“this salve is so comforting— the faint smell of rosemary, the oil that rubs into me skin in such a way that my skin now asks for it, morning and evening, like a ritual…”
“one night my whole body was wasted and this calendula-based salve was the only thing that could respond to the overwhelming tension in my neck and back, and joint pain in my shoulders and knees. i can’t believe the beautiful subtle scent of rosemary too— never overpowering but there to help me open up my breathing and relax. so much love and care goes into growing the bulk of the materials used, from seed to shelf hand processing them. utterly graceful and merciful offerings.”
-
my apothecary will be entirely small-batches of homegrown and homemade plant medicines; tinctures, salves, oils, teas, & more.
all plants and herbs being used are home grown from seed or seedlings by me, with immense time, love and care poured into nurturing, harvesting, and preparing them— and all nurtured by lënapehókink land in philly where i grew up.
any plants, herbs, or materials not grown by me are ethically sourced— this includes my olive oil (i try to always buy palestinian or greek olive oil), organic sunflower oil, and raw, unrefined beeswax.
