Mugwort.......WHAT THE HELL IS MUGWORT AND THE KID WANTS ME TO DO WHAT WITH IT!
Star wants me to look at alternative's to modern medicines for seizures and she says mugwort is a known herb to stopping seizures? Star does not want me in the hospital for 5 days inducing a seizure! OH SHE DOES NOT!!
Here we go again Google don't let me down because I don't want that stupid Bart Simpson comic flashing before my eyes again because I am about to open my mouth and ask a stupid question.
"The Chinese have made use of herbs in order to provide effective treatment for seizures. This practice has been prevailing in China for thousands of years and is today becoming popular around the globe. There is a certain group of herbs that has been singled out as being beneficial for the treatment of seizures."
So the Kid is on to something but do I really want to take Stars advice? I means shes only 21 and all. She is the smartest 21 year old I know! (Don't tell her I told you that she may just hold that over my head and with the head I have right now that could be really easy!!) She has for the past few years studied herbs so she does know somewhat about what she is talking about.
A few years ago I hurt my back and Star made her father drive her someplace so she could pick me horsetail. Now at the time we had horses so why drive when you could walk to the pasture I asked her? She looked at me with a "MOM" look and said "Dad lets go" She picked on the side of the road a herb called horsetail came home and brewed me a tea I was sort of horrified to drink to be honest but put my "Mom" face on and drank. It was so bitter so she added raw honey and not my honey in the cute little bear container either. It tasted allot better and by the last sip my back really did feel better. It was then I knew my little heath nut Star baby was on to something!
But will I take her advice? I don't know. I do know that mugwort is not studied like modern median is. I do know that IF I do spend 5 days in the hospital trying to figure out where in my brain the seizures are coming from which is why this whole conversation of Mugwort came to be with Star I will have a better understanding of my epilepsy which is what I need for myself.
I know my daughter cares. I know she loves me. I know she would not have been so mad at me yesterday if she had not cared. Who gets mad at the neighbors at what they are taking for meds right? She is concerned about her mother and I know that, I'm not stupid (SHUT UP STEVE).
Star I love you the Muchest! But I need to know why at age 50 my brain has started to rob me of my life.
ps, Star mugwort is an amazing herb and yes I am still looking into it!!
