Thank you for visiting our Facebook, my name is Tori & it is such an honor to have you here.

🍎 Our nervous system is the quiet weaver beneath our moods, thoughts, and emotional resilience.

When the nerves are supported, the mind softens, the heart steadies, and the body remembers how to rest.

🌱 Nervines are herbs that gently nourish and soothe the nervous system rather than forcing a response.

They work over time, helping to restore balance after stress, emotional overwhelm, or long periods of depletion.

Some beloved plant allies for mood balance include:

🌿 Lemon balm – uplifting, calming, and heart-soothing
🌿 Milky oat tops – deeply nourishing to frayed nerves and emotional exhaustion
🌿 Tulsi (holy basil) – supports stress resilience and emotional clarity
🌿 Passionflower – helps quiet racing thoughts and tension
🌿 Skullcap – grounding and restorative for an overtaxed mind

These herbs remind the nervous system that safety is possible again.
That regulation is a practice.
That peace is something we cultivate, not chase.

✨ Holiday Sale Reminder ✨

As we step into a new year, our wish for you is this:

May you honor yourself every step of the way.

May you wake up and ask the Great Mystery, “Show me how good it can get. Show me how easeful and beautiful life is allowed to feel.”

May you trust your inner guidance, follow what feels true, and continue walking a path of alignment, healing, growth, and self-evolution.

May you make the conscious effort to nourish your body well, and remember how important it is to take really good care of the vessel you’re in.

And along the way — please do yourself this favor:
Stop taking yourself so seriously.
Laugh at yourself.
Be silly.
Play more.
Make the most of the moment you’re in.

Healing doesn’t have to be heavy.
Growth doesn’t have to be joyless.
There is room for devotion and delight. 🫶🏼✨

Wishing you a happy holiday, a blessed New Year, and a body that feels more supported as you step into what’s next.

As the air turns colder and we move deeper into the quiet of winter, our lungs ask for a little extra care. 🌬️

In many herbal traditions, the lungs are connected to grief, immunity, and our ability to receive life fully through the breath.

🌿 Herbs that lovingly support lung wellness:

• Mullein – A classic ally for the respiratory system, mullein helps soothe and moisten dry, irritated tissues and supports gentle expectoration.

• Marshmallow Root – Rich in soothing mucilage, this herb coats and calms the lungs and throat, offering comfort during dryness or seasonal irritation.

• Eucalyptus – Cooling, clarifying, and aromatic, eucalyptus supports open airways, deeper breathing, and relief from congestion when the lungs feel heavy or tight.

• Licorice Root – Nourishing and harmonizing, licorice supports lung tissue, adrenal health, and overall vitality (use with care if you have blood pressure concerns).

• Thyme – A warming, aromatic herb that supports clear breathing and microbial balance during colder months.

✨ Supporting lung health isn’t just about breathing easier—it’s about creating space to release, to soften, and to receive nourishment with every inhale.

🌿 Stress, the Nervous System & Adaptogenic Allies 🌿

The holiday season is often painted as joyful and magical — yet for many, it’s also one of the most stressful times of the year.

Long to-do lists, emotional gatherings, financial pressure, disrupted routines…

all of this can place a heavy load on the nervous and endocrine systems.

When stress becomes chronic, our bodies shift into survival mode, affecting hormones, sleep, digestion, mood, and immune resilience.

This is where adaptogenic plants truly shine.

Adaptogens are a unique class of herbs that help the body adapt to stress by supporting balance rather than forcing stimulation or sedation.

They work gently with the endocrine system — especially the adrenals — helping to restore equilibrium over time.

Some beloved adaptogenic allies include:

🌱 Ashwagandha — grounding, calming, supportive for adrenal fatigue
🌱 Holy Basil (Tulsi) — heart-soothing, uplifting, and regulating
🌱 Rhodiola — supportive during mental and emotional exhaustion
🌱 Schisandra — nourishing to the nervous system and liver
🌱 Reishi — deeply restorative and immune-supportive

Rather than masking stress, these plants help teach the body how to respond more resiliently — inviting steadiness, clarity, and endurance back into the system.

This season, let your self-care be intentional.
Let rest be medicinal.
Let the plants support you where you need it most.

✨ Holiday Sale Now Live ✨

Use code SHOPSMALL at checkout to receive 25% off your entire order — our way of supporting you while you support small, heart-led businesses during the holidays.

May your days be softer, your nights more restful, and your body held in gentle balance. 🌿

As the seasons turn and the air grows colder, our bodies ask for deeper care.

This is one of those medicines I keep close —
for myself, for my family, for every home that wants support without compromise.

✨ Breathe Easy Salve ✨
A true herbal ally for the lungs, chest, and sinuses.

Crafted slowly and intentionally with organic ginger, eucalyptus, comfrey, mullein, and peppermint infused olive oil, blended with beeswax, coconut oil, and a carefully curated synergy of essential oils —

Peppermint, eucalyptus, ravintsara, ravensara, cardamom, rosemary, cedarwood, cypress, juniper berry, and more.

This salve was created to:
• Help clear chest and head congestion
• Soothe spasmodic coughs
• Support the lungs in releasing phlegm
• Calm irritated airways
• Act as a true natural v***r rub — without petroleum, harsh chemicals, or ingredients the body cannot process

Your body is wise.
It knows how to heal when given the right support.

Breathe Easy can be applied to the chest or back, along the throat, under the nose, or on the bottoms of the feet — wherever your body is asking for relief.

It’s gentle enough for the whole family and powerful enough to actually do something.

This is medicine made with reverence —
for the plants,
for the body,
for the cycles we move through each year.

💫 Our Holiday Sale is live through January 1st 💫
If your home is restocking winter remedies, this is a beautiful time to stock up and save.

Hair & Nails as Messengers of Inner Balance 🌿

Hair thinning, brittle nails, slow growth, or splitting are often spoken of as “beauty concerns,” but in herbalism, they’re invitations to listen more deeply.

These tissues reflect mineral status, digestion, hormone balance, stress levels, and overall nourishment.

Common imbalances behind fragile hair and nails can include:

• Mineral depletion (especially silica, iron, and zinc)
• Poor absorption or weakened digestion
• Hormonal shifts or adrenal stress
• Chronic inflammation or depletion from over-giving

🌱 Herbs that support strength, growth, and resilience:

🌿 Nettle Leaf – A mineral-rich ally, abundant in silica, iron, and trace minerals that fortify hair strands and nail beds while supporting blood and tissue nourishment.

🌿 Oatstraw – Deeply nourishing to the nervous system, helping counter stress-related shedding and brittleness by restoring the body’s reserves over time.

🌿 Burdock Root – A gentle detoxifier that supports the liver and skin, helping clear stagnation that can show up as dull hair or weak nails.

🌿 Rosemary – Encourages circulation to the scalp and tissues, supporting vitality, growth, and overall follicle health.

Herbal care for hair and nails isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about replenishing what has been quietly depleted and restoring the body’s innate ability to grow strong, radiant tissue.

✨ When we nourish the roots, the crown responds.

One day it came to me... We are surrounded by plants, many of which we could use to help us enhance our health, nutritiously, naturally, and in a healthy, sustainable manner. This thought has manifested into Little Lotus Trading Co. Thank you for visiting our Facebook, my name is Tori and my partner’s name is Jay.
