BULK // Going back to raw herb formulas at home. After years of being on again & off again of herbs and supplements in various pill and liquid forms, for convenience mostly since half my time is spent running after 2 young children, it feels like going home to put together a proper bulk herb formula for myself. Though they may take more time and thought to prepare (maybe this is a good thing when we are trying to bring forth health!), they are more potent than what we call “patents” - pre-made pill and capsule forms. Pretty too! My body has been reaching out to me… trying to tell me something lately. Trying my best to make space & fully listen. 🌱.

FIRE CIDER —-> Watch the story today for step by step action making this batch. Fire Cider is a great home remedy for colds/sniffles/flu symptoms/sinus congestion/ body aches and chills that come during the winter season and school year. It’s also just a great immune tonic you can take in small doses to help prevent seasonal sickness. Horseradish is the primary star of this remedy and you can smell the healing pungency of this root when you cut it open - it’s amazing. One of nature’s gifts to us. Save a small inch or two of it for juicing or vitamixing when you really need help opening your sinuses. 😊.

There are a handful of bulk healing herbs I always keep in the kitchen. Chamomile flowers, lavender, licorice root, lemon balm, goji berries (gou qi zi in Chinese medicine) are what is shown here today. Besides being beautiful & versatile, they remind me that our food can be so much more than just calories that give us fuel. It can be healing and life-enhancing. Having herbs within an arm’s reach makes it easy to remember this truth and implement it. Adventure to your local herb shop or try @mountainroseherbs online to start building your medicine kitchen. ❤️. 📷by @heathergallagher.photography

A medicine kitchen doesn’t have to be extensive, fancy, or complicated. Some bulk herbs, fresh ginger, turmeric & garlic, some good raw honey, apple cider vinegar, a few superfoods to alternate here and there. There are many expensive & trendy products out there that could make really useful additions to your pantry, but they are nothing compared to simply making sure the foods you buy and cook with on a daily basis are nourishing and health-promoting instead of health-sabotaging. Nothing in this picture costs more than $10. Start with some basics and build as your life allows. ❤️.
