Welcome to the
Winter Medicine Kits of 2024
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE SUPPORT.
PREORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2024 BECAUSE WE ARE AT CAPACITY!
With these offerings, I am returning to my roots in honoring both the physical healing properties and the spiritual resonant nature of our beloved plant kin that make up the medicines in these storied medicine kits. Prayerful intention for our collective healing runs deep in these preparations - from growing, to gathering, to formulating and preparing - every step is touched by intention and utmost care. We hope you welcome these medicines and feel the deep and practical support they are meant to bring you in sustenance, staying power, and renewal through the winter and beyond.
If you’d consider contributing to our community care fund, we’d greatly appreciate it. We make thousands of dollars of small-batch organic medicines and plant medicine education available to community members who could otherwise not access them.
Forest Home Winter Medicine Kit
Medicine from the Earth - Nourishment, Mending, Wisdom from the Deep, Cleansing, and Protection
This kit brings the fortifying, deep, rich strength of the Earth into our bodies, homes, families, and communities. Seamlessly weaving a blend of old-school kitchen/culinary medicines and remedies to aid with the ailments and tests of both winter and trying times.
The Forest Home Winter Medicine Kit includes the following medicines:
The Book of the North - Earth Dweller: Forest Guardians, Ancestral Ways, and Bone Deep Wisdom
The medicine booklets each contain writings on corresponding elements, archetypes, plants, animals, teachings, rituals, and recipes.
Forest Dweller Balsam and Spice Immune-Boosting Chai - 6 oz. by volume
This tea is a wonderful, warming, immune-boosting blend that weaves the fortitude of the north woods with the warming sun of India. It helps to simultaneously calm and invigorate.
All organic ingredients: wildcrafted balsam fir needles, black tea, cinnamon chips, cardamom, tellicherry peppercorns, and cloves.
Instructions: 1-2 tsps per 8 oz boiling water - warm your cup with hot water while bringing tea water to a boil - steep chai for 10 minutes, lift tea leaves, and add honey (or preferred sweetener) and cream/plant milk.
Jaga’s Hut - Strong Bones Mineral Vinegar - 16 oz.
This formula does so much to protect our health. A simple and outstanding daily nutritive supplement that not only serves as a concentrated source of the minerals we need but also helps us to better absorb the minerals already present in our meals. Minerals are best drawn into vinegar as a medium and are essential to every aspect of our health.
All organic ingredients: apple cider vinegar and seasonal mineral-rich green herbs (winter 2024 blend is made from leaves of nettle, comfrey, and gorgeous rainbow lacinato kale).
Instructions: one tablespoon daily works wonders to boost our vitality and endurance. If you are a vinegar lover (they are among us) you can pop one tablespoon into a glass of water to sip before or through your mealtime. I’ve found that most people prefer their tablespoon of goodness integrated into soups, stews, salad dressings, etc.
Important note: while you can eat this potion in warm/hot foods, you don’t want to cook it. Please stir your spoonful into hot foods once you serve them.
Dark Forest Bitters - 2 oz.
Rich and earthy, this wonderful potion is both, a beautiful stand-alone that warms the body and stimulates digestion, and an excellent addition to winter mocktails, cocktails, and warm beverages.
All organic ingredients: brandy, cacao nibs, roasted chicory and dandelion root, double processed reishi mushroom, red rose petals, cardamom, clove, orange peel, vanilla bean, and elderberries.
Instructions: take two droppers full on the tongue or sip in a glass of water (sparkling is fine) before your meal. Add to warm tea or cocoa any time of night or day or enjoy in mocktails and cocktails
Bone-Deep Medicinal Healing Soak - 32 oz.
Great for addressing fevers, aches, and general winter doldrums or malaise. A blend of healing herbs and salts, Bone Deep can be used in a bath, shower scrub, or medicinal and revitalizing foot soak. That said, if you are feeling on the edge of getting sick I strongly recommend that you take the darn medicinal bath and then take yourself to bed.
Organic/wildcrafted ingredients: cedar, yarrow, birch leaves, red rose, marigold petals - sea salt and epsom salt.
Instructions: make a strong “tea” by placing 1/2 - 1 cup of the mixture into a quart jar, pouring boiling water over it, covering it and letting it infuse for at least a half hour. You can either pour this infused potion through a strainer (I like the herbs floating in the tub with me) straight into the tub, into a large bowl for foot soaking, and/or pouring it into something non-breakable that you can take into the shower with you to wash vigorously from head to toe.
Juniper Cleansing Smoke Stick
A traditional blessing and cleansing plant of my own, and many other ancestral lands, I have harvested, blessed, and imbued these bundles with care every step of the way.
Earthbound Healing Salve - 2 oz.
This salve brings the deep mending of the earth’s rich green plant kin to relieve itching, bruising, cuts (once cleaned), cracking, and dry skin.
All organic ingredients: olive oil slow infused with comfrey, violet, and cleaver leaves
Salt of the Earth Purple Sage Leaf and Juniper Berry Salt - 2 oz.
A rich, beautiful, pungent, and earthy culinary delight that pairs especially well with wintry root vegetables, roasts and cabbage dishes
Ingredients: mineral-rich sea salt, organic/wild-crafted purple garden sage, and juniper berries

Mutual Regard - Culture Mending Medicine - 1 oz.
A beautiful resonant medicine that brings the golden light of right relationship, interconnection, interconnection, and a sense of belonging into our daily lives.
Resonant medicines help us to bring our own vibe into harmony with the generous and resplendent vibe (resonance) of this gorgeous garden in space called earth. As a culture-mending medicine, Mutual Regard helps us to dismantle systems of violence (within us and in the world) and reconnect with our ancestral inheritance of a culture of common sovereignty - a culture in which the sanctity of every presence on earth is properly honored. White Yarrow Flower Essence helps us to honor our own sacred boundaries and personal sovereignty (what we accept), while Linden Flower Essence helps us be conscious of and responsible for our impact on the sovereignty of all other beings (what we dish).
Ingredients: organic brandy, filtered water, rosewater, local honey, flower essences of linden and white yarrow, and food-grade gold mica.

Safe Passage Medicine Kit
Medicine of the Setting and Rising Sun - Descent, Surrender, Dissolution, Recollection, Renewal, and Emergence
In all honesty, this medicine kit comes out of my own reverent and humbling grieving process this past year. So much in the world is on fire, and so much harm is coming to the people, places, beings, and traditions we love - often met by our devastating feelings of helplessness or rage. But I am a firm believer in the necessary power of imagination to help us not only see beyond empire and its never-ending violence - but to MOVE beyond empire and into a world of right relationship. In my experience, there is no such movement without honest grieving and we need support with that. My hope and prayer is that these medicines can support all of us in the deep restoration required to help us summon our power and make healing change in the world.
The Safe Passage Winter Medicine Kit includes the following medicines:
The Book of West to East - Dream Calling: Collective Memory, Sacred Grieving, and Cultural Reimagination
The medicine booklets each contain writings on corresponding elements, archetypes, plants, animals, teachings, rituals, and recipes.
Tears of Magdalene Oceanic Body Blessing Concentrate - 8 oz .
A medicine to wash and bless the grieving heart and to help move grief through the body - it restores connection with the ancestors and archetypes who hold the threshold to the times before - the dreaming cave - the light within, and emergence.
Distilled water - Organic ingredients: flower essences of: moonflower, Northwoods ghost pipe, and forget-me-not - labradorite gem elixir - labdanum and rose essential oils, vodka as a preservative. Sea salt.

Dream Tea - Nerve Nourishing Herbal tea Blend for Rest and Renewal - 32 oz. by volume
The ritual of an evening cup of tea, a lost ancestral art, is calming and healing in and of itself. Add to that a wonderful blend of healing, calming, quieting, and balming herbs and you’re all set. Dream Tea is meant to be the beginning of your dream time preparations: an after dinner earthy elixir, it reminds you to start dimming the lights, turning off screens, and support your body’s natural inclination to gear down for dreamtime.
All organic ingredients: passionflower, melissa, lemon verbena, tulsi, and rose.
Instructions: place 1-2 tablespoons of tea blend in your (warmed) cup or pop it into a tea infuser and place that in your cup, pour boiling water over mixture to fill cup, cover, and steep for a minimum 10 minutes. You can enjoy as is or add just a touch of sweetener and your Kindred Spirits elixir.
Dreaming Well - Medicine for Deep Rest - 4 oz.
Passionflower is an outstanding nerve tonic and general anti-anxiety aid and I am blessed to have her covering the Eastern wall of my home during later summer months. I have learned of her vast beauty and efficacy through many years of relationship and direct experience. Dreaming Well (a slightly adapted version of the formula previously called Deep Rest) is a beautiful blend of passionflower, rose, pomegranate, and vanilla bean, to honor our body’s need for rest, especially in the time of descending and dreaming, the dark half of the year.

Instructions: 2-4 droppers as needed
Willing Heart Resonant Medicine - 1 oz.

All organic ingredients: distilled water, essences of moonflower, Northwoods ghost pipe essence, and forget-me-not. Labradorite gem elixir - Michigan maple syrup and organic brandy as a preservative. Carrying the blessings of the waters of Lake Michigan
Heart’s Ease Medicinal Elixir - 4 oz.
In the world of plant medicines, these three are a holy trinity of heart-mending magic! Motherwort leaves and flowers, hawthorne berries, and luscious red roses are all slow infused into organic brandy and then blessed with a touch of local honey and deep port wine to bring about the experience of levity and sweetness. This synergistic potion lifts the spirits, quiets the heart, and eases loneliness and despair.
