๐Ÿ‚ Autumn plant medicine calls on roots, barks & seeds.

๐ŸŒฒ In the fall/winter, leaves fall back, and plantsโ€™ energy descends to the roots. Naturally, our bodies follow natureโ€™s rhythm & the colds, flus, digestive issues that accompany the season are best supported by root-based medicines. ๐Ÿคง

๐Ÿซš Roots, barks, seeds, & berries need more time & heat to release their medicine. So we prepare them as a decoction on the stove. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Be sure if youโ€™re adding any flowers or leaves to only add them after the decoction once removed from heat. Otherwise, the volatile oils from the infusion will be lost in the boiling. ๐ŸŒน

SHADOW SPELL BLEND
aka the base of my Licorice Hex mocktail ๐Ÿ–ค

Decoction:
๐Ÿซ elderberry โ‰ˆ 2 tsp
๐ŸŒฑ fennel seed โ‰ˆ 1 tbsp (lightly crushed)
โญ๏ธ star anise pod โ‰ˆ 3 pods
๐ŸŠ dried orange peel โ‰ˆ 1 tbsp
๐Ÿซ– 3 cups boiling water

Optional infusion or decoction:
๐ŸŒฟ licorice root โ‰ˆ 2 tsp

๐Ÿธ For a mocktail, Iโ€™d recommend
adding to your decoction for a stronger flavour & deeper immune-supportive energetics.

๐Ÿ’ง For more cooling, moistening energetics, try an infusion for dry coughs, stress, & digestive irritation. ๐Ÿง๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

As the winds turn crisp and the air dries, your body feels it too. Dry skin, restless thoughts, and that pull toward sweets or comfort. These shifts arenโ€™t random. Theyโ€™re the season speaking! ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

This is when herbs become our greatest allies:

โœจ Warming ๐Ÿ”ฅ ~ cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom to stoke inner fire and circulation.
โœจ Moistening๐Ÿ’ง~ marshmallow root, oat straw, licorice root, and hibiscus to soothe dryness and replenish fluids.
โœจ Calming + Grounding ๐ŸŒ™ ~ chamomile, rose, lemon balm, and lavender to settle scattered energy and soften the nervous system.
โœจ Ritual ๐Ÿต ~ mugwort, butterfly pea, elderberry, and rosehips to connect you back to mystery, natural cycles, and seasonal magic.

Herbs remind us that October isnโ€™t about pushing harder, itโ€™s about listening deeper.
Sip slowly. Root down. Return to rhythm. ๐Ÿ–ค

Hey friends!

The mountains are calling a gal home! ๐Ÿ”

Beginning mid August I will once again be offering online herbalist consultations. ๐ŸŒฟ

You can expect our initial consultation to last between 60-90 minutes. The intention for this time is to gather an in-depth understanding of your current medical condition and past medical history. The end goal is a personalized herbal treatment protocol to guide your body back to optimal health. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

I am looking to take on 2 patients at an investment of $65 per consult. Should you choose to fill any herbal supports (tea, tincture, salve) that are part of the protocol, they will come at further cost. Totally up to you what you choose to fill! No pressure at all. ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

You may be simply looking to reground a depleted body/mind or you may have a specific concern youโ€™d like to address. Hormone balancing, skin support, stress, anxiety, depression, postpartum, menopause, you name it. ๐Ÿ–ค

If youโ€™re interested in snagging one of the 2 spots or have any questions, shoot me a message! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Aspirin is quite literally named after the old botanical name for meadowsweet, Spiraea ulmaria. ๐ŸŒฟ

The salicylates, aka the aspirin-like substances, which are found in this herb are used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. While aspirin may cause gastric ulceration at higher doses, meadowsweetโ€™s combination of salicylates and tannins act to protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. ๐Ÿคฏ

Meadowsweet may be supportive for:

๐Ÿค rheumatic muscle and joint pain
๐Ÿค fevers
๐Ÿค gut inflammation
๐Ÿค acid reflux
๐Ÿค IBS
๐Ÿค gastric ulcers
๐Ÿค diarrhea

So many of the p!lls we take are originally derived from plant constituents!!! ๐Ÿ’Š Something to consider should you ever find yourself doubting the effectiveness of herbs. Before we had pharmacies, we had the forest and our gardens. ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿง๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ„

I met her in the garden a few weeks ago and was mesmerized by the beauty of her long, cheery, yellow petals and MASSIVE leaves. She seemed to pop up out of nowhere and towered gracefully over me. ๐ŸŒผ

The root of this herb works as a stimulating to release old and infected mucous. It opens our lungs and clears all we donโ€™t need to carry, helping us move through stagnation. ๐Ÿซ
