Bone-Deep Healing Balm
This is the creation I am most proud of. A water-energy balm born of deep herbal knowledge and genuine love, made to bring movement, freedom, and healing to the joints, the lymphatic system, and the skin. The response from those who use it daily speaks for itself.
An organic shea butter base is infused with wild-foraged comfrey, nettle, and burdock root — three herbs with a profound and ancient understanding of the body’s deeper waters. Comfrey brings pain relief and anti-inflammatory healing. Nettle stimulates, shifts, and soothes. Burdock is a true ally of the lymphatic system, encouraging flow and relieving congestion where it has stalled. The essential oils of lemon, rose geranium, and violet continue this work, each one supporting lymphatic drainage in its own way.
Buttery and soft, it melts into the skin without grease, absorbing deeply to nourish everything beneath. Its scent is fresh, verdant, and quietly citrus — cucumber bright and alive.
Use it on stiff or inflamed joints, as a deeply nourishing hand and foot cream, or massaged gently onto lymph nodes during times of illness or stagnation. If there is heat in the joints, store it in the fridge and apply cool. If the issue feels cold in nature, warm the balm gently in the palms first.
As you apply it, think of water. Of flow and free movement. Feel the herbs working, ask for their help, 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), and organic burdock root (Arctium lappa), organic shea butter, organic cacao butter, unrefined beeswax, essential oils of organic lemon, rose geranium, and violet.

Wild Yarrow Organic Wildcrafted Lip Balm.
Infused with wild foraged yarrow. Organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is infused with the deeply healing and rejuvenating properties of wild yarrow (Achillea millefolium). The yarrow plants infused into this balm are gathered by hand from the wild meadows, untouched by agricultural chemicals or pollutants.
I work a lot with yarrow, and her deeply resonant strength has revealed itself slowly and with a stable self awareness and balance I would liken to a warrior of sovereign heart.
I have loved yarrow for as long as I can remember, but the depth of her medicine has only become clear to me after spending so much time in her presence.
She heals on every layer of being, old wounds and new, deep fissures and tiny scratches. She tucks her head below the mower blades and thrives in dry and seemingly inhospitable soils.
It is said that evil will not cross a line of yarrow. She is kind and strong, tough and rugged, but has infinite space in her heart to hear your worries and heal your deepest woundings.
Organic extra virgin olive oil is deeply moisturising and healing, and naturally fragrant unrefined beeswax improves skin elasticity and protects from infection.
This lip balm is completely edible (should you wish to eat it), organic, healing, and feels amazing on the lips.
Ingredients; organic extra virgin olive oil infused with wild foraged yarrow, organic cacao butter, unrefined beeswax, vitamin E oil, organic lemon essential oil, rose geranium essential oil.
Into the Underworld — Deep Earth Dreamers Gift Set
This is a gift for going down. Into the body, into the soil, into the dark place where roots meet ancient earth and the earth becomes medicine. Everything in this set has been made to deepen your relationship with the Earth, her living, breathing, ancient presence. For the wanderer, the seeker, the one who needs to come home to themselves.
The Wanderer — Rooted Earth Grounding Foot Balm
There is old medicine in this balm. Plantain, most faithful of wayside healers, draws energy downward, pulling out what does not belong, clearing the path to deep healing, wrapping her quiet protection around the wanderer far from home. Yarrow tends wounds that time alone cannot reach, physical, emotional, carried in the bones, stoking warmth from within and lending her steely, enduring strength. Comfrey works at the level of the blueprint, restoring and rebuilding the body back to its truest form.
Together they ask you to root. To soften into the earth beneath your feet and let it hold you.
For meditation and journeying, apply a pea-sized amount to the soles of the feet, the heartspace, and pulse points. Breathe, surrender, let yourself be drawn downward into the pure potential that lives at the core of the Earth. Feel the roots extending. Feel the ground receiving you.
As everyday medicine, massage liberally into the soles of the feet and over the heart, front and back. This balm will uplift tired and aching feet, support wounds slow to heal, and settle the unease that lives in the body when we feel untethered or afraid to move forward. A faithful companion during colds and fevers, supporting the body’s own healing wisdom.
Nettle Flower and Flint Essence — Transformation · Clarity · Vitality
Essences are water magic in its most subtle form, the energetic imprint of plant, stone, and place, held in sacred water and offered by the drop. They work on the spirit and the emotional body, reaching places that other medicine cannot always touch.
This essence was made with pure natural spring water gathered by hand with reverence for the water spirits and their long journey through the land. The nettle flowers and flint were given to sunlight and then to the light of the full moon.
Nettle flower brings fire. She moves stagnation, clears the path, stokes creative energy and momentum, supports the shedding of all that has been dragging at us. Flint is something older, raw Earth vibration, ancient vitality. Together they cut through fog and root you back into your own knowing.
This essence is for the times of stuckness, of fogginess, of feeling as though something vital has gone quiet inside you.
In acute moments, take one drop into the mouth or onto the skin every fifteen minutes until you feel the energy beginning to shift. For deeper work, one drop four times daily for a month. Held in a 30ml amber glass spray bottle.
Danu — Deep Earth Ritual Oil
Named for the great Earth goddess, she from whom all wisdom, power, and fecundity of the land pours forth, this oil is an invitation to remember what you are made of.
You are not separate from the Earth. You are the Earth, walking. Anoint the body with intention and you make yourself a conscious, sacred part of the Earthly realm. Rich and deep in scent, this is not a fragrance but a ceremony. Apply to the wrists, third eye, and pulse points and let the herbs and oils draw your awareness downward, into the fecund dark, into the ageless wisdom beneath your feet.
Held in a 10ml amber glass roller bottle. For use in meditation, ritual, and ceremony.
Hand-Foraged Suffolk Flint
To hold flint is to feel the memory of the land in your palm. To meditate with it is to go somewhere older than language, into the knowing of the ancestors, the wisdom of deep time, the raw and living intelligence of the Earth herself.

Dreaming & Divination Salve

She embodies the Cailleach — the wise woman, she who sees beyond the veil and returns with messages from other worlds. Made with wild-foraged mugwort and yarrow infused into organic cold-pressed oils and set traditionally with beautifully fragrant beeswax, this is an ointment for those who are ready to go a little further than the ordinary allows.
Mugwort opens the pathways of perception and intuition, supports lucid dreaming and divination, soothes the nervous system, and relieves pain. Yarrow is an herb of air and of flight — feathery and fierce, she bestows courage on those who carry her, protects the traveller between worlds, and is a powerful healer in her own right.
Use in meditation, ceremony, journeying, divinatory practice, or before sleep with intention. Equally wonderful applied as a healing rub for pain relief and relaxation, and particularly supportive massaged over the wombspace and lower back during your bleed.
Apply to the soles of the feet, the heart space, and the palms of the hands before journeying. Anoint the temples and third eye before sleep or divination.

Beeswax
Shea butter
Vitamin E oil
Essential oils of peppermint and rosemary
How to use:
For meditation, divination and journeying:
Apply a pea-sized amount 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 balm 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 balm 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.
DEEP CLEAN & NOURISH CLEANSING BALM
A rich, organic cleansing balm that melts into the skin, dissolving makeup and impurities while delivering deep, softening nourishment. Water-free and made with organic oils and butters infused with skin-loving herbs, it cleanses without stripping — leaving skin supple, fresh, and quietly glowing.
Lavender, chamomile, and rosemary are slow-infused into organic olive and sunflower oils and raw shea butter, then deepened with essential oils of cypress and rosemary. The result is a cleanser that feels more like a ritual than a routine.
Take a small amount and massage gently into the face and neck. Breathe deeply and allow the herbs to work. Remove with a warm, wet cloth.
For a deeper cleanse, mix equal parts of this balm with the Cleansing Powder to create a gentle exfoliating scrub. Rinse, then remove with a warm cloth. Follow with the Brightening Serum, allow it to sink in for 5 to 10 minutes, then finish with the Beauty Balm.
Ingredients: Organic extra virgin olive oil, organic cold-pressed sunflower oil, organic raw shea butter, herbal extracts of lavender, chamomile and rosemary, essential oils of cypress and rosemary.
A super-moisturising organic reddish pink tinted balm with a naturally derived pinky red tint for lips and cheeks. Made with wild alkanet root, wild indigo root, madder root, and organic cold pressed olive oil. Thickened with naturally fragrant beeswax and scented with sweet orange and frankincense essential oils.
The balm is far darker in the tins and tubes than it will appear on the lips and skin, please note that the tint in this balm is very sheer and subtle, the red balm is darker, cooler, gentle and illuminating, accentuating the natural colour of the lips rather than giving a vivid or dense colour.
The balm is packaged in eco-cardboard push up tubes, or 20ml slider tins which fit easily into a pocket. They contain quite a lot of product and should last a few months, even with daily use.
The tinted balms look different on different lip and skin tones so the result will depend on each individual, everyone who has tried it has different experiences because everyone has different skin. These are wonderful if you want a natural, dewy look, but will not have the pigmentation or staying power of a lipstick or powder blush.
The root of dyers alkanet, Alkanna tinctora, produces a beautiful deep red dye which has historically been used to dye clothing, and was used for gentle tinted makeup in Victorian times, and probably before.
Some say that burning alkanet root incense can bring protection against those who wish you harm, particularly in matters of money, and to invite luck in business. The root itself has a very particular kind of musty scent which doesn’t come through in the finished balm.
It is also wonderful for healing and cooling the skin, so useful for burns and scars from burning. This balm should not be restricted to use as a cosmetic product, it can be used as a skin healer and as a means to connect with the indomitable watery spirit of alkanet.
The colour of each batch varies slightly due to the natural colouring of the roots used.
The balms can also be used on eyelids and as a dewy highlighter for cheeks.

HEART OPENING SALVE — Rose, Lavender & Nettle
A potent, wildcrafted balm made with wild rose, lavender, and nettle infused into organic cold-pressed sunflower oil. To anoint the heart with this salve is to awaken it — to its purpose, its power, and its capacity for fierce and tender love.
The heart is fire. It is passion and warmth, rage and compassion, the spark of life and the engine of transformation. This balm works to tend that fire. To help you transform from a place of deep self-love, held within the fierce and boundaried protection of your own sovereign flame.
Rose carries the magic of love and transformation — for transformation is always, in some way, a death of the old and a flowering of the new. Lavender brings love, protection, and the opening of psychic and emotional pathways. Nettle is a plant of fire and fierce boundaries, of deep nourishment and purification — she builds strength from the ground up and protects everything she touches.
Together they offer a path back to the truth that we can be soft and open and loving while still being fierce protectors of our own tender hearts.
For meditation and journeying: apply a pea-sized amount over the heart space, pulse points, and third eye. Breathe deeply and allow the herbs to open the energetic heart.
