Rosemary. It's not what you're expecting. It's everywhere, unassuming. It's easily accessible, readily available and un-fancy. It's humble normalcy betrays its extraordinary gifts. Within this everyday herb lies an abundance of benefits for health and skin. It provides powerful antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory and aids in digestion, pain relief, cognitive enhancement, and hair growth. When used topically it can encourage wound healing and tissue repair; calm inflammation, redness and irritation; balance oil production and kill acne causing bacteria; stimulate microcirculation for healthy blood flow and strengthen capillaries; boost collagen production; improve skin elasticity; and protect skin from uv and environmental damage. It's abundance is a clue and a cue. A reminder that the earth provides what's needed.

Rosehips, the highly nutritious fruit of the wild rose plant, flourish in the fall and winter months. Thriving through harsh conditions, these resilient plants contain abundant amounts of vitamin c and antioxidants, providing rich nourishment for local fauna. In Scandinavian folklore and Nordic tradition, they are viewed as symbols of endurance, vitality and true love and have been used for centuries in many traditional herbal remedies for sustained health and protection, building strength and healing seasonal ailments. Nature provides us with resources we've been taught to ignore. The more disconnected we become from nature, the more I find myself retreating into it. Begging for the knowledge that's slipping from our collective minds. It's always been here, and continues to call to us. We need only to listen.
