Herbs for the Holidays

Season’s greetings from Winter’s Sister Herbals!

I’m pleased to announce that my online shop is BACK IN BUSINESS and full of aesthetically pleasing, delicious, and healing herbal remedies for you and your loved ones. In this newsletter I share a bit about each product and who they’re perfect for, all categorized by price.

I really do have something for everyone. Your little sister who just can’t seem to figure it out? Modern Earthling & an Everybody’s Tonic. Your friends who just had a baby? The Stress Management Bundle. Your coworker who’s always sick? Smoky’s Blend or an Immunity Kit. Obligatory family white elephant gifts? Fire Cider & a bottle of Elderberry Elixir. Your bestie going through a major transition? An astro reading.….you get the picture.

Each of my products came to be out of my clinical work and my own creative exploration of plants. I stick to the gentle herbs I know and love best, keep the formulas simple and as nourishing as possible, and infuse each one with a whole lot of intention and love. Making herbal remedies is a creative process much like writing a poem or choreographing a dance–– the end result is so much more than the sum of its parts.

I’m happy to offer you, dear newsletter reader, a 15% discount on any order in my online shop (gift certificates excluded). Use the checkout code YULE, valid now through December 21st.

Thank you so much for your support this holiday season! Wishing you the best as we move towards winter.

Snowy pines and candlelight,

Clare

[Please note that in order to have your items by the holidays, please place orders no later than noon on Friday, December 20th. After that I will be home for the holidays and orders will not be filled until 2020.]

Before you begin, a quick tip: many of the “pricier” items towards the bottom are actually discounted bundles of individual products that work well together – perfect if you’re having trouble deciding between several things.

$30 and under

Modern Earthling

For the frazzled, freaked, fried and frayed! Modern Earthling is formulated to restore balance within the nervous system, support the adrenals, calm the mind, and relax the body. It contains my favorite nervine herbs, cherished by herbalists for their gentle and nourishing effects. And this new version is formulated with Hawthorn-berry infused raw honey, adding additional heart-softening sweetness to the blend. Non-sedative but relaxing, perfect for taking throughout the day to stay grounded & focused.

Recommended for: anyone really! It’s cute, it tastes great, and we’re all modern earthlings, right? Makes a great stocking stuffer.

Drifting

Drifting, my tried and true sleep elixir, is a simple blend of California Poppy, Blue Vervain, and Skullcap. Each of these herbs is slightly sedative but generally non-groggy. Rather than conk you out (like many sleep medications do), they help the mind and body relax so that at the end of the day, you peacefully drift off and wake up feeling rested.

Recommended for: again, anyone. But especially the people in your life who have trouble sleeping, who lack sleep routines & rituals, who god-forbid take the phone to bed.

Fire Cider

Fire Cider is truly (and now legally) a medicine of the people, and has been in the spotlight this year as herbalists took on capitalist greed– and won! (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, do a quick search for “fire cider lawsuit”) Featuring spicy, warming, and antiviral herbs, Fire Cider is commonly used to support the immune system, to warm sluggish digestion, and to increase circulation throughout the body. It’s easy to make on your own, but sometimes it’s nice to purchase a pretty little bottle from someone else :)

Recommended for: anyone who can get sick. But especially people with kids, people who work with kids, people who get sick easily, and people who are always cold.

TEA COLLECTION $18 EACH

Dream Tea

The name is pretty self-explanatory: you drink it in the evening, it’s relaxing and helps you to feel a little sleepy, and it invokes dreaming. Yep, Mugwort actually does increase our capacity to both have vivid dreams and remember them.

Recommended for: your witchy friends, poets, dreamers, visionaries, and artists. People who have trouble sleeping. People who talk about their dreams, people who don’t remember their dreams.

Like a Mountain

This is my #1 go-to tea. I drink a pot of it almost every day. This gently adaptogenic tea supports daily stress resiliency, cognitive function, and the overall health of the adrenals & nervous system.

Recommended for: anyone! But especially work hard/play hard types, people who don’t drink coffee/people who shouldn’t drink coffee, overly type A loved ones, flaky flighty people, people easily overwhelmed or stressed, new parents.

Smoky’s Blend

Featuring moistening, aromatic, and gentle expectorant herbs, Smoky's Blend supports respiratory health, stress resiliency, and immune function. Use acutely to ease common respiratory ailments, or as a daily tonic that nourishes the nervous system and invites the breath more deeply into the body.

Recommended for: again, anyone. But especially people caught in the cycle of stress and sickness, your uncle who’s had a dry cough since 1982, people who would benefit from a breath practice (read: stressed), yogis, people living near wildfire.

Gut Tea

Digestive health is at the root of vitality! And it affects everything from mental health to stress resiliency, energy levels to immune function, inflammation cascades to reproductive health, and much, much more. Winter’s Sister Gut Tea is my take on a classic gut healing formula. It’s formulated to nourish the tissues that line the gut tract, support overall digestion and absorption, and soothe common digestive ailments.

Recommended for: friends or family members with a history of digestive imbalances, people learning to trust their intuition.

Everybody’s Tonic

Supportive to reproductive health at all ages, Everybody’s Tonic is an ode to the leaves, flowers, and roots that nourish the center of generative force within us all. Balanced and gentle, it can be used as a daily tea to support the reproductive system and ease common imbalances associated with the uterus and ovaries.

Recommended for: people with a uterus, anyone looking to nurture creativity and flow in their lives.
