Hello all!

I hope everything is remaining afloat in your lives, that the edges are fluffly and the roads are smooth and soft. This summer, I'll be moving to Chicago until my fall semester starts again in Milwaukee, and I'll be staying at the Ball Hall with my darlingheart working on a line of herbal remedies I'd like to produce and sell. It will start from a small indoor garden with a variety of herbs and such that I'll need for making essential oils and hand salves and what not, or through purchasing the herbs from local farmers or organic food markets. Either way, I'll make sure all that I use is natural and organic. I'll use my same moniker, Plumwife, for the little bottles and things.

This is something I'm increasingly becoming more and more passionate about. It allows us to focuse our energy on our body, establishing a more intimate relationship with it. Instead of questioning why we have certain ailments, most just resort to popping pills and heading to the doctors office right away, which proves to be cold and isolating. So with herbal remedies, you tone and strengthen these weak areas. Though it takes time, you are able to witness your body changing.

What I would like to know is if anyone has any thing that they need specifically?
It might take a bit for the orders to be produced, at least until I'm settled in Chicago and have made a little space for myself and my craft, but I would still like to know what is in demand, or what you would like specifically that I can make for you to purchase.

What I have in mind is;
hand salves for different purposes such as a general healing salve for minor cuts, scraps, burns,
a salve for headaches,
for dry skin
for achey muscles

essential oils
each oil provides a different purpose, (headaches, mood, massage oils, etc)
or i could mix smells that you like best

face and body washes, creams, and tonics
based on if you have oil,dry, sensitive skin, acne, rosacea, etc.

and all purpose tea mixes
good for PMS
aphrodisiacs (there are a variety of herbs that help with blood circulation or alternatives to viagra, and that just heighten your libido)

any other suggestions? if there's a specific problem you've been grappling with, let me know and i'll do my best to suggest an herbal alternative to you or try provide an essential oil or salve for you, if you'd be interested in purchasing. If you're interested in the ingredients, I can let you know what a basic hand salve, essential oil, or infused oil consists of, and if you give me certain smells your fond of or problems you're facing, I can be more specific.

if you've read this far, that means i've held your attention.
if you'd be interested in any of this at all, please feel free to email me at

i look forward to your responses.

shine on me a little please,
Catherine
