🌿Extremely excited to be part of Herbstalk again this year…sad since it’s going to be the last one but so proud and honored 🌿 Mark your calendars, a lot of vendors and amazing herbal classes all weekend!! @themoonandthetree will be there Saturday June 6th! ❤️ Hello, I’m Sara! The healer and herbalist behind The Moon and the Tree 🌙🌲 I grew up in Italy, spending my childhood playing in my grandparents’ garden—surrounded by the scent of herbs, the rhythm of the seasons, and the quiet wisdom of traditional plant care. Those early experiences planted the seed for the work I do today. I hold several certificates in traditional herbalism, which have deepened my understanding of plant-based remedies and strengthened my commitment to creating products with intention and care. My approach blends this knowledge with a modern, mindful perspective on everyday wellbeing. I create small-batch formulations using botanical oils, rich butters, and gentle herbal infusions—each one thoughtfully crafted to be simple, effective, and nurturing. From skincare to wellness and animal care, every product reflects my belief that nature offers what we need when we treat it with respect. As a small business owner, I value transparency, sustainability, and authenticity. Every step—from sourcing ingredients to final packaging—is guided by a desire to create something honest, beautiful, and truly beneficial. This is more than a business for me—it is a way to share a slower, more conscious way of living, rooted in nature, tradition, and care. #herbalist #herbalism #smallbusiness #herbalgoddess #plantmedicinewoman

🌸 Pressed flowers hold more than beauty — they hold a moment in time. There’s something magical about gathering blooms, carefully pressing each petal, and preserving nature’s artwork forever.✨ I love using pressed flowers as a way to slow down, connect with nature, and appreciate the tiny details often overlooked. Every flower tells its own story through color, texture, and shape. Whether tucked into journals, handmade skincare packaging, art, candles, or botanical creations, pressed flowers bring a soft earthy beauty into everyday life. 🌿 “Flowers don’t worry about how they bloom, they simply open.” #FloralPressing #PressedFlowers #BotanicalArt #NatureInspired #HerbalLifestyle

🌸In the language of flowers, lilacs symbolize wisdom, young love and remembrance, often evoking long forgotten emotions and memories. Their sweet scent naturally soothes, relaxes, calms, and uplifts the spirit.🌸 Lilacs have a history rooted in ancient Greek mythology. Pan, the god of forests, was head-over-heels in love with a nymph named Syringa. One day, while he was pursuing her through the forest, she disguised herself by turning herself into a lilac shrub. To Pan’s surprise, he could not find Syringa, but found the shrub. Because the lilac shrub consists of hollow reeds, he cut the reeds and created the first pan pipe. The scientific name for lilac is Syringa vulgaris, and the name is derived from the Greek word “syrinks” which means pipe. The Arabic word for this flower is “lilak” which refers to the light purple color of its flowers. The Celtics regarded lilacs as “magical” because of their incredibly intoxicating fragrance. The giving of a lilac in the Victorian Age, was meant to be a reminder of an old love. In Russia, holding a sprig of lilac over a newborn would bring wisdom. #lilac #spring #flowers #flowerstagram #languageofflowers

🌸Beltane is one of the four great Gaelic fire festivals. It is a threshold day when the veil between worlds grows thin and life rushes back in. Its name means bright fire. Where Samhain honors descent and death, Beltane celebrates the return of the light. It honors our desire and our becoming. Beltane is the face of the Goddess who dances barefoot through meadows. She is Persephone in her innocence. She is Artemis in her freedom. She is Aphrodite in her fullness. She is a woman who is not waiting to be chosen, because she has already chosen herself. Once, our ancestors leapt through twin bonfires to bless the land and the body. They crowned themselves in flowers, made love to the earth and honored desire as something sacred... not something to be earned or hidden away. Today, we remember.🌸 From artemisaligned #beltane #beltaneblessings

My upcoming events!!! More soon to add to the calendar! Stay tuned!! Really excited and happy 🌸🌿 @themoonandthetree #markets #farmermarket #botanical #skincare @herbstalk @the143market @melrosefarmersmarket

🌿 Nettle — The Protector URTICA DIOICA I’ve always felt a deep connection to nettle—its strength, its fire, its quiet protection. As an Aries, I feel especially aligned with its energy: bold, protective, and rooted in instinct. And somehow, it always finds me when I need it most— in those moments when I feel low, tired, or a little lost… nettle brings me back to myself. ⚔️ Aligned with Mars 🔥 A symbol of protection, courage, and boundaries 🌱 A reminder that softness can still be powerful This is your plant when you need to: • protect your energy • stand your ground • reconnect with your inner strength 🌿 Physical & Herbal Properties Nettle is deeply nourishing and restorative: * Rich in minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium) * Supports blood building and circulation * Strengthens hair, skin, and nails * Helps with allergies (natural antihistamine effect) * Supports kidneys and overall detox pathways It’s often seen as a “tonic herb”—something that builds strength over time rather than acting quickly. Lately, I’ve been making a strong infusion every night— a simple ritual, a moment to slow down, to nourish, to reconnect. 🌙 SUPER INFUSION 1oz nettle in 3oz boiling water, let it steep overnight.Drink it through the day Wild, resilient, and deeply nourishing, Stinging Nettle is more than a plant… it’s an ally. “I am grounded. I am protected. I am strong.” #herbalism #plantmagic #nettle #urticadioica #ariesenergy apothecary botanicalbeauty ritual greenwitch naturalwellness

Goodnight Moon Serum 🌝I want to introduce you my newest product..Goodnight Moon Serum a natural alternative to retinol! I have been using and testing this for a while and i absolutely love the effect that is being having on my skin.🌝 Star ingredient? BUKUCHIOL Bakuchiol extract comes from the Babchi plant, known for its purple blossoms and its use in Chinese and Indian medicine. Bakuchiol has properties similar to retinol, without causing issues to sensitive skin. Bakuchiol vs. retinol Retinol — a form of vitamin A — helps improve your skin’s elasticity and thickness. Over time, retinol can help your skin’s overall texture and appearance. While it has many positive qualities, retinol can also cause side effects for people with sensitive skin. “It’s been known to cause dry, irritated skin, as well as itching or burning for some,” Bakuchiol is often used as a gentler alternative to retinol. It may help your skin look smoother and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, doesn’t seem to thin the outer layer of your skin — one reason why retinol increases sun sensitivity. But you should still wear sunscreen whether you’re using bakuchiol or retinol. How to use it * Apply it once or twice a day. ( I apply it at night and during the day I use Winter Solstice or Summer Solstice) * If using it twice a day, apply it once in the morning and once in the evening. * Use it before your nightly or morning moisturizer. If you’ve got sensitive skin, bakuchiol may be a good alternative to retinol. It may help address signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve your skin’s tone and texture. While it’s considered to be a safe skin care product, be sure to talk to a healthcare provider if you’re worried about possible side effects. Goodnight Moon Serum ingredients: Jojoba oil, bukuchiol oil, squalene oil, Rosehip oil, Vit E, frankincense EO, geranium EO, blue tansy EO $35 1oz / 30ml #retinol #retinolalternative #naturalskincareproducts #botanicallybased #skincare
