My French press is the most versatile and valuable tool in my home apothecary.  While traditionally used for coffee or tea, the design of the French press makes it ideal for herbal preparations such as infusions and decoctions.

Flower essences are liquids infused with the vibrational energy of flowers, used as a form of alternative medicine to address emotional and mental wellness.

There’s nothing more I want for my father than good health in his elder years.  When he came to visit earlier this month, I prepared a tonic just for him.  It contained a blend of beets, ginger, nettles, and molasses.

As I held the bottle in my hands, my mind started running through all the possible herbs I could gently infuse in the fruity beverage.  I settled on rose and rosemary.
