Elderberry is one of the most grabbed items in here.

But I've noticed so many have improper expectations and then get frustrated when it didn't "work."

But in reality, it works best with consistent use, just like anything else!

This is what learning herbs really looks like 📚🌿
Not one book. Not one teacher.
A whole library of voices, traditions, and lived plant knowledge.

We believe herbalism is meant to be shared.

✨ BLACK SEED OIL — A LITTLE SEED WITH BIG ENERGY ✨

Used for centuries and finally getting the love it deserves 🖤🌱

Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) is known for supporting:
✔️ Immune health
✔️ Inflammation balance
✔️ Skin & scalp nourishment
✔️ Digestive comfort
✔️ Overall wellness from the inside out

Rich in antioxidants and healthy fatty acids, this oil is a staple for anyone wanting to support their body naturally — whether taken internally or used topically.

💡 Tip: It has a bold, peppery taste — try it with honey or mix into warm tea 🍯☕

As always, listen to your body and start slow.

🌿 HERB SPOTLIGHT: TULSI (Holy Basil)

Known as “The Queen of Herbs,” Tulsi has been used for centuries to support the body, mind, and spirit. This sacred plant is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress while gently supporting overall balance.

At Natural Life Apothecary, we love Tulsi for its versatility, daily-use safety, and grounding energy.

✨ WHY WE LOVE TULSI

• Supports stress & nervous system balance
• Promotes immune & respiratory health
• Encourages mental clarity & calm
• Gentle enough for daily tea rituals
• Supports whole-body wellness, naturally

🌱 MEET THE VARIETIES

💜 Krishna Tulsi
Spicy, peppery, deeply calming
Best for stress support, emotional balance, and grounding tea blends

💚 Rama Tulsi
Mild, slightly sweet, clove-like
Perfect for daily wellness teas and gentle immune support

🌾 Vana Tulsi
Earthy, lemony, wild-crafted energy
Great for lungs, seasonal support, and detox blends

🌿 Kapoor Tulsi
Camphor-like, strong, clearing
Excellent for sinus, respiratory steam, and topical blends
(Used sparingly due to potency)

☕ HOW TO USE

• Tea & tea blends
• Tinctures & glycerites
• Steam inhalations
• Oxymels & syrups
• Herbal incense & ritual use

Simple Tea:
1 Tbsp dried tulsi | 1–2 cups hot water | Steep 10–15 minutes, covered

🌿 APOTHECARY TIP

Blend multiple Tulsi varieties for a full-spectrum adaptogenic tea that supports stress, immunity, and respiratory health all in one cup.

Natural Life Apothecary carries all four varieties.
