Return to Nature - A Look at Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)
Heres a short video I took foraging in a park in New Jersey. This area i was walking is at the tip of the pine barrens; there is sandy acidic soil and a heath forest including rhododendron and blueberries, oaks, sassafras, etc. That means you can find wintergreen growing wherever you find that habitat.
The berries make a great snack, and the leaves make a wonderful tea, but should be harvested with respect to sustaining the plants life. After harvesting 1-2 leaves of each plant, I usually break the leaves up, maybe 6 to a cup, and simmer with a lid on for 10 minutes. After that if you want to increase the delicate but healing flavor you can take the leaves out and make a decoction.
This plant makes an incredibly delicious, refreshing, and medicinal tea which is anti inflammatory and cleansing for the blood. It can also be found in mid winter when not much else can be found.
Enjoy the music, just an improvisation of me on guitar, and Vincent Smith on tabla. (http://www.vincentpiercepercussion.com/)

satsang-radio-with-daniel-sitaram-das
This is a radio talk where Host Sitaram Das interviews Dan Farella. They discuss topics including foraging, herbalism, nature, yoga, and how Dan is seeking to unite them all in his own life. "They talk about the plants, and how they are manifestations of the Goddess. They speak about the importance of working with the mental conditioning that keeps us separate from nature, and the healing medicine that may be growing in our own back yards. All Plants Are Prasad!

Heres the 11th video in a series teaching the class entitled “Fermentation and Kombucha: Culture Your Health” at NOFA NJ Winter Gathering in January 2015. Continuing in this series, in this video I mention that the only real contraindication with vegetable fermentation can be with salt, in certain cases. I also answer another question from an audience, “What about yeast and candida issues?”

THE Z
the-zen-of-chicken-of-the-woods
Here's a video considering ethical and sustainable harvest of the Laetiporus mushrooms, of which there are 2 or 3 species in North America; namely laetiporus sulphureus, and laetiporus cincinnatus. Commonly known as the chicken of the woods mushroom, this is a beautiful, and relatively easy mushroom to identify. They are amazing in a stir fry, and research has actually been shown that they are active against staph infections, " All strains demonstrated antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria during agar and submerged cultivation including methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and glycopeptide-resistant strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides." - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12741318 -
