Nourish

There is a reason this blend was the very first one I created.
 
I wanted to make a blend that would become part of a daily ritual —a warm cup to reach for during long feeds, contact naps and the quiet moments in between, to nourish myself with love and intention.
 
Connection with nature kept me grounded throughout pregnancy and in preparation for birth, and I knew that it would support me in the weeks to follow as well.
 
So when creating this blend, I reached for those herbs that grew abundantly in my garden in the previous season, those herbs we harvested and dried for use until the next growing season, as a reminder of the cycles of nature, of the loving care put into nurturing my garden and of the importance of giving and receiving. 
 
At the heart of Nourish is Nettle, one of my favourite herbs. Despite often being thought of as a humble weed, nettle has been treasured by herbalists for generations as a deeply nourishing plant, naturally rich in minerals including iron, calcium and magnesium.
 
Alongside nettle is Oat straw, another beautifully restorative herb that has long been enjoyed as a gentle tonic during times of physical and emotional depletion.
 
Together with Red raspberry leaf, Chamomile, Calendula, Peppermint and Rose, they create a soft, comforting blend inspired by traditional postpartum herbalism.
 
For me, Nourish is more than a herbal tea.
It's a gentle reminder that the mother deserves tending to, too.
