This is our lovely Comfrey salve, derived from plants grown wild and free in rich nutritious soil—no chemicals, no pesticides, just pure plant medicine, the way nature intended.
I believe skincare starts at the root, which is why I grow my own herbs organically.
Comfrey has been Ireland's secret for generations. All you need is to read the Duchas archives—rich in allantoin to soothe, heal, and renew your skin naturally.
From seed to garden, to salve, keeping it pure & potent. 🍃

Herb Garden is looking a bit dismal! BUT looking back at last summers Bounty has me eager to get going again! 70% of my plants will just return when they're ready to come out of hibernation! I've learnt to let nature be. There are plenty of seeds to start Calendula, Comfrey, Chamomile, Poppies Cornflowers, and massive amounts of wildflowers seeds! and of course, I will have new orders of medicinal plants coming along, no doubt!! Wonder can I outdo myself with my Calendula planting this year!! Roll on the orange blooms🧡🌿🌼

I've been quiet on here lately, but I've been busy behind the scenes. I’ve recently made a change to my herbal salves — switching the base oil from sweet almond oil to extra virgin olive oil, which is deeply nourishing, incredibly stable, and rich in antioxidants.
It’s also gentler for sensitive skin and more suitable for those with nut allergies - Main reason in doing so, as so many children use these balms for skin issues.
Same herbs. Same intention. Even better nourishment.
Thank you for trusting my work and growing with me 🌿🌼

It's been a good year!
Looking back at photos, it's a reminder to see how hard work pays off.. even if it doesn't feel like work, sometimes!
My direction is clear, and here's to another year of small achievements! Unnoticeable to many but noticeable to those who matter.
I'm heading into the new year with lots of creative ideas and imagination as always.
Thanks to those who have supported me over the last year, my lovely customers, my insta buddies, and my real-life people!
Looking forward to another year of growing and creating. 🌼
Happy New Year to those who celebrate. Xx

Good morning. We made it!
All orders are posted, and now it's time for some downtime.
Thanks to you all so much for the support over the last while❤️
I finish this year's work with a full heart, seeing so many of you return to natural remedies and trusting in them. Like we should.
We are nearing midwinter, and with the solstice approaching, I am so looking forward to the wheel turning! Lots of ideas and plans to unfold. I can not wait to get back in the garden. Lots to prepare. But for now, a break is needed to spend some time with my little family and replenish stocks for the new year.
Wishing you all a Merry Midwinter. However, you celebrate it. Enjoy the little things❤️

All systems go here this morning! Overwhelmed with gratitude for all the orders the last few days❣️

Just a reminder tomorrow is the last day for guaranteed christmas delivery within Ireland.
So please get your orders in before 12pm tomorrow.

However, I will be posting until this friday but can't guarantee it will arrive before christmas.

I have discounted some of my last stock online, and when it's gone, it won't be replenished until after the christmas rush! I will be taking some downtime, and also, as all my oils are slow infusions, I just can not rush the process!

There are still a handful of gift sets left online, and lots of little stocking fillers 🎄

Have a lovely week, everyone 🥰
