wildcrafted elderberry elixir.

in the quiet of the autumn wood, where heavy branches bend, the elderberry clusters wait - winter’s oldest friend.
they gather up the fading light, the final summer heat, and turn it into medicine, dark-purple, rich, and sweet.

it guards the gates of chest and throat with armour forged in wood, a remedy of ancient days that time has understood.
for in the small and humble fruit, the quiet forest weaves, a shield against the winter cold beneath the fallen leaves.

wildcrafted elderberries slowly infused with organic ginger and cinnamon on a gentle heat and then lovingly mixed with raw honey.

a tablespoon to be taken daily when feeling unwell or having been exposed to winter bugs.

keep refrigerated.

food supplement.

homegrown eucalyptus chest rub.

a soothing balm of silver-green, to clear the heavy air between,
a fragrant breath of wind and wood, that stirs the chest and does us good.

rubbed gentle on the skin at night, it burns a cool and menthol light,
to ease the breath and clear the head, and bring a quiet peace to bed.

homegrown eucalyptus and hyssop lovingly infused with sweet almond oil, then gently mixed with beeswax to make this beautiful balm.

use a pea sized amount and rub on chest.
