Gut healthy Curry stew with spring wild edibles Red Deadnettle, Mugwort, Wild Onion & Chickweed 🌸

My love for foraging and gardening is partially rooted in my appreciation for herbalism and healthy eating. At times herbalism and healthy eating were the only tools I had to support me through nearly a decade of frustrating and mysterious gut illnesses.

These days I’m grateful to be in a much better place.

Folks that suffer with flare ups know just how much this takes a toll on your day to day life and this week I was feeling a little down, so I made one of my reliable dishes that always makes makes my gut happy, but with a little wild spin.
