Patchouli | The Green Leaf, that Protects

Published

Patchouli is a native member of the mint, lavender, and sage families and is thought to originate in Asia.

A member of the Lamiaceae family of plants, with mint and sage genus Pogostemon, species P. cablin

She is a small shrub with thick green velvet leaves most known for her use in perfumes and colognes such as Polo, Bill Blass, and Tabu.

Historical references of patchouli’s diverse uses extend to salads, incense, and insect control. One of my mentors uses patchouli to ward off various plant infestations.

Her name comes from a word in the Tamil language, which means “green leaf.” Patchouli is known to some for an ability to ward off evil spirits.

There are two popular species of patchouli, Pogostemon cablin (known as the proper form) and P. heyneanus (substitute), which have steadily increased sales in catalogs and herb nurseries over the last decade.

In the guide book to smells, “Aromatherapy for Dummies,” Kathi Keville suggests the protective herb’s oil contains “antiseptic and antifungal” properties for the skin.

“In India, it is even a traditional treatment for snakebite and poisonous insect stings,” she adds. “

The aroma reduces appetite and relieves headaches.” It is a mild yet sedative oil that slows breathing when used in aromatherapy.

Patchouli essences stimulate the sex glands, thus increasing one’s libido and sexual responses.

It’s one of the most relaxing, grounding, and earth-based scents in aromatherapy. It is also known to mask the wearer’s smell from insects and as an anti-aging element in skincare products.

Oil extracts of the herb are the most popular market products. These have been extensively researched and shown to provide curative effects for depression, athletes’ foot and skin problems, scalp dandruff, and wound infections.

Most of these best patchouli oils are extracted by way steam distillation using the dried best patchouli leaves.

One incredible, legendary teacher in my life of permaculture, uses tons of patchouli plants to help protect other valuable plants across his farm.

She is the right plant for balance and insect and pest control, and she looks nice, smells good, and we think she adds some spaz to particular chocolate and coconut drinks we make.

Let’s check out how we can get the best patchouli into your life!

However, go slow with new stuff. Use caution. Patchouli has also been known to cause a loss of sleep and nervousness, more likely in overuse.

The best patchouli oil out there is so strong that Art Tucker and Thomas DeBaggio warn, in The Big Book of Herbs (Interweave Press, 2000), that “when the mixed volume for volume with any other oil, patchouli always predominates.”

PATCHOULI EXPERIENCE

Nutritional Diversity Inclusion: What does Nutritional Diversity mean?

I use one leaf of patchouli grown on-site in each of my two or three daily multi-specie shakes or salads. I have noticed it helps to open up my airways and reduce inflammation caused by a sinus infection. Care should be taken, patchouli is a powerful herb, with usage as more than a few leaves may cause discomfort and a faint euphoric, or a more unshakable feeling for others.

The herb is perfect for small herb gardens, and cuttings of it take very well. It is a vigorous grower and for urban parks in homes because it produces a great scent. In a futuristic setting where people live in more harmony with nature and know more about it, I would imagine this herb being in every home; it is a nice looking plant too.

TARGET 10: Enhance Biodiversity and Sustainability in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisheries, and Forestry

The Importance of Educating and Implementing a One-Point Government Against Genetic Modification of Nature

In an age of technological advancement and scientific innovation, the temptation to genetically modify nature has grown significantly. While such modifications promise solutions to global problems, they also present substantial risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, and the fundamental balance of life on Earth. The call for a one-point government policy—an unwavering stance against genetic modification of nature—is not only a plea for ecological preservation but also an invitation for humanity to adopt a culture of empowerment, education, and ecological responsibility.

The Case Against Genetic Modification of Nature

Genetic modification, while often well-intentioned, disrupts the intricate harmony of ecosystems. Genetically modified species can outcompete native species, disrupt food chains, and lead to unforeseen ecological consequences. Once released, these modifications are irreversible, posing long-term risks to biodiversity and natural systems that have evolved over millennia.

A one-point government policy to prohibit the genetic modification of nature would serve as a global safeguard, ensuring that humanity respects and works with natural processes rather than altering them to fit immediate needs or desires. This stance is not about hindering progress but about prioritizing sustainable and harmonious solutions that benefit both people and the planet.

Empowerment Through Education

Education is the cornerstone of this movement. By teaching individuals and communities about the dangers of genetic modification and the benefits of working with natural systems, we can foster a culture of respect and stewardship for the environment. Nutritional Diversity culture—which emphasizes consuming and cultivating a wide variety of natural, organic foods—provides a powerful framework for this education.

This culture promotes alternative agriculture that is resilient, sustainable, and aligned with the natural rhythms of the Earth. By understanding the principles of biodiversity and regenerative practices, individuals can become active participants in creating healthier ecosystems. Educational programs should focus on:

Understanding Biodiversity: The importance of maintaining genetic diversity in crops and livestock to ensure resilience against diseases and environmental changes.
Alternative Agriculture Practices: Techniques like permaculture, guerrilla farming, and biodynamic agriculture that enhance soil health, water retention, and crop yields without synthetic inputs.
Nutritional Diversity for Health: The link between diverse diets and optimal physical and mental performance, encouraging individuals to grow and consume a wide range of nutrient-rich foods.

Household Empowerment as Ecological Empowerment

The shift toward ecological responsibility begins at home. Households can become microcosms of ecological empowerment, contributing to broader environmental health while fostering personal well-being. This grassroots approach diminishes the need for large institutional governance, instead placing the power to create change directly in the hands of individuals and communities. We have two operational sustainable household models [2] that function for multiple guests year-round.

Practical Steps for Household Empowerment:

Home Gardens: Cultivate small-scale gardens that focus on diverse, organic crops. These gardens not only provide fresh, nutritious food but also reconnect individuals with the cycles of nature.
Composting: Transform household waste into valuable compost to enrich soil and reduce landfill contributions.
Water Conservation: Implement rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems to minimize water usage while supporting lush, productive gardens. Water enhancements.
Community Collaboration: Form local cooperatives to share resources, knowledge, and labor, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose.

The Benefits of Freedom to Work With Nature

By rejecting genetic modification and embracing a culture of empowerment and responsibility, individuals gain the freedom to work with the natural world rather than against it. This approach offers numerous benefits:

Resilience: Natural systems, when nurtured, are inherently resilient and capable of adapting to environmental changes without human interference.
Health: Consuming unmodified, nutrient-dense foods supports optimal physical and mental performance.
Sustainability: Regenerative practices improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon, combating climate change.
Autonomy: Empowered households and communities reduce dependence on industrial agriculture and centralized systems, fostering greater independence and self-reliance.

Educational and Implementational Teams in South and Central America

Across South and Central America, our dedicated teams are working tirelessly to educate and implement sustainable, nature-aligned practices. These teams are embedded in local communities, providing hands-on training, workshops, and resources to empower individuals to adopt Nutritional Diversity culture and alternative agriculture techniques.

Our online education platform is operational, offering accessible, comprehensive resources on regenerative practices, biodiversity, and ecological stewardship. This platform connects learners with experts and peers, creating a vibrant community of ecological advocates.

In addition, our innovative app facilitates the logging of new project sites and coordinates ecologically enhancing practices. This tool enables real-time collaboration among participants, tracks progress, and ensures alignment with sustainable goals. By integrating technology with grassroots efforts, we’re creating a dynamic ecosystem of support that empowers individuals and communities to take charge of their ecological and nutritional well-being.

We have an open invitation to interests to come down and experience the diet, and see the agriculture.

A Vision for the Future

A global commitment to preserving the integrity of nature through a one-point government policy against genetic modification represents a profound act of respect for the Earth and future generations. By educating and empowering individuals to adopt Nutritional Diversity culture, alternative agriculture practices, and household-level ecological responsibility, we can create a sustainable, harmonious world where freedom and nature thrive together.

Let us rise to this challenge, cultivating not only our gardens but also our collective potential to live in harmony with the natural world. Together, we can achieve a legacy of ecological integrity and human empowerment.

UNCHAINING HEALTH, AND 35 MILLION KIDS IN ABUSIVE CAPTIVITY THROUGH BRAINWASHING RIGHT NEAR YOU!

Published

November 1, 2024

Brandon Angel

A most unfortunate story I never wanted to tell, I never wanted to experience, I would truly still wish on no man…

Law of Polarity: I gained an intense remedy through the fierce pain of my spirit.

By saying where the pain was, I am also talking about the remedy for exactly that pain, gained through that very experience.

All challenges are opportunities to build strength.

I just repeat this over and over throughout my day,

There is so much I was unable to tell about my story in this two-hour podcast like, my experience with how pills to kids are wrong.

It’s crazy that in our culture I have to explain that. That I ever had to live it at all.

It is quite an evil reach to get where we are. You won’t know that until you are grounded in nature.

That process of recalibrating with the natural rhythms and cognitions takes a long time. A deep venture in all ways.

When you are fighting such injustice, and you have educated yourself by the specialists on how damaging this is for children, and you see that there is nothing that you can do, in fact, the punishment for trying to assert your right is a gradual worsening of the lies told, a new form of false accusation or dirty trick (which they have so many and they are used in these unfortunate cases of trafficking for profit; so much), in essence, the knowledge that whatever attempt to contact the child will cause their abuser to turn up the volume will keep the good parent at bay. That good parent knows any contact will be exploited and twisted, and at least today I can say I have had zero hand in what has happened. Not only did I educate myself on how damaging this is (mistake 1 for alienated parents), I sent it all to the abuser. I made a few support groups that shared that information, and they harassed the groups. Another facilitator of support groups contacted me, explaining this “Jerry Springer Family,” also obsessively harassed him thinking I was the administrator of his group. I watched at the same time this ‘alienator” make fake Facebook and stalk her own family with them to make it seem like it was me. All this childishness worked. It is a masterpiece of child abuse and deception of everyone around the situation. My ex-girlfriend’s entire family was stalked for a decade.

The intention is to completely destroy the person, and this is usually because the “parasite no longer has the host!”

Young men and women should be educated about these damages, and anyone engaging in this “witchcraft,” is responsible for child devastation – this intense obsessive abuse, with the illest of intentions, is horrible sabotage to a young life.

They think their abuser is their hero. This is the evidence of the daily brainwashing, extreme daily psychological/spiritual child abuse.

They will think that into truth 1000 ways before they finally:

PASS their DENIAL of THE TRUTH. …!!!!

Sound familiar?

Impact

Even feeding the microbiome one time this way, can start underlining the ability to think clearly and productively and then engage reasonably with self-construction tactics and practices that lead to total recovery. We have hosted Nutritionally Diverse Meet-ups in the past for this purpose.

Community Building

We have a nutritional community that comes with one one-on-one guidance from an experienced practitioner of the ACTUAL HEALTH SYSTEM. Not to mention the effects this demand could have on the world.

Join the team, make a difference 1 for your loved ones, 2 for yourself, 3 for the world 💥💥💥

Another fun history and reason naturalists may enjoy this project is that Nutritional Diversity .com has been around the whole kidnapping as a way to share nature, and wholesomeness in hopes that it could defeat some other kind of inventive storytelling that was regular practice for the kidnappers. If you click on the Hailey Tropical Farm link in the menu you can see some of that history there.

It also served as a distraction, to the stalking, and harassing while I had no kid of theirs people; who did commit award-winning criminal harassment on like everyone I know.. recruited a few too!! It is impressive!!

Anyone who waists their time and talent on such a horrible endeavor, like my once princesses or like 50’s oldest son’s mother should ………….

Now at least from a distance, I can show the power of long-term commitment as I turn the site into something else.

If the child exhibits the extreme effects/results outlined in the clinical outlines for this heinous daily spiritual child abuse — GUESS WHY!!?!???

…did you stand by it? Did you help, enable it?

I actually do pray for you.

We are swimming hard in the other direction!!! LIGHT PLEASE!!! Join us.

Nutritional Diversity .com is now a community that is dedicated to advancing health at a household level. Taking full responsibility for your diet and relationship with nature is one of many things we came here to do! That could not be more clear today.
