The weather is perfect for picking herbs for drying, for tea over winter. If your medicinal plants are dried properly you can have medicine all through the winter.
If you are more interested in the spiritual aspect of the plant kingdom and would like to make a deeper connection with Mother Earth and the Divine Feminine, have a look at the Wise Woman Way training. https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/wise-woman-way/ which is a transpersonal course drawing on shamanic and druidic techniques.

Herb Robert is an old fashioned herb, rarely thought of today but so useful for our technological age of the 21st century.

If you would like to make your own tincture here are the steps to follow.
1) Harvest the plant - never taking more than 5-10%. Chop the plant as finely as you can to ensure there is maximum surface area for extraction.
2) Place the chopped herb (which could be flowers, leaves, seeds, roots or bark) into a clean jam jar and cover with alcohol such as vodka. Make sure it is 40% proof (for Europe) or 80 - 100% proof in US. Give it a stir to remove any bubbles.
3) Keep the tincture for 6 weeks minimum and then strain out the plant material. Place the tincture into a brown bottle or into a bottle with a brown paper around it. That is it!! Use when needed - approximately 1/2 to 1 Tsp per dose.
Thanks for watching! xx
