Welcome to my Herbal Shop – I’m excited to be able to start sharing some of my herbal creations. These are products I use in my house regularly.

Salves are a wonderful addition to any first aid kit or natural medicine cabinet. They are easy to use as well as take with you. Having young kids, they are a must have and my family plays a big role in all I create.

Herbal teas are packed full of easy to absorb nutrients and can offer some moments of peace and calmness in today’s busy world. All of my teas are naturally caffeine free and can be enjoyed by kids and adults. Many of my teas can be enjoyed cold as well as hot so they can be equally enjoyed through the cooler months. Tea makes a great substitute for juice and other high sugar (or sugar substitute) drinks.

Adaptogenic Blend 

A blend of powdered herbs to help the body adapt to stress (including emotional, physical and environmental) as well provide nourishment. This blend is a combination of Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Eleuthero, Ginger and Cinnamon.

Ashwagandha is an iron rich, calming adaptogenic herb that enhances endocrine function by helping to regulate the thyroid, testes and adrenal glands. It is effective for anxiety, fatigue, brain fog and stress induced insomnia. Studies are showing that Ashwagandha has some anti-aging effects.

Astragalus is an adaptogenic herb that enhances immune function and may help prevent colds, influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. Astragalus also strengthens the lungs and can help support the immune system after a bout with illness or surgery.

Eleuthero is an adaptogenic herb known for improving alertness and cognitive function when under severe stress or working long hours as well as increasing energy and reducing fatigue. It can increase stamina, endurance, enhance mitochondrial activity and speed up recovery as well as prevent immune depletion from excess training.

Ginger and Cinnamon are added for their circulatory benefits to enhance the other herbs as well as their sugar stabilizing benefits. Plus they provide a delicious taste to this blend!

How to use: add to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, energy balls, mix into 1/2 teaspoon of honey and eat right off the spoon! This blend can also be enjoyed as a hot drink – add to hot water or warmed milk and stir right in, steep just as you would with tea (I like to do a minimum of 10 minutes) – you can also mix it with honey and pour hot water or milk on top to dissolve. Another option is a decoction: add water and blend to a small saucepan, bring to a simmer and allow it to simmer for at least 20 minutes. Since the herbs used are roots (and cinnamon is a bark) they are very hardy and make a strong and potent decoction.

Amount of blend taken varies from person to person – start with 1/2 tsp and work up to 1 tablespoon or more for desired taste and effect. Can be taken daily or as needed. My daily intake is 1/2 teaspoon – more isn’t always better, just find the right balance for you!

Pricing:

Glass Jar (50g) $7.00, Resealable Bag (70g) $8.00, Large Resealable Bag (140g) $15.00, Sample Size (10g) $2.00 (or 3/$5 – can be mixed and matched with herbal tea).

Herbal Loose Tea

Immune Spice Loose Tea – a blend of Holy Basil (Tulsi), Orange Peel and Chaga mushrooms. This tea has a nice warm spicy flavour from the holy basil with a hint of orange. Holy Basil is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body adapt to stress and supports mental well being. Stress is by the far the biggest reason our immune systems become weak and overworked. Holy Basil provides nutrients such as vitamin A and C, zinc, calcium, iron and chlorophyll. Orange peel is a source of fibre to help support regular bowel movements, stabilizes blood sugar and is supportive to respiratory health. Oranges in my blend are dried in my home at low heat to retain maximum nutrients. Chaga is known as the King of medicinal mushrooms. It is one of the most potent sources of antioxidants known and is especially a great source of SOD (superoxide dimutase) which is one of our most important antioxidants. SOD is quickly depleted by EMF expose such as electronics (cell phones, TV’s, computers, iPads, wifi, etc.) and indoor light – which is all increased during the colder seasons!

Holiday Warmth Herbal Tea – a blend of dried Apple, Cinnamon, Red Rooibos, Elderberries and Ginger. Apples are a superfood that supports healthy digestion and stabilized blood sugar. It is also a source of quercetin. Quercetin is an antioxidant that supports immune function, improves inflammatory and histamine response. Cinnamon – known for stabilizing blood sugar and a potent antioxidant. Along with ginger, these herbs give this tea its “warmth” as both herbs are known to be warming. Ginger – warmth in a glass that can improve blood circulation, support immune health – especially respiratory and support digestive health. Red Rooibos – supports immune health and has 50% more antioxidants than green tea. Nourishes digestive health, immune support, hair, skin and bones thanks to the many minerals such as calcium, manganese, iron, zinc, copper and more. Elderberries – popular for its high vitamin C content and immune support. These berries taste delicious in tea, are cooling so they add balance to the warming herbs.

A Taste of Sunshine Herbal Tea – a blend of Lemon Balm, Red Raspberry Leaf, Strawberries and Hibiscus Flowers. This tea was created to bring a taste of sunshine during the colder months but can also be enjoyed as a cold and refreshing drink in the warmer months. This tea tastes sweet and has a nice pink colour. Lemon balm is a nervine that soothes the nervous system and can help relieve stress, anxiety and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Red raspberry leaf is full of nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, vitamin C, B vitamins, antioxidants and more. Strawberries provide lots of nutrients to support immune function and offer a nice touch of sweetness to this tea. Hibiscus flowers are full of nutrients but is also considered a digestive tonic – it helps the body to absorb nutrients so it helps us to get the most out of this blend. It also is responsible for this blend’s lovely shade of pink.

Super Nettle-Mint Herbal Tea – a blend of Nettle, Peppermint and Chaga Mushroom. Nettle is a nutrient rich herb that is commonly used to help support the body during seasonal changes as well as a diuretic that supports flushing the body of toxins. Peppermint supports digestive health as well as offers a nice sweet flavour to this tea that makes it a nice “after dinner” tea or afternoon tea to help curb sugar cravings. Chaga is known as the King of medicinal mushrooms. It is one of the most potent sources of antioxidants known and is especially a great source of SOD (superoxide dimutase) which is one of our most important antioxidants. SOD is quickly depleted by EMF expose such as electronics (cell phones, TV’s, computers, iPads, wifi, etc.) and indoor light – which is all increased during the colder seasons!

Evening Calm Herbal Tea – a blend of Passionflower, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Skullcap, Catnip and Spearmint. This tea was created to promote relaxation and replenish your nervous system. Both Passionflower and Skullcap have mild sedative properties so this tea can be enjoyed in the evening as part of your bedtime ritual or to unwind after a busy/stressful day.

Day Calm Herbal Tea – A blend of Oatstraw, Red Raspberry Leaf, Nettle, Chamomile and Cinnamon. This tea is a super nutritive to the nervous system that will provide calmness that is suitable for the daytime. This tea can be enjoyed by children to adult, as well as during pregnancy (2nd trimester and on) and for new mom’s to help nourish the body and support milk production.* This tea can help support feelings of being burned out, disconnected or out of sorts – no matter how much rest you are getting.

Tummy Calm-Mint – a blend of Chamomile, Fennel Seed, Calendula, Catnip and Peppermint. This tea is filled with herbs to promote relaxation and calmness to your digestive system. This can be from overeating, upset stomach, nervousness that affects the stomach, etc. This tea is nice to sip after meals and can be enjoyed by children and adults.

Chai-Inspired Herbal Tea – a blend of Holy Basil (Tulsi), Red Rooibis, Ginger, Cinnamon, Fennel Seed, Clove and Star Anise. This tea is inspired by traditional chai but contains no caffeine.  This tea is packed with antioxidants and warming herbs that can help support circulation. Both cinnamon and ginger are herbs that can help stabilize blood sugar. This tea can be enjoyed steeped in hot water, warm milk or a combination of both.

Happy Heart Herbal Tea – a blend of Holy Basil (Tulsi), Linden Flower, Rose and Calendula. This tea works on an energetic level to promote feelings of joy in the heart but also offers many nutritional benefits to support the physical body. The adaptogenic properties of holy basil can help to reduce feelings of anger and reduce anxiety and stress. Linden flower’s nervine qualities can help “take the edge off” and reduce stress and tension. Calendula is a flower that looks like little suns and energetically can help bring the sunshine in! Calendula is very well known as a natural and powerful skincare ingredient because of it’s ability to regenerate the skin (thanks to its high amounts of iodine, manganese and beta carotene) and provides the same nourishment inside the body as it does outside. Energetically Rose is known for bringing joy to our hearts and physically supports the circulatory system.

Lymph Mover Herbal Tea – a blend of Red Clover, Calendula, Nettle and Ginger. This tea supports movement of the lymphatic system as well as general stagnation in our lives on an emotional level. Our lymphatic system plays an important role to our immune health and our body’s detoxification process by transporting lymph – a colourless fluid containing white blood cells that  help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted material. Our lymphatic system can easily become over burdened and may show symptoms such as fatigue, cold hands and feet, stiff upon waking, bloating, excess weight, food sensitivities, brain fog, etc. On an emotional/spiritual level this blend can help with feelings of stagnation or being stuck, trying to break away from old thought patterns/beliefs or in need of fresh ideas and direction.

Seasonal Support Herbal Tea – a blend of Elderflower, Yarrow, Nettle, Peppermint and Chaga. This blend helps support your body during the seasonal changes that leaves us feeling tired, congested, coughing, runny noses and sinus congestion. This tea can be supportive during colds and flu, helping to relieve upper congestion and support the body during a fever, encouraging sweating to help the body cool down. This blend helps to nurture the immune system and tastes delicious – it can be enjoyed anytime!

A Breath of Fresh Air Herbal Tea – a blend of Eastern White Pine Needles, White Spruce tips, Elderberries and Cinnamon. This is a major immune system boosting blend, the locally foraged Pine Needles and Spruce Tips are an abundant source of vitamin C, Elderberries provide an abundance of antioxidants to keep cells healthy (which makes it more difficult for viruses to enter) and Cinnamon to add warmth and flavour. These are all hardy plants that help support those winter ailments (coughs and colds). Energetically this tea reminds me of our connection with breath exchange between the trees and clears out what we don’t need and fills that space with a new clear outlook.

Lemon Cat-Mint – a blend of Lemon Balm, Catnip and Peppermint. This blend is helpful for anxiety that manifests in the stomach, over excitement, and can be supportive to the body during illness that includes nausea. This blend is nice for all ages but is really great for children. Children often complain of stomach aches because it is often where stress manifests for them. Many people think of Catnip for cats but it is my favourite herb for children and overall stomach complaints from anxiety/worry for all ages, it is calming and helps with that “butterflies in the tummy” feeling. Peppermint supports digestion and can be helpful when there’s any nausea present. Lemon Balm is like a blast of sunshine and supports feelings or worry and sadness. It also gently calms when you are feeling overexcited or hyper. It should come as no surprise that this blend was created and named by my 8 year old son – he feels this is a needed blend to help people. It is also delicious!

Clari-Tea – a blend of Gotu Kola, Peppermint, Sage and Chaga Mushroom. This blend is helpful for mental fatigue, fogginess and uplifting the mood. Gotu Kola has noortropic properties that can help support brain function, supporting circulation, memory and cognition. Sage has been shown to elevate mood, increase alertness, calmness and brain function. Peppermint stimulates the mind and can help support memory, focus and concentration. Chaga has been shown to be protective against neurodegeneration due to it’s powerful antioxidant properties. This is a great combination to help with physical and emotional clarity. Emotionally Gotu Kola helps push trapped thoughts through (that feeling your brain is full of thoughts and can feel overwhelming), Sage brings wisdom and uplifting thoughts, Peppermint is a great herb for digestion and can help with the digestion of thoughts and feelings, and Chaga is a powerhouse antioxidant helping to support these processes.

Nettle-Balm – a blend of Nettle, Red Raspberry Leaf and Lemon Balm. This blend is a highly nutrient rich blend of Nettle and Red Raspberry Leaf and a touch of calming and sunshine from the Lemon balm. It tastes great hot or cold. Nettle is one of my favourite herbs to help support the body during seasonal allergies, give the immune system a boost and it’s diuretic properties can help flush out toxins from the body.

Red Raspberry Leaf Chiller – a blend of Red Raspberry Leaf and Hibiscus. Red Raspberry Leaf is a nutrient rich herb that can benefit reproductive health by regulating irregular menstrual cycles, reducing heavy periods, and easing cramps. Hibiscus flowers are full of nutrients but is also considered a digestive tonic – it helps the body to absorb nutrients so it helps us to get the most out of this blend. It also is responsible for this blend’s lovely shade of pink and a nice tart taste. This tea can be helpful to add during the menstrual cycle every month and is very delicious cold! I make a large batch of this and put it in my fridge to enjoy over about 3 days. The pink/red colour makes this drink attractive to kids – and also a super healthy alternative to juice!

Replenishing Roots – a blend of Burdock Root, Dandelion Root and Ginger Root. This blend is intended to be used as a decoction (warmed on the stove or the crockpot) and enjoyed over 5-7 days. The deep nourishment from this blend will help to replenish the body when recovering from illness (you know when the symptoms are gone but you still feel wiped out), after surgery, after taking antibiotics, after a stressful event, used in place of a detox or for just a general tune-up. This blend will help nourish the blood and liver, is a great source of inulin – a prebiotic that will help support the bacteria in your digestive tract and can be enjoyed throughout the day without making any other changes (no unhealthy detox rules). This can be prepared and heated throughout the week, replenishing water as needed. Emotionally/spiritually, the deep roots of Burdock (that provides nutrients that many other plants can’t access) and wild roots of Dandelion can provide deep grounding and connection to the Earth. I love using this blend between Spring/Summer and again between Summer/Fall to help keep my body in balance with nature during those big seasonal changes.

Super Immune Herbal Teas – with Black Garlic

Other Herbal Products:

Elderberry Syrup (seasonal product, please contact for availability)

Elderberries are a potent source of Anthocyanins that help support immune health and may shorten the duration of common colds and flus. Read here about Anthocyanin benefits. High in Vitamin C, elderberries help protect the body from free radicals, supporting the liver and immune system.

My blend contains Elderberries, Rose Hips, Clove, Ginger, Cinnamon, Star Anise, Local honey and filtered water. I created this blend to have a delicious taste and balance with warming herbs to complement the cooling elderberries. This blend supports digestion so you will get the most out of your syrup.

Directions: recommended use of Elderberry Syrup is 1 tablespoon daily for adults/1 teaspoon daily for children (over one) for immune support. During the onset of symptoms or exposure to someone not feeling well increase to 3 tablespoons daily for adults/3 teaspoons daily for children (over one). Due to the high vitamin C content, spread out when you take it so that your body can properly utilize the Vitamin C.

Elderberry syrup can be taken directly off the spoon (it is delicious!), added to hot water and enjoy as a tea (or add it as sweetener to your tea) or add a spoonful to carbonated water to enjoy a cold and fizzy drink. Please make sure to always use a clean spoon (no double dipping!) to preserve the shelf life of your syrup.

Pricing: 8oz jar $12  16oz jar $22

Apple Cider Vinegar Infusions

Apple cider vinegar has been used for hundreds of years for health purposes, used internally for its digestion support and externally to support healthy skin. Apple cider vinegar contains a plethora of nutrients but a few key nutrients are flavonoids such as: gallic acid that supports gastrointestinal health, catechin that may inhibit carcinogenesis and tumour growth and caffeic acid which has lots of research supporting blood sugar stabilization. All of these flavonoids have powerful antioxidant support for the body, helping to support ridding the body of free radicals.

I have taken Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and created infusions with herbs to provide a powerful immune boost and target specific health concerns:

ACV Elderflower – Immune Support to focus on cold and flu prevention, seasonal allergies, upper respiratory

ACV Elderflower/Stinging Nettle Leaf and Root – Seasonal allergy support, mineral rich, supports joint health

ACV Dandelion Root/Burdock Root/Nettle Root – Rich in minerals to support gut health, liver and blood. This is can be helpful to use between season changes or to replenish the body after a bout of illness.

ACV Thyme/Basil/Sage – this one I simple call a “flu shot” and it is targeted with these warming antimicrobial herbs that partner up to provide a nice shot of immune support.

How to take ACV infusions – add half a tablespoon to your morning water and work up to 1-2 tablespoons daily (once daily or broken up throughout the day in a glass of water before meals). Always use a clean spoon when adding to your water.

Storing AVC – please store in your refrigerator and it will last up to a year.

On the go – pouring some of your AVC into a dropper bottle is a great way to take a bit on the go so you can feel your best when you are away.

PLEASE NOTE – that it can take up to 4 weeks for an infusion to be made, so please allow this time frame when placing an order.

Pricing 8oz jar $10  16oz jar $18  Glass Dropper Bottle (Empty) 2 oz $2 each

Sage Bath Bags – a 3 x2 inch bath bag filled with dried Sage (Salvia Officinalis), Epsom salts and Dead Sea salt.Sage brings  clarity and feelings of peacefulness but also enhances immunity and helps support the body when coughs, colds or fevers may be present. I have found that bathing with sage helps promote sweating and releasing trapped heat from inside. The addition of Epsom and sea salts helps to relieve stress, soothe sore muscles and leave the skin feeling soft and nourished. This combination together is wonderfully grounding and helps connect us to that feeling of walking barefoot. While you can add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the bag, I love using plants as they are and find them to be more balancing and effective overall.

Pricing: $4 per bag or 3/$10.  Usage: Each bag is for one bath, pull string closed on bag and put it into the tub while you soak, can be squeezed gently or rubbed on body during bath. Bag with contents can be composted after use.

Other herbs or combination of herbs are available upon request. Some popular requests: Calendula for soothing of dry skin/irritated skin, Catnip to calm anxiousness, Chamomile for relaxation, etc.
