Hello nostr 🤗 I've been off this account for while, popping back in to remind you that we have #desert #herbs & #botanical products in stock on #plebeianmarket and #shopstr. There is still time to order a last minute gift if you're in the US!
Since I started my #foraging journey here in the Sonoran Desert, my family and friends have loved on:
🌱 Creosote bundles, to hang in the shower and bring the scent, mood lifting & lung clearing properties of desert rain to your home
☀️ Desert Sun Face Serum & Creosote Hydrosol, for natural skin care especially to soothe acne-prone and sun-damaged skin
🌲 Juniper Hydrosol, an excellent face & linen spray to calm your mind and spiritually cleanse
I'll have more salves and other goodies stocked in the next day or two 🫶

It's been a while since I made a creosote bundle. Got an order in yesterday and checked in on a few of these beautiful plants
The creosote bushes are lush and aromatic after all the summer rain we had. Perfect for bundling.
Some customers love hanging these in the shower, so the steam will smell like desert rain 🌧️
I like to let a bundle dry and use it to smudge. Burning it also helps to repel mosquitos 🔥
Send us a message or order one on #plebeianmarket if you'd like to grab one 🫶

We've sold out of Ocotillo flowers for the season, so they'll next be available in the spring 🌸
In the meantime, we'll keep the bark stocked for those who wish to become acquainted with this unique desert plant
Ocotillo bark is best utilized in the form of a tincture or glycerite for internal use and can be added to salves for external use
🍃 reduces inflammation: soothes arthritic joints, bruising and muscle pain
🧡 creates movement in the lymphatic system, especially in the pelvis
🔥 supports the liver, stimulates bile production & improves digestion
Let us know if you want to learn more about this magical plant or try it out!

Cold mornings are reminding me that winter is coming fast in this little patch of desert. We won't see much snow, but I am still often surprised by how much the temperatures drop when the sun goes down
I love the feeling of our juniper hydrosol to cleanse my face in the morning, a plant known for it's warming and purifying qualities. The only ingredients used to make this hydrosol spray are juniper branches foraged from Southern New Mexico and distilled water
We're very close to introducing a new face oil infused with juniper berries that will support your skin through a cold, dry winter (and will pair perfectly with the juniper hydrosol). Stay tuned 🍃💕

bulk herbs are now listed on plebeian market 🍃
The only products I use on my face are our hydrosols and oils 🌱
Commercial lotions and skin care products contain emulsifiers, thickeners, sunscreens and preservatives that may cause more damage than protection
Why combine hydrosols and oils, like our Creosote Hydrosol and Desert Sun Face Serum? ☀️
The hydrosol moisturizes with distilled water and the essential oils of the plant. Creosote is particularly good at killing bacteria, cleansing, and cooling our skin
Followed by a mixture of protective oils to lock in hydration, protect from the sun, and smooth wrinkles & scars
Our customers report less acne, brighter, and more moisturized skin 💫

No, I think that is a tar extracted from coal. This is the common name of a bush local to Arizona, also known as chaparral, greasewood, or Larrea tridentata
We've been resting a lot during a rainy weekend in the #desert
To those of you also living #offgrid and #homesteading - what are your favorite rainy day tasks?
For now, I'm just enjoying the view of the foggy mountains 🩵
Making a spray that smells like desert rain 🩵
I love the beauty of distilling fresh herbs in our copper alembic. The copper is a traditional material for making hydrosols and also improves the scent by segregating sulfate compounds
Here is creosote being prepared for the distillation process to make a face spray that is uplifting, cleansing, clears up acne, and has that lovely smell of rain in the desert
Creosote hydrosol will remain stocked in our shop on #plebeianmarket. We also have juniper and mugwort available, with more coming very soon! 🍃

Love it. Our outdoor patio space has ocotillo walls for the shade and to keep our dogs in
That's part of why I forage.. Even my friends in the desert don't want to mess with their spines 😄
I think they are picky with growing conditions. We are lucky to live in a spot where they thrive
ocotillo blossoms 🌸
We're down to our last 2 bags of dried ocotillo flowers, foraged from our pristine desert property. These beautiful plants have a vibrant and short bloom in the spring, so this is all that we'll have in stock until next summer!
Zap this post 15k sats to claim one (includes the cost of a 1/2 oz bag plus shipping within the United States). The first two zaps will receive our last available stock 🩷

Walking our #offgrid #desert property this summer has brought so many beautiful surprises and medicinal #plants. My first encounter with a native hibiscus. What a blessing 🌸
#homestead #plantmedicine #herbalism 
Our creosote hydrosol is made by distilling water with fresh creosote leaves - that's it. This process extracts the essential oils and other aromatic compounds into a spray you can use on your face, body, and linens.
Customers have said it makes an amazing face toner, clearing up their acne and soothing old scars.
I love the cleansing energy of creosote for washing away negativity as well. And it smells amazing, like desert rain.

Gm nostr!
Our creosote infused fave & body oil is perfect if you're looking for the healing benefits of creosote for your skin - without any extras added.
Creosote is solar infused into golden jojoba oil for one month to extract the antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds.
Use it on your face to prevent acne, reverse sun damage, and lock in moisture.
It can also be applied to get rid of rashes, support wound healing, or just as a massage oil with the lovely scent of desert rain.
These products are birthed on our 40 acres of land in Southern Arizona. We've been here just over a year and this summer was much wetter than last. Recently, the desert has bloomed with at least a dozen plants that are new for me to identify.
I am always pulled in by the nightshades, so here is a little spotlight (one of these is making it's way into a massage oil 😉)
My first time meeting a wild tomatillo!
And now a datura plant is getting ready to bloom at our doorstep 💚
