Herbal Information

Agrimony

Agrimony has traditionally been used in natural skin care to support skin comfort and tone, particularly in cases where the skin feels irritated or unsettled. This herb is often associated with tightening and calming properties, making it a valuable ingredient in botanical products aimed at restoring balance to the skin. Beyond its external applications, agrimony has also been valued in traditional herbal remedies for its gentle, steady nature. 


We gather agrimony in season in smaller quantities, as it tends to grow in scattered patches rather than dense clusters. It is dried carefully and utilized where its balancing qualities can be best supported, often in oils, salves, or teas depending on the condition of the plant at harvest. Each use is determined by what the land provides at that time and how the plant presents itself in that moment.

Calendula

Calendula is widely recognized in natural skin care for its ability to support skin comfort and recovery, particularly when the skin feels dry, reactive, or requires gentle care. Known for its steady, soothing nature, it is often selected for herbal products that aim to restore the skin's balance without overwhelming it. Grown and harvested in season, calendula is handled with care during the drying process to maintain both its color and strength. It is utilized in various traditional herbal remedies, including oils, salves, and bath products, depending on the flowers' development and their offerings at the time of harvest, with each batch reflecting the plant's condition as received.

Comfrey

Comfrey has long been recognized in traditional herbal remedies for its ability to support skin repair and restoration, especially for areas that are overworked or strained. This powerful herb is known for aiding the body’s natural response to stress on the skin, making it a popular choice in herbal products focused on recovery and surface support.


In this process, comfrey is gathered in season and prepared through slow oil infusions, allowing its full properties to be drawn out without rushing the method. It is primarily used in salves and oils, where deeper, steady support is essential, with each batch reflecting the condition of the plant at the time it was harvested, making it an integral part of natural skin care.

Dandelion

Dandelion is widely used in various herbal products to support the body in maintaining balance, particularly through its leaves, flowers, and roots, each offering unique benefits. It is often associated with steady, whole-body support and has long been valued as a traditional herbal remedy for its ability to assist the body in clearing and resetting over time.


Collected in stages as each part becomes ready, dandelion is handled based on what the plant offers at that moment. Flowers may be transformed into oils or salves for natural skin care, while leaves are often prepared for teas, with each use determined by the condition of the plant and the needs of the season.

Dead Nettle (Purple Dead Nettle)

Dead nettle is commonly used in natural skin care to support skin that feels irritated or reactive, offering a gentle, balancing presence early in the growing season. It is often one of the first plants to appear, making it a reliable option for herbal products when other materials are not yet available. 


Found in early patches, it is gathered while fresh and handled in small batches to preserve its responsiveness. This plant is utilized in traditional herbal remedies such as salves, oils, and teas, depending on how it presents itself, with each batch shaped by the short window in which it is available.

Elder (Elderflower / Elderberry)

Elder is widely recognized for its role in supporting the body through seasonal shifts, particularly when the system feels run down or out of balance. Both the flowers and berries are valued in various herbal products, each offering different forms of support depending on how they are prepared. 


Flowers are gathered in season and dried for teas or used in bath preparations, making them a popular choice in natural skin care. Meanwhile, berries are collected later and handled separately as they become available. Each part is processed according to its stage of growth, allowing the plant to be utilized fully across the season as part of traditional herbal remedies.

Jewelweed

Jewelweed is traditionally used in natural skin care to support skin exposed to environmental irritants, especially during the warmer months when contact with plants and insects is more common. Known for its quick, cooling response, it is often sought after in herbal products where immediate support is needed.


Typically found in moist areas, jewelweed is gathered fresh and used promptly due to its high water content. It is most often prepared for salves or field-use applications, with handling focused on preserving its natural qualities before they begin to break down, making it a favored choice among traditional herbal remedies.

Lemon Balm

Lemon balm is traditionally used as one of the effective herbal products to support calm and balance, especially when the body or mind feels unsettled. It carries a gentle, uplifting quality that makes it suitable for regular use. 


Gathered in season and dried with care to preserve its scent and character, lemon balm is frequently incorporated into teas and bath blends, making it a popular choice in natural skin care routines. Its preparation focuses on maintaining its lighter qualities, allowing it to be used consistently as a part of traditional herbal remedies without becoming overpowering.

Lyreleaf Sage

Lyreleaf sage is a milder member of the sage family, traditionally appreciated for its ability to support balance and gentle clearing, particularly where the body or skin feels unsettled. This herb is a valuable addition to herbal products, as it carries a lighter presence than common sage, making it suitable for more frequent or everyday use without overwhelming the system. 


Found growing in smaller patches, lyreleaf sage is gathered in season and dried slowly to preserve its structure and subtle qualities. It is commonly used in teas, bath blends, and select preparations, particularly in natural skin care, where a lighter, more balanced support is preferred. Each batch of lyreleaf sage is shaped by the condition of the plant at the time it is harvested, reflecting its role in traditional herbal remedies.

Mint

Mint is commonly used in traditional herbal remedies to support digestion and provide a sense of cooling and clarity. Its bright, refreshing nature makes it a versatile plant in both internal and external preparations, including various herbal products and natural skin care solutions. 


Harvested regularly as it grows, mint is dried for teas or incorporated into blends where a lighter, more refreshing element is needed. Its fast growth allows for multiple harvests, with each batch reflecting the conditions at the time it was gathered.

Mugwort

Mugwort has long been utilized in traditional herbal remedies to support the body through tension, circulation, and seasonal shifts. This salve, made from mugwort harvested in season, is infused slowly to retain its full character. Earthy and warming, it is often incorporated into evening routines or applied to areas of the body that carry stress and fatigue. Each batch reflects the timing and conditions of the harvest, showcasing the essence of quality herbal products in natural skin care.

Mullein

Mullein is traditionally used in various herbal products to support the respiratory system and to soothe areas that feel dry, tight, or irritated. Its soft, velvety leaves are known for their gentle nature, making it a steady choice in natural skin care where comfort and ease are needed rather than intensity.


Harvested in stages as the leaves mature, mullein is dried carefully to maintain its texture and color without trapping moisture. It is commonly used in teas and oils, depending on the condition of the plant at the time of harvest. Each batch is handled with care to preserve its softness and to support its intended use as one of the many traditional herbal remedies.

Plantain

Plantain has traditionally been used in natural skin care to support skin that feels irritated, reactive, or environmentally stressed. Often associated with soothing and grounding qualities, it has long been valued in salves, oils, and herbal preparations designed for everyday skin support.


Found along paths, fields, and disturbed ground, plantain is gathered in season and prepared carefully to preserve its broad leaves and cooling character. It is frequently infused into oils for salves and skin preparations, with each batch shaped by the conditions of the season, the soil, and the environment in which it grew.

St. John's Wort

St. John’s Wort has traditionally been utilized in herbal preparations intended to support the body through periods of tension, nerve sensitivity, and seasonal imbalance. Recognized for its bright yellow flowers and distinctive red-infused oil, it is commonly prepared in oils and salves designed for focused botanical support.


Harvested during its flowering stage, St. John’s Wort is often infused fresh to preserve its vivid color and traditional properties. Timing plays an important role in its preparation, with sunlight, season, and growing conditions all influencing the character of the final botanical.

Violet

Violet has long been appreciated in traditional herbal practices for its gentle, cooling nature and its association with skin comfort and balance. Its leaves and flowers are frequently incorporated into oils, salves, and botanical preparations intended for delicate or sensitive areas.


Gathered in early spring when growth is tender and vibrant, violet is prepared carefully to preserve its soft character. Because violet changes quickly with heat and seasonal shifts, each harvest reflects a brief moment in the growing season and the unique conditions surrounding it.
