In my Kitchen Herbalism class I teach about ways to infuse herbal medicine into your every day life. Not by taking tinctures or using salves. But but adding herbs here and there.
Now, if you are like me, you might be thinking "dude, adding a sprinkle of herbs to my veggies may taste amazing, but how is 1/4 tsp of thyme going to impact my health."
And you are right-if you only occasionally use that 1/4 tsp of thyme.
BUT. If you are consistently using herbs to liven your dishes, adding herbs to your water, drinking teas (even just as a beverage-not in medicinal doses), cooking with herbal infused oils, using herbal vinegars to make dressings and marinades, drinking herbal smoothies...well. Think about how much herbs you are consuming daily! It adds up.
If you are a little intimidated, then start small. This Forest + Garden Seasoning Salt is the perfect place to begin. If you love umami flavor, if you like the flavor of mushrooms but not the texture 🙋‍♀️, if you like things a litttle savory, salty, with a tiny hint of heat (seriously TINY) then THIS is the perfect place to begin.

When we think about how humans used to eat, what comes to mind? Foraging for plants and fungi, hunting for meat. One thing that is notably absent from our ancestral diets, is sweets. Yes, there is fruit, but fruit wasn't as abundant as bitter greens and roots.
Today, some families are lucky to even have one serving of a bitter food a week. I mean, with the options of tasty foods, who would choose something bitter on purpose??
A bitter tincture is a great way to ensure you get the benefits of bitter foods without always eating them.
🍃Improves digestion
🍃Improves immune response
🍃Improves breakdown of fat and lipid soluble vitamins
🍃Improves gut microbiome (due to prebiotics)
🍃Reduces cravings for sweets

If you want to dive deeper into the purpose of bitters, join us in The Herbal Hearth and Home. Or, if you just want to grab a bottle and begin improving your digestive health, head over to the shop. Both links are in my bio!

I've always loved to learn. Even in school when I was learning about topics that weren't too exciting (accounting, anyone?) I still dove deep into the subject and learned as much as I could.
These days, I immerse myself into subjects that are a bit more aligned with who I am today and things that intrigue me or are beneficial to my craft.
1~Her Blood is Gold by Lara Owens. This book is all about the history, cultural implications, physiology, and spiritual connection we have to our menstrual cycles.
2~Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This book is a must for anyone interested in plant medicine.
3~Creating Sanctuary by Jessi Bloom. This is a beautiful collection of recipes, plants, and garden spaces. Such inspiration for my future sacred spaces.
4~Sacred Medicine Cupboard by Anni Daulter, Jessica Booth, and Jessica Smithson. I love this book (and her whole series of works). It is full of recipes, practices, and journaling activities for the entire family.
5-The Spirit Almanac by Emma Loewe & Lindsay Kellner. I'm loving this working book. It is totally aligned with how I'm living in tuned with the seasons~in fact, it flows through the wheel of the year! As the Sacred Medicine Cupboard, full of recipes, rituals, practices, and journaling.

Happy Mabon! This time of year creates a retrospection and introspection. As the earth balances between light and dark, we can think about balance in other ways. How are we balancing our home and work lives? Are we putting more weight somewhere? Do we feel like we have to? If you are struggling between being or doing two or more things that seem to be in opposition~why do you think you can't do both?
As Persephone returns to the Underworld, we make our transition to Autumn. This can be an uneasy time for some people as they get anxious about change.
Learning how to navigate this time is important.
My most recent newsletter talks about ways we can work with lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and herbs to flow through this time with ease-or at least with a little more comfort than before.
Click on the link in my bio to subscribe to my free newsletter, and then drop a comment and I'll send you the most recent email that talks about transitions, seasonal affective disorder, and adaptogens.

Whenever I talk to people about what their barriers to eating healthy foods and incorporating herbalism into their lives, the recurring answers are always lack of their two most valuable resources: time and money.
It's expensive to buy organic produce and grassfed meats and it takes time to prepare all the things.
It's expensive to buy herbal remedies from the health food store and it takes time to learn how to make your own medicine.
In my Kitchen Medicine course (Starting Oct 1), we break it down into easy lessons.
1-Intentional meal planning and preparation. This will save you time and money.
2-How to shop on a strict budget. Our food budget is one of the only variable expenses we have control over. Our health should not be sacrificed, but there are tricks to buying healthy foods without going over budget.
3-Kitchen herbalism. This mini course shows you fun and easy ways to incorporate herbs and spices that you ALREADY HAVE in your kitchen into your everyday diets to reclaim your health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best part about this course~because it is specifically designed for people who are looking to save money or have limited resources to begin with~it is only $2 before October 1 and $5 after.

This time of year is considered a transitionary period. We still have remnants of the warmth of summer but we are getting occasional hints of the cool that is to come. This is a time where I like to turn my focus more inward and more of a preparation. The season of gratitude starts to fall upon us, and we are bringing in the final harvest of the summer.
When we allow our bodies to be more connected to the flow of the seasons, both mentally and physically, it creates a more authentic rhythm of our life’s cycle.
We are wrapping up the first month of our herbal hearth and home program. As we begin to move towards October we are going to focus the entire month solely on nutrition and using what we have in the kitchen to create sustained health in our lives.
If you would like to join, or having any questions about directing your life through this transitionary period, please comment below or send me a message!

When we strive to live life in a way that is more natural, using herbs, avoiding unhealthy foods, etc. a big buzz word we hear touted as a seemingly answer for everthing: adaptogens. Herbs like ginseng, ashwagandha, tulsi, rhodiola, schisandra, and the like are all wonderful herbs that can help your body adapt to stress and restore energy. However, when we are simply USING herbs for energy vs working with the cooperatively in conjunction with addressing the root cause of our depleted energy, we are not only exploiting the herb (USE vs WORK WITH) but we are going into 'adaptogen debt'. It might not be as stressful as using stimulants, but it is similar.
First look at your lifestyle. Are you getting enough outside time connecting with nature? Have you developed healthy coping mechanisms for stress? Are you eating a mineral and vitamin rich diet (especially including potassium, calcium, b vitamins, iron, and magnesium)? Are you implementing a nourishing self care ritual? Are you getting enough sleep? These are all issues to focus on before choosing to simply take herbs as medicine.
I would love to help you develop your own practices in restoring your natural energy. Comment below if you need to work on this!

This week in The Herbal Hearth & Home, we discussed goldenrod and her benefits, and I also recorded videos on how to create beneficial goldenrod body oils that can be crafted into other medicines like salves and body butters, or used as is as a massage oil.
Even though we’ve already dived into the September gateway, you are welcomed to join us in learning about creating your sacred spaces, making infused oils, and the celebrations and energy that September brings in.
The Herbal Hearth and Home is more than lessons on herbalism. Each month we learn:
🍂energetics of the month
🍂how to align your life with the natural rhythms of the seasons
🍂a study on a different plant
🍂and yes, how to create your own plant medicines.

Here in South Carolina, elderberries have long since been harvested. I was blessed with a plentiful bumper crop this year. I have become more mindful over the years about my herb usage and purchases and dedicated my craft this year to working towards becoming totally bioregional and only using herbs that I harvest myself (or purchase from local growers). One of the biggest impacts on this decision is my stock of elderberry products. Growing tremendously in popularity over the last few years, elderberry sources have become scarce come winter and thusly driving prices waay up.
My elderberry products are in very small batch and limited supply. Once I run out, I will not be purchasing bulk berries online.
I encourage everyone to be mindful of their medicine cabinets and if you work with elder medicine, now is the time to fill your cupboards.
My honey, tonic, teas, syrup kits, and tinctures are fully stocked at the moment, but that will not be the case later this year.
Click my link in the bio and look for "All the Elderberry Things" to be linked directly to my offerings.

September is the intermediary time between summer and autumn. The air begins to cool but the heat still flows in occasionally.
We began the #herbalhearthandhome gateways today and learned a bit about taking the energy of September as a need to build a calming foundation and that we may need to utilize warming herbs to balance the coming cool.
There is still opportunity to join us for only $12 per month. You will learn about connecting with the earth, plant medicine, nutrition, and flowing through the rhythm of the seasons. Check out the link in my bio or message me for more information.

As seasons change, the desire to return closer to the Earth is strong. The oppressive heat has lifted (at least for a few days!) and nature's call is powerful. Those of us who feel it REALLY feel it. The yearning. The magnetic pull to return to something primal.
Most of my adult life I've been drawn to the old ways (as I type from my laptop in a coffee shop! haha). But really, yes I love to get my hands and feet dirty, dig in the earth, make foods from scratch, and really connect to my ancestral roots as much as possible. Making plant medicines and avoiding as much modernity as possible while still being connected are a huge component of this return.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've created this course which guides you in following your own path through the rhythms of nature. You will learn about the energy of each month, how to make your own plant medicines, how to reconnect with your primal self.
Each month we will:
~ go over a specific theme
~learn about plants that are in season during that time
~various practices to connect with your true self
~seasonal ways to return to the earth
~Learn about the ancestral traditions (mostly Western European) that center around the wheel of the year and
~learn how to create our own medicines and why we need to utilize plant based medicines in our lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are beginning in September (next week!!) and our theme for September is bringing in cooling energy, slowing down, and self care (oh, yeah-that word).
Please let me know if you have any questions at all via commenting below, PM, or email at angelina@wildearthherbals.com

This year has already taught me so much. I started the year (like so many of us do) with so many ideas and intentions to implement-both in my business and my professional life. Unfortunately, life seemed to have other plans. Overwhelm, exhaustion, emotional issues, etc. Treading water was the theme.
I spent a lot of time really this year thinking about why we always seem to be fighting to get through life. And what to do about it. And over time it came to me.
I’ve realized that when you integrate more of the seasonal flow of nature into your life, it just organically aligns. It’s as simple as slowing down in the winter and focusing on your core wellness. It’s working with the spring to build energy and nourish your body with renewed spirit.
We are not simply observers of nature from the outside of a terrarium.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WE ARE NATURE.
We are a part of this massive ecosystem. And when we give in and surrender to it,
we thrive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have created this online program that helps you to integrate plant medicine and holistic life lessons (and with a little bit of magic, heehee) into a monthly and seasonal flow. Each month focuses on a different aspect – for example, September is all about changing the energy from hot outward action to cooling inward focus. We begin to recognize that we need to work on self care before the stress of the holiday season sneaks upon us. We will be create sacred space, learning about herbal infused oils, and burning aromatics. There is also a nutrition component that we will focus on each month, as well.

"As we look deeply into the activities of the natural world in August, we see the energy of ripening and fruition take hands with the energy of death and decay; together they dance the dance which begins to bring autumn into being." ~Judith Berger, Herbal Rituals
.
.
As we flow through the wheel of the year, it is so important to take note of the way each month makes us feel. What is happening and what should we be doing? What does August feel like? To me, it's sticky hot, lots of frenzied energy as people are transitioning from summer to school year, and the harvest! Everything is bursting. Fruits and veggies are ripe, flowers are supple blessing us with fragrant air.
.
.
.
Starting this month, I am going to do a study on the energy and a few plants associated with that particular month. If you are interested in joining in, I would love to share with you. I will be offering August's study free and each subsequent month is only $12. Send me a dm with your email address if you are interested in more information!

After a few days of rain, I was finally able to give my tulsi (holy basil) a nice trim! Tulsi is quite possibly my favorite plant to work with (though I have been known to say this about other herbs as well!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tulsi has a laundry list of amazing properties~ranging fro immune-modulating to adaptogenic~it's also great for fighting bacteria and viruses, soothing respiratory ailments, reducing stress, and inflammation, and much more! It's consider sacred in India and is the embodiment of the Goddess Lakshmi. I once spoke to the owner of an Indian shop here in town about tulsi, and he told me that they literally use it for everything.
This batch will first be made into a pot of tea for me (always must be done!) and then I will preserve the rest in tincture form and dry what I can for future tea blends.
