Sometimes we all need a little help letting go. A blend for those who hold stress and tension in their head, neck, and shoulders, Sweet Release helps us calm circular thinking and move through life with more ease and lightness. With potent allies of blue vervain to help tone the nervous system and release tension in the upper body, passionflower and skullcap to help interrupt repetitive or detrimental though patterns - allowing us to step out of our stress clouds, and a finishing note of rose to help soften the blend, delight the palate, and ground into our heart-space.
2fl oz
Organic cane alcohol, spring water, organic vegetable glycerin, blue vervain, skullcap, passionflower, rose
Take 20-30 drops up to three times a day straight from the dropper or in a small amount of water. Use on stressful days and preferably on a daily basis to help tone the nervous system over time.
As an adult, herbalist and founder of Woodspell Apothecary, Val Alcorn started to see the enchantment in the elusive ghost pipe and lady orchid when she would stumble across them in the wild. She would feel the chilling magic at nightfall when an owl would hoots in darkness. The trees felt as if they were reaching out to her as bejeweled flowers bloomed at their feet. She began to see how the forest could provide a sustainable restorative agriculture approach by growing food in the forest such as nuts, berries, mushrooms, and perennial vegetables. This in turn would help the fight against climate change through carbon sequestering that the forest does naturally. She saw how this could be an opportunity to cultivate common and at-risk woodland medicinal plants to heal the earth and the body.
Thus, Woodspell was born. Out of a love for this land and a desire to delve deeper into the gifts of the forest, Val began crafting herbal medicines that spoke to her as a way to share this magic with the world. The 12 acres her husband, dog, and two cats dwell on in northern Michigan sustain beautiful plant communities from pine and hardwood forest that is home to trillium, wintergreen, and violets to a wetland marsh that hosts gentians, boneset, and milkweeds. All the herbs + ingredients used in her blends are either grown biodynamically to the cycles of the moon within Woodspell or acquired from sustainable, organic sources.
Val's goal is to show the wondrous relationship in the forest between magic and productivity; healing and progression, and how we can tap into that to live a more sane and beautiful life.
