Yellow dock belongs to the buckwheat family (Polygonaceae) and is not a showy or attention-grabbing plant. It typically does its work quietly, growing on roadsides and pastures, thriving in disturbed soil. Although it may not be traditionally showy, yellow dock has an incredible presence when it comes to foraged food and herbal preparations. Its seeds can be used as a gluten-free flour substitute that has a similar taste profile to the buckwheat we buy in stores, making it a delicious foraged and economical treat. Its roots provide something different and are used in herbal preparations supporting the liver, the skin, digestion, and elimination systems. There are two types of dock that we use: Curly Dock (Rumex crispus) and Bitter Dock (Rumex obtusifolius). Curly dock is noticeable because of its curled leaves, while bitter dock has broader leaves. Both are beneficial in herbal preparations.

Recently, Red Moon welcomed Twin Star Herbal Education & Community Apothecary students to harvest yellow dock from our gardens. We love that we can share this relationship with Twin Star and be a part of their herbal journey.

We caught a very sweet moment of our most valued staff members cuddling the other day. These jazz cats are the hardest-working members of our staff, always making sure that their work of sleeping, lounging, eating, and doing absolutely nothing takes priority over any bottling, packaging, or manufacturing that takes place. They are very efficient at what they do.

We at Red Moon love our "working" cats and all cats. Embracing the crazy cat ladies we are, we rotate the donations of our proceeds from sales of dried catnip quarterly to various feline-focused non-profits in the Asheville, NC, area. So far on our radar: , , , , , , , , and . Link to support our catnip sales for local sanctuaries and shelters: https://redmoonherbs.com/products/dried-catnip?_pos=1&_sid=811065db9&_ss=r

Hey holiday herbies, we just dropped a new limited-edition product!

Peppermint Elixir (Mentha x piperita) is a delicious and slightly sweet extract made with peppermint leaf, alcohol, water, and honey. Peppermint's many benefits, mixed with a small amount of raw mountain honey, support the digestive system by soothing occasional nausea and indigestion, as well as supporting our respiratory systems. Our Peppermint Elixir can be a wonderful winter cabinet staple for encouraging healthy digestion (especially after those big holiday meals), as well as adding a little flavor to a hot cocoa or drink of choice.

Happy Halloween, plant people!

We love to eat the weeds, but some plants are just better to take visual, energetic, and intellectual delight in. For Halloween, we thought it appropriate to show some of our favorite poisonous plants. No plant is ever the same, and some of these plants range from only being toxic if consumed in large quantities or not prepared in the right way, to being consumed and becoming your neighbor or roommate's next ghost story.

1) Datura stramonium, also commonly known as Jimsonweed regionally, but some of our favorites are Devil's Apple and Witches' Thimble aka yerba del diablo as spoken about in Carlos Castaneda's 1968 book The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, an interesting read if you haven't yet. Datura is in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and likely hails from Central America. It is largely considered invasive in the United States. Datura contains tropane alkaloids and is a true deliriant, causing severe and unpleasant hallucinations, among other extreme physical discomforts, and can be fatal.

2) Atropa belladonna, also known as the infamous Deadly Nightshade. Belladonna is also in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and has been naturalized in parts of North America. Belladonna is neurotoxic and has similar side effects to Datura, as they share some of the same alkaloids.

3)Actaea pachypoda, also known as Doll's Eyes or Baneberry. Doll's Eyes is a truly striking and memorable plant. It belongs to the Buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), and is native to Eastern America. Some of you may notice the leaves' striking resemblance to Black Cohosh and that they both belong to the same genus, "Actaea". The whole plant is poisonous, with notable toxicity coming from the berry, and is considered a cardiac toxin.

4)Symplocarpus foetidus, also known as Eastern Skunk Cabbage, belongs to the Arum family (Araceae) and is native to Eastern America. Skunk cabbage has calcium oxalate crystals, and although not quite as frightening as the last three, the toxicity of this plant comes from overindulgence and using the wrong preparations.

5) Poke is really an honorable mention here because this picture is just too spooky not to share. Although this plant has toxicity, it is all about safe dosage, knowing how and when to use it, and safe preparation. It's one our dear customers rely on to support healthy lymphatic systems in topical oil, salve or as TINY TINY drops of the extract internally.

Have a good Halloween! 🎃Stay Weird.

We’re ever so grateful for Grifola frondosa (maitake, aka hen of the woods) harvests. Thank you, Callie and friends of Red Moon Herbs for the alert! Several of the big ones were 11 lbs each and it was just such a thrilling harvest. Maitake is right good eating and it will also be a double extraction in our as an immune system support for upcoming transitions of seasons. As Frank Cook said “eat something wild everyday” and we are happy we have a wild one to eat today.
