  "Selfheal"
  by Blair Wainman

  Scientific Name: Prunella vulgaris / Common Name: Selfheal / Family Name: Lamiaceae / Prunella is a genus of seven species of herbaceous plants in the family Lamiaceae, also known as self-heals or “allheal” for their use in herbal medicine. Self-heals are low-growing plants, and thrive in moist wasteland and grass, spreading rapidly to cover the ground. They are members of the mint family and have the square stem common to mints. The common name “self-heal” derives from the use of some species to treat a range of minor disorders. It is reported to have an antiseptic and antibacterial effect, and to be particularly good in cases of food poisoning. In the Pacific Northwest, its juice was used by the Quinault and the Quileute on boils. / This one was taken in the Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada / / /

  2 Strong 4 Weakness

  This picture is one of those works, which at first glance seem to show only some kind of emotional or romantic topics. It could be associated as such – and that’s ok ;-) / But that’s not the only and not the first goal. As a matter of fact, it’s been composed as part of a series concerning health topics. The different kind of flowers have a deeper mean: the daisy – a classical symbol for love and heartache with it’s lost flower parts, fallen on earth, on earth of reality and facts, like a metapher for lost illusions, lost love, lost life worth sense. The yellow calendula officinalis stands for sunny, optimistic colour, optimistic inner balance, for healing power of nature, selfhealing power. Power everybody might be able to reactivate in situation of personal, professional, health crisis. Reactivate alone or with help. Medical help, personal help, therapeutic help, especially in case of personal and health problems like depression and burnout: Both still a tabu in society, in professional daily work and private life, a stigma and well hided. Weakness is – still – not allowed. You have to be powerful, breaking down for organic, physical heart problems is “accepted” weakness, burnout, depressions aren’t. If not physically ill, Your heart, the symbol for power, for life itself, has to stay “in function”, to be strong. Selfdisciplined, strong, without breakdown in crisis, whatever crisis could be. But for some, it’s a very serious and difficult way to keep their heart unbroken, their center of power and their motor of competence. It’s difficult for them to unbreak it, to revive. To be clear, transparent in their healthy power to keep things running, while hiding that this center of inner balance and power could break oder become weak. / Those are some of the thoughts and background for this work as a part of series of health topics, e.g. for hospitals, health care units, pharma, patients organisations, etc. In case of interest for this or other works let me know, as well as Your own associations with this picture. Thanks for attention to it and have a sunny and smileful day!

  Selfheal or Healall (Prunella vulgaris)
  by Mike Oxley

  From Ontario Wildflowers: A clumped perennial with 4-sided stems, 10 to 30 cm tall. Flowers are purplish-blue (sometimes pink to white), 1 to 2 cm long, tubular, with hooded upper lip and broad 3 lobed lower lip; borne in the axis of reddish-fringed bracts in dense 2 to 5 cm spikes. Blooms May to September. Like many herbs, selfheal was added to all-purpose salves, washed, gargles and syrups, and it was used to make medicinal teas for fevers and digestive upsets, but it seems to have been seldom used. Because the flowers were likened to small mouths, 17th century healers believed it would cure mouth and throat infections. Today, selfheal is known mainly as a common weed and lawn pest that blooms when only 5 cm tall. The plant can be eaten raw or cooked or used to make a flavourful tea, so harvesting it is an environmentally friendly way to control its spread. Taken on the banks of a ditch, along the fence that surrounds the graveyard at the back of my apartment building, Cornwall, Ontario.
