Beautiful Lucy. I had a garden overgrown with Oxalis for a while and got to making Oxalis salads, pestos etc. I love this approach - there is no such thing as a weed, just a plant that needs to find its purpose 😊 Good luck with launching your Ayurveda shorts series. There is so much wisdom there to share ❤

That’s really interesting, I’ve avoided it because of the high oxalis acid content, I was concerned about my kidneys, did you ever have kidney issues or stones? Nettles that have gone to seed are also said to cause kidney issues, but I haven’t met anyone yet who has verified that for me 🤔

No, I've never had kidney issues, but I only eat it in moderation...

That’s good to hear, I need to go on a good foraging course, books can be confusing!

Best wishes with your launch of Ayurveda Shorts, Lucy. I recently shut down my remote Chinese Medicine herb/diet/lifestyle services as my partner and I prepare to move abroad in June. If anyone contacts me looking for holistic support, I'll let them know about your newsletter!
