Elecampane (Inula helenium)
This powerful plant's thick, fibrous root is known for its medicinal purpose - to "get to the root" of deep-seated illnesses. This led to its traditional use as an expectorant, helping to clear chronic respiratory congestion from deep within the chest.
Beyond medicine, the root holds spiritual significance. It is used in Temazcal ceremonies, where pieces of the root are placed on the hot stones. The steam releases its potent aroma, believed to create a spiritual connection to ancestors.

Finally everyone’s favorite Lemon Balm hydrosols is ready for sale!

You know about essential oils, but have you heard of hydrosols? These aromatic waters are created during the essential oil distillation process, but they're less concentrated and incredibly versatile. Because they're light and easily absorbed, they're packed with therapeutic water-soluble plant compounds, making them amazing for your skin!
🌿
Why You'll Love Hydrosols
Hydrosols make fantastic facial and body toner sprays, but that's just the beginning. You can add them to lotions, shampoos, and other skincare products, or use them as refreshing linen and aromatherapy sprays.
🌿
Favorite Ways to Use Hydrosols

* Baths: Add a cup to a foot, hand, or soaking tub for extra hydration, especially in winter.
* Post-Shower Spray: Mist your body after showering – choose a relaxing one for evenings and an invigorating one for mornings.
* Nasal Application: A teaspoon in a neti pot or steam inhaler can provide relief.

Friends,
Did you know about the incredible healing power of spring greens like chickweed, comfrey, and sage?
I'm crafting a potent infused oil, capturing the magic of these wonderful herbs.

Chickweed is amazing for soothing itchy, irritated skin and reducing inflammation.
Comfrey, often called "knitbone," is fantastic for promoting skin regeneration and healing minor scrapes and bruises (great for bumps and aches!). And sage adds its own protective, balancing touch and amazing for the aging skin.

These powerful plant allies are being slow-infused in nourishing grapeseed and jojoba oils, known for their ability to deeply support and moisturize your skin.

Keep an eye out! I'll have 4-8 oz bottles available in about two weeks.
Let me know if you wantt one for yourself

Sweet sweet violets! Gather them while they still in bloom 🌱

And here just few signatures or hints from the nature, guiding us how we can work with this medicine:

🌿Heart-shaped leaves: this "signature" siggesting an affinity for the heart, both physicall and emotional. Traditionally, violets have been used to "comfort and strengthen the heart" and were sometimes prescribed for emotional upset, grief, and heartache.

🌿 Purple/blue color - relate to their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. In traditional herbalism, violets are often used for conditions involving inflammation and irritation, such as sore throats and skin issues. The cooling nature of these colors could also align with the violet's moistening and cooling energetics.

🌿 Delicate and Low-Growing: The small, delicate nature of the plant and its tendency to grow close to the ground suggesting a gentle action, suitable for delicate constitutions, including children. Indeed, violets are often considered safe and effective remedies for children's ailments, particularly coughs and skin irritations.

🌿 Moist Habitats: Violets often thrive in moist, shady environments. This interpreted as a "signature" for their ability to moisten and soothe dry conditions within the body, such as dry coughs, dry skin, and constipation.

🌿 Early Spring Blooming: Violets are often one of the first flowers to appear in spring, after the harshness of winter. This early emergence could symbolize their ability to help the body transition and clear away winter stagnation, aligning with their traditional use as a blood cleanser and lymphatic stimulant.
🌿
And a few more facts for you to know:

Violets contain salicylic acid, a natural compound similar to aspirin, which can help alleviate pain, headaches, and body aches.

Violet leaves and flowers are edible and contain vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like calcium and magnesium, making them a nutritious addition to the diet.
