Lion’s Mane is one of the most fascinating mushrooms I work with.

And also one of the reasons I first started learning about medicinal mushrooms in the first place.

Because I saw the difference it made in our own home.

Lion’s Mane has been studied for its ability to support the brain and nervous system.

It contains compounds called hericenones and erinacines, which are believed to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) — something our brain needs to grow, repair and protect nerve cells.

Which is why people often take Lion’s Mane for things like:

🍄 Brain fog
🍄 Focus and concentration
🍄 Memory support
🍄 Nervous system health
🍄 Neurodivergent support
🍄 Feeling mentally exhausted or overwhelmed

What I love about it is that it’s not a stimulant.

It doesn’t “push” your brain like caffeine.

It works more gently in the background, supporting the health of the nervous system itself.

This beautiful Lion’s Mane was grown here before becoming part of the tinctures I make.

Every bottle is small batch and made with intention.

My Lion’s Mane tincture is:

🍄 £20 for a 30ml bottle
🍄 £55 for any 3 tinctures
🍄 £90 for any 5

(This offer isn’t on the website — it’s only available directly through me.)
If you’d like to try Lion’s Mane, comment LION’S MANE below and I’ll message you the details.

If your brain could use a little extra support right now, drop a 🍄 below and I’ll send you the details.

Did you know that bitterness actually stimulates your digestive system?

I only learned this properly recently, and it made me laugh a bit because it turns out I’ve been doing it every single morning without even realising.

Every morning I have a small cacao.

Not a huge ceremonial dose.
Just about 20g of cacao with my mushroom tinctures and a bit of cinnamon.

No milk.
No sugar.
Just the natural bitterness of the cacao.

And that bitterness matters.

Because when we taste something bitter on our tongue, it sends signals through the digestive system that can encourage the body to produce things like glucagon-like peptide-1, or you might know it as GLP-1.

Yes… thats the GLP-1 everyone seems to be talking about right now.

Now I’m not saying cacao replaces medications.

But it did make me stop and think…

If our body already knows how to make these things itself, supporting those natural pathways makes a lot of sense.

And cacao has been used traditionally for centuries for digestion, energy and focus.

So maybe my morning cacao isn’t just a comforting ritual after all.

Maybe my body knew exactly what it was doing.

And before anyone asks 😁 I always make my cacao with just boiling water.

No milk, no sugar — I like to keep the bitterness, because that’s the part that stimulates digestion.

Plus it means I can simply pour the water, give it a whisk, and get on with my morning.

If you’d like to try it yourself, I actually have ceremonial cacao available.

It comes from a fair-trade cooperative, where the cacao production supports the local community.

You can try:

• 40g sample portions (enough for two mornings)
• or 450g bags for £35

If you'd like to try some, just message me and I’ll sort it for you.

Now tell me 😁

Do you enjoy bitter foods?
Or are you like me and normally avoid them like the plague?

I’ve just finished making my Maitake double extraction mushroom tincture this weekend.

Which meant that today, I’ve been able to make my Wild Woman Blend again, after it being out of stock for a little while.

Wild Woman Blend is a combination of Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Maitake.

I created it for women moving through perimenopause and menopause who feel like their body is doing things they don’t quite recognise anymore.

Hot sweats.
Feeling anxious for no obvious reason.
Worrying about everything.
That wired but exhausted feeling.
Hormonal bloating.
Foggy head.
Feeling out of sync with yourself.

So many women put these things down to stress, ageing, or just not coping very well.

But for a lot of women, this is perimenopause showing up in quieter, less talked about ways.

This blend isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about gentle, steady support while your body is moving through change.

Over time, many women who use this blend have shared that it’s helped them feel more supported and more steady during this stage. Some have even told me they felt well enough not to start HRT, or were able to come off it with the support of their own practitioner. That’s their experience, and it’s something I hear more often than you might expect.

If you’ve been waiting for this one, it’s now back in stock.

You’re very welcome to message me if you’d like to order or ask a question,
or you can order directly through the website.

And if you already use Wild Woman Blend and feel happy to share how it’s been supporting you, your words might really help another woman who’s quietly reading along.

I was asked this week if my Magic Balm helps with chilblains…

And honestly, yes, it can.
Chilblains are painful, sore, inflamed and often linked to poor circulation.
Which is exactly the kind of thing this balm was made for.

It’s packed with nettles and dandelions to support circulation and skin repair, alongside calming and healing oils like helichrysum, lavender, copaiba, rosemary and frankincense.
It’s not about slapping it on and hoping for the best though.

Warm the area first.
Massage a small amount in gently.
Morning and night.
The warmth plus the massage helps bring blood flow back in, and the plants help calm the inflammation and support healing.

If the skin is broken or the chilblains are very severe, it’s supportive rather than an overnight miracle.
But for soothing pain, calming angry skin and helping things settle, it can make a real difference.

I love when people ask these questions, because it tells me the balm is being seen for what it is
A proper, everyday, reach-for-it-when-your-body-is-grumbling kind of remedy.

If you’re dealing with sore, cold, grumpy skin this winter and wondering if it might help you too, just message me 💛

This isn’t a big mug of tea kind of set.

And that’s actually the whole point.

I made this tea set for those moments when you don’t want to rush, don’t want to gulp, and don’t want to stand at the kitchen counter scrolling while your tea goes cold.

It’s one small pot, poured into little cups, shared between up to six people. A few mouthfuls at a time. Enough to slow you down without turning it into a “thing”.

You don’t have to do a ritual.
You don’t have to light candles or chant.
You can just sit, pour, sip, and talk… or not talk at all.

It’s the kind of tea set you bring out when you want to actually be with the people you’re with.

I’ve paired it with six of my herbal blends so you can choose what fits the moment — calming, grounding, heart-opening, uplifting, settling, or sleep-supporting.

It won’t be for everyone.
If you love a massive mug you can walk around the house with, this probably isn’t your thing.

But if you like the idea of slower tea and shared moments, this one might really speak to you.

Price for the complete Shared Tea Ritual Gift Set is £60 including 6 of my sharing tea blends, approx 60 standard cups in total, so plenty to keep you and your friends in tea for quite a while 😁😁

I’ve got some space this week to make up a few custom orders.

This time of year can leave people feeling a bit flat, heavy, unmotivated or emotionally wobbly, especially after the intensity of the festive period.

If you’re feeling like you’d like something gentle to support you through that, I can make up a custom flower essence or a personalised tea blend, based on what you’re drawn to and how you’re feeling.

Flower essences are traditionally used for emotional and energetic support, and many people choose to work with them when they want something gentle to help them feel more balanced and supported.

I don’t diagnose or fix anything.
I simply listen, share what I make, and create blends that people choose because they feel supportive and grounding for them.

If that sounds like something you’d like, you’re welcome to message me and we can have a gentle conversation about what’s possible this week.

If not, I’ll be making and sending again next Friday.
