Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) 🌸

Typically, most folks would think of stimulant expectorants for a really wet cough. But interestingly enough, Hyssop’s actions are drying when used long-term, but have a short-term moistening effect. Because of this it’s often supportive for a hoarse voice, dry cough or throat, and lung conditions where mucus has lost moisture, sticks to the respiratory tissues, and is difficult to cough out.🌿💜🫖

I generally reach for Hyssop when excess heat in the tissues has caused the mucus to “bake down,” causing it to cling to the respiratory tissues, making it super hard to cough up.

This special remedy offers relief for these kinds of coughs in two ways:

Its volatile oils pe*****te the mucus, break it up, making it easier to expel.

It increases secretions in the lungs through its bitter action, which helps moisten overly dry tissues. These fresh secretions introduce antibodies and immunological factors to the area, which ultimately helps your body fight infection.

And to top off Hyssop’s magic, it’s an excellent spasmolytic that relaxes tension in the bronchioles in asthmatic coughs, wheezing, and irritable spasmodic coughs.

Have you used Hyssop in this way? Let me know below👇🏼💜

Tarragon🌿 (Artemisia Dracunculus)

"Tarragon, (Artemisia dracunculus), also called estragon, bushy aromatic herb of the family Asteraceae, the dried leaves and flowering tops of which are used to add tang and piquancy to many culinary dishes, particularly fish, chicken, stews, sauces, omelets, cheeses, vegetables, tomatoes, and pickles. Tarragon is a common ingredient in seasoning blends, such as fines herbes. The fresh leaves are used in salads, and vinegar in which fresh tarragon has been steeped is a distinctive condiment." (Encyclopedia Britannica)

It's that time! Our Blackberries are getting ready to ripen, the Raspberries have been a wonderful summer treat! No Elderberries for us to harvest this year, maybe next... 😁🌿🌻

A sweet recipe from "Herbal Academy", thank you.

💙🌿 Small Batch Elderberry + Blueberry Jam

Delightfully sweet, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and more, this superfood mashup will be your new favorite spreadable, edible herbal treat!

ELDERBERRY + BLUEBERRY JAM

There are *many* ways to make jam! This recipe in particular uses a two-step approach, for which you can use fresh or dried elderberries. We will first create a strong elderberry syrup to use in our jam (dried elderberries are used in this recipe, which makes it possible to make any time of year).

🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙

PART 1: MAKE ELDERBERRY SYRUP

½ cup dried elderberries (Sambucus nigra or S. canadensis)
2 cups spring water
3 clove (Syzygium aromaticum) buds
1 cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) bark stick
1 cup raw honey

After the elderberry syrup is made, you’ll then make the jam. It’s an EASY process that doesn’t take long to make; just a few supplies, and you’ll be on your way to homemade jam.

PART 2: MAKE JAM

4 cups fresh blueberries
½ cup elderberry syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons chia seeds
½ cup raw honey

🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙

Beautiful 🌱

I like to think of spagyric medicine as a form of spiritual herbal pharmacy, meaning that it's a precise method of preparing medicine (pharmacy) that equally honors the spiritual aspect of plants and nature as a whole.

The process involves separating the Three Philosophical Principles of a plant (Sulfur, Mercury, and Salt)— or what we might think of as its esoteric chemistry— and recombining them to yield a newly purified and holistic medicine.

The beauty of spagyric medicine is that it concentrates the chemical, energetic, and spiritual virtues of a plant, which means you can use this single remedy for your physical, spiritual, and energetic well-being. In other words, spagyrics are a holistic medicine that addresses you as a whole person.

Spagyric medicine combines what is seen as separate parts of herbal medicine to create a single holistic herbal medicine that ultimately heals the entire person. I think this is especially important today in our modern world because people need healing on a level that goes much deeper than just a physical body.

To learn more about Alchemy and Spagyrics keep an eye out for a free workshop series I'm sharing this week.🌿🙌🏽🌿 Stay tuned, and join the waitlist at the link below:
