Midwinter can feel like such a draggy time characterized by cold days, lots of time inside, and often low mood and lack of inspiration - especially for people of the earth who love being outside with the plants! 

What are some ways you can bring the herbs into your winter routine? 

What if it can be simple?

In this episode, I share how to incorporate herbs into teas, broths and tinctures -- both from a very simple intuitive, creative lens and also a more intentional, structured lens. 

It's easy to forget about how many herbs you may have access to already, some of which may even be in your spice cabinet already. 

If you're curious about some possible ways to practice herbalism in the winter and start simple formulation for yourself and your family, this episode is perfect for you.

• the keys to effective formulation
