Back-to-school season brings a return to fuller days, shared spaces, and familiar routines. Our herbal favorites for kids and families are designed to support everyday nourishment, immune resilience, and steadiness through the seasonal shift.
Meet Dancing Willow Herbs owner and clinical herbalist Elliott Brinkley, and learn how she went from interning in the medicine making lab to taking ownership of the apothecary in 2021- tending our 35 year old apothecary. Read about her path into herbalism, the evolution of Dancing Willow Herbs, and what it has meant to grow alongside this beloved community apothecary.
Herbalism becomes easier to sustain when the plants are woven into the meals, rhythms, and rituals already shaping our days. In this conversation with Sarah Kate Benjamin of The Kosmic Kitchen, we explore kitchen herbalism, Ayurveda, seasonal living, motherhood, and postpartum nourishment—along with simple ways to build a home apothecary using herbs, infused foods, body oils, bath salts, and Dancing Willow Herbs preparations.
Herbal constituents can sound abstract until we begin to taste, feel, and see them in the plants themselves. This post explores how alkamides, carotenoids, and immunomodulating polysaccharides shape the actions of herbs like echinacea, calendula, nettle, and dandelion, and why those constituents matter when we choose how to prepare herbal medicine.

PEACEFUL HEART HERBAL FORMULA: I just discovered Peaceful Heart while going through a very stressful time in my life. The soothing, calming effect is almost instant. It is now my go-to anytime I feel anxious or have a stressful day. Thank you for this all natural anxiety reliever!
Elderberry Syrup Elderberry Syrup and LNG Ease is the best chest and cold Lung rattling cure that i have ever tried. My lungs were rattling and I was coughing and within one hour after taking these two products I felt so much better. I slept straight through the night that night without coughing.
Dancing Willows Teething gum rub saved our trip to New Zealand! 24 hours of travel with a sick kid can be really hard. This trip was not because it soothed our son so much. He loves the taste and it quickly and dramatically calms him down. Thanks a million for your help Dancing Willow!
