Fireweed, arnica, valerian, baneberry….all are blooming high up at Alta where I will be leading an herb walk from 11-2 on August 6. Some of them are in THRIVE TONIC. Can’t wait! Go to http://www.millcreekherbs.com to sign up.

Customers report that they have purchased many of the ingredients in THRIVE TONIC in pill form. Nettle, turmeric, cinnamon,,,,They are delighted to have all of it in one pleasant tasting daily dose. reorders are pouring in.

My arnica oil turned out perfectly and I am so pleased. It is one of the top sellers along with THRIVE TONIC at the farmer’s market. We have a lot of rock climbers around here and they like it for bruises. I give the St. John’s Wort oil to them if the skin is broken. It is fantastic for bruises too! Order it quick before it is all sold at http://www.millcreekherbs.com

Though it is a lot of work, I got my lavender cut yesterday at just the right time. It should be a wonderful addition to my herbal pharmacy. I have a few kinds, colors and sizes. One is tiny, Parish blue…adorable. Some are bundled for decoration and the rest will be used for calming teas. Remeber to cut your lavender in the bud stage, before it all blooms.
