Foraged dandelion roots, scarlet elf cups and hazel catkins. Also spotted a unicorn turd 💚. A blessed day indeed.

Hello everyone!

Spring is springing and it's time to start posting again 💚.

Last Friday, I teamed up with Brogan of HEAL THY SELF The Ancient Art of Healing (a wonderful complimentary therapist, who gives the world's best massage), to make this stunning Viola odorata (sweet violet) glycerite. A glycerite is used as an alternative to an alcoholic tincture, suitable for children and those with sensitivities to alcohol. Vegetable glycerine itself is mildly laxative.

🌺 Violets have secret underground flowers, which may not see the light of day, but still go to seed! Sounds like fairy magic, but ok.

🌺 Viola odorata has been used for centuries in Europe as a pulmonary remedy, to ease dry coughs with it's mucilage action. This action paired with its anti-inflammatory properties, are excellent for reducing pulmonary inflammation (inflammation of the lungs).

🌺 The flowers and leaves are high in vitamin c.

🌺 The plant contains high levels of rutin, which strengthens capillaries, and salicylic acid: the compound that aspirin is made from for reducing pain.

🌺 You can make a beautiful syrup with the flowers and as a ph indicator, it can change from violet to pink when lemon is added, eventually turning green over time. Pretty cool!

🌺 Pinched from Brogan, because it's cool af "They’re used in love magic, often worn as an amulet to increase your love chances as they are considered an aphrodisiac." Thanks Brogan 💚.

P.s. In the name of sustainability and general courtesy towards the plant allies, we never take more than 1/3 and always give thanks. In this instance, as well as saying thank you, we cleared some rubbish from the area, giving our hands a light coating of fragrant fox p**s.

They're finally listed 💚.

In the interest of keeping things fresh apart from the mushrooms, I'll be doing limited prints of everything.

All prints are hand embellished with gold and white acrylic. They look great paired with a gold frame for a special gift.
