MARIGOLD also known as Calendula.
It's Scientific name is Calendula officinalis.

A beautiful midsummer bloomer. Common in many gardens at this time of year 🌼🌼🌼

Marigold flowers have wonderful skin healing properties when made into an oil, cream or infusion. They are also soothing, antinflammatory and antifungal. It can be helpful for some types of eczema or for skin healing after an operation or injury.

Taken internally as tea or tincture it can help the body clear out metabolic waste via the lymphatic system or help with congested glands if you have a cold.

I keep this fabulous herb in many forms - as a cream, as a tincture and in dried form for teas or skin washes.

If you have any skin niggles feel free to book in a discovery call with me or a 15 minute video consult for minor ailments. Just go to the links in my profile. Or if you'd like to try my Calendula cream DM me.

Our first Wild Herbalism day in April was such a delight. We got great feedback and now we're preparing more plant-based loveliness for our summer solstice workshop which will be on June 29th, on the edge of Brighton.

🌱🌺🪻🌳⚘️

This all-day workshop is a deeper dive into seasonal wild foraged herbalism, a chance to learn practical medicine-making skills whilst being outdoors and connecting more deeply with nature and the seasonal cycles.

🌳✨️🌿🌼

At this time of the summer solstice, the plant world is in full bloom and at this workshop we will be making some sassy remedies which reflect this abundant and carefree time of year including a wild Love potion 🩷 as well as a topical bug balm. We will also have some beautiful wild teas filled with fresh medicinal flowers and plants of this time of year to taste.

🌺🌸🌱🌿

You will gain confidence about what can be wild foraged and how to do it safely. We will also provide the opportunity for you to tune into your intuition and cultivate your direct relationship with the plants as well as trying some more sensory plant exercises.

🥣🥣🥣

Teas, snacks, and a wholesome vegan lunch will also be provided.

Join us 🌞

Thanks to everyone who came on the Wild Medicine Walk last weekend. There were so many lovely spring plants to meet and taste including Sweet violets, Stinging nettles, Dandelions, Plantain, Hawthorn, Cleavers, bramble and more. I shared some safety info as well as a plethora of medicinal information and some quirky history and folklore about these wonderful but often overlooked little weeds. 
We tasted fresh Nettle and bramble leaf tea whilst soaking up the sunshine and being gently blasted by some north winds!

My next walk is on 11th May and will be a Beltane special (The old name for the festival around Mayday) with blossoms a-plenty 🌼🌸🪷⚘️🌼🌻🌺

If you fancy taking a deeper dive into wild medicine and learning how to also make your own herbal remedies. Join me on April 27th for my Wild Herbalism day. 🌿🌱🌳🌼

I hope you are all enjoying this amazing weather!  🌞
