 Nothing connects us to nature and our materials, like growing and tending the plants that give us such wonderful gifts.

Plants will indeed communicate with us, and there is truth in the concept of plant allies. However, we must initiate and establish a giving, nurturing, and mutually reciprocal relationship with them first. Germinating and growing a plant and tending to its needs is a wonderful way to strike up an enduring, meaningful, and mutually beneficial relationship.

I hope that by spreading the seeds of these plants, someone will find ideal growing conditions, learn how to cultivate them commercially and relieve some of the stress on the wild populations that we are overharvesting.

Asafoetida

The aroma of Asafoetida resin is extremely pungent and strong.  It is often compared in aroma to a blend of sulphur and onions, However. Asafoetida has a much more complex and rich fragrance profile. In perfume, incense, medicine and magic, only a very small amount is needed. I have to point out here that the essential oil of Asafoetida is drab and non-descript compared to the fresh resin and does not do the plant justice. I imagine a tincture of the resin could deliver much more to a perfume blend.

"Ferula asafoetida is a herbaceous plant of the Umbelliferae family. It is oleo gum resin obtained from the rhizome and root of the plant. This spice is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment and in pickles. It is used in modern herbalism in the treatment of hysteria, some nervous conditions, bronchitis, asthma and whooping cough. It was at one time employed in the treatment of infantile pneumonia and flatulent colic. The gum resin is antispasmodic, carminative, expectorant, laxative, and sedative. The volatile oil in the gum is eliminated through the lungs, making this an excellent treatment for asthma. The odour of asafoetida is imparted to the breath, secretions, flatus, and gastric eructations. Its properties are antispasmodic, expectorant, stimulant, emmenagogue and vermifuge. Asafoetida has also been used as a sedative. It also thins the blood and lowers blood pressure. It is widely used in India in food and as a medicine in Indian systems of medicine like Ayurveda. Asafoetida has been held in great esteem among indigenous medicines, particularly in the Unani system from the earliest times."

The preceding paragraph is an excerpt from an excellent article about Asafoetida on NCBI. Rather than repeat or rehash what is already presented so well, I suggest you read the full article here-www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459456/ (You may have to copy and paste the link in your browser.

In Folk Magic traditions, Asafoetida is considered a powerful protective and banishing herb often used in magical incense blends and protective amulets. It is hot in nature and I believe ruled by Mars/Pluto/Scorpio from an Astrological point of view.

It is considered an aphrodisiac in some cultures and used to boost the libido.

How to germinate Asafoetida seeds

  • Biologist Lennard Pisa has been experimenting with growing plants from these seeds. His suggestion is-
  • "Chill for 3 to 6 weeks at 5°c. Ferula Asafoetida, Gummosa, and Foetida take an average of a month to germinate; Dorema takes longer. Not all seeds sprout at the same time; some take 3 weeks, and some take 5. Ferula is close to Angelica taxonomically. Technically, it is a monocarpic perennial; the plants live for 3-5 years and then flower, after which they die."

  • The nominal temperature of most domestic refrigerators is 5 degrees Celsius. Which makes them perfect for seed stratification.

  • After stratification, plant your seeds in deep pots or directly in the soil at a depth of 1 centimetre and water them in.

  • Asafoetida seeds send down long tap roots, so if you sow them in pots first, make sure the roots have enough room to develop and won't be disturbed too much when planting out.
  • There are approximately 200 seeds in a half-ounce packet, which is 15 Grams. I am not sure of the germination rate, so having more than you need is always a good idea.

Won’t Fit No Matter What
Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White, Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White
These shoes don’t stretch so I was unable to get my foot in the shoe. They are my size, but the opening has no stretch so you can’t get your foot in the shoe. I tried several different ways and then realized even though the shoe is the correct size, the opening was too small. They made the opening for the shoe probably the same size on all shoes, so unless you have kids feet you won’t even be able to slide them on. I’ve never had a shoe I couldn’t get on. I’ve worn Sketchers no problem. This is design flaw and I highly recommend you don’t buy!

Great Fit, Lightweight, and Totally Quiet
Size: 11, Color: New Black05
Great fit and very comfortable once you pick the right size. Lightweight, breathable, and completely silent on hard floors. No squeaks or “suction” sounds like some reviews claimed. Normal packaging, normal opening, no issues at all. Excellent value for the price.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn
Size: 11, Color: New Black05
First off, I was not expecting much buying a no-name shoe online, especially for the price. Boy was I in for a surprise... I've owned these for almost a full year, and can confidently say these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I normally wear a size 11 and these fit me perfectly. Prior to this the most comfortable shoes I had were some Cole Haans with the Nike air technology. These shoes are so lightweight, so comfortable, I can wear them all day long without feeling a thing. Whenever I (rarely) need to wear a different pair of shoes, I am immediately reminded of how much I used to hate wearing shoes and couldn't wait to take them off. Based on the price, I expected them to wear down quickly. However they are still going strong. Running, hiking, long walks, biking, worn to office / casual events. These shoes have been soaked in mud multiple times, but clean up easily by just throwing them in the washing machine and then the dryer. The soles and the insoles have both worn down a bit over the past year; at this rate I expect to get 1.5 to 2 years out of them before needing to be replaced. So far I must have put at least a thousand miles on these shoes based on how much I wear them. They look good too. I have the all-black pair, and they look decent with jeans and a button up shirt for a night out, but also look natural in an athletic setting with shorts and no socks. Very versatile and subtle. Now for the cons, which are minor. The pattern on the bottom of the sole is prone to some squeaking/suction sounds at first. However after about a month some of the ridges wore down just enough that it was no longer a problem. Second: they are not as breathable as I would have liked. For example, when running or biking, you don't feel any air on your feet. Wearing them out in the sun on a hot summer day, your feet will get a bit stuffy. In fact the fabric is woven tight enough that I wear them in the winter and in the rain, and don't get too cold or wet. So I do wish they made a more breathable version for summer time use. All that being said, these are still the best pair of shoes I've ever had. Ultra light weight, comfortable, and can be worn all day long without feeling any fatigue whatsoever. --- UPDATE: It's been 1 year and 9 months, and the soles on these shoes are fully worn out and ready for replacement. Considering I've put between 1,000-2,000 miles of walking in these, that's pretty good. If anyone from Feethit is reading this, here are my top suggestions to perfect this shoe: 1) Easy fix - change the tread pattern. The current pattern causes suction cup effect on hard floors until it starts to wear down. Simply add some gaps in the circle pattern in the tread and it will remedy that issue. 2) Most importantly, put a thin piece of durable rubber on the bottom of the sole. The sole does wear down after some time and lose traction, especially on smooth wet floors (e.g. in the rain, in a kitchen, etc.). A thin piece of durable rubber would add more traction and also extend the life of the cushion-like sole (which is fantastic, don't change it!). This would easily be worth an extra $5-$10 in the price.
