DIY Infused Oil Recipe in Organic Life Magazine!
So unbelievably stoked for this article that just came out in Organic Life Magazine! The profile also includes a recipe on how to make your own floral-infused botanical hair & body oil so be sure to check it out on my blog! 
One correction worth mentioning: I was finally able to overcome my dependence on western meds for recurrent (and severe) poison ivy that plagued my northeastern youth with the miracle that is Jewelweed {Impatiens capensis}, also known as poison ivy’s antidote. This herb was one of the first to instill my faith in plant medicine when I drank & doused myself in it before harvesting Hawthorne berries from an ivy patch as part of my first herbal apprenticeship. After having poison ivy twice already that summer [both times in my eyes], I was certain I’d be doomed – but alas! Despite my skepticism, the Jewelweed protected me perfectly. Endless thanks to all of my herbal teachers & schools who are mentioned here ~ this lineage is built on the minds & skills of knowledge keepers that pave the way for each new generation of healers

Rooted Honey
|| ROOTED HONEY ||
Tonight’s late night alchemy = a healing food + medicine that is wonderful to have at home!
To make:
• Finely chop a handful of fresh garlic, ginger + turmeric.
• Add a bit of honey and pound in a mortar to release the fresh juice.
• Pour into a clean jar and fill with honey; mix well. • Dose: Take a teaspoon daily (or spread on toast) to prevent infections, or 3 spoonfuls to treat them.
All of these ingredients are potent healers! GARLIC protects the heart, aids circulation, prevents viral infections + clears sickness from the lungs. GINGER aids digestion, stimulates circulation, and soothes coughs, colds + flu. TURMERIC improves liver function, relieves inflammation, and fights infections. HONEY is antiseptic + nutritive.
