More Green Healing Salve ready today. Mmmmm, I love the aroma, the blending of herbs and beeswax. It’s a process to get here. Time to carefully infuse the herb into the proper oil correctly, time to prepare the bees wax and slowly melt the two together so they don’t overheat and loose their power. It’s a ritual, one I love, one I was taught so I could bring the power of herbs to people around me.

Harvesting my herb garden stand of Skullcap. Making tincture, one of my most popular tinctures. An amazing nerving, my “go to” for anxiety, a herb I add to many nerving blends for emotional and nervous system support.

Morning garden harvest of Calendula, 3 kinds of peppers, cucumber, and 2 kinds of basil. The front garden is characterized as a veggie garden, but also has some medicinal herbs. All is essential for good health! Good food is medicine! Tell me what good food/medicine you are harvesting today.

Love-In-A-Mist, not just a pretty flower. A fascinating metamorphic process from flower to seed pod. The pod is filled with hundreds of tiny seeds looking like poppy seeds which can be used in the same manner as poppy seeds in your baking and cooking.
