About

My Story

My quest into herbals was a simple trip through my yard. There I was, staring at all the “weeds” wondering what I should do about them. I ripped up a cluster of and did a quick internet search for an ID. Up pops a link to make a salve with it. The “weed” in question: Dead Nettle.

And then I went down the rabbit hole.

I’m running around my yard searching herbal remedies for every plant I find. It’s all I’m talking about to my family. My daughter is calling me hippie, my husband just nods his head and gives me the side eye. I’ve bought books, read blogs, watched videos. Everywhere we go I’m rummaging through the weeds looking for good stuff. I had my husband build me a dedicated herb garden raised bed. This year I’m converting one of my large veggie beds to herbs. I’m hooked.

I started collecting and drying plants and herbs from my yard. It’s amazing what you find growing right under your feet. The majority of all of my herbs come from my yard. I make my own oil infusions and use those oils to make my salves, balms, lotions, creams and other cosmetics. Products are made in small batches to preserve shelf life and most are made to order.

I hope you enjoy my products as much as I do. I welcome any and all feedback. Thanks for taking this journey with me.

Products

Salves & Balms

Salves and balms typically are a combination of herbal infused oils and beeswax. They are soft and easily spreadable. Great for helping improve and heal skin conditions or soothe aches and pains.

Some of my favorite plants for infusion are plantain, comfrey, calendula, chamomile, lemon balm, violets, and roses. They each have their own healing properties and combining them in different ways can create a super base for healing and soothing what ails you.

Cayenne Muscle Pain Salve

This is a great product for soothing muscle aches and pains. Cayenne is a warm spice that can block pain receptors when used externally. Combined with Arnica, Comfrey, and Goldenrod, this salve packs an anti-inflammatory punch. These herbs are infused in Sunflower, Grapeseed, Sweet Almond, and Castor oils which absorb well into the skin. A touch of Mango butter to help moisturize and Tamanu oil for its anti-inflammatory properties round out this powerful salve. Those with tree nut allergies should consult a physician before using.

Rejuvenating Rose Facial Balm

Roses have restorative properties and when infused in skin softening Jojoba oil they come to life. Add shea and mango butters which are high in vitamins A and E and are excellent for weathered and damaged skin and Rosehip Seed Oil which is an anti-aging oil and you have a powerful anti-wrinkle balm. Smooth some of this around your eyes, on laugh lines, or anywhere else you would like to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Joint & Ligament Salve

This is a special salve made with Arnica, Comfrey Leaves and Root, and the special ingredient Solomon's Seal Root. Solomon's Seal is best known for stimulating the healing of sprains, joint injuries, connective tissue and cartilage injuries. Add this to the anti-inflammatory properties of Arnica and Comfrey and you have a wonderful healing salve.

This oil infusion is limited as the Solomon's Seal Root is harvested in Fall so get some while it lasts. If this is out of stock, the Joint & Muscle Salve made with an infused oil of Arnica, Comfrey, and Purple Dead Nettle is a good alternative. All of these have great anti-inflammatory properties to ease what ails you.

Specialty Salves

A few specialty salves include:

Bug Bite Salve which includes Plantain, Violet, and Chamomile infused oil.

Anti-Fungal Salve from Black Walnut Hulls.

Poison Ivy Salve with Jewelweed and Burnweed in Olive oil to reduce the itch.

Whipped Body Butter

Body butter is a wonderful whipped lotion that provides long lasting moisture and smoothness to any part of the body. This is especially nice for those pregnant and wanting to reduce stretch marks. A great blend of chamomile, calendula, comfrey, violet, plantain, lemon balm, and goldenrod infused in Grapeseed, Sunflower, and Sweet Almond oils. Cocoa and Shea butters keep your skin soft and supple and a touch of Rosehip Seed Oil helps to improve damaged skin

Lotions & Creams

Moisturizing Lotions

We have a range of different lotions to meet your needs. From a basic Moisturizing Lotion, a blend with butters added for Extra Dry skin, and one geared towards Eczema relief. All are based from my herb infused oils. Many wonderful Essential Oils can be added to provide many delightful scents.

Dandelion Magnesium Lotion

Contrary to popular distain, the dandelion is a great herbal powerhouse. One of its many properties is that the flowers have a mild pain-relieving effect. Combined with magnesium oil, this lotion is excellent for preventing and reliving leg cramps or other pains. The addition of aloe vera gel adds a bit of smoothness. A soothing lavender scent finishes off this wonderful cream.

Most people do not get enough magnesium in their diet so adding this lotion directly to the skin is a perfect way to get it right to the needed areas.

(This cream can also be made with goldenrod which has an anti-inflammatory effect.)

Lotion Bars

Lotion bars are an oil and butter based bar that is more solid. It is nice to rub on problem areas for spot treatment and are portable. They can be made with a variety of different oils and fun additives to target specific problem areas. Natural Kaolin Clay gives them their spectacular color and they can be made in any available scent. These bars come in small and large sizes with different colors, shapes, and scents.

Rose Facial Cream

The cooling and soothing properties of roses combined with the skin softening properties of Jojoba oil creates a wonderful base oil for this facial cream. Shea and Mango butters add creaminess and vitamins A & E and the addition of Witch Hazel tones and fights inflammation. A pinch of Alkanet Root powder ( plant based colorant) gives it a pretty pink color. Rose scented but can be done in any scent by special request.

Lip Care

Taking care of your lips is so important. Everyone knows how painful cracked, sore lips can be. Protect them with these great lip balms. Some are designed to provide extra moisture and I even have ones that help prevent and heal cold sores. They are available in tins and tubes.

And lets not forget making them pretty!. Lip gloss provides a beautiful sheen with a hint of color.

Lip Balm Tubes

Lip Balm Tins

Luscious Lip Gloss

Bath Scrubs, Melts & Bombs

Scrubs

Scrubs are an amazing way to exfoliate away dry, flaky skin cells. I have varieties with sea salt and sugar. They will have your skin smooth and glowing.

They can provide an intense skin treatment so should only be used once every week or two.

Bath Melts

Bath melts are solid butters in fun shapes. Different herbs and flowers add a nice touch to create specialized skin care formulas. Drop 1 or 2 in your bath and the warmth from the water melts them leaving a protective layer of creamy butter to soften and moisturize your skin.

Be careful exiting the tub as the oils may make it slippery.

Fizzy Bath Melts

These cute little products are a cross between bath melts and bath bombs. They contain a butter to soften and moisturize your skin plus a fun fizz from citric acid and baking soda.

Be careful exiting the tub as the oils may make it slippery.

Bath Bombs

Bath bombs can be both energizing and calming depending on the herbs used. It's fun to drop these guys in your tub and watch them fizz. The addition of butters and herb infused oils leave your skin soft and refreshed.

Be careful exiting the tub as the oils may make it slippery.
