Looking to the Land for Healing

Description:

Are you health conscious? Do you care about what you eat and drink? Do you exercise regularly and try to get enough sleep? If you live in British Columbia, chances are you make some conscious health decisions every day.

This week's challenge starts with an exploration of the traditional plants used by the Secwepemc of British Columbia.

Explore the Secwepemc Ethnobotanical Gardens’ website.
Do you use any of the plants listed regularly? Do you use wild rose hip? Cedar oil? Thimbleberries? Is there a medicinal plant in BC that you think people need to know about?

Send us your testimonial (no more than 250 words) on a legal medicinal plant found in BC that you have used, or your family has used, or that you plan to use... (My Grandma's mustard poultices come to mind).

Testimonials may be submitted in the format of your choice. It may be a recorded audio clip using our 1 800 number, a Voice Thread Digital Story, a PowerPoint Presentation, a Wiz iQ recorded presentation, or a text document.

If You Choose to Tell Your Testimonial by leaving a message on our 1 800 Audio Recording:

Write your testimonial. Rehearse it. When you are ready to record it call:
1-800-609-9006 x 8055 (US and Canada) or
1-678-255-2174 x 8055 (Outside US and Canada).

Speak when prompted, and then leave a few seconds of silence when
you are done speaking to indicate to the system that you have
completed. Don't hang up until you are prompted to save the recording.

You can call in and record subsequent times if you are not happy with your original take.

Audio Recordings are sent to the hosts via Email. If you phone
in and record your story, please create a posting in the Audience
Submissions area with your title and indicate that you recorded a
story. We will add the audio clip.
