I just want to take a moment of reflection. Of gratitude. This is a photo taken by my sweet friend Jamie while she was visiting from NY with her beautiful girls. It’s a photo of my “half empty because life is busy and I am only one woman and everything is blended to order” product shelf. Initially I was judging myself because I felt like I should have done “better” to prepare for a photoshoot. I mean, who wants a picture of a half empty shelf that probably needs to be dusted!?

But then I felt a wave of emotion… you see, the photo you see here behind my tinctures is priceless and I put it here to remind me of why I am here. My purpose, my heart, and my origins. This is my great grandmother and great grandfather. We just said goodbye to my great grandmother last October at 101 years old. She was the rock of our family in SO many ways. She was a significant part of my childhood and I have fond memories of spending time in her garden just being with the plants. She was the first example I had of seeing the divinity in the flowers, in the medicine. The reciprocity of being in relationship with plants and recognizing God in the patterns of the leaves.

We lost my great grandfather to su***de when I was very young. Maybe two? I have very few pictures with him but I do know that he was her soul’s reflection. Her heart never stopped loving him. Through the pain and demons that he fought on a daily basis. Constantly feeling not enough and as though he was a burden to her. And she survived. After his death, she lived for her family with a constant hole in her heart. She was strength embodied. She was the fire of the feminine, the matriarch, and the Queen. And that’s why this picture sits on my shelf. One because I want to be reminded of her every time I have my hands in plants and flowers… but also because she taught me love, grace, strength, resilience, and to feel God in every moment.

I love you Grandma… and Grandpa. Thank you for the blessings and the lessons you imprinted on my heart. I feel you in my prayers and in my celebrations. Thank you for everything. And enjoy those peonies I know you’ve planted up there 🫶

Sweet Chamomile… Matricaria Recutita… oh so gentle and fantastically potent.

I just opened this box from and I’m immediately transported to the fields of Chamomile flowers… if you’ve never experienced her fresh, she gives off the most magical fragrance of green apple, caramel, and sugar notes.

Chamomile is both a nervine and carminitive which makes her perfect to support tension coupled with an upset stomach. She also supports the inner child and symptom patterns that feel “childish”… and emotions fueled by the gut… stubbornness, impulsiveness, a battle of the wills. The child who defies bedtime with irrational outbursts, power struggles, and arguments.

Also extremely supportive for humans who experience digestive disruptions during fight or flight, both children and adults.

You can find Chamomile in our Calm Down Child tincture as well as Fever Support and Stop That Belly Achin syrup kits (a neighborhood favorite for morning sickness 👌)

I tinctured 2lbs fresh and blenderized (thanks to SevenSong for my new fav word) to achieve a 1:1.5 ratio in 60% organic cane alcohol. The rest will be freeze dried for teas and syrups throughout the year.

Heart Tonic Infusion Recipe:

2 Parts Hawthorne Berry

This blend is astringent, and tonifying to the cardiovascular system. The Tulsi brings in some beautiful heart opening energy while the oats provide some vitamins and minerals to hydrate and nourish all around.

One of the many reasons I love working with fresh herbs is because I get to experience their life force in a whole different way. I get to feel, smell, taste… all the senses indulged. And quite often I am surprised by a specific element about the plant that just captivates me.

For flowering Mugwort, it was her mesmerizing scent… St Johns and her teeny perforated leaves (more on this one soon). And now Lobelia and the almost immediate facial flushing ☺️

It’s no secret I adore the potent medicine that Lobelia offers. As one of the most effective antispasmodics, amphoterics, and diffusives, Lobelia is included in several of my formulas that are enhanced by her profound intelligence. Where there is tension, she relaxes. Inactivity, she stimulates. And she has an incredibly unique magical action of escorting the other herbs in the formula to their respective areas where they will be most beneficial. This is a distinctly diffusive quality that also helps cool the body by bringing heat outwards to the skin (hence my flushing reaction 😊).

Diffusives remove blockages in the flow of the vital force and therefore drive a formula to the peripherals. Lobelia is unique in this arena as she is not stimulating or relaxing… she is *both* and intuitively applies seemingly contradictory actions depending on what is needed.

Additionally Lobelia is a well known ally for the respiratory system 🫁…most notably in cases of a tight, painful chest, shallow/difficulty on breathing, and a spastic, irritated cough (asthma-like conditions). Lobelia relaxes the smooth muscles, opening constricted airways.

And as one of the most valued spasmolytic relaxants, there is no better plant ally to reach for in cases of muscular skeletal tension, especially when characterized by torsion (twisting) such as muscles damaged through injury 🤕 or accidents.

Lobelia also has direct action on the Vagus Nerve.. she is the Great Stabilizer or Equalizer again due to her amphoteric qualities (intelligently relaxing AND stimulating). For those that need a control-alt-delete reboot on your nervous system… look for a formula that includes this fantastic plant 🧡🌿

A few weeks ago I received the most intoxicatingly fragrant Mugwort tops from Golden Hour Farms. I had intended on tincturing this plant, however, after just a few moments in her presence, I felt deeply that she wanted to be created into something else. Something magical, mystical, intriguing, and immersive. This vision blossomed into a rich, sweet nectar. A sparkling elixir from another dimension, where we are not bound to the constraints of the physical and the burdens of such nonsense as mortgage payments and time.

Dorothy Hall profiles the Mugwort person as being “highly intelligent with complex thoughts that are difficult to describe, speech disorders and dyslexia, highly elevated senses, sensitivity to light and sound, with great difficulty getting deep sleep. It is suited to people in whom the intuitive, psychic, psychological, creative, and artistic side of the mind is highly developed, but who have trouble with expression, or with the world around them.”

As such, this elixir is was created for the deeply curious who wish to have a soul walk through the depths of their dream space. To the chasms of the feminine spirit. Mugwort offers a restorative effect to the female nature that has been injured. On the palette, Dream Walker is sweet and floral. Enjoy straight from the spoon or mix into a bit of your favorite sparkling water for a little bedtime mocktail.

We suggest you use this elixir daily for 7-14 days at a time. Keep a dream journal nearby and be ready to open your heart and mind to witnessing, feeling, and moving through the things unseen and buried beneath the layers of your consciousness.

***Please refrigerate upon arrival to maximize shelf life and use within 6 months***
