Artist’s Conk (Ganoderma applanatum) 🍄

Artist’s conk is a common bracket fungus found on hardwoods, growing directly from trunks or fallen logs. It forms large, shelf-like caps that are tough, woody, and slow-growing. As a perennial fungus, the same fruiting body can remain in place year after year, continuing to grow over time—sometimes for decades. Older specimens can become impressively large.

One of the easiest ways to recognize artist’s conk is the bright white pore surface on the underside. When scratched or pressed, this surface darkens to brown almost immediately. That reactive layer gives the fungus its name and is a helpful feature for distinguishing it from other shelf fungi in the forest. Designs scratched into the pore surface darken permanently as the tissue oxidizes, allowing it to be used as a natural drawing surface—no ink required.

Artist’s conk belongs to the Ganoderma genus, a group with a long history of use in traditional herbal systems and one that also includes the well-known reishi mushroom. It is far too woody to eat fresh and has historically been prepared as a long-decocted tea or extract. Like other Ganoderma species, it has been used and studied as a tonic, immune-supportive fungus.

Once you know what to look for, you may start noticing artist’s conk growing on stumps and standing trees during forest strolls—even winter ones—and perhaps feel inspired to bring one home and experiment with its natural drawing surface.

🌿 Herb of the Week: Devil’s Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens)

Devil’s claw is a traditional herbal ally best known for supporting joint comfort, mobility, and mild pain relief. Native to southern Africa, this root has a long history of use for aches, stiff joints, and general physical discomfort. It’s most often worked with as part of a longer-term approach to easing inflammation and supporting movement, rather than as a quick fix.

Devil’s claw is commonly used when physical wear-and-tear or lingering joint discomfort begins to interfere with everyday movement. Its value lies in steady, consistent use, supporting comfort and mobility over time rather than masking sensation. Alongside its traditional use, devil’s claw has also been the subject of clinical research, with studies examining its supportive role in joint discomfort, including arthritis and other rheumatic conditions.

Beyond joint support, devil’s claw is also traditionally valued as a bitter herb. Bitter roots like this have long been used to gently support digestion and aspects of liver function, highlighting the way many herbs work across multiple systems rather than in isolation.

A deeply restorative fruit with a long history of traditional use in holistic wellness.

🌿 A Healthy Heart for Valentine’s Day ❤️

In herbalism, heart health isn’t just about cardiovascular health on a physical level. Herbs can offer meaningful support for heart tissue, circulation, and blood pressure, but holistic heart care also includes how we respond to stress, how we process emotion, and how we nurture self-love.

HEART TONICS (LONG-TERM SUPPORT)
• Hawthorn – a classic heart tonic used to support heart muscle strength, coronary circulation, and long-term cardiovascular health.
• Arjuna – an important Ayurvedic heart tonic used to support cardiac muscle tone, circulation, and heart resilience.

BLOOD PRESSURE SUPPORT
• Hibiscus – commonly used to support healthy blood pressure and known for its bright and refreshing flavor.
• Motherwort – traditionally used when stress or emotional tension affects the heart, including palpitations and stress-related blood pressure changes.

STRESS & NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT
• Linden – gently calming to the nervous system and supportive when stress affects the cardiovascular system.
• Cacao – supports circulation and mood and provides mineral support for cardiovascular health and overall well-being.

EMOTIONAL & SPIRITUAL HEART SUPPORT
• Rose – a long-used ally for emotional heart health, promoting tenderness, self-love, and emotional openness.
• Mimosa – traditionally used to support the heart through sadness and emotional heaviness, with gently uplifting qualities.

As with most herbal work, these categories naturally overlap. Many heart herbs support more than one system — for example, both linden and motherwort work on the cardiovascular and nervous systems, helping address stress, anxiety, and related blood pressure patterns.

Heart health looks different for everyone. Supporting it can be both practical and deeply personal.

🌿 Herb of the Week: Damiana (Turnera diffusa)

Damiana is best known as an herbal aphrodisiac, but that reputation only tells part of the story. At its core, damiana is a tonic herb for stress, low energy, and nervous depletion—especially when those states begin to affect mood, motivation, and libido.

Traditionally used to support both the nervous system and reproductive system, damiana has a gently uplifting quality. It helps ease nervous tension, supports positive mood, and can restore a sense of vitality when stress or fatigue have dulled drive and enthusiasm. Its effects are often described as both stimulating and calming—an uncommon but valuable combination.

Beyond its more well-known uses, damiana also supports digestion and metabolism. As a mild bitter, it can encourage digestive function, while its gentle laxative and diuretic actions make it a useful supporting herb for overall metabolic balance, including blood sugar support.

Because of this wide-ranging yet balanced action, damiana shows up frequently as a supporting herb in botanical formulas, particularly those aimed at reproductive health, nervous system resilience, and restoring energy after burnout.

A classic ally when stress, fatigue, and low vitality overlap.

Winter is a great time to work with oxymels.

An oxymel is a traditional herbal preparation made with vinegar and honey infused with herbs. It’s a simple, long-used form of medicine that’s especially practical during the winter months.

Vinegar plays a key role in this preparation. Its acetic acid helps extract minerals and other water-soluble constituents from plants, making it a solvent that’s distinct from both water and alcohol. Vinegar also has a stimulating effect on digestion, which is one reason oxymels are often used during heavier eating seasons. Honey balances the acidity, contributes antimicrobial qualities, and makes the preparation easier to take regularly.

Oxymels are made by infusing herbs into vinegar and honey, then allowing the mixture to extract over time. Ratios vary, and many herbalists adjust them based on taste and intended use rather than strict formulas.

Garlic, thyme, ginger, rosemary, pine, and mineral-rich herbs like nettle all work well in oxymel form, especially in winter.

They’re commonly taken by the spoonful, diluted in warm water or tea, or incorporated into everyday routines.

Oxymels are practical, adaptable, and well suited to winter herbal work.

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), or holy basil, is an herb that affects nearly every system in the body. While it’s best known as a sacred plant in India and a cornerstone of Ayurveda, it’s also widely used in Western herbalism as a general tonic and adaptogen. 🌿

Its effects are often felt first in the nervous system, but tulsi is traditionally used to support the body more broadly—helping with stress resilience, mood, energy, immune function, and overall vitality.

Because of that wide-reaching adaptogenic nature, tulsi shows up again and again in our formulations. It’s one of the most commonly used herbs across our blends, including Stress-Free Digest, Calm & Conscious, Stomach Soother, and select seasonal recipes.
