Forgotten remedies

For countless generations, people turned to the plants around them for healing, nourishment, and guidance. The art of herbal medicine is a living tradition one that deserves to be remembered, practiced, and passed on with respect and care. This medicine walk is an invitation to slow down, listen to the stories of the land, and reconnect with the wisdom held in the plants and in our own senses. If you feel called to learn, you’re warmly invited to join a future walk through the link in my bio.

One night in ceremony changed the way I see myself.

I arrived carrying stories I had believed for years. Stories about who I was, what I was capable of, and the wounds I thought I would always carry.

As the medicine began to work, layers started to fall away.

The masks. The defenses. The limiting beliefs that had quietly shaped my life.

What remained was not something new.

It was something I had forgotten.

A deeper connection to myself.

A deeper capacity to feel.

A deeper understanding of the experiences and traumas that had shaped me.

Throughout my own journey, I have been fortunate to sit with people who carried a depth of presence that changed me. Teachers, elders, facilitators, and guides who created spaces where I could meet parts of myself I could not have reached alone.

They did not walk the path for me.

They simply knew how to walk beside me.

This is the gift of true facilitation.

When you find yourself in the care of someone who truly holds this work, it is something to receive with respect.

Because what is being offered is not simply a service.

It is presence.

The kind of presence that allows old wounds to surface, emotions to move, and forgotten parts of ourselves to return home.

These ceremonies helped me release what no longer served me, feel what I had spent years avoiding, and reconnect with a deeper truth within myself.

And for that, I am deeply grateful.

Have you ever experienced a moment that changed the way you see yourself?

Before to***co, humans smoked many different plants.

For thousands of years, the smoke of certain herbs carried prayers, marked ceremonies, strengthened community bonds, and deepened relationships with the spirit of the land. Smoking was not simply a way to consume a plant. It was often a ritual, a form of medicine, and a way of entering into relationship with the natural world.

Among many Indigenous Nations of North America, smoking blends made from local plants were prepared for prayer, diplomacy, ceremony, and healing. The plants chosen differed from place to place, reflecting the ecology and traditions of each people. To***co was often only one plant among many.

In Ancient Egypt, Blue Lotus held a sacred place in spiritual and ceremonial life. It appears throughout temple art and funerary imagery, suggesting a role in religious practice, celebration, and altered states of consciousness.

In Southern Africa, Wild Dagga has been used traditionally by communities who understood the plant as both medicine and companion. Its use reflects a broader tradition of working with local plants to support well-being and connection.

Across Europe, Mugwort was regarded as a plant of vision, dreaming, and protection. It was burned in rituals, carried by travelers, and used by those seeking insight through dreams and altered awareness.

In Central America, Damiana became part of a long lineage of folk herbalism. It was valued not only for its physical effects, but for its ability to support relaxation, pleasure, and connection.

Today, smoking herbs remains one of many ways people work with plants, alongside teas, tinctures, infusions, baths, steaming, syrups and topical preparations. Every method carries its own tradition, philosophy, and experience.

Before working with any herb, take the time to learn its history, traditional uses, contraindications and potential risks. Not every plant is suitable for every person, and inhaling smoke of any kind carries health considerations.

There’s something powerful about having a place dedicated to your craft.

Same hands. Same herbs.
But a completely different energy.

This is where I study, create, and keep learning.
And you can feel the difference

Spring is here 🌱

The real New Year begins on the 21st of March. The equinox signals the return of light and life, when plants begin to grow again, making it a natural point to begin a new cycle.

As the body emerges from winter, so too does the land. The first plants that rise are not incidental; they are part of a larger intelligence, offering their bitter, mineral-rich qualities to cleanse, restore, and rebalance after a long winter.

To move with spring is to participate in this process to release what has accumulated, and to realign with life as it returns.

In recognition of this seasonal threshold, I’m offering up to €100 off on ceremonies, 25% off medicine walks & medicine making workshops & 20% off in my herbal shop until March 22.

Vi**ra wasn’t always how humans “fixed” desire.

Long before pills, cultures around the world turned to plants to awaken sexual energy. These plants were known as aphrodisiacs. Its name comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, desire, and pleasure, honoring the plant’s connection to sexual energy and vitality.

An aphrodisiac plant isn’t about instant heat.
It’s a plant that supports the conditions for intimacy:
better blood flow, steadier mood, deeper sensation, more presence in the body.

In Egypt, blue lotus was steeped and sipped for its dreamy, heart-opening effects, used in ritual, intimacy, and prayer. It softened the body, quieted the mind, and let pleasure move slowly, like water.

In India and Africa, mucuna wasn’t called an aphrodisiac at all, it was a nourisher. A seed for the nervous system. A builder of vitality. When the body feels resourced, desire follows naturally.

That’s how herbal aphrodisiacs have always worked.
Not by forcing arousal, but by warming the blood, calming the nerves, and bringing you back into felt sensation. Back into the pelvis. Back into breath. Back into presence.

Unlike Vi**ra or modern synthetic aphrodisiacs, these herbs: Support your body’s natural systems and work without creating dependency.

They don’t just “turn you on” instead they restore your capacity to feel, connect, and desire naturally.

Through the link in my bio you can learn more about these plants and find them in my shop.
