Temporarily out of the apothecary as I celebrate year #5 with my husband. We’re spending some much-needed time away, hiking and vibing in nature. I spotted lots of plant friends including the ever-magical Partridgeberry! This plant has been used in Native American and other cultures for pregnancy and childbirth support, and as I finish up my doula training, I just love how she pops up to encourage me along! It feels so right to have little confirmations along the way. Happy 11/11 ❤️

Valerian is well-known for its supportive role in helping people establish healthy sleeping patterns. It offers calming, relaxing relief for people struggling with insomnia, sleep-related anxiety, tension, and pain. And, Valerian is incredibly supportive during times of convalescence and healing.

(Shhh this herb is known for its interesting smell and taste...some liken it to stinky feet. But I have to say, it grows on you, and is worth the initial unpleasantness).

Also known for its support in pain relief, Valerian can be a great option for menstrual pain, headaches, and post operative pain.

Mildly sedative, I consider Valerian to be a stronger herb for sleep, though in smaller doses it isn't consider a sedative and can actually help with focus, especially when nerves and/or anxious feelings are interfering with focus.

Understanding your personal needs and starting with a smaller does (1/4 dropper is good for me), can help you develop your own unique herbal routine. I also recommend starting out with taking this herb in the evening, in case it makes you drowsy.

Have you worked with Valerian? Which of its benefits do you turn to it for?

Ghost with me, if you dare:

👻 Lion’s Mane supports focus, memory, and cognitive function.

👻 Chamomile supports relaxation and restful sleep cycles.

👻 Mugwort supports the body during painful periods, irritability, and heavy bleeding.

👻 Golden Glow serum contains turmeric and aloe, which support healthy, glowing skin.

👻 Mimosa Flower supports an uplifted mood, especially during times of grief and sadness.

👻 Blue Lotus supports a sense of well-being and creative flow.

Wellness can be so eerily natural 👻

When your natural allies show up right outside of the window, it’s a very magical thing indeed.

Usually I do a little foraging to find turkey tail but this time all I did was look outside of the bathroom window. I believe plants show up when we or a loved one needs them, and many herbalists I highly respect believe the same.

I’ve been fighting off an illness for the past few days and it seems like my friend Turkey Tail is here for support! And what a cool thing that is - Turkey Tail supports immunity and helps build gut health (where the majority of the immune system resides).

Just another reason to pay attention - you never know what you might discover right outside your home.
