says that sweats a fever down without wiping it out, because she says fever is part of how the body deals with illness. Her habit,

Barbara O’Neill says herbs are for the service of man. She talks about powdered slippery elm bark used inside or out, and a jar mix she calls gut repair: slippery elm with a little goldenseal and a little myrrh. She calls goldenseal her “king of tonics” for mucous membranes. She also boils a root tea before a meal — one part dandelion, one part licorice, one part gentian, half a part goldenseal — because she says they are roots, a quarter cup hot. Her words, not a clinic orde

Walk down any supplement aisle and you'll see magnesium citrate, glycinate, chloride and more. It's one of the most-searched supplements this fall, and more folks are asking about specific forms instead of just "magnesium." That's a good instinct. The form on the label is worth a second look, and many people find they have a favorite for their own routine. On our shelves you'll find magnesium a few different ways: capsules, liquid, bath flakes and a topical oil. Not sure whic

A home herbalist packed mullein leaves, poured 80-proof vodka over them, and tucked the jar in a dark cabinet. She likes droppers better than tea.

Barbara O'Neill (Living Springs Retreat) talks simple kitchen home supports — the kind of pantry habits neighbors share: ginger, garlic, lemon, honey, and a few other kitchen staples. Pantry habits, not prescriptions. Not medical advice, not cures, not disease treatment. Stanford Herb Shop in Lucedale keeps the shelf close for busy weeks. In person quiet through Oct 4 for the Feast; back Mon Oct 5. Online shelf stays up. Idea credit: Barbara O'Neill / Living Springs Retreat.

Sukkot is a season for celebrating the harvest, and here in South Mississippi, fall is planting time too. Late summer through November is the fall-sowing window for many Mississippi gardens. Parsley, dill, rosemary and garlic all do well in a fall bed, and cool-season greens like kale, collards and lettuce can join them. Tuck a few in this week and you can be snipping fresh herbs for your kitchen through the cooler months. A simple tip from local master gardeners: label every

National Coffee Day lands every September 29 with free mediums, app deals, and a feed full of pour-overs. We're not here to talk anyone out of coffee. We're here for the other sound in a lot of Lucedale kitchens: the kettle. Honey in the spoon. Lemon on the cutting board. Cinnamon or ginger waking up in a mug while the house is still quiet. Wellness writing this month has been circling the same idea: care moving back toward the kitchen, toward rituals you can see and smell, t

You need a Main Street apothecary hour. What’s the first jar you’d reach for at 5192 Main? That’s the whole invitation. Not a loud sale graphic — just a quiet hour on Main Street in Lucedale, standing in front of the jars and picking what your kitchen already reaches for. Stanford Herb Shop is open for walk-ins Mon–Sat (closed Sundays). Soft calendar note: Sukkot begins sundown Friday Sep 25 — if you’re coming by around the feast, call ahead so we can help you plan. Stop by 5

Barbara O’Neill talks garden weeds as kitchen herbs — nettle mineral broth, chickweed as a mild edible (watch for white-sap look-alikes), and dandelion as a bitter kitchen herb some neighbors use as leaves or root, with warm lemon water in the morning. Aloe: drain the yellow sap, then the clear gel/water as an old kitchen soothe story. Comfrey: old “knit bone” poultice stories — growth, lubricant, anti-inflammatory support neighbors still talk about. Homestead habits, not pre

Mullein tea path: harvest, dry, then filter the steep — fuzzy leaf hairs need a fine strain, a kitchen habit, not a cure. Traditional pantry forms, education not medicine promises.

Soft Herb Shop tie: we bottle Dr. Casey's Mullein Tincture at the shop in Lucedale — shelf awareness only, not stronger, not safer, not a medicine claim. Clinic & shop
