Now is the time to cuddle up with a cup of herbal tea to warm you and keep your immune system strong and steady. Are you ready to receive the potent medicine and sturdy support from healing herbs?

In today's blog and episode of apothecary wisdom, I am sharing with you 4 of my favorite immune-boosting herbal teas for the cold and flu season.  I personally formulated these blends for very specific reasons. One is a general immune tea, and the other is to dry up wet coughs, the other is to moisten a dry cough, and the last one is to keep you feeling nourished, strong emotionally, and energetically stable.

 At some point in our lives, we all face moments where our efforts don’t yield the outcomes we so deeply desired. Maybe you poured yourself into a career, invested your heart into a relationship, dreamed of a specific outcome in pregnancy, or even hoped for change in a cultural or political sphere. Despite our best efforts and intentions, sometimes things simply don’t go our way.

When life unfolds this way, we’re left with two options: to resist what is, or to accept the reality in front of us. Acceptance, however, doesn’t mean suppressing our pain; it means acknowledging the loss of our envisioned outcome and allowing ourselves to feel grief. Grieving what "could have been" helps us honor our efforts, dreams, and hopes rather than bury them away.

The medicinal qualities of thyme are no secret. For thousands of years, it has been a megastar of the herb world, cultivated by ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians alike. In many of these empires, it was thought to act as an antidote for poison if ingested or bathed with. In this era, thyme was also thought to provide protection, courage, and strength. 

 By integrating thyme into our routines – as teas, tinctures, or culinary herbs – we’re connecting with centuries of healing traditions that support our health and well-being in modern thymes.

I’m thrilled to share something special with you today: our brand-new Herbal Materia Medica and Product Catalog! It's filled with everything you need to know about our products, the herbs we love, and how to work with them safely and effectively.

This catalog is more than just a list of products—it’s an educational resource that dives deep into the heart of herbalism from the lens of the Wise Woman Tradition, something that I can’t fully express on big marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, or Etsy. As you may know, those platforms are great for selling, but they don’t allow me to share the kind of rich, in-depth information I feel is essential for you to make empowered choices about your health and wellness.
