Dandelion oil is commonly used to support sore muscles, dry, chapped skin and for lymph massage.
To make an oil you will need to harvest the flower heads from an area free of pesticides.

1. Gather the flower heads and place them on a tray to allow them to wilt for a few hours or more.
2. Lightly fill a mason jar with the wilted flower heads allowing a small amount of headspace (or a fairy bed) at the top.
3. Fill jar with quality organic oil - I used olive oil.
4. Place a paper towel over the top and add just the metal ring of the lid - because we are using fresh flowers we need to allow any moisture to evaporate.
5. Place the oil out of direct sunlight for 4-6 weeks.
6. Strain out the oil by pouring through a fine mesh strainer.
7. Place the oil in a new clean container, add a label and enjoy.

I love the shape of Lady’s Mantle’s leaves. It is reminiscent of a cloak - she offers protection and nourishment especially for women and their cycles.

Last night I taught about making herbal infused oils and herbal salves at Hudson Gardens. These are some of my favorite ways to create with herbs.

Are you dreaming about learning more about herbs? Do you want to know how to use herbs consistently and in ways to support your health?

The next round of Essential Herbalism and Medicine Circles is beginning in June. Details can be found in my bio.

I have been reading You Should Leave Now by Brie Doyle (thanks for the recommendation Kristen Abbott | Artist )

This line stood out to me:

“You must retreat to remind yourself of your own truth and inner fire.”
— Brie Doyle

That word retreat can feel big.

But I’m beginning to think of it more simply as a return to yourself.

What does that feel like for you right now?

I was asked recently what I did to restore myself during the years when my children were young.

If you don’t know me - I had three boys in three years, out daughter three years later and our youngest son five years after that.

My first answer was: I pushed through.

But as I sat with it longer, I remembered something else.

There were moments—small pockets of time—when I stepped away. A few hours. Sometimes a full day. And I would immerse myself in something creative.

For me, it was making Creative Memories albums. (Who else had this as a creative outlet?)

And in that space, I could dream again. I could feel my creative spark return.

What is something that helps you feel like yourself again?

Earlier this week my mentorship group was talking about recovery—what we do when we are depleted.

We found ourselves reflecting on times of high energy and productivity and how closely they mirror seasons of pregnancy, birthing, and mothering.

At our Women’s Wheel of Life gathering, we spoke about this too—how the wheel is not linear, but cyclical. That we move between these phases again and again throughout our lives.

This resonated with me because alongside this feeling of emergence… I’m also noticing the places that feel tired.

Growth and depletion. Energy and the need for rest.

Where are you feeling this in your own life right now?

I came home from Mexico to a garden that is emerging.

Each day I find myself wandering outside, greeting my plant friends as they rise after this long, dry winter. There is something so grounding in witnessing their quiet endurance.

This season always reminds me that growth doesn’t happen all at once. It unfolds in its own timing.
And I’m noticing that same feeling in myself right now. Ideas are coming together. Something is emerging.

What is beginning to emerge for you in this season?

This is Lady’s Mantle emerging in my garden. We turned our sprinklers on last night and the leaves are holding on to that bit of moisture this morning.
Drinking Lady’s Mantle tea can help ease inflammation and she is known for being an overall reproductive tonic.
