Glycerin tincture making using the Crock-Pot method.

For these extracts I will have them sit in here on the warm setting for 24 hours before I strain them.

This is a much faster way of making a glycerin extract rather than letting it sit on the counter for 3 to 4 weeks. I am making these for a client who cannot have alcohol-based products.

brewing up some fire ciders with different herbs. My own philosophy of formulating fire cider is to use the pungent herbs as a base (garlic, onion, ginger, horseradish, etc) but add other herbs I may want for various medicinal purposes. We will be teaching a class in Indiana PA in mid February!

Both of us have been leaning into a cacao practice

Both of us have been leaning into a cacao practice lately and it’s been really wonderful! Cacao has incredibly wonderful health benefits, incoming energizing, antioxidant properties, and mood uplifting. Best of all, you can support women owned businesses and sustainable cacao production. I’m really enjoying making this part of my regular practice. #cacao #cacaoceremony #herbalism #sacredplants

A little video pre-class for our backyard herbalism class! This was a full class of wonderful people who wanted to learn about the medicine in their backyard. We covered four different medicinal plants: plantain, ground ivy, all heal and jewelweed. We also learned how to make four different preparations: the jewelweed infused witch hazel for poison ivy, a backyard healing salve, a backyard tummy tea, and a fresh poultice of plantain! #backyardherbalism #plantain #jewelweed #groundivy #allheal #salve #paherbschool #herbalism #healing
