May blossom cordial 🌸 made with hawthorn flowers and elderflower, honey and spring water. Harvesting the hawthorn flowers was a true labour of love - rather fitting with hawthorns affinity to the heart 💗

I had intended to make hawthorn flower cordial but was slightly short with the hawthorn flowers so added elderflower to make up the weight, turning this into a May blossom cordial with the flavour of both of these seasonal blooms really complimenting each other ✨

Use 200g of flowers
200g of honey (or sugar)
1 litre of water

Heat the water and mix in the honey/sugar until dissolved. Take off the heat and add the flowers, pressing them into the water. Leave covered for a few hours to infuse and then strain into sterilised bottles. Mix with either still or sparkling water for a beautiful spring drink 🌿

💛Lemon balm tincture

🌱Lemon balm (Melissa officianalis) is known to support relaxation and help with physical and mental wellbeing - helping to calm nerves, uplift mood and bring emotional balance.

🌱Lemon balm contains an enzyme (rosmarinic acid) that increases GABA in the brain. GABA is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters, which is used by the brain to prevent over-excitement and bring balance. This produces a calming effect, making lemon balm useful for those with mild anxiety, nervousness or other stress related symptoms.

🌱Lemon balm has mild sedative properties so can also be a really helpful sleep aid - helping to fall asleep easier and to stay asleep for longer.

🌱Lemon balm has also traditionally been used to aid digestion - helping to soothe bloating, indigestion and gas.

✨ Lemon balm is traditionally ruled by Jupiter, so it embodies expansive, uplifting and joyful qualities. This tincture was started on a Thursday, the day of the week associated with Jupiter, to really draw on these energies.

🔮Lemon balm is believed to attract love and harmony, success and opportunities, and for healing emotional wounds. Symbolises feminine energy and intuition.

Awaken the Spirit: Spring Equinox Workshop🌸

Join us as we celebrate the Spring Equinox, a time when day and night are equal, and a balance point of the year.
This workshop honours the rhythms of nature and the energy of spring, a season of growth and renewal.

Herbal Alchemy: Spring Tonic🌱
Spring is not just about cleaning our homes; it's also about cleansing our bodies.
We will look into plant allies that help to support us through the season and boost immunity after winter.
You will learn how to make a traditional Spring Tonic Oxymel, using raw honey and apple cider vinegar, along with spring herbs known for their cleansing benefits.

Honouring the Air🌬️
The Spring Equinox connects to the East and the Element of Air. To embody this energy, we will create Spring Wind Chimes, which will hold our intentions for the season. Let the spring breeze carry our hopes and goals into reality.

Everything in nature is coming alive.

The Earth is turning from the dark depths of winter to an outward manifestation of the new growth cycle.

Come celebrate the Spring Equinox and align with the season of awakening and balance.

Tickets available here ✨

After a very cosy, restful and restorative start to year, things are beginning to gently get moving here again 🌀

A beautiful, and very wet, afternoon at the well for Imbolc last Sunday, giving gratitude and thanks for the water of life, freely flowing from the depths of the earth, rising up like the seeds that will soon be sprouting into life around us 🌱

Also sharing my available remedies - tinctures, glycerites, elderberry syrup and fire cider.
I’ll be at on Sunday and bringing all of these with me 🙏

And I’ll hopefully be starting herbalism workshops again in Spring 🌸♥️
