Moringa has been valued in many cultures for its nourishing properties and its role in supporting overall balance.
Rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, it has traditionally been used as part of long-term care rather than quick fixes.
Sharing information about plants like this is about honoring their history and understanding how nourishment can be built slowly over time 🌿

My herbalism doesn’t start with fixing what’s broken. It starts with listening.
Listening to the body’s signals, to the rhythm of breath, to what’s being held beneath the surface. This listening extends to everything I work with—herbs, essential oils, fragrances, plant matter—each chosen for how it feels, how it scents, how it shifts energy.
Every tea, every mist, every candle, every ritual blend at Eldertree Blends is created through this lens. Small-scale, intentional, person-to-person. Not capitalistic, not aggressive. The work finds me through relationships—wholesalers, vendors, retreat partnerships, community. Because when you listen to what people need and create from that place, the right people find their way to you 🍂

Eldertree Blends was born from lived experience, not trends.
From lineage that values relationship with land, from grief that reshaped priorities, from love that demanded gentler ways of living, and from deep listening to what plants and bodies were asking for.
We are an extension of those moments, created to honor care, community, and remembrance rather than urgency.

Many herbs have been used traditionally for generations because of the ways they support the body over time.
Tulsi is one of those plants, known historically for its role in everyday wellness—supporting calm, easing tension, encouraging balance, and helping the nervous system find its center.
Sharing herbal knowledge isn’t about promising outcomes, it’s about remembering how plants have long been woven into daily care and relationship. This is the foundation of everything we create at ElderTree Blends 🌱

Tea as intention. Mist as reset. Candle as ritual. Incense as anchor. Soaks as nourishment. Curios as medicine.

These blends are made by our own hands, one by one, with herbs chosen for how they support the body and how they feel — warm, grounding, calming, clarifying. Never just for the sake of selling something.

That part matters deeply to me, and it’s something we’ve been building with real care behind the scenes. How something is made matters. The pace, the intention, the relationship with the plants — we believe all of that can be felt.

We’ve been slowly shaping what’s coming next, and we’re excited to share it share it over the coming weeks. If you’re drawn to things made with intention, patience, and real care, you’re exactly who we made this for. 🌿

These blends are created the way support has always been offered. Slowly. Intentionally.
I’m particular about what goes into every formulation. Sometimes that means sourcing locally—building relationships with growers I trust and relying on their expertise. Sometimes it means traveling to Jamaica or Yucatán to source directly: cerasee, soursop leaf, fever grass, strongback, lemongrass, oregano brujo, mint, hibiscus. I trust the expertise of the indigenous communities who know these plants intimately.
Then I bring everything home and blend with intention, repetition, and care. My son tastes every tea. We test every formula in real life, in real overwhelm, because the body doesn’t lie.
Whether it becomes a tea, a mist, a candle, incense, or a ritual soak—the process is the same. Slowness allows intention to settle into every step. And when plants are treated with presence, they respond differently.

This work exists because healing was never meant to be rushed.

I’ve traveled to Jamaica and Yucatán to sit with these plants, to understand where they grow, how they’re harvested, what they’re capable of. I’ve stood in cenotes and felt the earth’s patience. I’ve walked through gardens and learned from growers who’ve tended these herbs for generations.
That’s where Eldertree Blends begins—not in a rush to create, but in the willingness to slow down and listen.
Whether it’s a tea, a sacred mist, a candle, incense, or a ritual blend, everything here carries that same intention. Healing doesn’t respond to urgency. Bodies don’t soften when they’re pushed. Plants don’t offer their full support when they’re rushed.

This is for those learning that slowing down isn’t falling behind. It’s returning to a pace the body can recognize.

Made this herbal simple syrup with jamaica, nettle, oatstraw, and soursop. The herbs were allowed to steep long and slow, no rushing. After allowing it to settle ~ I poured over ice and sparkling water as a little send-off treat for retreat goers and vendors before everyone headed home.

I have always loved making herbal simple syrups (anything herbal really) and playing with different drinks from that base sparks something deep. My son and I also enjoy making various herbal syrups as our own thing. However, when I chose to share this impulsively crafted blend in retreat - I had no idea it would be such a hit. People kept coming back for more. Turns out it wasn’t just for me and my son - it was communal. Received with joy and deeply grounding and nourishing.

Want me to share the recipe?

🍯 Yucatán Moments That Stayed with Me

This past November during Rest, Restore, Revive retreat, we had the opportunity to visit a meliponario — a stingless bee farm where the bees are tiny, gentle (much to my son’s relief), and tended in a way that feels more like partnership than farming. Their honey carries this deep, almost herbal sweetness.

They let us taste it straight from the hive. A single drop on the back of my hand. Warm. Bright. And you immediately understand why it’s used for healing.

This retreat gave me room to rest, make new connections, and learn things I didn’t realize I needed. Moments like this keep shaping where ETB is headed — more hands-on, more rooted in real practice, more connected to the cultures and land that have been teaching me along the way.

I’m bringing all of it back into the work my son and I are building, and into every creative step forward.
Slow steps. Authentic experiences. And a whole lot of curiosity.

The day after a big meal hits different. 🤣

If you’re feeling the aftermath of all that food (and stuffing, and pie………..and more stuffing), these four herbs can be your ally to recovery.

**Fennel** – Eases bloating and gas. Fennel is a carminative, meaning it helps move gas through your digestive system instead of letting it sit. Your stomach will thank you. 🥴

**Peppermint** – Soothes cramping and aids digestion. Its cooling energy relaxes the muscles in your digestive tract, easing tension and discomfort. Brew it hot or cold with a touch of sweetness via honey. 🍯

**Chamomile** – Calms the nervous system and settles digestion. When your body is in stress mode from processing a heavy meal, chamomile gently brings you back to center. It’s soothing to both your gut and your mind. Careful not to steep too long - it turns bitter. 😉

**Cerasee** – The bitter herb that supports liver and digestion. Bitters stimulate digestive juices and help your liver process everything you’ve eaten. This one’s for the real reset. A little goes a long way. Add nothing - you need the bitter taste - take it like a shot if need be 🤪

Happy post gorge recovery!! 😘

It’s been a busy year of journeying for my son and I. So many things experienced together that deepened our relationship with each other and with how we integrate this into our business. Swipe for a few small visuals.
