There's 40 litres of organic Fire Tonic infusing for another 4 weeks before its ready to be bottled and half of it is already reserved.
As you know, i only make this special potion once a year and when its gone, its gone, so if you want some, now is the time to order a bottle.
It comes in 250ml, 500ml and 1L.
For those that dont know, i make Fire Tonic exclusively with organic and homegrown spices, fruit, herbs, apple cider vinegar and honey in a very concentrated form so a little bit goes a long way to support your immunity during winter.
This is a great tonic to keep around during the colder months. Ingredients are infused in apple cider vinegar for 6 weeks and are then strained out, and the infusion is blended with raw honey.
Take half a shot undiluted 3-4 times a day when you are experiencing cold/flu symptoms or just half a shot per day for prevention/immunity boosting.
It is also a yummy dressing for your salads and stirfries made with all organic ginger, turmeric, onion, garlic, cayenne pepper, lemon, orange, grapefruit, parsley, hawthorn berries, rosehips, black pepper, coriander, celery, cinnamon, nettle, oregano, sage, thyme, calendula, rosemary, rosehips, beetroot, apple cider vinegar, raw honey

This aromatherapy elixir blends essential oils and botanical extracts in organic olive and almond oil to melt away stress, calm the mind, and ease into a blissful, restorative sleep.
Its sweet, dreamy scent of vanilla, chamomile, sandalwood, lavender and a touch of magic doesn’t just help you drift off, it may even invite a few enchanting dreams along the way!

How to Use:
Apply just a few drops — it’s highly concentrated.
Rub gently around your neck and chest, on pulse points, feet and on the solar plexus energy center (belly)
Breathe deeply and relax as you prepare for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Theres a few accupressure points that can help to relax the mind and induce sleep in the next slides.
1.HT7 look for a small hollow on the little finger side of the wrist, just next to the tendon.
2.LV3 on the top of the foot, in the hollow between the big toe and second toe, where their bones meet.
3.Yin on the tip of the bridge of the nose, between the eyes

Wildfire season herbal support
It is a rather sad reality the moment that i admit that summer in Cyprus=wildfire season, however im not here to analyse my feelings or the state of the world, but to remind you of how our plant allies can support us once more.
If you have inhaled smoke during the wildfires or live in proximity to the devastated areas, then you will require some support, especially for your respiratory and nervous system.
Mint, rosemary, thyme, fig leaf and marjoram are overall great as expectorants, ie to help move residue from the throat and nasal passages, calming coughs and soothing the lungs.
Demulcent plants that moisten the mucus membranes such as linden (tilia) flowers, marshmallow root, liquirice root, plantain, mullein can be very helpful in cases of dry and irritated throat, nose and skin.
Rose, chamomile and melissa are lovely to add to any blend as they are cooling your body while soothing your nervous system and comforting your broken heart. Same applies for rose and lavender hydrosol.
Prepare any or a combination of the above herbs in a large jug and add ice to it to enjoy it cool throughout the day. If you want to add a sweetener use honey for the antinflammatory and moistening benefits it has.
You can use a few of these remedies with your animals too, by adding a bit of tea or dried herb to their waterbowl or mixing it in their food.
I encourage you to carry some extra water in the car over the summer and offer it to a plant or an animal in need, as a way of nurturing our resilient and reciprocal communities that include more than just the human kind.

All purpose healing balm 💛
A silky balm with olive oil, potent botanical extracts and pure beeswax that can be used as a natural remedy for skin irritations, minor burns and cuts, rashes, insect bites, dry hands, cracked lips and itchy skin. It is one of our best sellers and a favorite amongst people with eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
This lovely balm is unscented because it is completely essential oil free, however there is a distinctive herbal scent to it due to the high botanical extract concentration. We are using 12 organic herbs from our island, such as st johns wort, yarrow, thyme, rose and more that we steep in organic olive oil from our trees. We use slow extraction method to get all the herbal goodness into the olive oil which does not involve heat or sunlight (that damage the delicate botanicals) but employs lots and lots of time instead.
We then blend it with organic beeswax from Mediterranean bees, which give the balm its rich emollient properties and also forms a protective barrier on the surface of the skin against irritants while still allowing the skin to breathe.
It comes in two sizes, 30ml and 60ml.
Use just a tiny amount because as with all of our products, a little bit goes a long way 🐝

I have known .evlogimenou for a while and i like her work and ethos so i asked her to collaborate for my new website.
Artemis mentioned that she heard her dad saying that our grandmothers used to be friends back in the day, and my mom confirmed it. Coming home last night after spending all day together at her studio, Artemis sent me this photo of our grandmothers, Elsie and Polyxeni, having lunch with a group of friends 70 years ago. Pictured is also my grandfather Vasos, greatgrandmother Ioulia, aunties Chrysanthi and Lelia (the only one still earthside).
Grandmother Elsie has been my biggest inspiration and probably is, the woman of my life.
To have the opportunity to listen to stories about her and connect to people who knew and loved her so many years after her passing, is just the most precious thing.
Community is what keeps our loved ones alive, and for all the pain this island has given me, the present of living in a place where my ancestors lived, where im able to unexpectedly meet my grandmother, still alive in the memories of the people i have just met, is comparable to none.
What a blessing, what a gift 🤍
