Today was all about creatingājust in a different way than usual. For anyone who doesnāt know, I went through formal, credentialed education in herbology, nutrition, and several other healthārelated fields. Before the pandemic turned everything upside down, I had my own practice.
With the kids coming down with a lovely head cold, it felt like the perfect time to put those skills back to use and make some fresh inhalers and shower steamers.
Over the last few years, life got busy, and I stopped making my own products. Iād pick things up at markets now and then, but I often found myself unsure about the formulationsāespecially when it came to essential oils. A lot of people create beautiful things, but not everyone uses clinically safe dilution rates or evidenceābased combinations. For our family, thatās really important, especially knowing that a poorly formulated product can lead to serious reactions.
So I decided to return to making things myself, using safe, wellāresearched formulations I trust. It felt grounding to get back into it and to create things with intention for our health and wellness. Now, to work on a lovely, health-boosting soup.
