It pays to hang around people who see the world differently than you do.

People who are willing to offer you a perspective you hadn’t even considered.

Because the thing is… we’re ALL limited by what we can see. And sometimes we don’t even realize what we’re NOT seeing.

I promise you, if you’re a practitioner, some of this is gonna irk your ego.

And if you’re a patient, it might make you think a little harder about who you’re trusting to be on your team.

I don’t know who decided lemonade was strictly a summer thing, but I didn’t agree to that.

Especially when you can add ginger, cinnamon + maple syrup to the conversation.

And the best part? You can drink this one hot OR cold.

Now, I know I called this medicine in a cup, and I meant that in the herbalist sense. We’re working with plants that have a long history of traditional use, and we’re making something that tastes really damn good in the process.

Anyway, here’s the recipe.

SPICED MAPLE GINGER LEMONADE 🍋
Makes approximately 32 oz

For the herbal infusion:
• 1 tbsp red raspberry leaf
• 1 tbsp oat straw
• 1 tbsp tulsi
• 2 tsp cut-and-sifted ginger
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 24 oz hot water

To finish:
• ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup
• Tiny pinch mineral salt
• Water to reach 32 oz total

Here’s what you’re going to do:

Combine your herbs, ginger + cinnamon in a heat-safe jar.

Pour 24 oz of just-off-boil water over everything, cover + let it steep for 45–90 minutes.

Strain thoroughly.

Add your lemon juice, 2 tbsp maple syrup + a tiny pinch of mineral salt.

Top with water until you’ve got 32 oz total. Taste it.

Want it sweeter? Add that last tablespoon of maple syrup.

Drink it warm, or refrigerate it + pour it over ice.

And yes, pure maple syrup contains some minerals + plant compounds. It’s also still sugar. Both things can be true without us making it weird.

That’s it.

A few herbs, some lemon, a little maple syrup, and you’ve got something delicious that happens to introduce you to a handful of plants worth getting to know.

Save the recipe + tell me whether you’re trying it hot or cold.

Imagine if we were as curious about women’s physiology as we are about whether men find us attractive.

What a fu***ng concept.

We’ve spent an extraordinary amount of time studying what women should look like. Perhaps it’s time we put that same energy into understanding how our bodies actually work.

And yes, women’s health research exists. But so do enormous gaps in what we know, how we diagnose, and how we treat women.

Our hormones matter. Our symptoms matter. Our physiology matters.

And the consequences of these research gaps aren’t confined to history books. They’re showing up in examination rooms, diagnostic delays, treatment decisions, and the everyday experiences of women trying to get answers about their own bodies.

We’re well past due for a different conversation.

I have quite a few things brewing in my kitchen right now.

And this is one I’m particularly excited about.

If you’ve never heard of an oxymel, I think you’re going to appreciate this introduction.

Because while honey + vinegar might sound like an odd combination, add the right herbs and you end up with something that’s actually REALLY enjoyable to take.

Sweet. Tart. A little spicy from the ginger.

Something you can take by the spoonful, stir into water or add to a drink.

And for this first batch, I wanted to work with plants that have a long history of being reached for during the colder months.

Elderberry, rose hips + ginger.

All familiar plants with useful properties, prepared with a little knowledge + intention.

And THAT is something I want people to experience more of when it comes to herbalism.

Not everything needs to be a capsule, a complicated protocol or another thing you have to force yourself to take.

There are so many ways to incorporate plants into everyday life that are practical, enjoyable + actually make sense for the season you’re in.

I’m calling this one SWEET RELIEF. 🌿

It’s one of the first small-batch botanicals I’ll be offering, alongside the chest rub I’ve been working on.

Everything is still in production, so we’re a little ways out from ordering.

But I wanted to start bringing you into the process now.

Because I don’t just want to show you what I’m making.

I want you to understand why you might want it in your own kitchen.

And if making your own herbal preparations isn’t your thing, that’s perfectly fine too.

That’s where I come in.

More soon.

One of the things I value MOST about studying Eastern medicine is how difficult it becomes to call something “successful” when the HUMAN receiving it is less well because of it.

Because what exactly are we treating?

A bowel movement?

A lab value?

A symptom?

A body part?

Or the person sitting in front of us?

I think we’ve gotten VERY good at isolating the thing we want to change + measuring whether we’ve changed it.

And sometimes we do.

The digestion improves.
The pain decreases.
The labs look better.
The weight comes off.

But if the person becomes anxious around food, afraid of their own body, exhausted by their protocol or spends their entire life managing their health…

I have a hard time calling that health.

This is something Eastern modalities have helped me appreciate even more deeply.

The body isn’t a collection of independent parts.

And the mind isn’t some inconvenient thing happening separately from it.

You’re treating a whole human being whose physical, mental + emotional experience is happening at the SAME time.

That doesn’t mean every treatment should feel good.

It doesn’t mean there aren’t tradeoffs.

And it certainly doesn’t mean we ignore measurable outcomes.

It means the outcome we’re measuring cannot become so important that we stop looking at the person experiencing it.

Because you can successfully change the thing you were targeting…and still have an unsuccessful treatment.

Obviously, I’m not inventing the chest rub here.

But I AM really excited about what I’m putting into mine.

Rosemary, thyme + spearmint aren’t just in there because they smell good together.

Rosemary is warming + stimulating.

Traditionally, she’s been used when things feel cold, sluggish + stagnant. Topically, that warming quality is part of what makes her such an interesting addition here.

Thyme has a LONG history of use around the respiratory system.

She’s pungent, penetrating + intensely aromatic.

Crush thyme between your fingers + you immediately understand some of the appeal.

This is a plant people have reached for around coughs, mucus + seasonal respiratory s**t for a very long time.

Spearmint brings the cooling counterpoint.

Fresh + bright without the intensity of peppermint—which is exactly what I wanted here.

All three are currently macerating in jojoba oil, where they’ll stay for the next several weeks before I strain the oil + move on to the next stage.

Good medicine takes TIME.

So while I would LOVE to tell you my small batch botanicals will be available next week…

they won’t.

Everything is currently macerating, infusing, steeping + doing what it needs to do.

Keep your eyes peeled. I should have the first SMALL batches available in about 4–6 weeks. 🌿

And I mean SMALL.

When they’re gone, they’re gone.

I was playing around with raspberry leaf + oat straw today and ended up with this.

FALL ORCHARD LEMONADE 🍎🍋

Tart, a little sweet + honestly WAY better than I expected.

For 32 oz:

1 tbsp red raspberry leaf
1 tbsp oat straw
24 oz just-off-boil water

Cover + steep 20–30 minutes. Strain.

Then add:

¼ cup 100% apple juice
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp maple syrup
⅛ tsp mineral salt

Top with cold water to 32 oz + get her COLD.

The apple + maple give it the fall flavor without making it overly sweet, and the lemon keeps it bright.

Apparently Arnold Palmer needed a fall cousin. 🍎

As always, check that the herbs are appropriate for you.
