North Wind Apothecary

We are so excited to announce that Rylan was asked to participate in this wonderful educational event! It is free, and there will be a live Q&A afterwards. This was a fascinating piece to study, and creating the ancient recipes to try was great fun.

Our very good friend Whitney (who is one of the best medicine makers we have ever known) is offering this series on the basics of making herbal preparations totally FREE! It is a really stellar deal, and we can't recommend her enough. Y'all should check it out!

One of our favorite plant allies! Also, continually re-affirming the strength of tree medicine. https://www.theguardian.com//could-the-willow-help-us-figh

We are very proud to fully support the work of our very good friends at Well Deep Remedies!

We are in a time of great change. Society itself is passing through a crucible of loss and transformation unlike anything many of us have ever seen. Hardship, suffering, and fear run like currents through our social circles and communities, but alongside them the threads of something new and powerful are being woven together, also. We at North Wind Apothecary want to be there with you. We are transitioning our services into the magic of digital space to more safely and access...ibly provide healing, guidance, and care to everyone during this defining moment for humanity. We are also very pleased to announce that we have significantly reduced the price of our appointments, and added in a sliding scale option with limited monthly availability prioritizing those most deeply affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, especially frontline 'essential workers' and those displaced by the shelter-in-place orders. Our ancestors turned to their plant allies during great crisis throughout history and this is no different. North Wind Apothecary is as resilient as the thistle and pragmatic as the pine. We want to help you call in that energy, also. Reach out to us today to set up an appointment or if you have any questions about services and offerings: [email protected]

In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, if any local herbalists need any advice or an informational refresh about immune function, basic viral protocols, or suggestions for prevention and treatment in this situation: please feel free to reach out to me. I am happy to help.

This looks like a truly divine workshop, taught by some of our favorite people!

Sat with this beautiful flower bath today that was prepared to help someone's body and spirit heal from intimate trauma. I think the Ladies approve. I am always so grateful to be able to do this work. #clinicalherbalist #plantmagic *Image Description: a blue porcelain bowl with a Chinese motif sits on a wooden altar. To the left is a bronze statue of the Greek goddess of Healing, Hygeia. Centered is a mixed media art piece depicting the Scottish goddess of Healing, Airmed. To the right is a iconic depiction of Saint Hildegarde Von Bingen in the style of the Black Madonna. The bowl contains a vibrant blend of yellow calendula blossoms, red rose petals, and green yarrow leaves. Lit offering candles surround the scene.
