The Herbal Path

Aw, guys, whoever nominated The Herbal Path, in these 2 categories - thanks so much! 🌼💛

Great to feel seen & appreciated as a tiny Irish brand in there between some of my favourite Irish brands.

I received the email 9 days ago but just glanced at it and forgot about it until I saw people sharing posts! And I was like, hang on a minute, I actually am involved in this too!

To feel recognised is lovely! Even if I feel like a needle in a haystack!

I've been a bit quiet here over the last few weeks because of some mystery virus that had me absolutely floored. I had to step away from everything to rest, slow down, and let my body heal. Luckily, I have all my herbal allies here for support. 🌿
Thank you all so much for your patience with delayed orders, msgs, not being able to do markets I had lined up, and everything! It's a massive reminder how hard running a small business on your own can be.
Yesterday was my first time in over 3, maybe 4 weeks to make something - a fresh batch of Dandelion salves - deep nourishment for dry, chapped skin and boosting circulation - something I definitely need after being mostly bed bound.
The gardens gone mad after no attention for the few weeks - everything in abundance and thriving the way it should when left alone. The bees are being well fed! 💛

Just said I'd pop on to let you know - that monthly subscriptions have been set up on my online store. Beneficial for those of you loyal customers who repeatedly purchase the same salves every few weeks (Thank you!) it's a handy option. Plus, you get 10% off your repeat subscription orders once setup 🌼🌿

I've also rejigged shipping prices for the smaller parcels - trying to keep the prices down as I know myself that I hate paying extortionate prices for shipping! 🫠

And I've (finally) set up local delivery options on the website to make life easier for locals who buy. I have a few drop-off points around the sligo, south Donegal, and north Leitrim areas.

The gardens well and truly starting to bloom, Bealtaine is definitely a favourite time of mine.. all the hard work paying off seeing seeds sown growing into beautiful plants, pops of colour all around, and of course harvesting and drying young leaves and flowers. Forever trying to get ahead with drying, storing herbs and infusions.

Bealtaine15 is still active online for all your orders 🌼💛💛🌼

🌿 Sage in flower 🌿

This is Salvia officinalis—the classic garden sage, and one of the most respected herbs in traditional herbal medicine.

Right now it’s flowering, sending up these beautiful purple blooms that are not only loved by pollinators but signal a shift in the plant’s energy 💚
Sage has a long history of use for:
🍃 Soothing sore throats (try it as a warm gargle)
🍃 Supporting digestion
🍃 Helping regulate excessive sweating
🍃Bringing clarity and focus

There’s something special about seeing a medicinal plant move through its full cycle—from seed to leaf to flower—reminding us that timing and connection matter when working with herbs.

A whole planter box of luscious looking Chickweed doing its thing in the tunnel (plus a few random spud plants as always!)

Covered, free from everything. Full of natural goodness - from the inside out.

Wonder how many balms it will make😅
