Start collecting your cold and flu remedies before Start collecting your cold and flu remedies before you need them. 🌿 Here’s another one to add to your home apothecary: Rosemary Tea.
Rosemary is so familiar that it’s easy to overlook as a home remedy. Most of us already have it in the kitchen, and during cold and flu season, that’s exactly where I want my herbs. Close at hand and easy to use.
Rosemary is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal, and it’s also a wonderful circulatory stimulant. It gets the blood moving and brings that warming, stimulating quality that makes it one of my favorite herbs to reach for preventatively and right at the first signs of a cold. I’ve always taught that herbs work best when you know how to use them early, before something has a chance to really settle in.
For this tea, I use a generous amount of rosemary and give it time to steep. It’s simple, strong, and a great example of how much medicine can be sitting right there in your spice cupboard or growing outside your door.

This is one of those jars you should make before y This is one of those jars you should make before you need it.
I make elderberry cordial every year, and there’s usually a bottle around the house during cold season.
Elderberry is the base, but it’s not the only thing that goes into the jar. I also use calendula, rose hips, orange peel, juniper berries, and ginger, then let everything infuse in brandy before I strain and sweeten it.
One of the things I love about cordials is that they don’t have to stay tucked away in the apothecary. I’ve used them in marinades, desserts, fresh fruit, jams, pie fillings, and other things I’m making in the kitchen.
If you like having herbal preparations made ahead of time, this is a good one to keep in your recipe collection.

What happens when “take this herb for that” stops What happens when “take this herb for that” stops working?
That’s usually the point where you need to learn about yourself before memorizing more plants and what they are “good for.” Comment HEC26 and I’ll send you the link to my friend Rosalee’s free course that will help you sort this out.
I use herbal energetics so much in my home herbalism practice. It gives you another way to look at your choices by bringing your whole self into the picture, not just the problem.
My friend Rosalee de la Forêt is teaching how to work this into your home herbalism in her free Mini Herbal Energetics Course. She’s also sharing her Herbal Energetics Flavor Wheel, a constitutional quiz, and a safety framework you can keep referring back to as you learn.

I don’t use the same herbs all year. As the seaso I don’t use the same herbs all year.
As the seasons change, I pay attention to what’s happening outside and what I’m reaching for in the kitchen.
Fall brings cooler days, drier air, and a different rhythm at home. That’s when warmer drinks, seasonal herbs, and different preparations start making more sense.
Herbal living changes with the season. You can notice what’s shifting and let that guide what you bring into your kitchen.
🍂 What herbs do you find yourself reaching for more in the fall? Share them in the comments.

Carrots, rutabagas, turnips, onions, parsnips, celery root, and winter squash are all perfect for a simple roasted vegetable tray.
Finish them with a drizzle of Alchemy Oil and the whole dish comes together with more flavor from the herbs and spices in the oil.
It’s simple, seasonal, and easy to make part of a fall meal. Chop, roast, drizzle. Is your kitchen fall-ready? 
Are your meals medicinal?
