Heart Helper Tincture is a blend of Hawthorn Berry Tincture, Motherwort Flowering Tops Tincture and Rose Petal Glycerine in equal parts with the intention to offer support to both the physical and the emotional heart.
 
	
Hawthorn Berry Tincture: (Crataegus spp.) Hawthorn berries (and the flower too) are known to be one of the best cardiotonics of the herb world. It is useful for both the heart muscle and the emotional heart. The hawthorn tree has these huuuuge thorns all along the branches, even when the trees are just babies, yet they are so giving with their fruits, offering hundreds or thousands of thumbnail sized red berries to the animals and herbalists who pass by. The thorns protect the hawthorn tree from over grazing and I find the energy of protection translates to the medicine it offers as well, helping us to have better boundaries with our heart while still being able to give abundantly.
Production Notes: This tincture was made in 2021 with fresh hawthorn berries from the wild and abundant hawthorn trees growing along the stream of our farm.
 
	
Motherwort Tincture: (Leonurus cardiaca) is a fabulous wild and weedy plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It has a history of use for a variety of common ailments including as a digestive bitter, an anxiety soother- especially with excessive worrying (like that of a mother who worries of her kids), and for working to help regulate the heart activity rhythm, lowering blood presure and as a cardiotonic.
Production Notes: This tincture in organic cane alcohol was from volunteer (grew without me planting it) Leonurus plants that popped up in my garden, 2021.
 
	
Rose Glycerite: (Rosa spp.) my heart leaps with joy just thinking of the aroma and effect of the powerful and graceful rose! Rose brings a softness to the heart. I relied heavily on rose glycerite after a painful loss of a loved one and this medicine really helped me to find joy again. I include it in this blend to offer some warmth and sweetness.
 
Production Notes: made from dried rose petals from Pacific Botanicals in 100% organic vegetable glycerine in 2021.
