Bringing together a few of my favourite items for connection with the seasons and nature: the Year in Herbs journal, a tin of healing herb-infused beeswax balm (two options available), and a beeswax candle.
Perfect for setting a moment aside to connect with ‘plants with purpose’.
I’ll wrap each item in tissue and tie it with ribbon to make a lovely nature-inspired giftable bundle.
The Journal introduces you to one healing plant per month, through recipes, remedies and reflections. The plants included are locally abundant or easy to identify and find. Local artist Kate Millbank created a linocut print for each month’s herb, a beautiful creative touchstone with the plants. The Journal is un-dated, so can be started any time throughout the year.
OPTION 1 - skin healing balm is a blend of 3 infused oils, made into a balm with my bees’ wax. Combining Daisy (Bellis perennis) for bruising, Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) with it’s antihistamine for relieving itches & stings, and Nettle (Urtica dioica) as a soothing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. These herbs are infused separately in organic cold-pressed sunflower oil then blended in equal ratios and made into a balm by melting in beeswax from my garden apiary. I add a few drops of naturally derived Vitamin E oil to increase the salve’s shelf-life, and some Lavender (Lavandula officinalis) essential oil for its soothing aroma.
OPTION 2 - decongestant chest rub this is also a beeswax based balm, this time using an oil infused with Eucalyptus, Pine, Sage and Thyme. These aromatic herbs are infused whole, and then combined with our own beeswax and Olbas Oil essential oil drops to help open blocked airways. This is a natural alternative to ‘Vicks vapour rub’!
The beeswax candle is 100% natural beeswax, so smells like the inside of a beehive! These are sourced from another Scottish beekeeper, and I love how these add to the mindful intention of this little bundle.
These gift bags are available for local collection only, or I can deliver in the North Berwick area. Please get in touch to arrange.
