Chamomile with Rebecca Luna + Chamomile Lavender Bath

Описание: Do you love chamomile? I love chamomile! Yay, Matricaria chamomilla!

And as you’ll see, my guest today, Rebecca Luna, loves chamomile, too. We talked about chamomile tea, chamomile oil, chamomile glycerite, chamomile baths…

We full-on fan-girled about chamomile’s gifts for babies, for harried parents, throughout menopause, and into elderhood. We also chatted about what it’s like running an herbal apothecary, something Rebecca’s been doing for almost 20 years.

I think herbal baths are a totally underutilized preparation… and Rebecca has shared a wonderful recipe for a chamomile lavender bath. If taking a little time out to let yourself breathe, relax, and be all-around nurtured sounds good to you, you do not want to miss this recipe! There’s a free, downloadable and printable recipe card available just for you, which you can find access to in the resources section below.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► A great tactic to give a teething baby some relief with chamomile

► The type of fever chamomile can be especially supportive for

► How chamomile can modulate inflammation

► A fun way to explore the gifts of Roman chamomile

► Strategies Rebecca used to grow her business without compromising on the original vision and quality of products

► and so much more…

For those of you who don’t already know her, Rebecca Luna is an Herbalist and the proprietress of Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary & Supply. This retail shop provides everything one needs to use and make botanical medicines. They have a production kitchen where they craft a line of herbal products right on site.

Rebecca has been steeped in herbalism since the early 1990s and is a graduate of the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Medicine. She has worked as a community herbalist, postpartum doula and botanical medicine-making teacher. She opened her apothecary in 2004 with the aim of connecting the community with botanical medicine and providing a thriving work environment for herbalists.

I’m beyond delighted to share our conversation with you today!
