If you’ve ever sipped a cup of herbal tea and wondered if you could grow the ingredients yourself—the answer is yes. You don’t need a massive garden or years of experience to get started. In fact, just a few thoughtfully chosen herbs can provide enough for tea all season long (and even into the winter).

We all have that one product we reach for when our skin is acting up. For me, it’s Calm & Restore—a handcrafted salve I originally formulated for dry, irritated skin. But over time, it’s become my go-to for just about everything—especially after long days outside in the sun, wind, and garden grit.

Your lymphatic system doesn’t get nearly as much attention as your heart or lungs—but it plays a vital role in keeping your body healthy. Think of it as your body’s drainage and immune transport system—carrying away waste, toxins, and cellular debris while supporting immune function. When it gets sluggish, we feel it: puffiness, fatigue, poor skin health, and a lowered sense of vitality. Thankfully, nature offers us powerful yet gentle herbal allies to support the lymphatic system—and many of them can be grown right in your backyard.

When people hear the word herbalism, they often imagine something complicated — shelves full of jars, ancient recipes, a vast encyclopedia of plants. But at its heart, herbalism is simple.

Nettle may not look like much at first — especially if you’ve brushed past it in the woods — but behind its sting is one of the most nourishing herbs out there.

When people think about boosting their immune system, they often reach for herbs like echinacea or elderberry—powerful allies, yes, but not always the best fit for every situation. In fact, some herbs that stimulate the immune system can do more harm than good when used long-term or in the wrong context.

A staple in my apothecary — and one I reach for often.

There are a few herbs I always want within reach, and lemon balm is one of them. It’s light, lemony, and just as good for the spirit as it is for the body.

Lately, there’s been a lot of noise online: seed oils are out, tallow is in. And while there’s nothing wrong with using tallow—it absolutely has traditional roots and unique benefits—it’s important to remember that plant-based oils and butters have been trusted across cultures for centuries.

Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) are one of the most recognizable—and misunderstood—plants in North America. Often dismissed as weeds, these bright yellow flowers are actually nutrient-rich powerhouses used for centuries in traditional herbalism. Every part of the dandelion—from the root to the flower—offers wellness benefits, whether you’re supporting digestion, skin health, or the liver.

Calendula might just be the hardest-working flower in my garden. With its golden blooms, calming energy, and powerful healing properties, it’s become a staple in everything from my skincare line to my summer tea blends. Whether you’re growing herbs for the first time or looking to add more purpose to your flower beds, calendula is one of the most rewarding plants to grow.

Often overlooked in spring lawns and woodlands, wild violets (Viola sororia) are a gentle, multi-use herb with a long history of medicinal and culinary value.

There’s something magical about herbs that come from trees. Maybe it’s the way they seem to hold deep-rooted wisdom — or how their leaves sway gently in the wind like they’re reminding us to slow down.

Whether you’re planning your first garden or expanding your apothecary, herbs are one of the most rewarding things you can grow. They’re beautiful, functional, and incredibly versatile—offering culinary, medicinal, and even bouquet-worthy benefits all from the same little patch of soil.

Herbal salves have been used for centuries to soothe dry skin, nourish wounds, and protect against irritation. Whether you’re looking for a natural alternative to store-bought ointments or simply love DIY herbalism, learning to make your own healing salve is a skill you’ll use over and over again.

Brewing herbal tea is more than just steeping herbs in hot water—each plant has unique compounds that extract best under certain conditions. Whether you’re looking for flavor, medicinal benefits, or a refreshing iced tea, choosing the right brewing method makes all the difference.

There’s something deeply comforting about a cup of chai—the rich aroma of cinnamon and cardamom, the gentle heat of ginger, the perfect balance of spice and warmth. It’s a drink that feels like a hug in a mug, steeped in tradition and full of flavor.

Healthy, vibrant hair doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right care and ingredients, you can give your hair the love it deserves.

Caring for our skin goes beyond moisturizers and lotions. Body oils offer a deeply nourishing, natural way to hydrate, protect, and rejuvenate our skin while connecting us to nature. Whether used for massage, gua sha, or simply as a post-shower ritual, body oils bring luxury and wellness into our daily routines.

For me, tea is such a comforting way to nourish my body and soul, one cozy cup at a time. Here are three blends that can support you through seasonal transitions and offer some much-needed wellness during this time of year:
