Soulstice Herbals

The green plants bring healing to us, as we remember and share their heritage. The roots and the berries and the shoots can heal, if we let them and learn their ways. Soulstice Herbals is rooted in all these: The solstices and equinoxes, the four seasons, moon herbals, the four directions, the four Ayurvedic constitutions and the four elements of earth, fire, water and air. Join me here to share in, and learn to remember together the healing and joy of seasonal herbalism.

Beginners Herbal Apothecary Cupboard

I will be teaching an upcoming class at our local library, on how to begin to prepare wild medicinals and stock one's own Wild Medicinal Apothecary Cupboard.

There are some basic herbal medicines, herbs, and preparations that I feel no self-created, properly stocked apothecary cupboard should be without. And, so, I have listed the 'very' basics below.

I will be adding more information to this Beginner's Cupboard, so stay tuned here.

•Mullein (Dried)

•Nettles (Dried and Pickled)

•Motherwort (Dried and Tinctured)
