🍇 Elderberry has been used for generations as a daily immune ally. It’s lapsed with Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. The oxymel offers additional benefits of apple cider vinegar and honey.
My family takes elderberry syrup daily and I can say the oxymel, syrup, tincutre cans gummies are all kid-approved (and I have some major critics living with me 😅😊)!!

🌿 At Mill Slough Apothecary, we prepare our elderberry slowly, in small batches, honoring both tradition and potency.

Do you ever get told you look mad when you’re just concentrating?

Apparently my ‘thinking about herbs’ face looks suspiciously like my ‘don’t talk to me’ face.

I’m not trying to freeze my expressions — life is meant to be lived. But nourishing skin with simple ingredients makes all the difference.

That’s why I use my slow-crafted tallow face cream made from grass-fed tallow and skin-loving botanicals.

Intentional. Slow crafted. Small batch. Follow us for more behind the scenes!

Part 2: Why We Choose Tallow Skincare

Modern skincare has become incredibly complicated. It contains synthetic fragrances and preservatives that interfere with the body’s natural hormone signaling when absorbed through the skin.

⚠️ Long ingredient lists.
⚠️ Chemicals we can’t pronounce.
⚠️ Products for every tiny step of a routine.

🌿 But traditional skincare was beautifully simple. For centuries, families used one of the most nourishing ingredients nature provides: tallow.

Grass-fed tallow is uniquely supportive to our skin because its fatty acids closely resemble the oils our skin naturally produces. Which means it nourishes instead of disrupting the skin barrier.

At Mill Slough Apothecary, our tallow skincare is:
💫 Slowly rendered
💫 Whipped into rich creams and butters
💫 Made with simple, intentional ingredients

Gentle enough for babies 🍼 Trusted by the whole family 💟

No synthetic fillers.
No harsh additives.

Just the kind of skincare our great grandmothers would recognize.

Sometimes the most powerful skincare…
is also the most traditional.

⚠️ Many conventional skincare products contain synthetic fragrances and preservatives that may disrupt hormone signaling in the body when absorbed through the skin.

One of the most beautiful things about traditional skincare is its simplicity. Our ancestors didn’t need shelves full of complicated products. They used nourishing ingredients the body already recognizes.

That’s why tallow has been used in skincare for centuries.

Properly rendered grass-fed tallow is incredibly supportive to the skin because its fatty acid profile is remarkably similar to our own skin’s natural oils.

That means it can deeply nourish without disrupting the skin barrier. At the apothecary, our tallow skincare is:
💫 Slowly rendered
💫 Carefully whipped into creams and butters
💫 Made with simple, purposeful ingredients

Gentle enough for babies 🍼 Trusted by the whole family 💟

No long ingredient lists. No harsh chemicals.

Just traditional skincare the way it was meant to be. Because sometimes the old ways are the wisest ways.

Part 1: The Curious Thing About Natural Healing

‼️ There’s something I’ve always found curious.

Many of the things that truly support our bodies — herbs, mineral-rich foods, tinctures, and natural remedies — are rarely covered by insurance.

Yet many people find themselves paying large out-of-pocket costs for treatments after illness develops.

For generations, families relied on plants, food, and slow medicine to support wellness before disease ever took root.

At the apothecary, every bottle is a return to that tradition.

🌿 Each herb is thoughtfully selected.
🌿 Each tincture is slowly steeped in small batches.
🌿 Each jar and bottle is filled by hand with care and intention.

This work isn’t rushed. It’s cherished.

Because herbal medicine isn’t just about products —it’s about reconnecting to the wisdom of the plants and the rhythms of nature.

☀️ Wisdom Wednesday ☀️

Do you know what the circadian rhythm is? For most of human history, the sun was part of our daily rhythm — rising with it, working under it, and resting as it set.

Modern science is now confirming what our ancestors already knew:

🌞 Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, supporting immunity and bone health.

🌞 Natural light regulates our circadian rhythm, helping us sleep better at night.

🌞 Exposure to sunlight triggers serotonin, which supports mood and emotional balance. 

The wisdom isn’t to fear the sun — it’s to respect it and use it wisely. Slow, consistent exposure allows our skin to adapt through the seasons.

🥦 Nourishing foods and healthy skin care help support the body’s natural relationship with sunlight.

⚠️ So what’s this twist⁉️ the “industry” started commercializing the fear-based approach with consumers and selling sunscreens loaded with chemicals and fragrances that disrupt the endocrine system and mess with our hormones.

💖 That’s why the apothecary created nourishing sun cream — simple, nutrient-rich care that supports the skin while enjoying time outdoors. 🔗 in comments

🌿 The old ways still have something to teach us.

✨ From Suet to Tallow — The Old Ways Still Work ✨

There’s something deeply grounding about returning to traditional fats that nourished and cared for generations before us.

In this video I’m slowly rendering suet into pure tallow — a simple process that transforms one of the most nutrient-dense animal fats into something incredibly versatile.

For centuries, tallow has been used for both food and skin, and for good reason.

🤍 For Cooking
• High smoke point
• Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K
• Stable healthy fat that doesn’t easily oxidize
• Supports energy and hormone health

🤍 For Skin
• Nearly identical to our skin’s natural oils
• Deeply moisturizing without clogging pores
• Supports the skin barrier and healing
• Rich in nourishing fatty acids

At the apothecary, we believe in honoring the whole animal and the wisdom of traditional living. Nothing rushed, nothing wasted — just slow crafted nourishment.

From this tallow comes many of my favorite creations… from face creams to lotions bars.

Sometimes the most powerful remedies are the ones our ancestors used every day.

🌿 Slow. Traditional. Intentional.

⁉️Feeling brain fog, fatigue, bloating⁉️
👉🏼 maybe it’s your liver

I’ve been reflecting on the gut reset I have been doing and it had me thinking - how much love are you really giving your liver? Our liver is the body’s largest essential life sustaining organ that performs over 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ essential functions! It cares for us around the clock, maybe it’s time to pour back into YOU by supporting yourself from the inside out. 💖

🌿 The Rooted Renewal Liver Tonic formula combines herbs foraged from our homestead: turkey tail mushroom, burdock root, and dandelion root tinctures—herbs traditionally used to support liver function and healthy detoxification.

🍄‍🟫 Turkey tail is valued for its role in supporting immune and gut health, which are closely connected to liver balance.

🍃 Burdock root helps support the liver’s natural filtration processes.

🌼 Dandelion root is commonly used to promote bile flow and aid digestion.

✨ Earthy, grounding, and restorative, this tonic is designed to nourish the body from the inside out and support overall vitality.

➡️ shake gently, and take 1 dropperful daily- a hug on a bottle. Your liver will thank you! Be well! 💖
