Getting to know Angelica.

A sacred plant across cultures. Reflected in her name - Angelica archangelica and her statuesque presence when she flowers.

Full of volatile oils, angelica root is pungent, bitter, sweet, oily, warm and stimulating. Angelica stimulates the appetite and raises blood sugar. She also opens blood circulation, so nutrition is brought to all parts of the body, particularly fatty deposits to insulate nerves, more fluid in the joints and more blood flow to the extremities and uterus.

Angelica vapours are used in sweat lodges and she's a diaphoretic, so there are physical and spiritual parallels to this statuesque queen that simultaneously clears the head, lowers blood pressure and elevates you energetically, facilitating connection with your higher self and the angelic realms.

Full moon garden harvest. Lemon balm, calendula, valerian flowers, elderflower. The full moon is a great time to harvest the aerial parts of plants. The moon's pull on water brings the energy up into the leaves and flowers. I will be infusing these plants in alcahol and oil to preserve their medicine for the year to come.

Good morning... I have a little studio space near home @fishfactoryarts. I'm their fishy instagram guest today and sharing some posts about my work that I thought I'd shared here on my timeline too for those followers that don't yet know me so well. I'm an artist and herbalist based in Penryn with a wee workspace at the Little Fish. This time of year I'm spending most of my time outdoors harvesting plants for medicine in the wild and growing them in my garden. Here're some snaps of my adventures hunting for burdock root.(The tattoo art is valerian leaf.) A workplace hazard getting the sticky burrs tangled in your hair... And then success this spring digging up the fat roots 😊. Burdock is an amazing detoxifying herb to clean the blood and lymph. It is a great friend if you need to shift deep seated skin conditions as it supports the liver and also has anti microbial and anti fungal properties. I will be chopping up the roots to make an alcahol extract from them. I educate folk about herbal medicine through teaching and art. You can find me @bellebenfield. And through my herb practice, Heartfelt Herbs. If you'd like to learn more about herbal medicine while you're on lockdown, I put together a video series with 5 ways you can make medicine from plants. Join the Alignment through Plants Facebook group to watch the replays of the videos. 💚🧩🎨🃏💚
@fishfactoryarts is a pretty special place supporting artists and their work and offering our community and beyond a Cornish cultural hub. They're hard hit by the lockdown with no cafe, gigs, exhibitions or events possible at this time. Please check em out, make friends with them, support their crowd funder, commit to visiting us for music and art when lockdown is lifted.🎶💚🎶🐟🐠🐡🐠🐟 #herbalmedicine #botanicalart #artiststudios #medicine #plantmedicine #wildfood #foraging #tattoo #penryn #artistsoninstagram #artistresidency #burdockroot #valerian #herbalist #cornishherbalist #cornishartist #cornishcoast #gardening #permaculture #agroecology #herbalremedies #forager #natureisthebestartist #natureisthebestmedicine

These are fertile times. When the soil gets disturbed, all kinds of new plants arrive in the garden.
Through grief and fear, hawthorn pulls our energy from our controlling minds to our compassionate hearts.
Hawthorn is here to support us to find our brave heart.
Beltane blessings to you: May the fire energy of summer and the vibrant pulse of the Earth give you the brave heart to create the world you want to see.
