Elderberry Syrup Preparation I love making herb and food medicinal preparations! It amazes me that herbs, spices and wholefoods can actually tone and strengthen your body to heal itself in many situations. As an herbalist, it is so much fun to share with others  the amazing benefits of incorporating herbs, spices  and whole foods into one's daily health plan. We are not quite through the winter season here in Missouri. Even though the days are getting longer, they can still be dreary and cold!  Getting out and about in the winter  weather is quite challenging at times.  But, there is beauty during the winter as well.  It is a needful time for nature, and it is a needful time for people.

Herbs and Health in the Kitchen

The 'hearth' of the home is in the kitchen! Spending time in the kitchen preparing meals with the family is a wonderful way to build relationships as well as make delicious healthy foods! Hubby is the main chef in our kitchen. I like to make healthy food variations to add to his wonderful meals! I'm always making cultured foods such as: Kombucha, Kefir, Cultured Veges along with many recipes made with these cultured basics. I also love making Sour Dough Bread along with various recipes using this delicious bread. I think by far my favorite things to prepare are Herbal Teas and Herbal Medicinals! Each week I have opened up my kitchen to demonstrate and share recipes that help add extra nutrition to our everyday meals. It is also a fun way to spend time with friends and family! I also share hand-outs and of course Tasters! Follow Heritage Home~Place on FB for more information about these weekly  Herbs and Health In the...

Winters can be harsh here in Missouri, but they are also beautiful. I like to go with the flow of the seasons with my health and wellness path. Winter is a great time of nourishing rest for our bodies. Winter is the season for eating slow foods and drinking nourishing hot drinks. I am a certified herbalist. But, I do not re-invent the wheel when it comes to herbal education. I love to share other herbalist information. Here are a few links that are excellent reads for the season of winter health and wellness: Wintergreen Botanicals  shares about choosing the right immune support for your needs. Other great links on this site include: Building Resistance and Resilience   Fire Cider Recipes Lung Support Benefits of Mushrooms Immune Teas Elder and Immune Health Cocoa Tea Recipe Winter Newsletter Greenhouse Another awesome source is Herbs wit...
