They’re heeerrrreee!! Finally, I got my act together and made this years batch of dead nettle balm! After setting aside some personal portions for myself and my pops, I have 10 4oz tins for sale! $12 each, pickup or delivery only.

I took the best of my concoctions from last season and made a formula that would be gentle enough to use often, for children to use, and versatile enough to treat many different skin ailments! is the main ingredient, followed by , and just a sprinkle of in and . This should be even more Mack daddy than the one from last year! I was better at picking prime flowering dead nettle and processing it. Improvement is so freaking awesome.

Meid a medicinal tea blend for my dad today. I focused in on two of his ailments: circulation and wound healing. For circulation I used oxidized mulberry leaf and yarrow. For wound healing, I combined self heal, stinging nettle and agrimony. To support these main herbs, I added lambs ear, coneflower, and elderflower. And because this blend has some bitter and latex qualities, I added Virginia mountain mint and bee balm, for flavor. I make custom blends for my own use all the time, hit me up if you’d like me to create one for you too.

What’s everyone’s pre and post work, anti-maskne skin routines? Before my long, sweaty ass serving or bartending shift, I wash my face and put on a light moisturizer (snail face cream) and a zit cream, no makeup. After work, I wash my face immediately, and put on my homemade St. John’s wort infused oil and more zit stuff. On off days, I use my homemade comfrey and yarrow salve. So far, face is mostly intact.
