Ku-Kendra Kolb Butler, akuzange kuqale ngombono njengombono. Umakadebona womkhakha wonobuhle, obesethuthele eJackson Hole, eWyoming, waseNew York City, ube nesikhathi se-eureka ehlezi kuvulandi wakhe ngelinye ilanga. Ubecabanga ukuthi kungani iningi labesifazane abathenga esitolo sakhe, i-Alpyn Beauty Bar, behlushwa yizinkinga zesikhumba-ukomisa amanzi emzimbeni, nokuzwela - okungenakuxazululwa yinoma yimiphi imikhiqizo ayithengisayo.

"Ngangibuka izimbali ezinsomi ezimila ezintabeni, futhi ngazibuza, Ziye zakwazi kanjani ukuzivumelanisa nezakhi ezinzima ezifana nomswakama ophansi, ukuphakama okuphezulu, kanye nelanga elidlulele? siqinisa isikhumba futhi? " (Okuhlobene: Ngabe Isikhumba Sakho Sidinga Ukubona Isazi Sezengqondo?)

Efuna izimpendulo zale mibuzo, waqala ukuqoqa i-arnica kanye ne-chamomile emahlathini angatshaliwe nezimfunda ezizungeze i-Jackson Hole-umkhuba owaziwa ngokuthi yi-wildcrafting noma ukufuna ukudla-futhi wakwenza umugqa omusha wokunakekela isikhumba, i-Alpyn Beauty.

"Ngesikhathi sithumela amasampula ethu elebhu ukuze ahlolwe, ayengaphandle kwamashadi e-potency, elinganisa ama-omega aphezulu kanye nezithako ezinamafutha abalulekile ezaziwa ukusiza ukuthuthukisa isikhumba," kusho u-Kolb Butler. "Ngikholelwa ngempela ukuthi impendulo yemikhiqizo yemvelo esebenza kangcono-nesikhumba esingcono-itholakala emahlathini asendle." Njengoba kuvela, uyingxenye yenkambiso ekhulayo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba.

Ukuphakama Kwe-Wildcrafting

Ngokufana ne-terroir ekwenzeni iwayini, umqondo wokuthi inhlabathi yesitshalo nezimo ezikhulayo kungathinta indlela esithanda ngayo, esinuka ngayo, noma esiziphatha ngayo ekubumbeni akuyona into entsha ngokuphelele kuma-rose-roses akhuliswe eGrasse, eFrance, athathwa njengesiqongo sokwenza amakha , kanye netiyi eliluhlaza elinothe nge-polyphenol elivela esiqhingini iJeju, eSouth Korea, liyisoso eliyimfihlo kuma-anti-ager amaningi ama-K.

Kepha izinkampani ziya ngokuya zisuka ebalazweni zifuna ama-botanicals asendle. Abanakekeli besikhumba doyenne Tata Harper, Grown Alchemist, kanye noLoli Beauty baphakathi kwalezo ezifaka izitshalo ezenzelwe abanye abantu, bekholelwa ukuthi bangaba nobumsulwa namandla okungenziwa nawukulima nge-biodynamic. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi izitshalo ezitshalwe endaweni zivame ukuba phezulu kuma-antioxidants, ama-flavonoid, amavithamini, nama-omega-3 fatty acids kunozakwabo abafuywayo—hhayi nje kuphela ngoba zihlala emhlabathini onothile ngamaminerali ngaphandle kwezibulala-zinambuzane kodwa ngenxa yokuthi kumele zikhulise ukukhiqizwa kwazo. ama-phytochemicals avikelayo ukuze achume ngesomiso, iqhwa, imimoya enamandla nelanga elingapheli. Imikhiqizo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba inika la mandla amakhulu kumaseli wethu esikhumba ngendlela ye-hydration, ukulungiswa kwe-DNA, nokuvikelwa okukhululekile kwamahhala. (Zonke izinto eziwusizo kakhulu zokulwa nokuguga kwesikhumba sakho.)

"Izitshalo eziphakeme kakhulu zinenani eliphakeme lokwelapha kunezitshalo ezisezingeni eliphansi ngoba zinempilo enzima," kusho uJustine Kahn, umsunguli wenkampani yemvelo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba iBotnia, esanda kukhipha i-juniper hydrosol eyenziwe ngamaqabunga ezihlahla epulazini likanina eNew Mexico.

"Ngesikhathi sihlola i-hydrosol yethu, sithole ukuthi inamanani amaningi aphakeme ama-flavonoid asiza ukukhipha isikhumba. Bekufanele sizivunele thina umjunipha futhi siwubuyise ngamapotimende amakhulu kulebhu yethu eSausalito, [eCalifornia], kodwa bekufanele."

Ngale kwepulazi

Akuzona nje izinkampani zobuhle ezincane ezikhona lapho ezifuna ukudla. UDkt Hauschka, ifa lomkhiqizo waseJalimane wemvelo owasungulwa ngo-1967, sekuyisikhathi eside esebenzisa izithako ezenziwe ngobuciko zasendle. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ama-botanicals amaningi anezinzuzo ezinhle kakhulu zokuhlobisa isikhumba ayamelana nokulinywa okunjenge-arnica yokulima, ethambisa izinhlungu, echuma emadlelweni aphakeme kodwa evame ukuncipha lapho kulinywa, kusho u-Edwin Batista, umqondisi wezemfundo kuDkt Hauschka.

Izithako eziyinhloko emikhiqizweni kaDkt Hauschka ehlanganiswe ngale ndlela: iso elikhanyayo, umuthi olwa nokuvuvukala otholakala ezintabeni eziseningizimu zeVosges zaseFrance; i-horsetail yasendle, ekhazimulayo futhi eqinile esikhunjeni nasekhanda kodwa ebhekwa njengokhula oluyinkathazo ngabalimi abavamile; kanye ne-pH-bancing, i-collagen-stimulating chicory extract, emila emhlabathini wobumba osebeni lwemifula nasemigwaqweni yasemaphandleni.

Isici Sokusimama

Ukwakhiwa kwe-Wildcrafting kungaba nobungane kakhulu ne-eco: Kususwa izimbali ezincane kuphela, amagxolo, noma amagatsha, ngakho-ke lesi sitshalo asikaze sibulawe.

"Sisebenzisana neziphathimandla zezemvelo ukuze sithole imvume, sivune kuphela esikudingayo, futhi singalokothi sikhethe endaweni eyodwa kabili esikhathini esithile," kusho uBatista. "Lokho kuqinisekisa ukuthi le ndawo ingakwazi ukuzivuselela." Kukhona, noma kunjalo, izitshalo ezivunwe ngokweqile ngokweqile, ikakhulu ukuze zisetshenziselwe ukwelashwa namakhambi, kufaka phakathi i-goldenseal ne-arnica. (Okokugcina ungase ukubone njengesithako kuma-rubs nama-balms athoba imisipha.)

Ukuhlwaya izithako ezisebenzayo ngokusebenzisa ubuciko basendle nakho kungasiza ekuvikeleni ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo ngokuveza izinzuzo ezivela ezitshalweni ezingazange zibonakale ekunakekelweni kwesikhumba. U-Kolb Butler usanda kuvuna i-chokecherry yasendle, athi "kukholakala ukuthi ine-anthocyanin [i-antioxidant enamandla kakhulu] kunamafutha e-sea buckthorn," futhi u-Kahn uhlaziya amandla okuqeda ukuvuvukala kwe-redwood inaliti ekhishwe.

Ngesikhathi lapho izibalo ezethusayo zikhombisa ukuthi amaphesenti angama-23 kuphela omhlaba eMhlabeni ahlala engathintwanga ngumsebenzi wabantu, akufanele sidinge esinye isizathu sokuvikela izindawo zethu zasendle kanye nezimangaliso ezikuqukethe. Kwazi bani ukuthi iyiphi intuthuko ekhona lapho, ekhula komunye umngcele wasemuva kwezwe?

Ngamazwi wesazi semvelo esikhulu sekhulu le-19 uJohn Muir, "Phakathi kwazo zonke izihlahla zikaphayini kukhona umnyango wezwe elisha."
