  • Hi 👋 How’s it going! Over the break I’ve been working on a recipe for the @floridaherbalconference next month Where I’ll be showcasing a remedy to receive feedback from other herbalist. And there are incredible herbalist that come from all over to be there - so it’s a big opportunity to have that interaction!! . I want to make a very special herbal infused topical oil - so potent with herbs, that you can feel ease and flow all over - body and mind! . And to make this infusion, I’m using a sous-vide. If you want to make herbal oils - I’ve shared the step-by-step on the blog & how to make them super potent (and quicker) with a sous vide. And as soon as I have this recipe down, I’ll share that too!! The link is in my profile ✨ . . . . . #sousvide #herbalmedicine #herbalist #floridanature #herbalremedy #bodyoils #oilinfusion #herbaloil #herbalskincare #selfcare #herbalmedicine #herbalmedicinemaking #medicinalherbs #healingherbs #floridaherbalist #wellnesstribeme
  • Dehydrating is my favorite way to preserve food, but also to process herbs to make tea blends, oil infusions, bath salts and herbal facial masks. . When you dehydrate at home the natural flavor and aroma is far more potent than any supermarket dried herbs you’ve tried! . Which means - your homemade recipes & remedies will hold more medicine, taste more delicious and be more effective. . If you’re interested in dehydrating - I wrote a full guide to help you choose a dehydrator and get started! .

  • I was thinking about decorating the house more for the holidays.. but to be honest I don’t want to go shopping and spend a bunch of money on Christmas “stuff” . So I just picked up a dozen oranges, sliced and dehydrated them and plan to spend the weekend making 🍊 garlands. . ☺️ that feels so much better!! . . . . . . #herbalist #naturalhome #naturaldecor #oldfashioned #garlands #homemade #homemadeholiday #familyherbalist #selfcare #christmas #thrifty
  • Juniper berries are known for making gin... but they’d also be helpful at relieving the hangover! . On the blog I’m sharing the benefits of juniper berries and how it’s used topically - with a recipe to make a JUNIPER BATH for yourself, or for your clients, to support overall wellness . Juniper is slightly warming and stimulating. The aroma is clean, like the forest air and brings relief in so many ways. . 〰️ arthritis 〰️ acne 〰️ eczema, psoriasis 〰️ eliminates waste buildup in tissue 〰️ soothes sore muscles . The details and recipe for how to use juniper berry is on the blog, link is in the bio 💚 . . . . . #herbalism #herballifestyle #herbalist #herbalmedicine #herbalskincare #skinhealth #herbalskin #herbalskinsolutions #skincareherbal #skincarenatural #selfcaretip #urbanherbalist #familyherbalist #homeherbalist #floridaherbalist #herballifestyle #juniperberry
  • Here's a quick tip that can make a big difference! ⠀ .⠀ As the weather gets colder - our showers tend to get hotter. Which can dehydrate and dry out our skin.⠀ .⠀ Here's what you do: before you step into the shower, apply honey all over your face. I love to use the thicker honey, it feels like a balm on the skin. ⠀ .⠀ As you shower, the honey will draw in all that steamy moisture deep into the inner layers of skin. Leave it on as you wash, only rinsing it off at the end.⠀ .⠀ Always buy a raw, unfiltered honey and take the extra effort to source carefully from a brand that is supporting the bees 🐝In return, you'll be well taken care of, feel soft and dewy all season.⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #herbalism #herbalifestyle #herbalist #herbalmedicine #herbalskincare #skinhealth #herbalskin #herbalskinsolutions #skincareherbal #skincarenatural #selfcaretip #urbanherbalist #familyherbalist #homeherbalist #floridaherbalist #herbalistlifestyle #honey

  • My passion is the skin! I'm endlessly fascinated by this organ - and when I think about skincare - I think about nourishment. Food for the skin. ⠀ .⠀ Elderberry is an herb that I've been using a lot this week. It's been traditionally used as nourishment for the body, inside, and out. ⠀ .⠀ Elderberries are antioxidant RICH. Look at the purple color - it tells you everything. Antioxidants give resilience to skin.⠀ .⠀ Elderberry flowers move stagnant energy and promote circulation. It's astringent, which tones the skin and controls oil production. ⠀ .⠀ To make your mask, blend:⠀ 1 part berries + 1 part flowers until powdery fine. Combine with 1 part kaolin clay. (1 part means equal measurements) ⠀ .⠀ The dry powdered mix will keep for 3-6 months. ⠀ .⠀ A tip when activating your mask: ⠀ Scoop out 1 tbsp of powdered mask and mix with droplets of HOT water to form creamy consistency - and then let it steep for a few minutes. This is an herbal mask, steep it like a tea. Also add in a couple drops of serum, or oil. ⠀ ⠀ The hot water and oil helps to pull out all the healing constituents - both water soluble & oil soluble.⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #herbalism #herbalifestyle #herbalist #herbalmedicine #herbalskincare #skinhealth #herbalskin #herbalskinsolutions #skincareherbal #skincarenatural #selfcaretip #urbanherbalist #familyherbalist #homeherbalist #floridaherbalist #herbalistlifestyle #elderberry
  • TOPICAL HERBALISM⠀ .⠀ When we consume an herb... our body takes in this whole food and breaks it down into a useable form. ⠀ .⠀ BUT HOW ABOUT OUR SKIN? How do you nourish the skin topically with whole food herbs?⠀ .⠀ Here we have dried elderberry - it's rough, it's hard and in its whole form, we can't use it on the skin topically. We need to process it - as our body does internally - to make its benefits available. ⠀ .⠀ Elderberry is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, it's anti-inflammatory and incredibly high in antioxidants (that purple color tells you!) Its' basically skin food! ⠀ .⠀ You can encourage those nutrients out through an infusion or hydrosol preparation. ⠀ .⠀ You can also make herbal POWDER.⠀ Grinding the herb, breaks open those plant cell walls, to more easily release its medicine. You can then use this powder to make herbal facial masks. ⠀ .⠀ To make your own herbal powder - you need a blender or bullet blender, that can grind the elderberries into as fine of a powder as you can get it! Grinding it fresh will give you the most potent and active benefits.⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #herbalism #herbalifestyle #herbalist #herbalmedicine #herbalskincare #skinhealth #herbalskin #herbalskinsolutions #skincareherbal #skincarenatural #selfcaretip #urbanherbalist #familyherbalist #homeherbalist #floridaherbalist #herbalistlifestyle #elderberry

About Me

Hi, I'm Militza

I was a busy mom living in a busy city, frustrated by the things I learned about the products I brought into my home. I began to make my own skincare from necessity and it turned into a happy, healthy & green lifestyle. And now I want the same for you too.
