October: a seasonal ritual, an herb to know +
what’s happening around Bloom Herbals
AN OCTOBER RITUAL |
BE STILL & NOTICE
October has its own kind of light.
The mornings stay dim a little longer. Evening comes earlier and is more vibrant.
This month’s ritual: instead of immediately turning on every light, make something warm to drink and sit for a few minutes in that early morning or evening light.
Sip the tea or coffee, cider—whatever sounds good.
No phone. No task attached to it. Just notice the change.
AN HERB FOR OCTOBER | ELDERBERRY
Every fall, I forage elderberries and make a huge batch of elderberry syrup for my family. I just made this year’s batch last week.
Elderberry has a long tradition of use during cold and flu season and is especially loved for supporting the immune system. Those deep purple berries are one of my favorite signs that fall has arrived.
You’ll find elderberry in two blends this season:
Be Well — my cool-weather herbal blend with elderberry, echinacea, hibiscus, rosehip, ginger and lemon.
October Blush — a beautiful limited-edition High Autumn tea, where elderberry joins apple, rose, red clover, rosehip, cinnamon and clove.
