Herbal medicine

Hope everyone is  having a great Saturday. Today it is very windy in the UK. I attempted to go for a run at the waterfront. I spent half the time chasing after my hat and trying not to get sand in my eyes from the huge gusts of wind haha.
I spent the rest of the day in the kitchen. What can I say I can't get enough of herbal medicine. I have been readings tons of articles and books on the subject. Nothing feels better to me than using your hands to create herbal creations that are good for your health and well-being. I feel I connect with my ancestors this way. Thousands of years ago do you think our ancestors ran to the neatest store when hey had a cut, scrape or cold. 

Today I made some healing salve made from olive oil, beeswax and coconut oil. A salve in a medicinal ointment that soothes or heals the surface of the body. I get into such a flow with I create these goodies. I have music play, a candle burning and incense burning. I have also made lip balm, body butter and deodorant in a jar. My next goal is to learn to make tinctures and herbal infused oils. These will take 4 to 6 weeks to create. These are fold remedies that you need to patient to create.
My life has been so much better since I quit social media back in May. I have found my love of a new hobby.

Enjoy the rest of August.
