I have been using Avenas products for almost a decade, since coming across her highway sign in Maine that led us to the most magical little fairy garden of magical herbs and flowers. After visiting the garden I was hooked on all of Debs products. Her lavender fairy flower cream is one of my favourites and I love the healing salve and her lemon lip balm! Thank you for providing such beautiful gifts to us Deb!

I received a gift of Avena ashwagandha from a friend. I have multiple health issues, all cancer and surgery related, and I have found this product to be better than ibuprofen, tylenol, and other remedies I have tried. I think this potent root is better than cbd oil. . Start with half a teaspoon and see how you do. This particular brand is not as strong tasting as another I purchased. Saying that, you still need to mix it well in something. I can handle most tastes, but this one warrants a little juice or smoothie to cut the taste.

Questions & Answers

I would like some information about an invasion of galls on my Rosa rugosa plants. They seem to be sucking the life out of the rose bushes. How can I get rid of them.

Hi Julienne, unfortunately, we have no experience with galls on Rosa rugosa. We would advise contacting your local extension service or a nursery that sells Rosa rugosa shrubs to seek further guidance. Best of luck!

I am interested in foot soaks. Any recommendations of how to make a foot soak? And are there herbs that seem to be favored for foot soaks?

Warm foot baths can be prepared as an herbal tea. Place 6-8 tbsp of dried herbs into a quart glass jar or stainless or glass pot, cover with 4 cups of hot water, and let infuse for 5 minutes; then pour the herbs and hot water into an enamel or plastic dish pan that's only used for foot baths. Soak both feet in this tea once it reaches a comfortable temperature. My favorite herbs for foot baths include: calendula, lavender, comfrey leaves, lemon verbena, sage, rosemary, and fresh pine needles. Alternately, you can soak your feet in heated water along with 1-2 drops of a pure essential oil such as: lavender, rosemary, sage, pine, lemon grass, or rose geranium. (Only use pure essential oils, not synthetic ones; purchase essential oils from a company that does not sell essential oils made from at-risk or endangered plants like sandalwood. Essential oils are not as sustainable as dried herbs that you or other organic farmers grow.)

I have been gifted about 20 slices of astragalus root and strangely, I have never made a remedy of astragalus! Do you have a bit of guidance for an effective tincture? Sending peace and love to everyone⚘ Pat

Hello Pat! Without knowing the weight of the 20 slices of astragalus root, it's difficult to share a recipe for tincture. You can, however, use the roots for preparing a tea. To make a root decoction: for 4 cups of tea, use approximately 6 tablespoons of dried root (for root slices, you will have to use your eyes to get a sense of tablespoons), pour water over the roots, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, covered. Drink 2 cups of tea/day, you can store the other 2 cups in a cool place and warm up the next day and drink as tea.

How to harvest and dry arnica?

Hi Toby, you can collect arnica flowers on a sunny, clear morning once the dew has dried. Then, lay them out to dry on a non-metal screen.
