This seasons batch of bath herbs and facial steam turned out beautiful.
.
Throughout the summer I watch and wait, pick, and wait some more. Harvesting only when the plant is at its prime and can offer the strongest medicine, this process has made me a better listener.
.
With the gardens at rest, I walk into the herb kitchen and notice an absence of the hum typically coming from the dehydrator. The quiet air leaving room for a pause. .
What a gift it is to have these herbs preserved for the long winter months.
.
Blended with herbs for nutritive relaxation, beauty and inner peace. The perfect reset after a long day.
.
How do you use herbs in your self care routine?

Are you feeling the pull of Libra season?
.
For me it has given the gentle reminder to slow production and relish in everyday beauty.
.
I sip coffee on the porch and absorb the view of the crisp autumnal sunrise. The light showing me a barrage of delicate spiderwebs blanketing the garden.
.
Our first frosty mornings have a chill that can reach the bone. I’m grateful for the soft friendship of the dog that lies half asleep on my feet.
.
Libra season is a time to focus on balance, beauty and harmony. Ruled by Venus, she encourages us to tend to our interpersonal relationships and invest in our passions.
.
My favorite herbal ally for this time: the rose.
.
Incorporate rose into your every day life by adding clipped rose hips to your autumn table or alter. Take time for yourself and add Rose to your self care ritual. Try placing some petals in a facial steam. Soak in the beauty. Your beauty.
.
Luxurious Rose Oil, and Rose essential oil available @bhamfarmersmkt on Saturday. Our best selling Rose Face Cream available on our website. 👉🏻https://www.birchwoodbotanicals.com/store/herbal-facial-care/

“Decline is also a form of voluptuousness, just like growth. Autumn is just as sensual as springtime. There is as much greatness in dying as in procreation” ~Iwan Goll
.
The atumn equinox is here with her perfectly balanced light. All around us gardens are bursting with fruit and decaying crops. As they lay down their bodies to provide protection and nutrients to the next generation of plants, we reap the harvest.
.
I take this cue as a time to reflect on my personal harvests and present imbalances. Where have I been successful this season? Where do I need to adjust course?
.
Less growth isn’t dormancy. Not just yet.
.
I remind myself to use the remaining daylight, honor aging, and the cyclical nature of abundance by dressing my dinning table with gords, pumpkins and blushing rosehips.
.
There is much to do to prepare the garden for winter. But tonight I pause. Sit in the balance at hand and raise a toast to what has been achieved.
.
Blessed autumn to you.🍁🍂🍁

As the garden begins to show undoubtable signs of fall I am feeling my sense of time heighten.
.
Not quite time to post up and reflect on the seasons lessons. Not time to put her to bed. Not enough time to soak in the last of the summer magic.
.
Before the autumn season kicks into full swing and brings bitterness to your kitchen herbs, I encourage you to take Thyme.
.
Take Thyme for yourself.
.
Dry it, and use it as an aid in treating winter coughs.
.
Are you working toward a goal that feels unattainable? Thyme can be an ally in boosting your courage to continue and in dispelling negativity you may feel about your progress.
.
Thyme room spray is amazing practical magic for cleansing the kind of negativity that is hard to shake. Antibacterial, and antifungal, this also serves to clean your space as we face cold and flu season.
.
No time to make your own room spray? Message for details about our proprietary Clean and Refresh Spray.

Calendula. One of my dearest companions in the herb garden.
.
Throughout the growing season she provides many many blooms. Even if I tried to harvest them all, I couldn’t.
.
Daily picking tickles my arms with bees and leaves my fingers sticky with healing resin. The soft floral scent brings back memories of my daughters, the snap of each head pulls me back to the moment.
.
I pick only the biggest open blooms for teas and the magical calendula oil that is used in many of our products.
.
Topical healing properties aside, this plant has long been a symbol of courage and endurance. She can also serve as a beacon of hope when you are experiencing grief or the loss of love. Calendula radiates the joy of the summer sun and reminds me to relish in the warmth of August before it is too late.
.
Fresh calendula oil in its pure form, as well as our signature farm to skin Calendula salve is available today at the Bellingham Farmers Market Flower Festival.
Inside the pavilion, 10-3.

An herb to know. Monarda, or Bee Balm.
.
This lovely perennial is common in pollinator and shady gardens, but did you know that it is also a powerful medicinal plant?
.
When taken internally this herb can be soothing to the digestive tract and very helpful in the treatment of colds.
.
I personally reach for Bee Balm when I need an ally for easing chronic stress or in tapering an anxiety flair.
.
If the fresh plant is available to you try making an herbal vinegar out of it, or sprinkle the striking petals onto a salad.
.
Dried, as well as fresh, leaves and flowers make a beautiful aromatic tea that tastes like garden magic.
.
Maybe because it is. ✨🌱✨

The blackberry reminds me to pay attention to areas in my life where unnecessary haste might be causing me harm.
.
If I approach with patience, kindness, and a willingness to respect prickly boundaries, I am rewarded with an abundance of sweet succulent berries. If however, I choose to approach the thicket with a mindset of speed and greed I will leave with scratched arms, a torn dress and a basket full of tart sour berries.
.
Take heart when bringing this PNW gem into your own kitchen. Pay attention to what berries the plant is ready to give and you will reap a sweet harvest.
.
High in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. The berries make an amazing syrup used similarly to an elderberry syrup during cold and flu season.
.
A member of the rose family, this plant is used in both abundance and boundary setting magic.
.
How do you use blackberries in your kitchen?
.
⚠️If at all possible, avoid picking in places where harmful chemicals may have been applied to the landscape. ⚠️

Chamomile, one of the strongest plant allies for our courageous Leos.
.
This golden beauty is ruled by the sun, and is famous for its ability to calm the spirit as well as the digestive system.
.
In folklore, this herb has been used to promote prosperity and combat curses.
.
Perfect for encouraging a sense of wellbeing. Try working with this herb by brewing a sun tea or creating a foot soak.
.
Inspired by Leo season, and the stress of summer, I recently created a Chamomile and Lavender bath salt blend. Very small quantities available. Message for details.
