Recipes
FOR CARING FOR YOURSELF, LOVED ONES, AND for LIVING IN CONNECTION WITH THE NATURAL WORLD
-
I want to share my recipes for inside and outside care with you plus some magic. They range from staple year round recipes to ones that honor seasonal botanicals.
My aim is for these recipes to be fun and an act of love, not overly laborious and daunting. They are steeped in a deep reverence for the natural world and I hope they resonate with you and you make them your own for years to come. Please feel to email me if you ever have questions or comments. I always say “follow your nose” so I hope you put your personal touch on these!

Loosen the Knot Tension-Release Blend
This powerful blend of essential oils is great for relieving anxiety, tension, headaches, migraines, and PMS. Dab onto wrists and temples, breathe in, and close your eyes.
Jewelweed Salve
The leaves of Jewelweed can be used to treat poison ivy rashes, eczema and dermatitis. You can use the deep green infused oil to make a powerful salve you will be reaching for year round.
Elderberry Syrup & Elderbears
Berries from the Elder have been used for centuries in wellness preparations, dating back as far as 400 BC. This is a delicious double recipe for both elderberry syrup and Elderbear gummies that help fortify our immune system.
Milka’s Fir Tip Wellness Syrup
This syrup is a rendition of one that was made annually by my Baka (grandmother in Serbo-Croatian) Milka. Conifers send the bright green tips out in the spring as a sign of new growth, making these tips very high in Vitamin C and known to help ease respiratory ailments, coughs and colds.
