🍯LOVE HONEY
[a deeper look]

Aphrodisiac Electuary [honey combined with powdered herbs] made with Cinnamon, Rose, Damiana, CA Poppy, & Ashwagandha

🎥Behind the Scenes:
When creating an herbal formula, I look at & feel into the dance & gifts of each plant first & then how they move together in synergy. It is an artistic balance of experimentation combined with getting to know each plant on an individual basis overtime (lifetimes usually). A formula will usually jump out at me once I have an intention of where I am looking to go, what I am looking to balance. I aim my arrow & the plants come in. My work is truly trusting & feeding the relationship I have with these herbs & listening when they show up. I am just the vehicle through which these herbs & formulas connect to you!

🌱Herbal Spotlight:
🔥Cinnamon: circulatory stimulant, warms the whole body, moves stagnant blood & energy

🌹Rose: softens the heart, brings body into a state of peace & love, encourages loving energy towards yourself & others

🚀Damiana: builds libido, warming & stimulating

❤️‍🔥CA Poppy: dreamy relaxation, moves energy out of the head & into the body

🪢Ashwagandha: Rasayana (tones & restores all tissues in the body), warming, has an affinity for nourishing the reproductive system especially, grounding & toning to the nervous system & adrenals, builds vitality in the body & resourced energy

💃🏻🕺🏻The Dance:
Cinnamon is the main energy in this formula or Chief herb. He has the most presence & warmth that leads the other plants. Rose works so well with cinnamon, as the cinnamon balances Rose’s cooling nature. Rose lightens the mood & uplifts energetically. We move into Damiana, CA Poppy & Ashwagandha, all at equal parts, to create embodiment & relaxation amongst the warming, uplifting energy.

👉🏾When individual herbs mix together in a formula the result is a totally new being.

Love Honey can be purchased individually or in our new Lovers Gift Box

I’m writing to you at 30 weeks pregnant, the sun beaming through my apothecary window & a warm mug filled with herbal tea.

As I move through this limbo space, between Maiden & Mother, I have been leaning on herbal infusions to support the physical, emotional & spiritual changes through this pregnancy.

Herbs are supportive through all phases in life, especially pregnancy. Our pregnancy tea, “With Child” is a special blend of nettles, red raspberry leaf, chamomile, & lemon balm.

✨Healing Benefits:
Nettles: iron & mineral rich, prevents anemia, nourishes the blood as the blood volume doubles during pregnancy
Red Raspberry Leaf: strengthens & tones the muscles of the uterus, uterine tonic, especially helpful during the 3rd trimester as you prepare for birth
Chamomile: calming, alleviates gas, indigestion & improves overall digestion
Lemon Balm: soothes the nervous system, relieves anxiety & tension

Drink 1-3 cups daily throughout pregnancy.

[Maternity Leave Update]
I will send more information about the exact timing of this sacred pause soon!

🫖In Ayurveda, an emphasis is placed on attaining balanced digestion. In the body, this means breaking down and assimilating food without having gas, acid reflux, nausea, bloating, discomfort, etc.

🌬️The Vata Digest tea is for the person prone to constipation, gas, bloating & anxious digestion. This blend helps balance the elements of Air + Ether within your digestive system, ignite your digestive fire, and ground your nervous system. Fall also happens to be Vata season, when the Air + Ether elements in our environment are in excess, making us all more prone to being a bit dry, gassy, & dysregulated.

🌱This super yummy blend consists of Ginger Root, Cinnamon & Nutmeg.
Ginger: increases digestive fire & digestive enzymes
Cinnamon: regulates blood sugar, increases appetite, warms & builds the blood
Nutmeg: Calms the nervous system & increases appetite

💧Tastes: Warming & delightful flavor that compliments a cozy Fall day.

🍽️Drink before eating and/or after meals.

*NEW*
🪻Spring Tea Set!🪻
Enjoy 3 seasonally curated tea blends to support you through the spring season!

The spring is all about cleansing, according to Ayurveda. The elements of Earth & Water, Kapha dosha, are in accumulation this time of year, which asks us to keep the body warm, detoxify, and get your body moving. This time of the year is the BEST time to do a Kitchari cleanse as well as rigorous exercise. Not only are there specific foods & routines to lean on during the spring, there are many herbs that are also important to support the body in the transition from the winter to the summer. As we know, Mother Nature knows best, & she will show you which plants are important to work with if you observe which plants are growing all around you this time of year!

Spring Tea Set Includes:
🌱For the Bees: 1 oz. tin. Allergy relief tea blend. Nettle is a chief herb in this blend, helping to remineralize the body after winter. Also, jam packed with calcium, iron, and many vitamins. The anti-histamines, goldenrod & nettle, bring much relief to those with allergies. Turmeric helps relieve inflammation while rosehips bring support to the immune system.

💦Cleanse: 1.5 oz. tin. Detox tea. The combination of calendula, burdock root, dandelion root, orange peel & ginger help cleanse the liver & lymph and release toxins from the body. This herbal formula helps clear brain fog, excess water/weight, fatigue, and sugar cravings.

🔥Kapha Digest: 2 oz. tin. Strong digestive tea in powdered form. Best when taken before meals. Let the power of ginger, clove, and black pepper support and clear away any ama (toxins) in the digestive system. If your digestion has been sluggish after a winter of hibernating & eating lots of heavy foods, this blend will help rebuild your digestion strength.

When we put our hands in the soil, it reminds us of a different rhythm. One that is connected to the sun, the seasons & the plants. When we put our hands in the soil, we remember that life is happening all around us all the time, we just need to open our eyes again.
When we put our hands in the soil, we remember observing, being with & tending plants is one of the greatest gifts we have in our time on earth.

Happy Spring 🌼

To live with the cycles of nature is to live a life of observation, curiousity, wonder & awe. Each season woven with a different energy, lesson & wisdom. Spring is here! Our internal pilot lights are re-lit & the flames of our dreams begin to dance. A season of hope, inspiration & reawakening. The rumblings of life above the soil excites & activates! Be immersed in spring! Plant a seed, listen to the birds, & feel the medicine of the warm sun against your skin ♥️

Each season brings with it a wise theme, a lesson for us to re-learn. Winter is dark and slow. We have cold, dry air and storms that make leaving our homes undesirable. We stay inside and roast root vegetables and make yummy, warm soups. This season is where our energy roots back down into ourselves. In contrast where summer energy is externally, extending outward. The winter calls for rest, contemplation, a time for composting what is not anymore and making space for what will be.

These are all actions a very “go, go, go” society has trouble sitting with and engaging in for practical and logistical reasons. Most of us never had the feeling and embodiment of winter modeled to us. If you grew up in a conventional school system, routines and school work didn’t change during the seasons. Most employers don’t acknowledge this as a time where productivity should slow. Our culture definitely does not live with the cyclical nature of the changing seasons.

I find aligning with the seasons to be challenging for all above reasons and really have to dig deep into why I would want to shift my routines in tune with the current season. The season that feels on a surface level boring, mundane, and too quiet for comfort. I begin to remember as I practice the slowness each day. As if each one of my cells feels some ancient knowing that this quiet is where I find myself again. This rest is where I nourish myself for the seasons to come. In the stillness, I make space for creativity and ideas for the coming year. In the cozy nights curled up with a good book, I remember being is enough.

I wish for you a real internal winter. A winter to tap into this deeper knowing. This deeper understanding that the seasonal cycles are meant to be woven into our lives. That we become more connected and thus more human the more we feel them.
