Sacred Waters — Womb Healing Blend
Rose · Mugwort · Lady’s Mantle · Nettle
A deeply nourishing herbal blend to honour the sacred waters within, the portal of the womb. This blend can be used for womb steaming, infusions, and smoke cleansing.
Womb Steam Instructions
Place a small handful, roughly 1-2 tablespoons, into a bowl or pot of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled slightly, test with your wrist, remove the lid, squat or sit over the bowl, drape yourself in a blanket or shawl to hold the steam, and allow it to rise. Steam for 10-20 minutes.
Rose softens the heart and brings loving awareness to the womb space. Mugwort is the dreaming plant, the blood-mover, the threshold guardian. Lady’s Mantle is sacred to the goddess, the alchemist’s herb, supporting uterine tone and the rhythms of the sacred feminine. Nettle nourishes deeply, mineral rich and strengthening.
All herbs are home-grown, wild-foraged, or organically sourced.
This blend contains Mugwort, a potent uterine stimulant not suitable for use during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and would like a womb-safe blend without Mugwort, please get in touch and I will make something for you.
GREEN EVERLASTING — Winter Solstice Herbal Blend
A verdant, enlivening blend of holly, bay, spruce, and Scots pine, created in honour of the winter solstice.
This is a ceremonial and medicinal blend for the deepest, darkest time of year — one that brings the light of the sun into the body, connects the drinker with the fire in their own heart, opens the heart space, and roots down into the earth. Deeply healing, nourishing, and awakening on every level.
The spruce comes from fallen boughs in an ancient woodland. The holly from beloved trees in the same place. Bay from the cottage garden, Scots pine from the local woodland. Each herb is dried in the traditional manner and blended by hand into a fragrant, potent infusion that is rich in natural vitamin C, anti-inflammatory, wonderful for coughs and colds, and deeply balancing to body, mind, and spirit.
It is strong — a teaspoon per cup is all you need, perhaps less depending on your taste. Let it steep, breathe in the forest, and drink slowly.
All Wild Folk Apothecary offerings are made within sacred space, in deep reverence and reciprocal relationship with the plants. The herbs are spoken to, thanked, and invited into the work — and in return, they bring a deeper power to everything they touch.
Perfect.
MUGWORT ~ MOVEMENT MEDICINE Infused Herbal Body Oil
Mugwort is the threshold guardian, the one who stands at the edge of waking and dreaming, toning the veils between states and helping us to see with our inner eyes. She has a profound affinity with the nervous system, moving through tension and stagnation and drawing the body back into flow.
Made in ceremony using wild-foraged mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and organic cold-pressed olive and sunflower oils. Infused on my altar with reverence.
No essential oils.
To use; massage where needed. Particularly helpful to relieve tension in the neck, shoulders, and face. Use on soles of the feet for deep and transformative healing and deep dreaming at night. Anoint, use in ceremony or as directed by spirit.
Use this oil when you are in need of deep shifts in body, mind, and spirit, movement medicine, deep healing, and to relieve tension and pain. It is incredible for the relief of headaches and migraines when massaged into the neck and shoulders. Apply generously over womb space to relieve menstrual cramps. For nerve pain and nervous exhaustion rub into the feet, hands, and temples, and wherever feels right. Allow the spirit of mugwort to speak through the oil and relax into her messages.
Bone-Deep Healing Oil
A deeply healing, pain-relieving, and anti-inflammatory oil with a bright verdant scent and the energies of wild flowing water.
Infused with wild-foraged comfrey, nettle, and organic burdock root, this oil moves through the body the way water does, finding the still places and softening them, encouraging the return of flow.
Comfrey is the great mender, the blueprint restorer of bones, ligaments, broken bonds, and the unseen fractures we carry in our tissues and energies. Nettle stirs the blood, relieves pain, and gently energises where there has been stagnancy. Burdock clears the pathways of the lymph, helping the body carry away what it no longer needs. Each herb is double infused by hand into organic cold-pressed olive oil. The scent is verdant, cucumber fresh, and quietly uplifting.
Use for joint pain, inflammation, skin, bone and tissue healing, or the daily anointing of places that feel heavy or tight. Especially supportive for the lymphatic system, massage gently into the neck, underarms, groin, or behind the knees to encourage flow.
As you apply this balm call to the spirit of water and ask for movement, for release, for the gentle return of flow. Speak to the plants. Ask for what you need, and offer thanks in return.
Ingredients: Organic cold-pressed olive oil, handmade extracts of wild-foraged comfrey (Symphytum officinalis), nettle leaf, stem and seed (Urtica dioica), organic burdock root (Arctium lappa), essential oils of lemon, rose geranium, and violet leaf absolute.

Directions
Infuse 1 tbsp per cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Drink warm and with intention.
Lime flower or Linden Blossom
is calming and relaxing, and is useful for high blood pressure and angina because its hypotensive effects dilate the blood vessels.
Linden is anti-spasmodic and diaphoretic, meaning that it can be used to induce sweat and break a fever. It opens the energetic and physical heart and relieves pressure on the chest and heart space.
Linden is wonderful for nervous tension, stress, anxiety, and all related conditions. This fragrant herb represents the active essence of love; compassion and caring. She is the nurturing mother, healing, protective, and focused on true heart energy.
Lemon balm (Melissa)
is an excellent herb for the nervous system which eases the heart on every level, eases digestion and soothes menstrual problems.
Melissa brings a sense of peace and calm to all things and is also a fantastic antiviral. She clears the mind, helps in meditation, and aids in the retention of knowledge. She has an affinity with the heart chakra and is said to produce prophetic dreams.
Chamomile
is a healer of all things, even the plants who grow around her. She is soothing and calming in all ways and to all bodily systems and energies. She is gentle yet powerful, and a wonderful herbal ally to revere and respect.

All of the items within my shop are made within sacred space in deep reverence and connection. I give thanks to the herbs and communicate with them about what I am making and my intentions. I have built up a strong reciprocal relationship with my local flora over the years and find them supportive of my endeavours to share the mystery and magic of plant medicine with other seekers on the path.
My creations are now being used in therapeutic sessions by practitioners to help their clients tap into the deeper wisdom held within their bodies through the magic of wild plant medicine and connecting with the plant spirits. The feedback I have received is that my creations have an even deeper power, potency and resonance in a therapeutic environment when further combined with intentional healing. If you are a practitioner and would like to commission a specific balm or oil for use within your practice, or would like to order a personal batch please get in touch and we can discuss possibilities. I am always governed by seasonality, availability and intention. My offerings are not available for large scale commercial selling or businesses which do not align truly with nature.

Comfrey is a magical healer, restoring the blueprint of the body and effecting nourished and rooted healing. Her leaves and roots are carried for safety and good health while travelling or away from home.
How to use:
For meditation, divination and journeying:
Apply a few drops over soles of feet, heartspace, and pulse points. Relax and allow the herbs to root and ground you down into the earth, connecting your core to the core of the nourishing and supportive Earth. See, feel, or sense these roots growing and growing, reaching deep down into the place of pure potential and perpetual growth.
As medicine:
Apply the oil liberally to the soles of the feet and massage, and/or over the heart area on the front and back of the body. Breathe deeply, allow the medicine to work on your physical and energetic bodies to effect rooting, grounding and surrender. Therapeutically this oil can uplift tired and aching feet, wounds that will not heal, improves all issues related to feet and a lack of grounding or fear of moving forward, and helps to settle and feel at home in the body. This is a wonderful medicine to use during colds and fevers as a natural support to the healing processes of the body. I put it on my children's feet and it soothes and supports them during times of dis-ease.
