Cold hands, tension, or heaviness can be winter’s way of asking us to slow down 🌲
This ginger hand-warming ritual supports circulation, warmth, and grounding into the season.

How to practice:

Fill a bowl with comfortably warm water
Add fresh ginger slices or strong ginger tea
Soak hands for 1–2 minutes, allowing warmth into palms and wrists
Remove hands and gently massage palms, fingers, and wrists in slow circles
Take 3 deep breaths, noticing warmth spreading upward

✨ Let warmth return where the cold has settled.

Save this ritual for chilly days 🤍

Feeling tense, inflamed, or run down this season? 🌿
Marshmallow root is one of our favorite gentle herbs for soothing irritation, cooling heat, and supporting the nervous system — especially during colder months when our bodies crave softness and hydration.

We just shared a new blog all about marshmallow root, how it works, and why it’s such a beautiful ally for winter care 🤍
✨ Chill with Marshmallow is now live on the blog.

And if you’d like to experience this herb in community, we’d love to have you at our Tea Party on January 6th — a cozy gathering to sip, learn, and connect 🌱🍵

💭 I used to think burnout was just part of the job when you care deeply for others… until I hit a wall.

As healers, we give so much — but no one teaches us how to refill our own cup. 🌿

In Episode 1 of The Healed Healers Podcast, I’m sharing my own burnout story and the self-care rituals that helped me rebuild my energy, boundaries, and joy.

Hello!

Artemisia Academy provides community & land based herbal education for Santa Barbara and the Southern California region. As the only herb school in Santa Barbara & surrounding counties, and one of only 4 herb schools on Southern California, we teach convenient condensed courses, and weekend classes specifically designed for commuters and people with busy lives.

Classes were originally a part of Herbalist Emily Sanders' practice Active Alchemy. However, as interest in the herbal arts has increased, she moved more in the direction of herbal education and founded the first herb school in Santa Barbara in an effort to reconnect people to healing themselves, their land & their community.

The Artemisia Academy of Herbal Arts & Healing currently offers herb walks about uses of local & native plants, hands-on medicine making workshops, and an 8-month Herbal Apprentice Program, giving students who want to begin their journey as a Community Herbalist a place to get there feet wet with a comprehensive introductory course to Herbalism & Holistic Healing.

Artemisia Academy is in the process of expanding to offer an intensive 2-year clinical program. At this point we welcome supporters and donations of all kinds. If you would like to get involved in the launch of the herb school to its full potential, please write to us at info@ArtemisiaAcademy.com.
