It's been a while since I made a creosote bundle. Got an order in yesterday and checked in on a few of these beautiful plants
The creosote bushes are lush and aromatic after all the summer rain we had. Perfect for bundling.
Some customers love hanging these in the shower, so the steam will smell like desert rain ๐ง๏ธ
I like to let a bundle dry and use it to smudge. Burning it also helps to repel mosquitos ๐ฅ
Send us a message or order one on #plebeianmarket if you'd like to grab one ๐ซถ

We've sold out of Ocotillo flowers for the season, so they'll next be available in the spring ๐ธ

๐ reduces inflammation: soothes arthritic joints, bruising and muscle pain
๐งก creates movement in the lymphatic system, especially in the pelvis
๐ฅ supports the liver, stimulates bile production & improves digestion
Let us know if you want to learn more about this magical plant or try it out!

Cold mornings are reminding me that winter is coming fast in this little patch of desert. We won't see much snow, but I am still often surprised by how much the temperatures drop when the sun goes down
I love the feeling of our juniper hydrosol to cleanse my face in the morning, a plant known for it's warming and purifying qualities. The only ingredients used to make this hydrosol spray are juniper branches foraged from Southern New Mexico and distilled water
We're very close to introducing a new face oil infused with juniper berries that will support your skin through a cold, dry winter (and will pair perfectly with the juniper hydrosol). Stay tuned ๐๐

Juniper Hydrosol - Face, Body & Room Spray - 4 oz.
Juniper is known for its purifying and rejuvenating qualities. Spiritually, this plant increases intuition and attracts abundance. This hydrosol is...
The only products I use on my face are our hydrosols and oils ๐ฑ
Commercial lotions and skin care products contain emulsifiers, thickeners, sunscreens and preservatives that may cause more damage than protection
Why combine hydrosols and oils, like our Creosote Hydrosol and Desert Sun Face Serum? โ๏ธ
The hydrosol moisturizes with distilled water and the essential oils of the plant. Creosote is particularly good at killing bacteria, cleansing, and cooling our skin
Followed by a mixture of protective oils to lock in hydration, protect from the sun, and smooth wrinkles & scars
Our customers report less acne, brighter, and more moisturized skin ๐ซ

We've been resting a lot during a rainy weekend in the #desert
To those of you also living #offgrid and #homesteading - what are your favorite rainy day tasks?
For now, I'm just enjoying the view of the foggy mountains ๐ฉต


Making a spray that smells like desert rain ๐ฉต
I love the beauty of distilling fresh herbs in our copper alembic. The copper is a traditional material for making hydrosols and also improves the scent by segregating sulfate compounds
Here is creosote being prepared for the distillation process to make a face spray that is uplifting, cleansing, clears up acne, and has that lovely smell of rain in the desert
Creosote hydrosol will remain stocked in our shop on #plebeianmarket. We also have juniper and mugwort available, with more coming very soon! ๐

Walking our #offgrid #desert property this summer has brought so many beautiful surprises and medicinal #plants. My first encounter with a native hibiscus. What a blessing ๐ธ

Our creosote hydrosol is made by distilling water with fresh creosote leaves - that's it. This process extracts the essential oils and other aromatic compounds into a spray you can use on your face, body, and linens.
Customers have said it makes an amazing face toner, clearing up their acne and soothing old scars.
I love the cleansing energy of creosote for washing away negativity as well. And it smells amazing, like desert rain.

These products are birthed on our 40 acres of land in Southern Arizona. We've been here just over a year and this summer was much wetter than last. Recently, the desert has bloomed with at least a dozen plants that are new for me to identify.
I am always pulled in by the nightshades, so here is a little spotlight (one of these is making it's way into a massage oil ๐)
My first time meeting a wild tomatillo!
And now a datura plant is getting ready to bloom at our doorstep ๐


If you have visited the Arizona desert, you are probably familiar with creosote - the plant that fills the air with its scent after a rain
It is also an amazing plant to add to your medicine cabinet
Creosote is rich in antioxidants and other compounds to support our bodies while we heal. It prevents infection and encourages skin regeneration
Now available infused into a salve with other natural ingredients that support wound healing and deep hydration
Perfect for cuts and scrapes, scars, sunburns, eczema, and dry skin
