There’s that familiar chill in the air. The equinox has passed and the leaves are turning. 🍂
Nature is shedding what it no longer needs and going into hibernation.
We love smudging for this time of year. This cleansing ritual can help to release any energy held from those busy summer days and gives us a chance to pause, set intentions and reset our space.
Have you tried smudging before? What is your favourite herb to do it with? Comment below, we’d love to hear! 👇 🥰

We had the absolute privilege of seeing this beautiful mother and baby humpback whale, amazing, magical, humbling experience. Nature in its purest form here on the osa peninsula, feeling so blessed to be here. And learning yoga training too

Having a wonderful yoga training in Costa Rica surrounded by amazing medicinal plants, gradually getting to know them, this beauty is spiral flag, Costus specious. A succulent ginger like plant that has been traditionally used to manage diabetes, treat inflammation, skin infections and wounds, indigestion, colic and constipatio, menstrual problems, bronchitis, asthma and coughs. Always consult a qualified herbalist or health care provider before using medically and make sure you are using the correct part of the plant. The stems and roots are used. It’s so exciting getting to know new herbs herbs

What grows together goes together 🫶🏼🥰

Today whilst strolling the chalk stream banks of the river Stour, I found two of natures wound healers side by side. 🌞

Plantain, when chewed, can create a poultice.
Indigenous cultures around the world use plantain to heal wounds, cure fever, and to draw out toxins from stings and bites! 🐝 🐍

Yarrow has volatile oils which work as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and diuretic agents, making it an ally for all things cuts and bruises.

Two incredible first aid plants, right at our feet, co inhabiting the same space! Nature is truly full of gifts 🫶🏼🤍

Myrrh 🔮
A tree resin that has traveled through time, finding its way from ancient temples to modern homes, and from sacred texts to scientific journals.
Antiseptic, antimicrobial and wound healing, our balm made with myrrh is a staple in our first aid kit (our pots are just the right handbag-size!)
Tracy made this batch yesterday and was mesmerised by the changing colours in this process. Ancient alchemy 🔮
You can purchase in store or online (link in bio) 🪬

Nourishing, glossy, GORGEOUS! Time spent making frankincense face cream is never time wasted. 🥰
With the help of rosehip oil and sea buckthorn, this face cream soothes and rejuvenates dry, dull skin like no other.
It also looks kind of delicious (or is that just us?😅)
