🌲🍵 FOREST MOON MILK 🍵🌲

My son and I had to take a little work break at the apothecary today for a Forest Moon Milk — our earthy, mineral-rich herbal spin on a matcha latte. 🌿

I’m currently up to my eyeballs in herbal protocols, and thankfully my extra-tall youngest son is here helping me reach all the herbs my 5’3” self absolutely cannot. 😂🌿 Mother-son teamwork at its finest.

So… Forest Moon Milk break it was.

And yes, I know I’m making a mess. What? I dare you to say something about it. 😂🌿 Between the herbs, tincture bottles, powders, protocols, and everything else spread across the counter, the apothecary currently looks less like a peaceful herbal workspace and more like the herbs staged a tiny, leafy rebellion.

But honestly, that’s part of the process.

🍵 What’s in it?
Matcha • Spirulina • Spruce • Nettle • Agave • Plant Milk

The flavor is earthy, green, slightly woodsy, and subtly sweet — matcha gives it that familiar rich green-tea flavor, while spruce adds a beautiful fresh forest note. Nettle and spirulina deepen that mineral-rich, green flavor, and agave plus creamy plant milk round everything out.

🌿 Why we love it:
• Nettle provides naturally occurring minerals and plant nutrients
• Spirulina brings chlorophyll, protein, and micronutrients
• Matcha offers antioxidants along with a smooth caffeine lift
• Spruce gives it that distinctly wild, evergreen character
• Plant milk and agave make it creamy and just sweet enough

It tastes a little like the forest and a matcha latte had a baby. 🌲😂

Mineral-rich. Creamy. Earthy. Wild.

Sometimes plant medicine looks like tincture bottles and protocols spread across the counter…

and sometimes it looks like making a glorious herbal mess, daring someone to comment on it, taking ten minutes with your kid, drinking something green, and laughing about how you need him around just to reach the top shelf. 🤎🌿

Forest Moon Milk — a little taste of the wild in your cup.

🌑🌊 LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES 🌊🌑

Tonight feels like a threshold.

Pisces is water, intuition, dreams, endings, surrender — the things we feel long before we have words for them.

And under a lunar eclipse, what’s been hiding beneath the surface has a way of rising.

Old emotions.
Old patterns.
Old versions of ourselves we’ve already outgrown.

This isn’t necessarily a night for forcing answers.

It’s a night for listening.

For getting quiet enough to hear what your body, your intuition, and maybe even the wild world around you have been trying to tell you.

Release what has run its course.
Let the waters carry away what you no longer need.
Make room for whatever is trying to be born next.

Take your tea outside.
Put your bare feet on the earth.
Sit beneath the night sky.
Journal. Cry. Dream. Be still.

You don’t always have to know where you’re going.

Sometimes you just have to know what you’re finally ready to leave behind. 🌿🌙

Return to the roots. Trust the tides.

🌿 NEW IN THE APOTHECARY! 🌿

We’ve got some fun new little books in the shop from a local forager and fellow plant lover! 🍄🌲

These beautiful little pocket guides are perfect for tossing into your backpack, keeping in the truck, or bringing along when you’re wandering the woods and wanting to learn a little more about what’s growing around you.

I absolutely love being able to carry something created by someone local who shares that same curiosity and connection to the plants and wild places around us.

Come by Bare Root Apothecary, flip through one, and grab a copy for your next adventure. 🌿

Learn the plants. Know the land. Return to the roots.

Escaped to Puget Sound for a couple of days for a little saltwater, sea air, and a different kind of rewilding. 🌊

There’s something about being near the ocean that takes me right back to my younger years, when so much of my life was spent close to the water. The smell of salt in the air, cold water on my skin, tides moving in and out… it wakes up a part of me I sometimes forget is there.

This kind of rewilding looks a little different than disappearing into the mountains.

It was diving into cold saltwater. Searching for crab. Walking the shoreline. Letting the wind tangle my hair. Eating what the sea provided and remembering that I’ve always felt most like myself when I’m outside, a little dirty, a little wild, and connected to something bigger than the noise of everyday life.

It was a quick trip—just two days—but apparently two days of filling my lungs with salt air was exactly what I needed.

Sometimes filling your cup doesn’t mean slowing down.

Sometimes it means going back to the places that remind you who you were before life got so damn busy.

Saltwater this time.

Mountains next. 🌊🌲

Different landscapes. Same return to the roots.

Back to the apothecary.

🌿 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO CLEAR?

We spend so much time thinking about what we put into our bodies—but very little time thinking about the systems responsible for moving unwanted substances out.

At Bare Root Apothecary, our targeted wellness kits are designed to support the body’s natural elimination pathways with thoughtfully selected herbs, binders, teas, and traditional preparations.

🌿 PARASITE SUPPORT KIT
Herbal support traditionally used for digestive health, regular elimination, liver function, and maintaining a healthy intestinal environment.

🍄 MOLD SUPPORT KIT
Designed to support the liver, lymphatic system, digestion, and the body’s natural pathways of elimination—especially for those concerned about environmental mold exposure.

🌲 HEAVY METAL SUPPORT KIT
A gentle, supportive approach focused on nourishment, antioxidant support, digestion, and the body’s normal detoxification processes.

Detox shouldn’t mean throwing a handful of herbs at your body and hoping for the best.

What you take matters.
How you take it matters.
Your medications and health history matter.
And supporting elimination matters just as much as the herbs themselves.

That’s why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

Not sure which kit makes the most sense for you?

Come into Bare Root Apothecary and talk with a clinical herbalist, or send me “DETOX” and tell me what you’re looking for.

I’ll help you determine which approach makes the most sense—and whether a detox kit is even appropriate for you.
