The Wonders of Gold Thread!

Gold thread. Coptis groenlandicum. Rhizome roots thriving just below the surface of the forest floor. One of the most valuable preventive medicines of the Abenaki peoples, as explained by Tom Beck, a spiritual leader and herbal healer in the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation. The gold signifies Berberine, holding the incredibly bitter antimicrobial power. Taken in the fall with intention and ritual can prevent illness for all of winter. Chewed or made into tea. Remember to give an offering and gratitude and to take only take what you and your people. #honorableharvest #goldthread - Aug 8, 2018
