Warm The Heart Of Winter Witchery on Feb 22, 2020
5 out of 5 starsBest Pain Butter I have ever received from the best herbal salve maker. Sara pays so much living attention to her butters and it shows! I literally cannot be without this salve. It only takes a small amount but for my severe arthritis and Fibro pain I use it at least twice a day. Also it lasts forever. Thanks Sara you make my life more comfortable!

5 out of 5 starsI slipped on the ice and was kind of sore, using the dragon’s blood bath bomb was like nirvana. Best bath bomb I’ve ever had and a very relaxing bath.

5 out of 5 starsThe whipped facial butter tallow is exceptional !! I love this stuff. It is my go-to nowadays. If I feel my face is dry, irritated, or showing recent stressors (!) I just smother it on and by the next day my face feels like mine again. It will look and feel healthier and younger - over night. I also recently used this precious face tallow - on my young daughters hands. She got carried away with washing her hands and they quickly became dry and red by the next day. She dislikes the burn of lotion by the time they get so dry, so I crossed my fingers that the tallow would soothe the back of her little chapped hands. By morning they were more than half all better, and I was able to then apply lotion to her skin with no burning or fussing. The facial butter did not disappoint!

✨🍃Just like people, every herb has a story. It is up to us to find out the healing magic they hold, and share it with the world. 🍃✨
I found my love for herbs when I was preparing for the birth of my first son in 2006. Since then I have felt the call to learn as much as possible about the medicinal uses of herbs and to make remedies from them.
It has been a dream of mine for quite some time now to open an apothecary in town. Right now this Etsy shop is as close as I can get.
I love making medicinal magic with herbs I grow or harvest myself. As of this year (2018) I have started cutting back on purchasing herbs from other countries and am expanding my herb garden to grow many herbs here at the farm. This means many of my preparations are seasonal and won't be back in stock until the following season.
When I am wild harvesting, I try to seek out the best locations (free of pesticides/herbicides, and pollution), and I also make sure that a sufficient amount of the plant is growing to not deplete it.
The process I use to dry my homegrown/harvested plant material isn't actually drying at all. It is called curing, and no heat is used to remove the moisture. This leaves a dry product that has a more vibrant color as well as a richer medicinal value.
I hope you enjoy shopping with me, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. My main goal is to teach you to not need me (as should every herbalist's goal be.) The more we teach the knowledge of plants the more self sufficient we can be in providing our own health.
Brightest Blessings,
Sara

Frequently asked questions
Where do you get your herbs?
We live on a 5 acre farm in Wisconsin that is nestled by the Red Cedar River and surrounded by about 80 acres of wild land. Many of the herbs are harvested directly from our land, or ethically harvested from clean land in the area.
Are they Organic?
The herbs that we grow or wild-craft are never sprayed with any type of chemical or pesticide, our water is pure and polished by the gravel we live on. The last time it was tested the lab said they hadn't seen water that pure.
I strive to find the highest quality herbs when sourcing away from home.
Many of the herbs I purchase are Certified Organic, but because I am not, I cannot claim that they are, so they are labeled as "Organically Grown".
What type of training have you had as an herbalist?
I have been studying herbs and natural living since 2006. I consider my self a life long learner. Meaning I will never be finished learning about herbs, there are just far too many and so much knowledge, and more and more things are being discovered.
I consider myself self taught, but I gather my information from personal experiences, and many herbalists around the world.
What type of alcohol do you use to make your tinctures?
I only use Vodka, either 80 or 100 proof, which ever I can get. The only time I use a higher proof is when making perfume tinctures, and that is diluted way down before it ever goes on your skin.
