A spring oxymel with Nettle, Dandelion, Burdock, Red Clover, Violets + Monarda. Very yummy + versatile spring tonic with plants rich in minerals + vitamins, working together to cleanse, nourish + build blood, support digestion, detoxification, liver, skin, boost immunity, move lymphatic congestion + stagnation,and sweep the channels of elimination.
Beloved Nettle. Lush green goodness. Nettle is one of the most precious, nutritious, mineral and chlorophyll rich plants, popping up in Aries Szn, blood building, cleansing + purifying,. Nettle strengthens the connective tissues, bones + nourishes the body on a cellular level. They are often worked with for inflammatory skin conditions + seasonal allergies or hayfever, helping clear inflammation in the head,sinuses and regulate histamine levels ( more so alc extract). Nettles are ultímate spring tonic, one of my fav medicines + food. They are lovely in soups, pestos or infused into salts. I love working with Nettles year round, but their medicine in early spring is so good, esp. as overnight infusion for detoxification, cleansing the body + blood of toxins and metabolic waste after winter szn. Each sip is so nourishing + satisfying. I always make sure I have saved enough Nettles for the year, so I can continue working with them throughout the year esp in times when I feel depleted or deficient.
Dandelion is one of the most resilient plants, often growing through the cracks of pavements thriving in poor conditions pulling nutrients from the Earth thanks to their deep tap roots. Dandelion are truly one of the most powerful bitter tonic medicines, very often misunderstood. To me they bring me back into the present moment, anchor me in the body. In the now. I love theses bright yellow flowers and work with them often, similarly young leaves are amazing in salads + broths, roasted dandelion root is one of my fav beverages & coffee alternative, also rich in prebiotic fibers that support healthy gut micro biome. In this oxymel we are working with the whole plant, flowers, leaves + roots to clear excess fluids, support liver detox, bile production, digestion, gut integrity, kidneys, lymphatic drainage + support immune system.
Burdock has such a grounding presence and also one of my fav root medicines, esp love them decocted together with Dandelion. I harvested the root last year and was blown away by a very long and thick taproot anchored deep into the Earth. This spring szn Burdock is starting to emerge from a bit of root I left, as I couldn’t get deep enough to harvest all ! They are beautiful spring medicine harmonising to the digestive system, help to clear winter stagnation, stimulate the liver, bile, cleanse + purify the blood of toxins, open the channels of elimination + support movement of the fluids. Wonderful for the skin, nourishing + moisturising from within, supportive for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema or acne. Burdock contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber that nourishes gut microbiome and feeds beneficial gut bacteria
Monarda, Bee Balm added them into this oxymel simply because I love the flavour and to help sweep channels of elimination. Monarda moves what is stagnant, mucus in the lungs or sinuses, sluggish digestion, or heavy, stuck energy in the body. Her warmth spreads from the core to the periphery, bringing movement and release. Her flowers, leaves, and stems carry potent medicine with an affinity for the respiratory, digestive, urinary + nervous systems. Monarda is esp. supportive during chest infections, helping to relax the lungs and break up mucus.
Red Clover + Violets for lymphatic stagnation, congestion + movement, blood cleansing + purification. helpful with reducing excess heat + dryness within the tissues.
Refrigerate upon arrival and use w/in 6 months. Work with this oxymel daily taking 1-2 dropperfulls directly in mouth or add to warm or sparkling water, broths or drizzle on salads. Oxymels are beautiful + versatile medicines. The name comes from Greek : oxy meaning acid + mel meaning honey. Just on their own they have many healing benefits like immune, respiratory, digestive or inflammation modulating. They act as prebiotic and encourage beneficial bacteria for the gut, adding herbs boosts Oxymels benefits, depending what we want to achieve.
Ingredients: Nettle, Dandelion, Burdock, Red Clover, Violet, Monarda, Organic ACV + local raw honey.
