Hi Friend!
​

The wink wink canadian wildfire smoke has been pretty intense here today, so I thought I’d share what I’m doing to support my body during all of this and honestly trying not to freak out!

🍵 Today I’m brewing a tea with:

• Dandelion root

• Burdock root

• Mint

• Lemon balm

• A few other herbs for flavor

Once it’s cooled a bit, I’ll stir in some of my honey.

My favorite way to brew herbal tea: Bring water to a boil, turn the heat off, add your herbs, cover, and let steep for at least 15 minutes (longer is perfectly fine).

Along with tea, I’m personally using tinctures of:

• Violet

• Dandelion

• Burdock

• Nettle

• Mullein

I’m also taking my Drainage Tone and activated charcoal as part of my own wellness routine. With everything going on, I’m also reaching for herbs that traditionally support a calm mind, like motherwort and St. John’s wort.

The smoke, constant news, and uncertainty can be stressful, and I think caring for our emotional well-being is just as important as caring for our physical health.

This is simply what I’m doing and sharing what works for me. It’s not medical advice, and I always encourage you to do your own research and make the decisions that are best for you and your family.

Old fashioned ways in a modern world. 🌿

Warmly,
– Laura
