Medicine Wheel of Plant Uses
Part 2
Part 2
by Susun Weed

The gate to the East leads to the realm of the animals: those who give us milk and meat. It appears that it was for them that we began to cultivate grain, and to harvest the grasses to make hay. The Great Goddess appears more often as a milk animal than in any other manifestation, according to Barbara Walker. She is the "wetnurse of humanity." The cornucopia is her horn, spilling out nourishment in all its forms.

Plants of the East: Grasses

Wheat, spelt, rice, rye, barley, oats, millet, corn

1. What part?

The seeds.

2. When harvested?

When ripe and dry. No mould!

3. How prepared?

Cooked thoroughly to inactivate phytic acid, a nutrient-robbing phyto-chemical in all grains and beans. Or sprouted and then roasted (this is called malting), or ground into a fine meal and cooked, or sprouted and cooked, all of which inactive phytates.

4. How much consumed?

Unlimited amounts. Best to use many different species and types of grains to ensure a complete complement of amino acids (protein building blocks).

Change the answer to question 1 and move it to the South.

1. What part?

The leaves.

2. When harvested?

When the grass has jointed and the seeds are just starting to form.

3. How prepared?

Dried, then brewed with water; for instance, oatstraw infusion.

Or fed to animals as hay and then consumed as milk, cheese, yogurt, muscles and organs. The advantage of having the complete proteins found in animal foodstuffs (rather than partial ones found in plants) has caused people all over the world to feed all of the hay and most of the grain they grow to their livestock whenever possible.

4. How much consumed?

Unlimited amounts; up to one quart of oatstraw infusion daily.
