Whether submerged in a forest-nestled hot spring, floating on the surface of a high mountain lake, or luxuriating in the warm lapping ocean, water is an essential element for physical and emotional well-being. Taking time to bathe in the ancient restorative power that water offers can be transformative, and sometimes this simple pleasure is the perfect medicine for whatever ails us. The sensuous comfort water provides connects us back to both our bodies and the Earth’s beauty.

If you find yourself plucking petals over whether or not you actually love Valentine's Day, it's good to remember that February 14 is a nice excuse to honor that special someone in your life. Why not reinvent the holiday by pampering your best friend or beautiful lover with pure herbal decadence? 

The holiday season can be a hectic time with feasts and gatherings and travel, but it also offers a special opportunity to reflect on the precious things that bring joy and comfort to our lives. A hot cup of tea, a spoonful of fire cider, a bowl of delicious curried soup, or a dab of homemade perfume on the wrist are all small reminders of how herbs enhance our everyday experiences...

It's snack time!
