Picture the kitchen counter at dusk: amber dropper bottles, dried marshmallow root in a glass jar, motherwort tincture catching the last light through the window. Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) — leonurine and stachydrine, mild beta-adrenergic blockade, slows the anxiety pulse. Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) — mucilaginous polysaccharides, cold infusion only, coats a gut burned raw by the news cycle. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) — anthocyanin-rich, retinal microcirculation, pulls the screen-fatigue out of the eyes. The body keeps two ledgers. The news shows one. Tend the other.

The Doctor Will See You

Whenever you call Dr. Andrew Gilchrist’s direct primary care (DPC) office, there are no phone trees. There isn’t a receptionist picking up, either. Instead, Gilchrist himself picks up the phone aft…
