Herbal Elixirs

St. John’s Wort, Calendula, Comfrey and Yerba Mansa infused sunflower oil have been used by our ancient grannies and grandaddies for their medicinal properties since time immemorial. This salve encompasses the gentle and effective props of plants in a shmeer.

Viruses are hella tricky. Science considers viri as just kinda alive, like half made robot creatures that need our cells to exist. Viruses are truly unique beings, their own branch on the tree of life. As an herbalist, my relationship to plant medicine is like a marriage. Like any marriage, it comes with in-laws: pathogens and pain. Bru-tal.

Yet working to understand the in-laws, no matter how unsavory, is a path to understanding your life love.

Infections, like your mother in-law, have a lot to say. Listening gives insight into treatment, like choosing appropriate herbs or never, ever bringing up taking the plastic off the living room furniture.

Here is where I fall in love with plant medicine all over again.

Phytochemistry aka plant chemistry got its own ancient wisdom. Licorice and lemon balm put the smack down on viri getting a foothold in our precious cells. They’re like professional finger prayers when viri got a grip. Myrrh stimulates immune cell activity, empowering our own bod to kick out unwelcome guests.

Entering Cold Sore Killa, a tincture combining powers of all three plants. Drop a few drops on your ‘sore throughout the day.

Safe to ingest.

- High proof spirits*

If you’re looking to add an herbal dimension to your basic first aid kit, let me introduce the Bite & Burn Spray! Mild burns and insect bites can be given a quick spritz to aid in pain and faster recovery of your ow-ified skin. Witch hazel contains tannins which help the skin to tighten and therefore reduce swelling and pain and promote faster healing of broken skin. Witch hazel also acts as an antimicrobial, sending opportunistic bacteria on their way.

Fat and the Moon's yarrow hydrosol bring the first aid properties of the plant. Along with being astringent and antimicrobial, yarrow aids the skin in minimizing scarring and inflammation. Lavender and tea tree essential oil also act as antimicrobials as well as anti-inflammatories and antiseptics.

But let’s not focus on their ‘anti’ side too much, because all of the ingredients in the Bite & Burn Spray are way pro-healing.

Side note: for all burns, don’t apply any kind of ointment when you are first burned as it will trap in the ‘heat’ and your burn can get more serious. Give a good Bite & Burn spritz to the area and let dry, after a day you can apply ointment to mend your skin.

1 fl oz 

- distilled water

- F&M's yarrow hydrosol

- witch hazel extract*

- lavender essential oil*

- tea tree essential oil*
