Such a special flower that brings beauty to every cup or dish it’s cooked with, and also offers so much medicinally.

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a vibrant blue flower with its roots in traditional herbal medicine practices across Southeast Asia.

Known as Aparajita in Ayurveda, meaning “the unconquerable,” it has traditionally been valued for its relationship with memory, mental clarity, and cognitive wellness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is known as die dou hua for similar purposes.

Used in cooking, or to make a cup of herbal infusion. Blue/purple on its own, and pink if lemon is added to it. Which also makes for a fun natural science experiment for kids!

There’s a reason it’s a staple for lots of apothecaries.

We carry organic butterfly pea in shop 🙌

Local Neem is in stock!

🌿

Neem (Azadirachta indica) belongs to the Meliaceae family, also known as the mahogany family. Originally native to Southeast Asia, neem is now found throughout many tropical and subtropical regions, including South Florida.

Neem has been valued in Ayurvedic and other traditional practices for centuries. Different parts of the tree, including its leaves, bark, flowers, seeds, fruit, and oil, are used, & the leaves are used for their bitter & cleansing properties.

The leaves have been prepared as infusions, incorporated into skin washes / pastes, used in traditional hair care, and valued for at home-natural gardening purposes (like a natural pesticide).

Neem is like a village pharmacist, & it holds a meaningful place in the communities that have worked with this plant for generations.

Like we mentioned in the last slide, Neem is intensely bitter and traditionally used for specific cleansing purposes, typically for limited periods rather than long-term use. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or us at the apothecary for safe preparation and dosing!

Would love to hear how you use neem below 👇

The parasite cleanse craze - just because it’s trending doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Duck flower has been circulating online as a parasite cleanse, with people sharing intense cleansing experiences and encouraging others to try it.

Andddd… responsible herbalism requires more than following trends without guidance.

Not every herb is appropriate for every person. Plant identification, preparation, dose, contraindications, medication interactions, and the evidence behind a remedy all matter. And some plants carry risks that cannot simply be resolved by adjusting the dose.

Duck flower is a particularly important example. Plants in the Aristolochia genus may contain aristolochic acids, which are associated with serious kidney damage and cancer. This is why I would not recommend ingesting it as a parasite cleanse.

If you suspect a parasitic infection, the first step is understanding what you are treating. Different parasites require different approaches, and appropriate testing and medical treatment may be necessary.

There are many herbs worth learning about for digestive and intestinal health, but we should not assume that an herb is an effective antiparasitic simply because it is traditional, natural, or popular online.

Let’s be extremely mindful about putting one’s health at risk trying to recreate a protocol that hasn’t been given to you directly.

Seek guidance from a qualified herbalist who understands botanical safety, contraindications, and when to refer you to a medical professional. Work with a healthcare provider when a parasitic infection is suspected or confirmed.

You wouldn’t perform surgery on yourself because you watched a video about it. Your health deserves that same level of care and discernment.

Herbalism is not about fear. It’s about knowledge, respect for plants, and knowing how to use them responsibly.

We’re here to help as we can. Come visit!🙌

How often should you detox?

Find your local herbalist to properly support/direct you through a detox experience to get clear (and safe!!!) about what you’re looking to support your body through and how to do it properly.

We have a three system protocol of Gentle Detox, Roots Detox, and Good Gut over 28 days. And through herbal consultations with Ricky, more personalized detoxes can also be directed.

Next video we’ll share a bit about a parasite cleanse to be cautious of. 🙌

Calendula is one of those plants we always want to have on hand in the apothecary.

🌼Native to the Mediterranean region and now cultivated widely around the world, calendula has been cherished in herbal traditions for generations, particularly for its affinity for the skin.

We often reach for calendula in preparations for dry, irritated, sensitive, or compromised skin. Its flowers are traditionally infused into oils, salves, creams, balms, and washes to soothe, soften, and support the skin.

Calendula also has a long history of internal use, particularly as a gentle digestive and lymphatic herb. We use it as part of our Good Gut blend, where it complements the other herbs in the formula, and we also offer calendula on its own for you to incorporate into your personal apothecary.

These photos are from a year ago, where Ricky was processing an abundant batch of local grown Calendula.

Calendula is one of those plants we love for being used in numerous ways, being gentle but potent, and it’s place in everyday herbal care.

At the apothecary, we appreciate learning when plants work well as allies to support people.

Be Happy tincture made fresh in our lab brings together tulsi, St. John’s wort, lemon balm, skullcap, and rose: a blend to nourish the nervous system, support resilience, ease tension, and bring a little more emotional balance.

•Tulsi offers adaptogenic support
•St. John’s wort has a long history of use for emotional well-being,
•Lemon balm and skullcap help soothe an overstimulated nervous system & mind
•Rose brings a gentle, heart-centered quality to the mix.

This blend may be especially supportive during times of stress, emotional depletion, or nervous tension. When the herbs are the right match for you, they can be a beautiful form of medicine and daily support.

⚠️And a very important note on St. John’s wort: it can interact with many medications like antidepressants, hormonal birth control, blood thinners, and seizure medications. If you take these kinds of medications, please speak with your doctor or pharmacist before using this blend.

We hope this blend is a good support to you!

Herbal Cautions pt 2 — still on essential oils!

If you would be mindful of putting multiple lemons and their rind into a glass of water to drink, essential oils carry the same concern given their potency. Safest to be monitored under a trained herbalist/professional, or to utilize oils for aromatherapy as per our suggestion.

Part 3 we’ll share more thoughts on detoxing in general! Tune in for that next week 🔜🌱🌱🌱

Bittersweet are the bitters that don’t always taste amazing, but are incredibly important for our health!

Your liver needs them, your digestive system needs them, and most of our foods and diets nowadays doesn’t prioritize them.

We have all single herbs listed in our apothecary: Dandelion leaf, Artichoke leaf, and wormwood 🐛, and have our “Gentle Detox” Blend made in house that combines some of these herbs for a full pathway cleanse around the detox channels of the body.

We also have “Digestive Bitters” tincture which is a great pop in your bag kind of support for travels, heavier dinners, or for a general daily dose of healthy bitters.
