there is a whole science and theory about how they craft different flavours.
The collection of infused honey at Wildflowers farm is vast, with flavours like hibiscus, elderflower, garlic, lemon balm, sage, lavender camomile, and many more. It’s like a chefs dream!
Jane: When I work with clients in my herbal medicine practice, and sometimes when I try and give kids herbal remedies they don’t want to take it. So when we infuse them in honey, they are a getting the medicinal benefits all wrapped in some sweet fresh honey.
It’s just like they say, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!
Jane: I found herbal medicine when I was 18 because I needed something to help alleviate some of digestive issues, skin issues, and migraines that I was having. I tried many different types of medicine and didn’t get any results, but then someone suggested I go see this healer/herbalist in England.
I walked into his office and it was just floor to ceiling with herbal remedies, it was like walking into a local witch’s den. It was so cool and yet kind of intimidating because we are so used to things being packaged ready and stamped. That blew me away and as soon as I got results I was all in, and here I am 20 years later still dedicating a lot of my time learning and educating others about plant medicine.
That’s kind of our mantra, to bring awareness to the vast healing that mother nature provides, because herbalism is the medicine of the people. Plant wisdom has been passed down for centuries, every village had a herbalist. My mentors wish is to keep that tradition alive, by educating our community about our local plant pharmacy - through identification and understanding of energetics. This has been part of my mission, to raise awareness and to empower those to know their local plants.. As a mother of three it has been really empowering, to have my own apothecary whether it is for bug bites, stings, fevers or coughs.
