What’s Up With Elderberry?
You probably know that clinical research has shown elderberries to be effective against several viruses, including flu strains, can help prevent infection, and shorten recovery time. But do you know that Elderberry is also reputed to have other health-improving benefits. There is evidence to indicate that the consumption of berries is linked to enhancing human health, and preventing or delaying the onset of chronic medical conditions.

According to PubMed, Elderberry is a rich source of anthocyanins. These polyphenols are the principals that contribute to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities and other health benefits of elderberry fruit extract. These health effects include attenuation of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory disorders, as well as anti-diabetic, anticancer, antiviral, and immuno-stimulatory effects.

Due to elderberry extract's popularity, commercial preparations of the extract have become prone to adulteration and poor quality of ingredients and handling. When you purchase the dried organic berries and other herbs at Moondrop Herbals, you know you're getting quality organic ingredients, and when you prepare the extract yourself, you know exactly what your herbs are being infused into.

Moondrop Herbals Elderberry Elixir kits come with instructions for making an elixir (alcohol and honey), oxymel (apple cider vinegar and honey), or a preservative-free Herbal syrup.

If you're making the elixir or oxymel, your preparation needs to infuse for 6-8 weeks before pressing. Moondrop Herbals even offers a complimentary instore pressing on Saturday October 17th!

Hex The Patriarchy Tea Party II
September 13 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
$65.00
RSVP HERE: https://moondropherbals.com/event/hexing-the-patriarchy-tea-party-ii-09-13-26/

Join us for an evening of tasseomancy, treats, shopping + mischievous and magical crafting, as we sip, laugh, and collectively channel our frustrations into something positive and powerful. Think cozy vibes with a subversive twist, and just enough playful “hexing” to make it memorable. All of this is taking place during the New Moon in Libra. Let’s help move the scales of justice in the right direction!
We’ll begin with a crunchy little ‘breakroom therapy session’, providing a safe environment for you to decompress by physically releasing emotions, (a little) rage, and anxiety. This will clear out what holds us in a stagnant pattern of inertia, and allows for receiving the positive energy that brings future possibilities. There will also be time for discounted retail therapy both before, during, and after the event.
Suzie will lead a Journal making activity, giving you the space to safely express your feelings, intentions, and reflections on the future you would like to manifest, for yourself and/or this beautiful blue planet.
Feel free to bring stickers, magazine snippets, or anything you would like to include in your creation, this might include:
• Small objects such as charms, sigils, notes, stickers and cutouts.
• A list of meaningful-to-you words and phrases, along with your intentions to “hex”, (purely symbolic, wink-wink), and your vision to make the Earth a better, healthier place for all.
• No prior hexing experience required—just a sense of humor and a willingness to unwind in good company.
Last, but oh-so-not-least, we will explore Tasseomancy, which is the fascinating art of tea leaf reading. Gayle will read the energy in the cup and interpret the symbols for your curiosity, to gather insights, and delightful aha moments. You will have a private one-on-one reading with Gayle. Tasseomancy is similar to the reading of cards, yet with a bit more creativity and novelty than traditional card reading. About reading leaves in a cup of spent tea, Gayle states: ‘You are the director of energy that flows into the cup of tea. It is the combination of intention, curiosity, and movement that settles the leaves into patterns and shapes that are left in the cup after the liquid is gone’.
Space is limited so sign up early using the contact form below to ensure room for you and your besties. Once your RSVP is received, I will send an email containing the payment link. Your reservation will be confirmed upon receipt of payment.
Discounted shopping will be available before and after the event

The technical name for being nose-blind is olfactory adaptation (or olfactory fatigue).

Just like a smoker cannot smell the cigarette smoke on their person, a fragrance user cannot smell their own perfume/fragranced products after prolonged use. This often leads to over-spraying, or over-layering, where the user applies more fragrance, overwhelming everyone else in the room with a cloud of concentrated VOCs.

Smokers: Brain blocks out tar and ni****ne odors.

Fragrance Users: Brain blocks out synthetic or natural VOCs.
