Big workshop announcement!! We’re so excited to be collaborating with Alyssa of @mondaynutrition who invited us to use her beautiful health food store as our venue for this Mother’s Day workshop! It’s such a cozy little shop located in the quaint village of Spencerville and I can’t think of a better way to spend Mother’s Day! 😊 To sign up visit https://www.mondaynutrition.com/events In honour of Mother’s Day coming up, I also want to do a shout out to the owner of Monday Nutrition, Alyssa, and my fellow herbal workshop partner in crime, Catherine, of @earthmedicineakimashkiki : All three of us are mothers which means we are all running small businesses while simultaneously keeping small humans alive, while working on ourselves, while providing healing and wellness services to others and also maintaining day jobs, or homeschooling or attending school ourselves. I don’t want to say hustle culture is the thing to aspire to, because we’ve all danced with burnout at different points on our journey, but I’m so proud of the incredible devotion all us are pouring into bringing our individual, and collective dreams, into this physical reality! You girls are amazing! Can’t wait to celebrate Mother’s Day with everyone attending this beautiful workshop as well, way to go mommas! #herbalist #mondaynutrition #salvemaking #herbalmedicine #naturalskincare #makeyourownskincare #spencerville #morhersday2024 #supportlocal #plantmedicine #ottawa #supportsmallbusinesses #naturalmedicine #makeyourownmedicine #plantlady #mothersdayottawa

HARVEST + HEALTH | Merry for marigolds! Marigold aka calendula is one of my favorite herbs! I love using it in topical products like lotions and salves. It’s soothing to the skin and aids in the healing of wounds. Internally it’s a great anti-inflammatory to the GI tract and also helps drain inflamed lymph nodes. Somehow this marigold plant I started from seed in the fall survived the winter and is thriving! The living flowers are bringing in lots of pollinators and the dead/dried flowers will be used as medicine. Thinking of using some for tea and the rest for an oil infusion (that I can make into a lotion later for baby’s bottom). 🌼🌼🌼 • • • • #backyardgarden #herbs #herbalmedicine #botanical #botanicalmedicine #makeyourownmedicine #growyourown #garden #gardening #flowers #calendula #marigolds #marigold

Shiitake mushrooms are like little health superheroes – and they make a great kitchen medicine sidekick this winter! Check out all the cool stuff they can do: 1. Strengthen your immune system: Shiitakes have special compounds called beta-glucans that help make your immune system stronger by deeply nourishing it. Shiitakes are an immunomodulating, not immune stimulant herb (see previous post) 2. Keep your heart happy These mushrooms are good for your heart and cardiovascular system. They’ve got something called eritadenine that helps your blood pressure stay steady and lowers cholesterol 3. Stand up to cancer Some parts in shiitakes, like lentinan, might help stop cancer tumours from growing. They’ve been used in adjunct cancer therapy in countries like China and Japan since the 1980s! 4. Digest well Shiitakes are a great support for digestive weakness that can show up as poor appetite or bloating. 5. Antioxidant power Like most herbs to be honest - shiitakes are rich in antioxidants which means they combat oxidative stress, reducing inflammation and supporting overall health. So, next time you're cooking up a storm, don't forget to toss some shiitake mushrooms in the mix. Not only do they taste great, but they're also working hard behind the scenes to keep you feeling awesome! Ps – totally keen but not sure where to start. Grab the DIY Immunity Kit ⬇ 🍄Comes with shiitake, 3 recipes that use shiitake and a bunch of other great immune herbs and recipes. Super easy, super practical – you’ll be winter’ing like a champ in no time. Head to bio for link, or DM and I’ll send it straight to you. #herbalmedicine #kitchenmedicine #foodasmedicine #plantmedicine #herbalremedies #shiitake #homeherbalism #homeherbalist #diymedicine #makeyourownmedicine #naturalhealth #noosa #sunshinecoast #sunshinecoasthealth #sunshinecoasthealthandfitness #sunshinecoasthealthy #sunshinecoasthealthandwellbeing #sunshinecoasthealthyliving #sunshinecoastholistichealth #sunshinecoastwomen #sunshinecoastworkshops
If something is growing in your yard other than grass, how do you react to it? We don’t spray any chemicals in our yard so the bees have a place they can get food and I have plants that I can make tinctures, oils and salves with. Putple Dead nettle is one of those plants. I have never worked with it before but I recently found out it has medicinal properties so I’m learning about it this year. It is anti-inflammatory, anti fungal and antibacterial. It can be used on cuts and wounds to stop the bleeding and has been used to alleviate joint pain. Because it has so much moisture, I needed to let them dry out a bit before covering them in olive oil. I will let that sit for 6 to 8 weeks then mix with some beeswax to make a salve.  I also made a small batch of tincture covering it with 100 proof vodka. I will say, this plant STINKS!! #herbalremedies #purpledeadnettle #makeyourownmedicine

Herbal medicine day 🌿 Well done to the brave souls who joined me in freezing wind and showers on Friday for my introduction to herbal medicine course at @kilchoancommunity.centre . Massive thanks to @lochaberenviro for funding and making this possible. We found many young spring edible and medicinal plants in the middle of the village and learned about their medicinal and food uses as well as some stories and folklore around the plants. After a delicious lunch provided by @puffincoffeeco we made various home remedies with some of plants that we gathered, including infused oils and vinegars. Another fantastic day in Ardnamurchan, despite the wintery weather. . . . . . #kilchoan #ardnamurchan #herbalmedicine #herbalmedicinemaking #foraging #guidedwalks #makeyourownmedicine #eatweeds #forager

Hello 👋 🌼 I've been busy foraging and creating lots of herbal creations for a Spring Box I'll be offering! I originally planned on making these medicines for myself after going through many months of illness and in need of some herbal support. But I decided to make enough to share since I know so many others could benefit from this potent herbal medicine! 🌿 This box will be geared toward overall cleansing, detoxification, and renewal. Let's help the liver filter out excess toxicity, move the lymph system, and help our body function more optimally. It's beneficial if you're dealing with chronic health issues, or if you just want to kick off spring with a more energetic pep in your step! 🌱🌿 I'll be sharing more details on each product soon, but check swipe left to see some photos of them in the making 💜 What's included: 🌱Lymph Love Body Butter 🌱Forsythia & Violet Facial Toner 🌱Violet Leaf & Flower Oxymel 🌱Patchouli Rose goat milk soap 🌱 Detox/Clean Herbal extract/tincture
Sun day Vibes: Sunshine Embodied ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Two of the first Plant kin I ever grew, Calendula & Chamomile. They've been calling lately, supporting inner child healing, authentic expression & gentle movement {lymphatic flow} which is vital in early Spring! ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Calendula for connecting to your inner Fire, Sun - confidence, action, stepping into your medicine from an aligned place. Warming & moving stagnation held in your body over the Winter. One of my favourite Plant friends for gentle lymphatic support & balancing an under active solar plexus 🦁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love them so much in foot baths 🌼 They've been one of my favourite rituals for moving stagnation & strengthening vitality. Supporting kidney meridian in TCM & fertility. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chamomile to remind us that life can include play!! Without play, without being present to the sun/elements/wind/tasting the sweetness of life, the heaviness may consume us {which, sometimes may also be needed}. Play is something I've been trying to remember & be open to 🌷 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chamomile may be worked with to soothe even the youngest babes to Elders. They are so well known but often folks overlook them. Their beautiful delicate flowers taste nothing like the stale Chamomile found in most "tea." ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Picking them is a meditation ritual in itself ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love that Chamomile has the bitter quality too - calling us back into our bodies. Attuning & easing our nervous system. Helping us to make decisions from a ‘gut knowing’ & soothe childhood traumas {w other support}. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ They are cooling & drying, so pair accordingly to balance if working with them longer term. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ We grow both of these Medicines in Grow Your Own Medicine - they make a lovely tea together or healing salve. I love opening the jar mid Winter & feeling the remembering of warmth on my skin + sticky fingers + beautiful scents while harvesting 🌼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sign up is open, Fam ~ join before April 7th to receive your Seed Bundles {p@yment plans available}!! All levels welcome, suitable for container gardening too {I started these two in pots while in Naturopathic med school} 🦋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ See B10 to join & learn more ~ remembering these connections & making healing remedies 🪴✨

🎵🎵"You belong among the wildflowers" 🎵🎵 . I'm loving all the beautiful wild blooms popping up all over our forest. A few I've seen are trillium, violet, forest phlox, trout lily, spring beauties, bluets, and wild geranium! Lots of pink and purple so far. What's your fav wildflower? 🌸🪻
Who else struggles with a little thing called *balance*? 😅🤣 This visual is such a helpful reminder that although we think we can, we just. cannot. do. everything. in. one. day. Baby steps. One bite at a time. Productivity paralysis is real and something I recently realized I struggle with. . Having so much to do (both life obligations + goals/plans/desires) can be overwhelming so you (usually unconsciously) self sabotage and end up doing little to nothing as a result. . I'm saving this visual to refer to when I feel overwhelmed and need a reminder to stop, breathe, and do one thing at a time 👌🙏 . .
Welcome to my Apothecary. It has been slowly taking over my kitchen. Bottle by bottle... #MakeYourOwnMedicine #GodsNature #Apothocary #HerbalMedicine
Creating some medicine today (by way of cookies and energy balls) for people with vulnerabilities and addictions in Peterborough. Cannabis can be used as a harm reduction when humans are dealing with all kinds of addictions: cigarettes, meat, sugar, and chemical drugs. I decarbed my dried flower before adding it to some extra virgin olive oil as well as some butter. Most of the time, you can still taste the cannabis because I'm no infusion expert by any means. It helps though, when our #ecs has #cannabinoids filling it up, we won't be as quick to look for the substance we are addicted to. So I'll do my best to make them as tastey as I can! 🫣😆 #cannabisismedicine #cannabisasharmreduction #makeyourownmedicine

Controversial conversation in this forum? Let's find out... Ivermectin is effective in treating Covid and cancer... FDA retracting from website disclaimers against it due to lawsuit. All the suffering because it was safe, cheap, and effective and would have prevented the need for anything untested to be used before long term studies. In truth, none are done anyway as no liability exists. Guess what? It's no longer cheap as a prescription. How is it that no matter the reason, money is being made off of the suffering of others. Guess it's a good thing you don't have to fear treating the turbo cancers with it now. Buy the horsey stuff while you can. Makes you wonder how difficult it will be to obtain once people catch on to truth in medicine. #holistichealth #idonotconsent #informedconsent #makeyourownmedicine
This morning we had our homeschool co-op. The children and I are tired when we get home, so it’s nice to have a fresh loaf of sourdough waiting and a raw milk cappuccino.😋 We also did our usual stop at @danandbeckysmarket for some much needed kitchen staples. I’m feeling blessed by our homeschool community, real-local food, and the ability to prepare from scratch to nourish my family.🌨️☀️ Remember to count your blessings! Grateful hearts don’t get depressed. What are you thankful for today?
That feeling when spring arrives and all the flowers start blooming 😍🌸 I've had a rough few months of illness and getting through the winter blues....but I'm so grateful to be feeling healthy and regaining energy and vitality! ✨️🙏 This year will be action packed with gardening, foraging, and medicine making- which means you'll be seeing alllll the plants/herbs/mushrooms, creations I'll be concocting, and of course plenty of new offerings available for purchase in my online shop 🍯🌼 I wanna hear from you- what kind of content do ya wanna see from me?

Big big thankyouuuu for all the recent prayers for my healing. I'm feeling much better every day and grateful for it! Thankyou for being there through it all 💓 Well, spring is here so let all the fun creations begin!!! Eeekk 😍😍 This is the first harvest of the year: forsythia blooms! 💛 I wanted to gather them before a cold snap we'll be havin tonight....supposed to drop to 20 degrees! 🥶 These pretty yellow flowers have a long historical use in traditional chinese medicine 🌼 They have been supportive for all sorts of respiratory issues, fever, infections, and for overall inflammation in the body. I plan to dry out these flowers and save them for tea, to make infused honey, or to simply decorate food and salads with!
Here is a quick How To on fermented garlic honey. I got a bag of garlic at the food bank and decided to make some medicine for my family. I have not made this very many times and I don’t claim to be an expert- so if you’re seeing this and you are an expert and you feel I have something more to learn, please teach me and help me help others! Because making videos whilst making sure my toddler doesn’t destroy the world is proving to be very difficult, I am going to just leave this right here for now. You’ll definitely get one later Step 1: get your stuff together. You need honey - don’t be fooled by my pic. You can use the honey in the squeeze bears. Everyone will say raw is better but we are all about low barrier, do what you can with what you’ve got. So just use any liquid honey. Garlic A jar. I use a quart mason jar. You will need a lid of some kind. I think I used a plastic lid to an old herbal powder jar that happened to fit. A spoon or knife. We are just going to bruise the cloves. A cutting mat or board. Or plate or not. You do you. I do recommend a clean surface. I just use my kitchen cutting boards when I’m making medicine for my household. A bowl to hold your garlic peels -optional and for extra credit Step 2: peel your garlic. Get rid of the root butts, but save the rest if you want to make garlic powder the how to for that is next on my list but I’m sure you can look it up as well. You want enough to fill your jar up about a third of the way or like a 3 finger pour of garlic cloves. Bit wait! Before you put the cloves into your jar, beat those suckers up. They need to be bruised. By this I mean press on them with a spoon or knife. Step 3: add your garlic to the jar the. Add your honey to cover the garlic. I leave the jar half empty for the fermentation gasses. Step 4: put a lid on it and put it away. Burp the lid and turn the jar making sure the cloves are covered with honey (they float) every 3 days or so. In about a month you’ll get the full benefits of the fermentation but it can hold on a cool dark place for many months maybe even a year or 2. #foodstamps #foodbanks #makeyourownmedicine #garlic #honey #fermentation

I don't want to be on "the list" waiting for years to have my first appointment. I don't want to have to deal with the secondary effects of medication that treats one part of me and harms another. I want to take back control and not be reliant on the "magic pill" that turns out not to be so magic after all. Don't get me wrong, western medicine is incredible in its place, however for me it is the very last option as prevention and natural medicine is always the first. But before we have to be in that position, or even, while we are waiting to be seen, we are surrounded by incredible health giving plants that are seeking to heal, nourish and revive us for free and right now! We can make simple, yet potent tonics, tinctures and ointments that support our bodies, minds and spirits holistically, not sacrificing one organ for another. In growing our connection to nature, plants, the seasons and our very own inner wildness we are healing our souls and creating deep purpose and meaning. Something that feels like it is slipping away in these times is actually right in front of our noses. 🌿✨ This is what I bring to you in my Wild Spring Herbal Remedy Course. This is more than making remedies. This is a deep knowing, a wisdom forgotten and a soul connected. I am offering this powerful course for just £67 until the Spring Equinox on 20th March through the link below. I would absolutely love to see you in there ❤️🌿✨ http://spiralsoul.co.uk/wild-spring-herbal-remedy-course.../ So much love to you! Jane xx ✨🌿❤️🌿✨

I never thought I had anything of worth to share. For over 20 years I made herbal tinctures, creams, balms, elixirs, serums, oils, scrubs, wines, decoctions.... Anything herbal I made it! I shared them with my friends and family as birthday presents, I used them myself, gave them to people who I felt needed them. Never did I actually feel that what I was creating had any real worth, it was just some silly notions that I took. Yet I could never stop! Then 4 years ago I had a calling. I felt the flowers whispering. Suddenly I was creating flower essences and people started to buy them! Then I was selling my herbal medicine and I got my full herbalist qualification! It felt (and still feels like!) the wild plants were leading the way and I was tripping over myself to follow! And so with joy (and some disbelief!) I created my Wild Spring Herbal Remedy Course last year. And now I am offering it to you again on sale! 🌿✨ This is an online course that leads you by the hand to make your own wild herbal medicine. Simple, fun and easy to follow videos and worksheets, you will be creating herbal tinctures, balm, teas... And lots more with the wild plants on your doorstep. I will also lead you through beautiful practices that build your connection to nature and the seasons so you can bring your own wild magic into your life and the herbal remedies you will be making. Let's go on this beautiful wild herbal adventure together! Until the Spring Equinox, on 20th March, I am offering the course at a stunningly low price of £67. Please know that this will rise to the normal price of £97 on the 20th March. Just follow the link below... spiralsoul.co.uk/wild-spring-herbal-remedy-course-offer/ Sending you love on your exciting herbal adventures ahead! Jane xx ✨🌿❤️🌿✨

You may not realize we carry bulk beeswax for diy projects like homemade lip balm, body butter, salves, candles etc. I like to put them in various size molds not just because they're pretty but so that it's easier to portion out the amount you need for different projects. Have you ever tried cutting through a huge block of beeswax or shaving a bunch down with a cheese grater? Lots of work and very slow to boot!

🏵St John's Wort. 🏵 The beautiful yellow flowers turn to this deep amber red color because of the hypericum, an antioxidant flavanoid in the flower petals. This wonderful plant is great for treating anxiety and depression, especially SAD, Insomnia and nerve pain. Safe for kids too. Use caution with sun exposure while taking, and or pregnant/nursing. My daughter and I foraged for this last summer in the PNW mountains and turned it into a tincture, it is also an ingredient in our amanita massage oil. I only have one jar left to get me through until summer when st johns wort thrives. I will have these at all events and markets. #stjohnswort #hypericum #amberisthecolorofyourenergy #pnw #herbalist #herbalmedicine #makeyourownmedicine #fightinflationeattheweeds
Dandelions everywhere! Harvested on the new moon. Dig, wash, dry, chop, weigh. A little bit of maths to work out the amount of alcohol needed and leaving this for 4 weeks to extract. Easy.

☀️ Tussilago ☀️ Unbelievably excited to find patches of Tussilago farfara (Coltsfoot) growing wild on the land here at Ivywood 💗 🌿Yesterday evening I harvested a small amount of Tussilago flowers with such delight. 🌿The flowers went straight into a glycerite mix. I only harvested a small amount which will make 400mls of Tussilago glycerite. 🌿Tussilago flower glycerite is an EXCELLENT anti-tussive for coughs. It’s also a soothing respiratory expectorant and anti-spasmodic for bronchial conditions. 🌿We had completely run out of our Tussilago flower glycerite 3 years ago!… hence my excitement 😃 🌿Each March we used to wild harvest the flowers from the sand dunes at our local secluded beach in Sligo. This remote spot boasts a massive colony of Tussilago farfara. 🌿We would create tincture from Tussilago leaves later in the season for more serious respiratory illnesses including emphysema. 😍The second picture is baby Roan, just 4 weeks old, at his very first herbal harvest with us in the dunes exactly 10 YEARS AGO! 😍 🌿This week, Ross and I had just been speaking about the loss of the Tussilago flower harvest in our lives since moving to Clare and the unparalleled cough medicine that is the glycerite we always made. 🌿Understanding your respiratory herbs as a herbalist in Ireland is crucial to clinical practice. Tussilago is one of the most highly effective medicines for respiratory conditions. 🌿A note on herbs with pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Many plants that are medicines contain differing structures of PAs which can be toxic. Tussilago is one. Herbal medicines can be very strong. For those foraging and making medicines from wild plants like Tussilago be sure to learn from a forager/ herbalist that will inform you on correct medicine making and dosage. It’s always best to get herbal medicines prescribed to you by a qualified herbalist who will know their phytochemistry and correct dosages 😊 #tussilago #tussilagofarfara #coltsfoot #respiratoryherbs #traditionalmedicine #herbalism #herbalmedicine #nativeirishplants #plantmedicine #traditionalirishmedicine #herbalmedicinemaking #herbalremedies #makeyourownmedicine #wildharvested #ivywood

Taking Back Our Health... Something I’ve been doing for a few years is making my own prebiotics and probiotics. If you have been having opu (tummy) issues one thing you can do at home is eat more fermented foods. I like to take it to the next step and that is make my own and as well grow most of my own ingredients. Also know that many of our health challenges come from our opu. Think of it this way. Why is there more people doing restoration work around the soil. See if the soil isn’t good then no matter what we grow isn’t going to be great. So what’s in your soil? What needs to be in your soil for it to be pono. So let’s restore Momma ‘Aina (Mother Earth’s) soil so her biome is healthy. If her soil is healthy then we will be healthy. So take back your health and tend to your biome and Momma ‘Aina biome. ***For our dog lovers. Saurakraut is also great for our fur doggies. Even they need to have a healthy biome. I give to my 16 year old fur babies every morning in their breakfast. I love to see them still acting like pups because they are well. Picture is... Saurakraut Turnip Kim Chee Also try fermented cucumbers Mmmmm...Ono..... #TakingBackOurHealth #WhenSheHealsWeHeal #FermentedFoodsIsMedicine #Saurakraut #KimChee #GrowYourMedicine #MakeYourOwnMedicine #AncientWaysOfHealing #TeachTheKeiki #SupportAncientLifeways #KaiapuniHoolaPihaSanctuary #UnitedPillarsOfAloha

The feeling you get from filling your wee trug with pretty home grown yumminess is like no other. How I’ve missed carrying home my little basket of joy! It may be February but there’s fresh deliciousness on offer on the lotty. I have: 🌱kale sprouts (one of my yearly highlights) 🌱miners lettuce (Claytonia) 🌱salad burnet (perennial fabulousness) 🌱land cress (brilliant self seeder) 🌱sorrel (also perennial) 🌱wood ear mushrooms 🌱chives (perennial) 🌱bunching onions (yup, they’re perennial too) 🌱primroses (both flowers and leaves are edible…and they’re perennial) 🌱Thyme (another perennial!) 🌱mullein (prolific self seeder) I’ll be eating some fresh (kale, miners lettuce, land cress, chives, bunching onions, sorrel, primroses); fermenting some (salad burnet); dehydrating some (wood ear mushrooms and thyme and mullein). The thyme and mullein I’m using to make a cough medicine. My early start this Sunday morning will be made so much better with a breakfast of lightly griddled kale sprouts and poached eggs topped with chives 😋 Hope your Sunday has ‘glimmers’ too! #harvestyourown #februaryharvest #allotmentharvest #eatyourveggies #fermenting #dehydrating #makeyourownmedicine #selfsufficiency #yearroundgardening #allotmentgarden #allotmentlove #gardenbloggers #gardengram #gardenfolkfriends #kale #cavolonero #sorrel #minerslettuce #landcress #primroses #edibleflowers #thyme #mullein #chives #bunchingonions #perennialgarden #perennialvegetables
