When winter feels intense I reach for herbal allies such as elderberry syrup and immun-i-tea to ward off colds and flu and heart's ease to lift my spirits. Come find me this week at the Lunenburg Market Thursday morning and the Blockhouse Market Saturday 9 til noon to get your winter fix.

A perfect couple… rose and hawthorn.

Heart medicine for those who are deeply sensitive to the world around them, heartbroken or grieving, or stuck in depression.

Rose petals were known in ancient Persia for their ability to heal and protect the heart, and calm the nervous system.

Hawthorn has a long history of use in Europe as a tonic for both the emotional and physical heart.

Both plants are high in flavonoids and polyphenols, which reduce inflammation and oxidization in the body, especially in the cardiovascular system.

They strengthen and tone the heart muscle and vasculature, and help remove plaque from the walls of the blood vessels.

Did you know the heart is the primary organ of perception? We sense with our heart first, before the brain has time to register anything.

The calming nervine qualities of rose and hawthorn can help get us out of our busy heads and back into our hearts, where we are more in tune with the subtle nature of the world around us.

Heart’s Ease is a tincture made from wild foraged beach rose petals and hawthorn berries from a friend’s farm. It’s small batch and there are limited quantities available.

In honour of St. Valentine and all the tender hearts out there I am offering it at a special price for the month of February.

You can find me at the Blockhouse Farmers’ Market in the Waldorf School this Saturday (tomorrow) from nine til noon.

Hope to see you soon my loves.

Wild East Herbals is a new vendor at the Lunenburg Farmers Market starting this Thursday! After being a regular shopper at this incredible market for the past 15 years or so, I am finally going to be standing on the other side of the table. I'm nervous, but excited to share herbal wellness with my home community. Come visit me and stock up on winter wellness remedies like immun-i-tea, elderberry syrup and wild cherry cough syrup, or sleep and digestive aids, available as teas or tinctures. Or simply stop by and say hello...I'd love to hear which plant medicines are helping you in your daily life!

There's something about the quietness of the living things in the winter forest... mosses and lichens composting dead tree stumps into nutrients for all the other living beings of the woods. It's a whole other world that we can walk by and not even notice.

Forest walks inspire me to stay on my path of making medicines from nature to support vitality in the body.

I have been brewing and drinking immun-i-tea for well over 10 years, maybe 15, as my winter wellness tea. It has nine ingredients, because when I was studying with herbalist David Winston, we were using a system for formulating called a triune, that required using nine herbs in a formula, three for each body system we were targeting.

Immun-i-tea supports the immune and digestive systems, along with the lungs. It helps to build the deep immune reserves, our white blood cells, and I feel more vital when I drink it daily during the fall and winter months.

It's available at the Blockhouse Market every second Saturday through the winter, and at Ploughman's Lunch in West Dublin.

Blockhouse Market is at the Waldorf School Saturday mornings, 9-noon.

I'll be there this Saturday, with teas, elderberry syrup, wild cherry cough syrup, sleep remedies and other herbal formulas to keep you well. Come by and say hello, and give yourself a mid-winter vitality boost!

As the new year approaches my thoughts are wandering towards Green Bay and the wild loneliness its shoreline evokes in me... if anyone wants to join me there on New Years Day for a contemplative stroll please message me for a meet up time... Blessings to all in 2026 💚
