Peri & Menopausal Herbal Blend🌿💥 Motherwort🍃Black Cohosh🍃Shatavari🍃 Chamomile 🍃Ashwagandha🍃Pine Pollen🍃 Violet Leaf🍃 Change and transitions are hard—& necessary for the natural evolution of life, our lives. Some aspects of this transition for us women can be uncomfortable, deeply uncomfortable, but I’m hoping we can look to each other and find the knowing that it isn’t something to be “cured” and that HRT is a last resort. Try plants, exercise, diet and sleep routine amplifications first—IMO. But do you! I’m pretty happy with this very peppy formulation meant to help balance the emotions, sooth the nervous system, so that both rest and action states are smooth. Motherwort was chosen to ease physical & emotional tension at the heart & uterus. Black cohosh root, with its snakes, gnarly root structure, is one of my all time favorite remedies and I helpful with dark, tangled thoughts like her roots indicate. These two herbs are said to relieve hot flashes and sleep disturbing night sweats. Shatavari, the her of 1000 husbands as it is known in Ayurvedic culture, is hormonal balancing & said to boost libido. Chamomile is a lovely, gentle ally to calm the nervous system & digestion. Ashwagandha, like Shatavari, is a classic Ayurvedic herb, in this case & in this case utilized as an adaptagen to promote relaxation by soothing the nervous system. Pine pollen is super stimulating without using caffeine! It holds the potential of the evolutionary intention of the pine trees to proliferate…but its androgenic compounds & abundant array of vitamins and minerals help us balance hormones. I like the idea of come at balancing our hormones as we steadily produces less and less estrogen from trace minerals provided by herbs & plants.

My hours are strange—but DM me to set a time to meet at the outpost, or I’ll send ya anything you want! Love and peace! December 2024

Gift an Astro blend?! Sagittarius, our jovial & nightly, bow wielding centaur, is ruled by expansive Jupiter, fueled by the fire element & the second to last mutable sign of the zodiac. In their many good days, Sagittarius’s are optimistic, well traveled, broad-thinking adventurers. They are hot-blooded, big-hearted & freedom-loving visionaries. Catch ‘em on the wrong hoof & you might find yourself squarely in their scope—& they’ll feel incurably self-righteous about tagging you. Or worse yet, you might be the innocent victim of some public, brute verbal faux pax of theirs in a night out partying. As you might imagine, Sagittarius, with the archetype of half horse, half human rules the hips, thighs, buttocks & sciatic nerve. That upper human head rules the autonomic nervous system, left hemisphere cerebrum, ability to reason, locomotion and the stimuli response mechanism in the relationship between the endocrine & nervous a system. We have hibiscus to cool the blood. Lemon balm to honor healthy communication w/ others. Woof betony to sooth an expansive mind. Dandelion & burdock for liver & inflammation. Orange peel, sage, & cinnamon to tie it together w/ moistening, fat digesting tartness.♐️ #medicalastrology #astrologicalteas #saguttarius #astroteas #astroherbalism #astrologicalherbalism

In grief or struggle, I urge you to make tea for yourself. Share some with someone else. You probably have a box of chamomile or mint tea in your cupboard and that will do! But hey, in a pinch, simmer whatever you have. The act of slowing and caring is an innate part of making tea, this action and attention is helpful. Please give it a try. There are lots of plants that we’ve leaned on for grief throughout history and I will list some of those here. The blend above was made by me for the waters of Carolin’s cacao ceremony last Sunday at the outpost. It is complicated and specific—I have the luxury of making such things. And that act helps me on the path to healing. Here are some other plants to think about k about with grief: chamomile, oats, passion flower, linden, rose, rose hips, hawthorn leaf flower and berry, mimosa bark and flower, marshmallow, elecampane, St. John’s wort, motherwort, skullcap, lemon balm, kava, ashwagandha, black cohosh, hops nutmeg…

Hi hello, Happy to be here with an update: powered through the summer with my torn acl and meniscus & got surgery 2 weeks ago. It couldn’t have come sooner or later. I rode this girl hard. Getting elective surgery is a trip. I now have a cadaver tendon. My dad was an organ donor & his femurs & eyes were harvested… now someone’s life is going to make the rest of my life so much fuller with the gift of their tendon. I feel deep, deep gratitude. And I’m happy I’m an organ donor, too. The recovery is longer than I imagined and hoped. I thought for sure, since I’m tough as nails, that I could cheat the length, that’s just not true. And I don’t ever want to get surgery again, especially from being cavalier & egotistical. One more month in this lovingly unbending brace and these brilliantly forgiving crutches. 🤣 Deep deep thanks for the food & attention from my friends💚💚💚 Through this, I have been trying to mind my business & keep a finger on what can be a slippery sense of purpose. I feel truly honored & lucky that my path feels so right for me & compels me to learn all the time. However, I can get sidetracked in the survival mode & this summer of building the shack & hosting beautiful events & working my side gigs definitely occupied 90 of my brain & squeezed off some of the room in my heart. So, I’m grateful for this slow down. Sure, it’s so much extra to exist, bath, water the plants & go to the store. But oh well. A big beautiful surprise of these ‘mind my business’ trips are the knowing nods & smiles of encouragement from unexpected strangers & their asides of advice “bone broth” “garlic water” “motion machine” as these folks keep in movin in true NYC style. Anyway, I’m back to being an herbalist & have even done two consultations💓. My time, heart & soul are open to interpret some healing synergy between my human clients & their plant allies. It feels whole. Thank you modern medicine for this odd turn back to my life in herbalism. Lemme know if you want an herbal or astroherbalism consultation with me. I have sliding scale rates as well. #freehealthcarforall #ceasefirenow #nowarever #freepalestine #mybodymychoice

Hey, how you feelin? Looked up & saw its mental health awareness day. What a day. May we use this reminder to check in on our own selves & to see how others are doin. I myself am a tangle of anxiety and it’s been taking all of my coping mechanisms to manage—sometimes successfully & others not so much. But hey, the shack is almost done. Right on schedule for my ACL/meniscus surgery next week. Thanks the Gods! Antidote Herb Shop shall return! Back to anxiety, stress, whatever. Some of the instigating elements of my stress/anxiety are very real while others are extremely-ordinary. Maybe same for you? I’ve come to accept and even welcome that some of the sensations of what I’ve come to call anxiety are just gonna be there while in that fight or flight state so necessary for our survival…but my breathing, gratitude, sense of presence are all strategies I’ve cultivated to make through these long bursts with as much grace and evenness that I can. I’m also extremely grateful for, blessed by & reliant upon the community that I’ve grown within. My native response to stress/anxiety most definitely revolves around movement. When out of whack, I’m either zipping around, frizzing or completely stricken. When I’m stable, I’m set in a good little seat, a nice movement. When presented, my first instinct usually presents as action , then reflection then a little more movement to sort. Sometimes I wish I took more time before and after movement…but I like my generally like my impulses & trust my instincts & want to keep them. Have access. So ah, some herbs I think of when I want to rally a little support from my plant allies are skullcap, milky oats, ashwagandha, marshmallow, elecampane, sage and licorice. These are not all classic nervines, & might even seem a little random on first take. Skullcap is a classic nervine, really useful for the spinning, flitting mind like mine (I like it morning and night.) Milky oats also fits in the nervine category but in a diff way. It restores and builds the sheath on the nerve fibers, which is how they communicate. In other words, milky oats are trophorestorative to your myelin sheaths & if you’re the sort that gets jumpy w tbc’d in commen
