There's a lot to be said for simple.

A simple nourishing lip balm with miminal ingredients (4) and no added flavours or scent.

This calendula lip balm is loved by many due to its long-lasting factor and the fact it comes in a handy recyclable ♻️ cardboard tube.

The Calendula is homegrown here in our garden and solar infused in sweet almond oil for 6 to 8 weeks for best medicinal benefit.

I definitely recommend trying it, your lips will thank you 🌼☀️💛

Infusing Comfrey in Olive Oil this morning.
Comfrey - often called knitbone - has been used in traditional herbalism for centuries. When infused into olive oil, it creates a deeply nourishing herbal oil that I use to make my salves.
Comfrey contains allantoin, a compound known for supporting skin repair and tissue regeneration, making it one of my favourite herbs for soothing injuries, tired muscles, bruises, and dry or damaged skin.
I infuse my comfrey for 6 weeks or so in a dark cupboard until the oil turns an almost black colour!
One of my most loved salves.

Did we brrrr 🥶 our way through that weekend up here in the north west!
A new week, and we are halfway through this short month already!
As the early stirrings of spring begin, this is often when the body feels the echoes of winter most — in tired muscles, stiff joints, and lingering tension.
Our Herbal Comfort Salve was created to bring warmth and ease during these in-between seasonal moments.

This particular blend was created to:
🌿 Soothe tired muscles
🌿 Support joint comfort
🌿 Encourage circulation
🌿 Bring gentle warmth where it’s needed most

Offering herbal support while the body slowly moves from winter stillness toward spring renewal.
A small daily ritual of care, in tune with the season 🌱
