Our baby girl arrived this winter on a full moon. We took the winter to heal and recover. I’ll be mostly on maternity leave this growing season, but you can find our flowers at Sunshine Market. Thanks for your continued support!

Evergreens as medicine!

From one of my herbal teachers on grief. Part of the grieving process is feeling it, there’s no way around that. But plant medicine can be soothing to the heart, lifting to the spirit, and calming to a frazzled nervous system during this difficult time.

2021 was a grief ridden year for me. I mixed up a tincture I named grief relief. It was made up of St. John’s wort, mother wort, and lemon balm. It took the edge off, and gave my spirit a little buoy. I hope you find this article helpful and the many gifts of plants fascinating💗

“𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒇 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒖𝒏-𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒕, 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕, 𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕, 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒕𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎. 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒇 𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆, 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔.” -𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒍 ❤️

Grief is not a subject that is all around fun to feel into, easy to confront or effortless to talk about. And as the English language is so limited, there is no real translation meticulous enough to render how this tumultuous heartache really feels on the inside. These feelings that arise both psychologically and physiologically can be so hard to face that sometimes they are pressed down into the deeper depths of our being and held for many years if not a lifetime, causing some form of disease within the mind or body. Sometimes grief feels so gruelling to face, that attempting to turn a blind eye seems easier – I know I’ve hoped the heavy feelings would just slip away into desolate winds… but this is simply not the case.

If we don't experience love, then how do we experience grief? When grief arises, it shows us that we loved with such an intensity – and that intensity is actually a beautiful gift.

As Martin Prechtel says perfectly “𝒊𝒇 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆”.

Our green allies can help so much in supporting and building the heart whole once again, helping us find strength, courage and to find relief as we move through these emotions into greater healing. The intelligence of these beings are so brilliant, that sometimes we might need to accept that we do not have capacity to understand them in our limited human mind and simply trust this these plants will shine a light that will open our hearts towards a healing that we may have not known possible.🌹

What a fun time at Sigillo Cellars Chelan yesterday! Thanks to everyone who came out so support us and other local small businesses.

My pain relief balm was a hit. It was amazing to see how well it worked for so many, and how quickly. A hand full of people put a bit on their ailed area, walked around to view the event, and then came back saying that they already felt relief, and went home with a tin.

I’ve been helping people with pain management for over 20 years as a massage therapist. I’m so glad to have another tool to offer people for their well-being. Pain management is always a multifaceted approach, and herbs can be a power addition.
Alla Salute, to your health!

Crickets sound in the clear, fresh night air under brilliant, infinite stars. Their cadence, slow and effortful, like life’s last breaths. The mullein stands tall like soldiers, their posture stiff and unwavering. A cool crisp breeze chills the back of my neck, I breath it deep into my lungs and g...
