Using my herbs and flowers to make natural incense 🕯️🧚🏻♀️ No mystery ingredients. Just lavender, rose petals, rosemary, chamomile, calendula, and a pinch of clove. Ground it fine, mixed it with makko powder (the traditional binder) and water right in my mortar, then hand coated it onto bamboo skewers. Now it’s just time. They rest and dry for about a week before they’re ready to burn. On another note: the other day I heard healing is just returning to the girl you were at 16 and loving her the way she deserved to be loved back then. I understand that deeply in this era of my life. Herbal medicines and wild crafting have always interested me, I just lost sight of who my soul knows I am for a little more than a decade. I am slowly but surely being reminded. I hope you guys create a reason to smile today 💕 #naturalincense #diyincense #homesteadlife #herbalism #wildcrafting
