Our kids herb camp is off to a good start! Already we’ve made sunscreen, salve, skillet bread, salads from the garden, chocolate nut milks, natural dyes, and more, and still squeezed in plenty of time for games! Such a sweet group of kiddos we’ve got, and we couldn’t do it without the help of our interns! 🐔🐔🐤🐤🐤 #summercamp #herbcamp #kidscamp #daycamp #pdxkids #sandyoregon #littleherbalist #naturecamp #herbcraft
While we specialize in herbal formulations, we also offer a full line of mushroom products, which includes all the health-promoting superstars of the fungi fam. The #betaglucans in mushrooms support healthy blood sugar and healthy blood cholesterol levels, and offer great immune support by stimulating white blood cell activity. These mushrooms in particular are some of the best health tonics around! And as always, we take pride in our sourcing, making sure it’s the highest quality for our customers. 🍄 #mushrooms #mushroomtonic #mushroommedicine #immunesupport #healthybloodsugar #healthycholesterol #holistichealth #naturecure #naturopathicmedicine
Hey hey! We’re gearing up for our third annual kids camp here at Eclectic, August 13-17! And we still have a few spots left! Check out our website www.eclecticherb.com/herbcamp to find out more about it, or check out our most recent blog article. This week-long camp that teaches kids remedy-making and plant identification has been hugely successful, and is a great way for kids to get off their screens and into nature. We hope to see you here! • • #kidscamp #summercamp #backtonature #herbalremedies #pdxkids #pdxcamps #portlandsummercamp #sandyoregon
Our interns learned a thing or two about using plants as natural dyes from the very talented Adriana Moreno of @moonshadowgoods 🌿🎨 Natural dyeing is a fascinating way to look at plants in a new way - it’s amazing to see the unassuming colors that come from things! We can extract color from such a vast array of plants, it’s actually a great way to repurpose kitchen scraps! • • #naturaldye #plantdye #herbalapprenticeship #herbaleducation #herbschool #alternativeeducation #herbfarm #herblife #plantpeople
Ever used the flowers from Verbascum (mullein)? Infused in oil, they make a wonderful remedy for the ear, especially when combined with garlic and calendula. 🌼 Pick the mullein flowers in the morning and leave them on a screen to wilt for 8-12 hours. Then cover them with olive oil and leave to infuse for a couple weeks. You could also add garlic and calendula (dried) to this infusion, or combine them later. Strain, and decant the oil, leaving any water behind. Use a couple drops in the ear, in instances when ear drops are called for, and plug it with a cotton ball. • • #earhealth #mullein #verbascum #naturalremedies #diyremedies #herbalism #plantremedies #plantallies
Our interns had a great class last night with Lara Pacheco @laritapacheco who is leading a 4-part series on Decolonizing Herbalism. We had a good discussion around accessing our own ancestral lineages, and celebrating others without appropriating, and then tied the discussion to Yarrow, “master of blood”, after which we made a healing elixir using yarrow, angelica, and mugwort. 🌱 Be in touch if this internship sounds up your alley - we’d love to hear from you! • #decolonizeherbalism #decolonize #ancestralmedicine #ancestralhealing #yarrow #achilleamillefolium #herbaleducation #learningherbs #herbschool #herbfarm #alternativeeducation #workingforabetterfuture
Ever heard of a cold still? It was invented by John Uri Lloyd in the early 20th century. Lloyd was a pharmacist and leader of the Eclectic medical movement, which is the inspiration for our company. This apparatus was made to concentrate tinctures without using very much heat (which can degrade heat-sensitive botanical compounds). We have 2 cold stills here at Eclectic, modeled after Lloyd’s original. It makes our Specific Echinacea, a very potent Echinacea product, in addition to other great products. And besides, isn’t it a beautiful piece of equipment? • • #coldstill #johnurilloyd #herbalism #herbalproducts #concentrates #coolmachine #supplementcompany #healthfulliving
