I drank her floral teas when I was pregnant and in labour, her calendula balm really helped my son’s eczema and my whole family enjoyed warding off winter colds with her elderberry syrup. Steph really knows her onions when it comes to natural products that help soothe, heal and protect your body and calm the mind. She puts so much heart into growing, concocting and packaging it all up for you”

A simple but powerful balm made with 3 ingredients: organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, beautiful St John’s Wort flowers and beeswax from conscious and natural Sussex beekeeper Carl.
The St John’s Wort flowers were gathered on the height of Summer on the Summer Solstice and infused fresh in organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil in a glass jar for 3 lunar cycles. The infused oil is then strained and mixed with beeswax to create a solid balm which softens as it warms in between the hands.
St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a beautiful plant ally with sunshine yellow blooms. Their juice is a garnet colour and gives this balm its rich colour. The blood red juice from the buds contains hypericin and other antioxidants which offer nerve and antiviral protection. Best applied throughout the day for acute viral breakouts & nerve pain. A great remedy for bruising, burns and nerve pain in the shoulders/neck.
In ritual, it offers protection and is supportive for the heart and womb space, , beautiful to work with during moontime to offer protection when feeling vulnerable to taking on outside energies. Supportive of the heart chakra, rubbing over the heart.
Extra virgin olive oil is rich in Vitamin E, an antioxidant which supports the skin
Beeswax provides a protective barrier that seals in moisture and nourishes the skin, allowing it to heal naturally without being suffocated.
Crafted with seasonal herbs in small batches, each blend may vary slightly.
