🌹 Rose: Not just beauty, but deep medicine.

Rose has long been honored for its heart-healing, hormone-balancing, and skin-soothing gifts. It’s a nervine for grief, an astringent for digestion, and a cooling remedy for inflammation.

✨ Rose petals soothe wounds, ease PMS, calm anxious hearts
🍯 Rose honey soothes sore throats
💧 Rose hydrosol balances hormones + cools liver fire
🌺 Rosehips strengthen immunity, circulation, and bones

Rose invites softness, vitality, and resilience. Especially helpful in menopause, grief, or burnout. Let the heart be nourished.

🌿 Meet Mullein – the perfect blend of presenc

🌿 Meet Mullein – the perfect blend of presence and practicality
With its towering stalks and soft, velvety leaves, Mullein is a beloved lung ally, used traditionally to ease coughs, clear congestion, and support respiratory health.

Easy to grow, drought-tolerant, and beautiful in bloom, Mullein can be trusted to help you with:

🫁 Lung Medicine
Traditionally used for dry, irritated coughs, Mullein soothes inflamed respiratory tissues, eases spasms, and supports expectoration. It’s a classic ally for smokers’ lungs, bronchitis, and long recovery from respiratory illness. Think of it as a balm for tired lungs.

🦴 Spinal & Joint Support
Mullein root and leaf are often used for musculoskeletal alignment, with a special affinity for the spine and hips. It’s said to support the body’s natural structure, helping lubricate joints and ease stiffness, especially in “dry” constitutions.

💧 Lymphatic & Urinary Health
This plant helps move stagnation, whether it’s swollen glands or sluggish lymph. The root is also known to tone the bladder, making it helpful in cases of incontinence or urinary irritation.

🎧 Ear Care
Mullein flower oil (often paired with garlic) is a go-to for earaches, especially when they’re nerve-based. It can help soften wax, reduce inflammation, and bring gentle relief.

🌼 Safety tips
Cooling, moistening, and gentle. Mullein is widely considered safe, but its fuzzy leaf hairs can be irritating, always strain teas well, and wear gloves when handling large amounts of the leaf.

✨ Mullein reminds us that softness can be strong, and that sometimes healing starts with a deep, supported breath.

🌿 Meet Valerian- An Insomniac's best friend Kn

🌿 Meet Valerian- An Insomniac's best friend

Known for its potent calming properties, Valerian root has been used for centuries to ease tension, quiet the mind, and support restful sleep. This strong medicine helped me in a recent consultation with a patient that struggled with racing thoughts at night. Through a blended approach, bettering her diet, as well as adding teas and tinctures to her routine dreadtime smoothly transitioned into bedtime.

🍎✨ Learn how to make Apple Blossom Elixir
With summer in full bloom we've been working on herbal remedies as we see the summer blossom around us. This week we wanted to share our recipe for Apple Blossom Elixir.

It’s a gentle herbal remedy you can take after meals to help your stomach settle and support healthy digestion. But what makes it really special is how it works on an emotional level too.

Apple blossom is known to support the heart, especially during times of sorrow or grief. It brings a soft kind of strength and helps you feel a little more whole when things feel heavy. Apple cradles the heart, strengthening it & helping your ❤️ to be whole again.

The Ashwagandha is nearing the end of its days, so

The Ashwagandha is nearing the end of its days, soon I will be harvesting the roots and saving the seeds, a little later in the season than usual.

Ashwagandha grows in NB as an annual, and typically doesn’t make it past the first frost. It’s native to India, Middle East, etc. where it grows as an evergreen shrub.

I have always grown Ashwagandha outside, never in a greenhouse, and have been saving the seeds for the last 9-10 years. I like to think they have adapted to the climate here over the years…maybe wishful thinking!!??!!

The haskap berries are starting to ripen! It’s great to have fresh fruit already 💚

Most years the cedar waxwings get the majority of the berries; they are sneaky! This year I have a few tricks to play so it will be interesting to see who ends up with more fruit. I’ll keep ya posted! 😀
