I'm helping my friend, Patient #1, with their Sunburn problem. They went to the beach in the afternoon and didn't protect their skin from harmful UV light. The sunburn is mild and appeared 2 hours prior.

- Your suggestions for relief (including, but not limited to)
- Behavioral: protect skin and shield from sun during peak UV light hours
- Food as medicine: stay hydrated
- Concoctions: apply my homemade salve made with calendula, plantain, and yarrow
- Description of success (including, but not limited to)
- What your friend actually did: applied the salve at night and again in the morning the next day
- How well it worked and how long it took to see results: the burn was not noticeable the next morning and the skin didn't peel two weeks later.

- Picture of you with friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting

I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!
