Fire Cider for Winter Wellness

Each November, as we ease into Winter, I prep a batch of homemade fire cider for my family. While you can typically find pre-made fire cider, it is such an easy and fun recipe to make yourself. This spicy vinegar infusion supports the immune system, stimulates digestion, and clears congestion. It is a great thing to keep on hand this winter.

Flower Essences for Your Emotional Health

Flower essences are a form of energetic medicine, much like acupuncture, the chakras and homeopathy. Flower essences often find their way into my treatment plans because so often our emotional health is left out of the conversation. These plant remedies are a profound and gentle way to care for your own emotional health.
