✨ GIVEAWAY: A Little More Calm ✨
(Local pick up required!)

Sometimes we all need a little reminder to slow down & breathe deeply.

I’m giving away a Calm + Grounded Herbal Self-Care Bundle filled with some of my favorite plants for moments when life feels a little too full. Inspired by dropping off 2 of my kids at college over the past few weeks, with my baby getting ready to start his senior year of high school! Life is good, but it is FULL.

💕 Calm Essential Oil Roller: jojoba infused with lemon balm + chamomile, with helichrysum, green mandarin & lavender essential oils

🌿 2 glycerite blends:

Centered Calming Glycerite: lemon balm, holy basil & skullcap.

Rooted Adaptogenic Glycerite: ashwagandha, astragalus & schisandra

These glycerites are easy to take straight from the bottle or add to your favorite drink for a little extra herbal support throughout your day.🍹

🔥 Cozy Fireside Tea: lemon balm, holy basil, chamomile, hibiscus & oatstraw

A little herbal support for creating your own cozy ritual, whether that means a quiet cup of tea, a dropper of glycerite, or rolling on a calming aromatic blend before bed. 🤍

TO ENTER:

1. Follow Melissa | Clinical Herbalist
2. Like this post ❤️
3. Tag a friend who could use a little more calm in their life 🙋‍♀️ (one entry for each tag)

✨ BONUS ENTRY: Share to your stories and tag Melissa | Clinical Herbalist so I can see it!

Giveaway closes September 4th at 10:00 am. Winner will be randomly selected and contacted via DM. Winner must be able to pick up in Hayden.

This giveaway is not affiliated with or sponsored by Instagram.

Good luck, friends!

Every time I share my dog’s dinner, I get messages asking what I’m feeding her, so I figured I’d finally show you. 🐾

My pup is almost 13, and this is the homemade meal I make for her. I batch-cook about two weeks at a time and freeze individual portions in Souper Cubes which makes it surprisingly easy to keep up with.

I use a combination of whole-food ingredients:
🐾 Ground turkey + chicken liver
🥚 Eggs + finely ground eggshell for calcium
🐟 Sardines + fish oil
🥕 Green beans, sweet potatoes, peas + carrots
🍚 Brown rice
🥥 A little coconut oil
🌿 Turmeric

She gets this homemade meal once a day, along with a complete, high-quality commercial food for her other meal. Pretty sure you can guess which meal she prefers though. I get the side eye every time we run out of homemade food!

As an herbalist, I love incorporating herbs and nutrient-dense whole foods into our animals’ routines. Keep in mind, this is what works for *my* dog and isn’t intended to be a complete homemade diet or a recipe for every dog. Individual needs vary, especially as our pets get older.

Strawberries + plums + basil + lemon balm + skullcap + a splash of lemon juice = the most delicious little summer shrub!

Bright, tart, refreshing, and a little relaxing. Perfect with sparkling water, cocktails, or just sippin’ it straight!

I’ve been thinking about hosting a casual Wild Roots open house where you can stop by, sip some herbal drinks like this, and check out what I’ve been making.

Would you be interested in something like that?! I’d love to know!👇

🍂 Fall Workshops! 🍄🌿

As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to learn practical herbal skills you can use all year long.

This fall, join me for three hands-on workshops:

🍄 Medicinal Mushrooms: Learn the benefits of some of the most well-studied medicinal mushrooms, how to use them safely, and the best ways to incorporate them into your wellness routine. Take home your own custom mushroom tincture!

🌿 Fire Cider: Make your own traditional herbal fire cider while learning about the herbs that support the immune system during the colder months. You’ll leave with your own jar to take home!

🌸 Women’s Wellness: Explore herbal support for hormones, stress, sleep, & digestion. You’ll gain practical tools to support your health naturally, and mix up your own tincture blend.

Whether you’re just beginning your herbal journey or looking to deepen your knowledge, these workshops are designed to be approachable, informative, and fun.

✨ Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot! (Link in bio)

Which workshop are you most excited about?

Supporting your body doesn’t always have to meal doing more.

Sometimes it’s a nourishing meal. A walk outside. A quiet moment. A warm cup of tea.

Small acts of care add up.

How are you supporting your body today?

07/06/2026

A lot of the women I work with feel like something just feels “off” in their body. Their symptoms don’t feel random, but they don’t always know how they’re connected.

I offer one-on-one herbal care programs focused on hormone balance, stress, sleep, and digestion, with plans tailored and adjusted over time.

Start here: “Work With Me” link in my bio. 🌿

Just because you can grab something off the shelf doesn’t mean it’s completely risk-free.

OTC medications absolutely have their place, and they can be helpful when they’re the right tool for the job. But it’s important to understand how they work, what to watch for with long-term use, and whether there are other ways to support your body, too.

A custom glycerite blend featuring some of my favorite herbs for digestive support. 🌿

✨ Marshmallow: soothing and moistening for the digestive tract
✨ Chamomile: calming to both the nervous system and the gut
✨ Fennel: traditionally used to ease digestive discomfort
✨ Calendula: supports healthy digestion and tissue healing
✨ Lemon Balm: a gentle herb that can help relax digestive tension

This blend is for a little guy, so I chose a glycerin base instead of alcohol. Glycerites are naturally sweet-tasting, alcohol-free, and easy to incorporate into a daily routine. They aren’t as strong as an alcohol based tincture, but they’re perfect for little ones!

Making another batch of lymph support oil 🌿

Lemon balm, tulsi, calendula, chickweed, and plantain…all grown here, harvested by hand, and infused into jojoba and almond oil. A small essential oil blend goes in at the end.

I always reach for herbs like calendula, chickweed, and plantain for gentle skin + lymph support. They’re simple plants (…most of them “weeds” 🤣…) that do a lot without the fuss. Bonus that they grow prolifically! If you’ve ever tried to get rid of chickweed, you know it’s basically impossible. So embrace it!!

Still one of my favorite parts of herbal work is following the whole cycle: growing it, harvesting it, and turning it into something useful.

And just a side note, but did you know the amazing in Hayden has this oil as an option for their massages?! 😍
