May Newsletter - Aurora's Apothecary

Happy Beltane, Everyone! 

Welcome to May. Today greets us as with a deliberate celebration of the abundance of Spring, and the warm anticipation of Summer. The history of Beltane includes protective rituals to ensure the safety of livestock, as well as paying tribute to Flora, often referred to as The May Queen. This is a time for reflection and gratitude for the forests, trees, and fertility of Mother Earth! Be sure to light a fire today, as lighting the Beltane fires on the first of May symbolizes the growing power of the sun, and cleansing from darkness. We look forward to a great month ahead, and sharing it with all of you!

Hops aren't just for craft brews! This versatile plant boasts a history of medicinal uses alongside its role in brewing delicious beer.

A Natural Sleep Aid?
Hops contain compounds that may promote relaxation and better sleep. Some studies suggest it might be helpful for those experiencing occasional sleeplessness.

Calming the Mind & Body?
Early research suggests hops might also ease anxiety and promote feelings of calmness.

More to Explore!
Hops can also be used to soothe hot flashes, aid cardiovascular disease, relieve restlessness, ADHD, nervousness, and irritability.

We carry hops whole and dried on our herb wall, as well as in our Sweet Dreams Tea!
The 2024 Herb of The Year - Yarrow
Introducing Yarrow:
Don't underestimate the humble yarrow! This resilient wildflower with feathery leaves and white blooms boasts a history as impressive as its looks. Traditionally, it's been a battlefield buddy, used to staunch wounds with its astringent properties. But yarrow's not just for warriors. It's also been a friend to troubled tummies, calming cramps and easing indigestion. Whispers of anti-inflammatory potential add another layer of intrigue. While science is still catching up, yarrow's past hints at a powerful herbal ally.
