What we're all about @oleaapothecary #introductions #howdoyoudo

Plants really are medicine. Lavender is such a gentle, but potent nervine, fantastic for soothing children and the inner children in all of us. Wouldn’t be surprised if all our nervous systems could do with a good amount of these purple blooms. #relax #nerves #nervoussystem #nervine #lavender

I’ll be the one drinking herbal teas absolutely everywhere. #teaflask #herbalremedies #nervoussystem #support

Happy Lunar New Year 🧧 and 🌑 in Aquarius. New beginnings. Skullcap is a protective force in all of this change. Coming out of abuse; there is often complex trauma, triggers and nearly impossible to picture anything different. But life shows us, things are always being made new. #ptsd #lunarnewyear

Tuesdays hold Mars energy. Think fire, heat, creativity, power, passion, the color red. Hawthorn works in tandem emotionally to give us courage as we move from a heart-centered place. What’s inspiring your heart? #heart #Mars #passion #heat #love #power #creativity #herbs #hawthorn

Our Midwinter Oxymel. Used to boost the immune system, soothe dry throats and settle upset tummies. Colds and germs mean we still need protection and support as the seasons change.
Herbs included: Rose, Rosemary, Linden. #herbalremedies #oxymel #sunday #rose #rosemary #linden #aquariusseason

Motherwort • lion heart, a hug in liquid form, healing for those who have lost their mother or have had to be their own. Healing is never linear. Be, oh so gentle with yourself. #motherwort #infusion #herbalism #heartache #mothers #healing

Lemon Balm • to calm and center #herbalism #moon #water #lemonbalm

The sun is bumping up next to Pluto in Aquarius, so the air is full of what’s next? Aquarius is for the humanitarian, the community, innovation. Find your people, dig deep, make heart and home with each other. 📷 Diffusing lavender for the nervous system. #aquarius #herbs #astrology

Slow and steady. They do not bequeath freedom. It is found from within. ✨ #herbalhealing #plutoinaquarius #plants #herbalism #newera #oleaapothecary

Let the plants soothe, today and always #herbalism #spiritualherbalism #witchsky

It’s a Virgo 🌖. Virgo rules the digestive and nervous system. Organizing, cleaning, declutterring might feel good. Order and clarity can help the mind. These two herbs can help connect the mind, body and spirit. Ease the anxiety of today; be gentle with yourself ✨ #virgomoon #herbalism #herbs

Here’s something I prepared earlier. A little more support #nervoussystem #fusions #plantremedies

Passionflower • Passiflora incarnata has been my saving. Yesterday, I was badly triggered and couldn’t get my mind to calm down. Surviving is like that some times. This plant calms, relaxed and supports racing hearts and minds. Generous Maypop #herbalism #passionflower

Herbs for a Cancer ♋️ full moon: lemon balm (nervine), passionflower (relaxant), rose (for much needed joy with Mars retrograding in Cancer and making lots of things that much harder) and chamomile (calming). #plantsupport #plantallies #spiritualherbalism

Today’s full moon in Cancer takes us back the littler selves. Who were you back then, that is trying to be remembered today? Cancer is ruled by the moon, so think feminine energy, family, children, the Mother, our ancestors, our roots. What is at our core? What needs to go?

So much has happened and continues to. Celestially and in the physical. Whether we are living it in real time or watching online. Our minds and digestion is likely paying the price. Nervine tea and a blue candle for calm, is my wish for all. ✨ #nervines #plantallies #bodymindsupport

Quick introduction :) I’m Erina and I own the small, but mighty: Olea Apothecary based in the Midwest. It is my way of fighting back in a world that wants me silent. Through plant magic/spiritual herbalism, I support abuse survivors and their nervous systems. #herbalism #survivor
