Plant Medicines
The deeper I journey with the plants, the more I understand how important, how vital it is to allow them to guide me to just the rite moment for creation and use. To access the wisdom when they are ready to share.
My initial dive into the plant world through Flower Essences was such a beautiful experience and I connected to many plants around me. There are so many wonderful herbs, trees, flowers and weeds willing to support us and it was, in a way overwhelming to work out what to use, when to use, how to use. I was constantly making things and the results were wonderful.
I loved it.
But.......
They then asked me to be still. To be quiet. To listen. To hear.
Take a step back and observe.
To see how there is a rite time for everything.
Plants are seasonal, have stages and cycles, dormant phases and growing phases, fruiting and blooming phases. Dormant doesn't necessarily mean no medicine. Some plants are more potent in winter when leaves drop and all their energy is poured into their roots.
Each plant has its own unique cycle and this adjusts and changes with the environment as they are fluid, easeful and consistent in nature. This is imbued into their whole being.
Their spirit.
They invite us to sit.
Slow brewing Medicinal Botanicals is just that - A Medicine Sit.
Working slowly, in small batches, carefully brewing remedys over a period of weeks, encourages connection with the plants.
As the menstrum and plant changes and transforms in matter and essence, a synergistic releasing and receiving process emerges with the passage of time.
These botanicals are crafted with purpose and intent. The results are stable, but nuanced, every blend containing subtle differences that arise with each harvest. There will never be and identical batch, because the herbs evolve and grow with and within, their surroundings.
This medicine is alive - that is the constant.
Thank you so much for being here!
