Mother Moon Winter Medicine Chest
Mother Moon Winter Medicine Chest
A hands-on herbal workshop for mothers and families
There is something deeply powerful about knowing how to care for your family when winter colds arrive. Not reaching for the wrong thing. Not feeling helpless at 2am. Just calm, confident hands and a remedy you made yourself.
This workshop gives you exactly that.
WHAT THIS IS
A small, intimate gathering where you’ll spend a morning making your own winter remedies from scratch, guided every step of the way. No prior knowledge needed. No complicated theory. Just practical, traditional herbal remedies that belong in every family home.
You’ll leave with five handmade remedies, a beautiful printed workbook and the confidence to keep making them season after season.
WHAT YOU’LL MAKE
• Elderflower, Rosehip & Thyme Winter Tea: a daily family tea, traditionally used to support the body through the colder months, and rich in vitamin C from rosehip
• Thyme, Mullein & Ginger Honey Syrup: the classic grandmother’s syrup for coughs and scratchy throats
• Garlic & Thyme Oxymel: the 2,000-year-old honey and vinegar tonic, taken daily through winter or at the very first sniffle
• Chest Rub Balm: a warming eucalyptus, peppermint and lavender rub for adults and older children, plus a gentle calendula and lavender version for babies
• Eucalyptus Herbal Steam Blend: for stuffy, blocked-up days, with safe room-steam methods for babies and toddlers
Everything is made together, in circle, with beautiful simple ingredients. You take it all home ready to use.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
• What to reach for at the very first sniffle
• An age-by-age guide to using herbs safely with babies, toddlers and breastfeeding mothers
• Which herbs to avoid for little ones, such as peppermint and eucalyptus under two
• Simple grandmothers’ remedies: onion, garlic, steam and warmth
• How long each remedy keeps, and how to store it
• When home remedies are enough, and when it’s time to call your doctor
• How to build your own home apothecary over time, gently and without overwhelm
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You’re a mother who wants to feel more confident caring for your family naturally. You’re curious about herbs but don’t know where to start. You want something real and practical, not overwhelming. You believe in the power of simple things.
WHAT YOU’LL TAKE HOME
