List of the most popular hashtags for theme #GROWYOUROWNMEDICINE

Spent yesterday in the real world creating five raised garden beds for veggies from sun up to sunset —just me, a shovel, a wheelbarrow, and a cordless drill. Finally get to chill, check the web, and my morning Facebook post marketing my flower essences had resulted in a shit storm. . I had received full-on harassment from over half a dozen people throughout the day telling me I was going to kill people and that I shouldn’t be selling my products because “didn’t I know nightshades are poisonous and deadly? Obviously, how dumb must I be?” . What a gut punch. . The comments were disastrous so I am going to cover some ground rules about my social media accounts. . If you can take the time to leave a hateful and ignorant comment on my social media but you can’t take the time to visit my website & read my info to see if maybe this woman know what she’s doing —ya banned. . FYI this account belongs to an online herbal apothecary solely run by me, Sarah Lawless (#sarahannelawless), a professional herbalist who has specialized in #medicinalnightshades and the #poisonpath for a decade now. I am one of the only western herbalists solely focusing on these poisonous but potently medicinal plants. I regularly teach at conferences and festivals to help dispel the fear and misinformation surrounding these amazing plants. . This is not a generic witchy page or generic page on poisonous plant info. I actually make things with the plants and sell them. I grow these plants, I research them, and I write about them. This page is for my products and art. If you have a problem with it —don’t like or follow my account. If someone shared my post and my work is new to you, maybe try to not be a dick just like any normal social interaction. . #banefolk #poisonousplants #veneficium #venefica #poisonasmedicine #banefulherbs #witchherbs #folkmedicine #folkherbalism #growyourownmedicine #herbalismisactivism #herbalism #herbalist #apothecary #dontbeadick #mannersmatter #makeyourmamacry #yousuck

tea making day! it's time for summer flavors like hibiscus, lemon verbena, strawberry mint and raspberries, my favorite flavors to work with. this garden is going absolutely nuts so there will be much more tea in the near future. need something? $5 for a 4oz tin filled with around 1oz of tea (depending on the herb) all herbs organic and homegrown, fruit is all organic and home dehydrated. currently local hand-deliveries only, when the shop opens I will ship anywhere. #looseleaftea #teanerd #growityourself #tea #herbnerd #growyourownmedicine #growfoodnotlawns #herbalremedies #herbaltea #makeityourself #growyourown #homegrowntea #teamaking #lavendertea #lemonbalmtea #hibiscustea #lemonverbena #igrewthis #gardengeek #strawberrymint

Garden harvest I was working with this morning: gallica and rugosa roses, milky oats, red clover, st. John's wort, and a few random little things. The oats became a vinegar infusion and a tincture. Red clover became a tincture. The Hypericum is macerating in sunflower seed oil and some of the rose petals are in honey while the rest are drying. What are you working with today?

Tip: Walk through the garden (or graze your container/windowsill garden) each morning to gather a handful of herbs - lemon balm, tulsi, pineapple sage, peppermint, spearmint, rosemary, rose petals, etc. - and put them in a pitcher of water. Keep the pitcher in the fridge and use it to fill your water bottle throughout the day.

working with yarrow today! she's taken over a corner of the medicinal garden and is so lovely. yarrow has so many great qualities, she's excellent for fevers, digestion, pms, headaches, pain relief and utis. making a tincture and yarrow-infused sunflower oil #growyourownmedicine #yarrowmedicine #herbalremedies #folkmedicine #yarrow #tincture #greenwitch #growherbsnotlawns #growityourself #homegrown #yarrowtincture #herbalismrecipes #herbalmedicine #folkmethod #herbnerd #igrewthis #pacificnwlife #portlandgardens #medicinalgarden #growyourown #masonjar #hedgewitch #healyourself #pacificnwplants #adventuresinherbalism

Thank you to all you wonderful people who came out to Herbstalk this weekend. I always feel wary of the exhaustion that comes with doing shows like this and I forget how wonderful it is to see you all. Thank you for visiting with me, supporting my little seedling of a business, sharing your stories and inspiration, appreciating the pottery, reconnecting after many years or since the last Herbstalk, sharing your love of the plants, and all the hugs (I am convinced I get more hugs than any other potter out there). I am indeed exhausted today and so fulfilled from all the love. A huge thank you to the @herbstalk crew, volunteers, and teachers for making the magic happen, it’s so wonderful to be a part of. (If you *need* that shirt too, head on over to @introvertedbutwillingtodiscuss )

spent the afternoon making lush shea butter salves I used the herbal infused coconut oils I made a while back and added beeswax and Shea butter. just used the sunburn salve on my wicked sunburn and it feels great- calendula-infused coconut oil with wax, shea, lavender and peppermint. the other four: moisturizing salve with rose petal infused coconut oil and sandalwood, energizing salve made with rosemary infused oil and sweet orange, sore muscle salve made with arnica infused oil, eucalyptus and lemongrass, and relaxation salve made with lavender infused coconut oil and chamomile I could grow plants and do plant crafts all day if I could. #igrewthis #herbnerd #medicinalherbs #infusedoil #herbalsalve #makeyourownmedicine #plantmedicine #growyourownmedicine #growherbsnotlawns #growyourown #sunburnsalve #herbalremedies #folkremedies #sheabutter #herbalismrecipes #greenwitch #folkmedicine #healyourself #homemadesalve #makeyourowncosmetics #herbalistsofig #herbalist #demystifyyourmedicine #hedgewitch #herblife #arnicaoil #rosemedicine

You have but slumbered here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream ~ A Midsummer Night's Dream Inspired by the magic of @thegardensprite at IHS with her mocktail playshop. I'm trying out adding flower essences and hydrosols to my mixes with bitters . . . . #mocktails #cocktailrecipes #herbalbitters #bitters #midsommar
