more ramblings on herbs and potions

My review on jewel weed balm..I feel like jewel weed in its most raw form is most effective for poison ivy. Other wise for other skin ailments, it is perfection. Poison ivy needs to dry up and not be itchy that is how it can be controlled. 

When I first thought I had poison ivy, I right away took a handful of jewel weed and crunched it up and rubbed it everywhere. It was cool. I felt it was over. It was over, for a week, I bragged on how awesome jewel weed is..and it is very nice, thank goodness we have it!

That was a week ago and now, the poison still wants to spread. I will not let it but it is ridiculously tenacious poison!

My remedy so far is active applications of raw jewel weed and then in between I made a spray with alcohol from grain and essentials oil. frankincense mostly and patchouli and ok, neroli and bergamot. At least I smell good while I suffer. After a hot salty shower, I apply the balm. Awe!

I hear people loved that salty tea tree soap with jewel weed and mint..I feel like that one was awesome.

I would like to thank all my awesome customers for keeping us afloat happily with awesome orders this summer,

thank you so much!

Next, and soon, will be a flurry of soap making.

ghost of frankincense is in high demand and I feel it a keeper for sure!

Old whore, we need more of her forgotten ways..her style and sense of grace

her poise and delight

her strong face to fear

her readiness to be fem-goddess

a woman

be a woman

be a real woman

do not lie to me

do not treat me badly

do not think I cannot see it when you are sad

I am not your beast in a cage

I am free and think with my woman brain

and I like it

ah the whore, she always inspires me:)
