today i’m off to visit the Etsy Hudson office, to talk about working from a self-care standpoint and build with them a custom apothecary… so they can take good care of themselves while at work! we spend so many hours at work every day, that it’s a wonder why there aren’t more wellness sections in the workplace to support us, nourish us and appreciate us and our hard work. taking your daily tonic, taking a break to make yourself and your coworkers tea, and have something nourishing, locally grown, hand made and non-toxic on hand for headaches and other acute ailments, is incredible! good job, Etsy, for taking care of yourselves! and thank you for giving this community herbalist a wonderful experience.
will keep y’all posted on how the Etsy Hudson Apothecary & Self Care Station develops and gets installed!

seems like everyone has a cold these days… the seasons are shifting so suddenly, the darkness is longer than light, and our immune systems are waxing and waning like that big, bright, beautiful moon. it’s time to carry our herbal armor and remember to sleep well, eat well and work on reducing the stressors we carry.
because folks i live and work with around me have been sick this week, i’ve carried these tools with me :
* garlic oil!
i finely mince a head of garlic, cover it with olive oil and add a pinch of salt. i spread it on anything and everything i eat; it’s a delicious, natural antibiotic treat.
* ginger tea!
a classic immune stimulating concoction that has kept me strong this week. i finely chop or grate a 2 inch wedge of ginger and simmer in about a quart of water for a good 20 minutes. after straining, i add a pinch of cayenne, some lemon juice and honey. i’ve drank about 2-3 cups / day this week and have staved off (so far!) a cold i thought i was coming down with.
* warm salt water gargle!
yep, does the trick every time. once you feel that tickle coming on, get gargling. it surely helps.
* cold season support tincture!
i take 30 drops 3 x day of astragalus / elderberry / echinacea tincture blend to build my immunity during this seasonal transition, when i know my immunity is usually lowered.
what are your favorite herbal tools for the cold & flu season?

Nettles : Urtica Dioica
Welcome, Spring! I didn’t believe you wouldn’t come, but for a minute there, I wasn’t sure when you’d arrive. I’m so glad you’re here!
And with you, come Nettles… Spring’s mighty tonic, wild edible, medicinal food of my dreams. Also known as Stinging Nettles, these plants have stinging hairs growing on the undersides of their leaves and along their fibrous stalks, that have long been used to promote circulation and relieve joint and arthritic pain.
Rich in iron and packed with vitamins and minerals, Nettles is an incredible food. It is delicious steamed or sauteed, and when cooked, loses its stinging capacity, so don’t you worry! I recommend harvesting and drying Nettles for tea as well.
I will be offering fresh Nettle tops at market throughout the season as well as dried Nettle tea, so look out for me!
Today’s market is at Christ Church on 4th & Union in Hudson, NY from 10am-1pm. See you there!

pheasants have the most gorgeous feathers, full of interlocking colors and textures that alone are not as gorgeous as they are when together… friends of the farm came by with around 200 or so birds, which we spent the morning butchering and cleaning. a rod & gun club nearby shoots these pheasants for sport, leaving them to rot in the fields, a most wasteful act. our friends gleaned the birds and brought them by to share, so they’re resource could be properly utilized. for this, i am grateful.
