Nettle, raspberry leaf and Mullen tea for nourishment, energy, cisgender women’s hormone balance and lung detox. Very healing post heat wave.🌿

Decided to get out of the house. Been healing. Heat wave finally over here in Massachusetts. The walk & flowers were good medicine.🌸

Nature heals.🌻🪷🪻

Arriving in western Mass. It’s been mostly rainy, which is good catching up on sleep and for luscious plant life. I even dipped in the icy pond when it was 90 this week.

Setting up my home, planting seeds & resting.
