What do you reach for when the kids come in from o What do you reach for when the kids come in from outside, all bruised and scraped up?
I keep calendula oil on hand for these moments (among many others!), and it is one of the first first-aid oils I reach for to soothe summer boo-boos. 
Calendula is wonderfully soothing for irritated, tender skin, and making it yourself will mean you have enough of it on hand to use it the way it was meant to be used.
Herbal oils are my go-to home remedy. They are easy, inexpensive, and you can have success right off the bat. When you have a trusted remedy that you made yourself, something you feel connected to, your whole orientation to taking care of your family shifts. There is just a peace of mind that comes with that.
Calendula oil helps with pain, inflammation, swelling, and bruising from all the things summer brings. And once you know how to make it correctly, you will always have it ready when you need it.
My free Calendula Oil-Making Workshop is where you start.

Calendula oil is the hero of my apothecary! I rem Calendula oil is the hero of my apothecary!
I remember the first time I made calendula oil and put it on a wound that had been stubbornly refusing to heal. Within days, the skin looked completely different. Not because calendula is magic but because it does what skin needs when it has been through something hard. It works with the skin instead of just sitting on top of it, rebuilds what was damaged, and calms everything that is still inflamed and irritated on the surface.
Most people reach for aloe, coconut oil, or whatever is in the medicine cabinet when their skin needs help after a summer of sun, heat, and outdoor exposure. Those things help, but calendula oil is in a completely different category. It is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, deeply moisturizing, and one of the safest herbs for even the most sensitive skin in your family (except for those sensitive to the Daisy family).
The version you make at home is nothing like what you find in a store. Most store-bought products do not have enough of the herb to do what calendula is capable of, and once you make it yourself, you will understand why it has been a staple in my home apothecary for close to 40 years.
This is the oil I want every family to have in their apothecary, and my free Calendula Oil-Making Workshop is where to start.

You want lots of lavender oil in your apothecary. You want lots of lavender oil in your apothecary. Why not make it yourself?
There is something about making your own lavender oil that changes how you think about taking care of yourself. The smell alone starts working on your nervous system before you even put it on your skin.
Lavender is anti-inflammatory. It relaxes the muscles, it helps with headaches, and it really does live up to its reputation as the great relaxer and healer. But there is a difference between knowing that and having a jar of it sitting in your apothecary, made by your own hands.
That is the shift that happens when you learn to make your own herbal oils. You stop reaching for things off a shelf and start reaching for something you trust completely because you know exactly what went into it.
This summer, your family deserves the highest-quality lavender oil you can make, and I want to show you how.

Summer means sunburns, bug bites, and scraped knee Summer means sunburns, bug bites, and scraped knees, and I handle all three with one oil.
My son came in from outside once with all three at the same time. I did not go to the medicine cabinet. I went to my apothecary and reached for my lavender oil. One oil for all three things, and it worked on all three.
That is what it means to have a home apothecary that works. Not a shelf full of single-use products but one deeply medicinal oil your family reaches for all summer long.
Lavender oil soothes sunburned skin, heals cuts and scrapes, calms bug bites and bee stings, eases tension headaches, and supports restful sleep. Gentle enough for kids and powerful enough for everything summer brings.
What most people do not know is that the lavender oil you make at home is far more potent than anything you can buy, and most people are only getting 80% of its healing potential because of how they were taught to make it.
I have been making herbal oils for more than 35 years. There is a right way to do this, and once you learn it, you will never go back to guessing.

Your teapot gets more use than your social calenda Your teapot gets more use than your social calendar, and that’s exactly how you like it. 🌿
There is something deeply satisfying about making your own cup of herbal tea. It’s simple, comforting, and one of the easiest ways to care for yourself.
But here’s the thing. Most people were never taught how to make herbal tea that is full of flavor and truly medicinal. A few small changes can make the difference between a weak cup that gets forgotten and one you’ll reach for again and again.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn in Herbal Tea 101. You’ll discover how to brew teas that taste better, extract more of the plant’s goodness, and become part of your everyday routine.
🌿 Comment HT101 and I’ll send you the details while the special pricing is still available.
💚 Save this for the next time you’re wondering what to brew.
🍵 Share it with the friend who’s always got a mug of tea in hand.
