Moonlit Night Apothecary

Busy week doing Apothecary things🌿

💚Some Purslane harvested from my garden to help a patient with diabetes and for my wee one who is having some tummy issues.
💚Speaking of tummy issues, this Chickweed Tincture will be a great gut relieving ally to add to some Dandelion. Any of my chicken mommas can also use for the calcium boost, as well.
💚Some Evening Primrose Oil and tincture to help with hormone fluctuations, menopause symptoms, and period cramping.
💚Getting ingredients situated for a few large batches of BooBoo Cream.
💚My wee witch loves the pestle and mortar, and loved helping to break up the Magnesium Chloride flakes for some cream to help with Senile Purpura, leg cramps, pain, and menopause symptoms to name a few.
💚And prepping the double steep on my Moringa Tincture.
🍌Got the banana water stewing to say thank you to my plants that have been so helpful this week💚

🌿What medicines have ya'all been prepping this week!?🌿

🌿Arnica & Copaiba+ Cream🌿
A comprehensive pain rub that reduces swelling, inflammation, and bruising. It repairs pulled ligaments & tendons and helps broken bones heal faster. The cream has ingredients to combat nerve damage, like Helichrysum and Frankincense. It features plant allies to act as a muscle relaxant and to promote restful sleep.
🌿Useful to any part of the body from injured backs to sore legs🌿

🌿Purple Dead Nettle+ Salve is an amazingly versatile addition to your first-aid kit💜
🌿Bug bites stop itching immediately. Stubborn acne is brought to the surface to heal. And it can be used for lymphatic massages too.

🌿Chaste Tree Berry is great for balancing hormones during perimenopause and menopause. It gives relief for the anxiety, night sweats, hot flashes, mood changes, and brain fog associated with hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause.
🌿Chaste Tree Berry can alleviate a lot of the discomfort and mood symptoms associated with PMS. It helps with breast sensitivity with getting a period too.
🌿It also enhances fertility. Many women have successfully used Chaste Tree Berries to conceive without additional costly medical procedures. It supports the luteal phase, or second half of menstrual cycle, when you are more likely to conceive.
🌿The benefits for childbearing don't stop with conception, as Chaste Tree Berry helps with breastfeeding too! It has been used for a long time to support milk production and improve overall lactation.

Everyone should have a jar in their medicine cabinet or first-aid kit💚

🌿 The Mayo Clinic has done studies of Plantain usage for burn victims. It performed just as well or better than the prescription options used by hospitals for 1st and 2nd degree burns. 3rd degree burns were not part of the study, so no published evidence or results for that.
🌿 I personally have seen it keep 2nd degree sunburns from blistering/bubbling and even much of the peeling. The uneven skin tone from sunburns is greatly reduced with applying BooBoo Cream multiple times a day for 4-7 days after the exposure to the sun.

Fire Cider🌿🧄🍋🍊🍋‍🟩🫚🌿

This batch will be ready in a few weeks! Since we've been getting rounds of viruses hitting, I decided to brew a batch❤️‍🩹 It's jam packed with lemons, limes, oranges, horseradish, ginger, garlic, peppers, onions, honey, and herbs💚

🌿It's great for congestion, to get mucous moving from the upper & lower respiratory track, builds up immune system, and knocks viruses out. Taken after exposure to someone sick, it can prevent the virus from setting into symptoms. It can be used as a gargle for sore throats, as well.
🌿 8 oz jars available to reserve or purchase for $13.00.

🪷Blue Lotus is also very calming. The tincture is safe, in small doses, for children who need some help getting to sleep. It is a wonderful addition to the Sleep Tincture, which is a synergy of herbal tinctures to lull adults right to sleep.

🪷One of the nice things about herbal tinctures for sleep is that they don't leave you groggy and tired in the morning, especially in comparison to prescription or OTC sleep aids.

🌿Chamomile tincture is wonderful for calming down during the day without the sleepiness of other anxiety remedies. A larger dose can be taken at bedtime to promote peaceful, longer sleep. The tincture is stronger than tea, and it's perfect for those that do not like to drink teas.

🌿Chamomile tincture is a great choice to ease stomach pains and cramping. It relives indigestion and gassy bloating. Chamomile, in a very tiny dose, is safe for treating babies with colic, gas, and digestive and/or behavioral symptoms associated with teething. The anti-inflammatory properties found in Chamomile lend well to treating GERD. It is a good choice for those treating digestive discomfort caused by stress and tension are the root cause of the gastro upset occurring.

🌿Chamomile is very calming to skin, as well. Using a creme or salve can help with Rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne, and inflammed skin in general. It works well for sunburn and rashes too.

Chamomile tincture and salve are versitile additions to anyone's medical cabinet or first aid kit💚

Homemade Citrus Cleaning Concentrate🍋🌿
The orange and lime offer degreasing for areas like the kitchen, and the Oregano and Rosemary offer powerful germ fighting. I decided to use Lemongrass in it to further brighten the smell, as well as offer some deterrence to any Springtime pests☀️
