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. ❤️📮📦❤️

It's the last few days of the mid Cornwall seed sw It's the last few days of the mid Cornwall seed swap!! This SeedSwap is for You if you want to get growing this spring whether you're ewperienczd or not. Find a SeedSwap box at your local shop (see below for details) & drop off your clearly labelled seed packets while you're out doing essential shopping or on your daily exercise. The deadline for seed donations is the 19th February. Please drop off seeds to swap that you have grown, collected or have excess. They must be securely packaged in folded paper or an envelope, & very clearly labelled showing what variety they are. The idea is to promote saving seeds from your own crops and to share them with others in the area. The aim is increasing biodiversity & availability in the area, & promoting local food security. Please check here for more info on how to save & package your seeds: https://www.realseeds.co.uk/seedsavinginfo.html Then complete an online form letting us know what seeds you'd like & whether you are a new gardener, a seasoned professional or something in between. You can find the form here: https://forms.gle/9sMkdq56EQKUH4Fo6 Our team will safely gather the SeedSwap boxes, sort the seeds - do our best to get you what you want - & then your seeds will appear back in the same SeedSwap box ready for collection sometime after 19th February cut off date. We already hold quite a variety of seed including kind donations from the Heritage Seed Library. Drop off / pick up locations: The Eco Collective - Porthtowan Cusgarne Farm Shop - Cusgarne Country Store Health Foods - Redruth Beat and Roots Cafe - Redruth Churchtown Fruit & Veg Shop - St Agnes Natural Store - Helston Natural Store - Falmouth Bohelland Medicine Garden, 80 Bohelland Rd - Penryn Donate funds to support the project here: http://fnd.us/f1lhK9?ref=ab_65Idg5_sh_d85MQ9
