You know how good the sun feels warming your skin

You know how good the sun feels warming your skin and brightening your day?

If I could bottle that feeling, it would be this remedy...

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

CALM sparkles on the tongue. The taste of midsummer flowers that calm and uplift your nervous system. Rose, lavender, lemon balm, St John's Wort & borage glycerine.

I have 5 bottles left. Message me if you'd like some.

As the bees buzzed and the sun shone last June, I collected the herbs to make a nervine remedy. CALM blends:

💮🌸 Rose 🌸 💮
...calming to the nerves, soothing to the digestion and womb

☀️St John's Wort☀️
...lifts the mood, supports liver function

🌿Lemon balm 🌿
...relaxing nervine, soothes digestion, opens circulation.

💠Borage💠
...supports adrenal function.

☮️Lavender☮️
... relaxing for the nervous system, soothes anxiety

Midsummer flowers infused in glycerine by the warmth of the sun to bring light into your life. A few drops on the tongue and you can taste sweet summer.

I've been using this with clients who are anxious, grieving or having trouble sleeping.

Its also been a big hit with my baby daughter. Helping her sleep when she's bothered by teething or restless on long car journeys.

I have a few bottles left, message me if you'd like one.

Medicine made with love for trying times.

We had such fun harvesting elderberries back in August to turn into Immune Tune Up tonic. My medicines are made in small batches from plants I have grown or harvested. This year the Immune Tune Up Tonic was made with extra special care and intention. The intention that we be safe and resilient in times that are challenging our physical and mental health. Elder berries are a potent anti viral medicine. I combine them with:

🌹rosehips packed with immune supporting flavanoids and vitamin c
🍄Birch polypore a medicinal mushroom that stretches the capacity of your immune system
🌊 Sea Kelp a great source of b vitamins, calcium, magnesium and iodine to boost your body's resilience

Here in the UK hopefully lockdown will ease soon and we'll be mixing and mingling a bit more. After isolation, we've not been exposed to the usual bacteria, germs and viruses we usually build resilience to in every day life, so it's a great time to give your body a little helping hand. I take a spoonful of immune tonic every day as preventative medicine. It's wonderful to feel supported by my local plants, fungi and seaweed... We are never alone. 😊❤️

I have a limited number of Immune Tune Up tonics left for sale. Message me if you'd like one posted out to you. ❤️📮📦❤️
