Called wishap (pronounced weeshap) by the Ventureño and Ineseño Chumash peoples and Yerba Santa (Holy Herb) by the Spanish; this is one of my favorite native herbs for common autumn health conditions.
I thought I would take a moment here and give honor to some of my teachers; because nothing I share with others is new, nothing is "mine", it is all an amalgamation of the wisdom and learning I have gathered over my lifetime distilled through my own unique lens. So, while it may appeal in new ways or connect with new audiences, it is because of that gift of learning given by others before me.
