I've finally added the last, delicate respiratory

I've finally added the last, delicate respiratory herbs I started plotting in December for an educational garden that also has the colors of the rainbow from red to yellow to purple. Crossing fingers that it turns out!! Special thanks to @cuttingroot for growing some of the most important plants I needed. Support women farmers. #herbalgarden #cargobike #respiratoryherbs #gardening #apothecary

Too close for comfort? Yup, I'm not ready to do aw

Too close for comfort? Yup, I'm not ready to do away with social distancing entirely, either. Especially not with poison ivy. Anyone who has developed an itchy patch after their encounter with the plant, knows that it is unlike any other itch. Scratching it might provide short term relief but it escalates in itchiness as the histamine spreads under your skin, sometimes resulting in fluid filled blisters.

While Woodsy Warrior Salve needs not be confused with medicine because it does NOT provide treatment, chamomile curbs that insatiable itch, peppermint cools the surface, plantain draws out the irritating histamine, and clay absorbs any excess moisture to halt that vicious cycle without creating additional problems. It's also great for itchy bug bites and blisters from swamp foot after a long, wet hike. Some folks that are particularly sensitized to the urushiol in poison ivy or oak may still need to seek medical treatment if a rash becomes systemic and appears in patches not exposed to the irritant.

Lastly, although this small tin never touched the plant, it will not be returning to inventory stock. It will be in my personal stash for weekend trips. I keep a larger tub in the medicine cabinet for peak season use, for when I haven't remembered to use the Woodsy Warrior Soap with jewelweed in advance of trail work or back country exploration. I usually bring the Woodsy Warrior sun stick with its insect repellent essential oils to minimize discomfort during my excursions, too. Prevention all the way, hiking all day.

These are ready to ship! Our NEW ROUND shampoo bars may look like hockey pucks but they are meant for your hair. The Helmet Hair variety uses Avocado, Castor and Coconut oils to create copious lather without stripping your hair's natural sebum. Oat Straw extract and Nettle powder add shine and luster to your locks - no conditioner required! The Persian Lime and Lavender essential oils bring a calming, gentle aroma that doesn't compete with other products, if you do choose to adorn yourself. If you really love it, though, you can double up with Blissed Out soap for a very similar aroma, in an all-over body experience!

Happy mothers day to ALL earth's people! Please do

Happy mothers day to ALL earth's people! Please do not confuse this message as regurgitation of a hallmark holiday, reinforcement of gender stereotypes nor justification for unpaid labor. I believe it takes a village to raise a village, and everyone has an important part. It is part of a sustainable ecosystem.

For some, it is not in bearing children of their own descent, but supporting the diverse community and ecosystem at risk around us. Traditional roles are not necessarily practical - nor sought - by many folks around the world. For this reason, it can be difficult for many people to celebrate something that they experience differently - and it's not wrong. Today is certainly an excellent day to celebrate all the folks who care for you, give you knowledge, feed you and love in whatever manner that feels right for you. Happy nurture day?
