Hey everyone. The chamomile tincture video has been live a few days now, and I have loved reading what you are making and asking. One thing came up again and again in the comments: a lot of you want to make tinctures without alcohol, and several of you asked specifically about the glycerin method. I hear you, and yes, that one is coming.

If you have not watched the first video yet, start there. It walks you through your first tincture start to finish with the simple folk method, no ratios and no measuring, plus the one mistake most beginners make in the first 24 hours that can quietly ruin a whole batch.

While I work on the alcohol-free version, tell me in the comments: which herb do you want to tincture, and would you rather learn the glycerin method or another alcohol-free approach? Your answers are shaping exactly what I film next.

Quick question before I share something new this week.
When it comes to making your own herbal medicine at home, what stops you?

Drop your answer in the poll. I am asking because the thing I am about to share was made for exactly this, and I want to know where most of you are starting from.

I remember the first time we dropped Niles off at daycare. That first year we hadn't spent more than 2 hours or so apart because he was greedy 😂 , refused a bottle, and nursed every 90 minutes around the clock.

Mrs. Harper in Brooklyn couldn't have been kinder, more experienced or reassuring and yet I was, and I think most parents can relate, afraid.

This is my baby. My heart, living outside my body. I don't know you. People can be manipulative and unhinged.

"He's going to be fine and so will you," I reassured myself. She's only a 20 minute walk away and it's only for a few hours. If even a hair on his George Foreman hairline looks out of place, I can take her down.

I can be unhinged too.

Tami and I cried after dropping him off. And when we picked him up, he flew into our arms. The sparkle in his eyes still glowing. Ms. Harper loved and took excellent care of him.

We cried again on the last day when he was in her care because we were moving to Atlanta.

Friday, when my publisher sent the live link to my book, this familiar fear rose to the surface.

As excited as I am to share this offering with you, I had take some time to move through the anxiety.

"What if no one buys it?"

That's ridiculous. You at least have a sale from your mother.

"What if they don't like it?"

But I do, so that's what matters.

"What if it feels like every other herb book?"

You wrote the book you needed. You answered questions you couldn’t find addressed in other herbalism books. That alone makes it unique.

What began on March 25, 2025 as an email exchange, has finally culminated in a childhood dream fulfilled.

The Confident Family Herbalist: A Step By Step Guide to Herbs, Remedies and Everyday Care is here.

This book is also my baby, and to borrow from Erykah Badu, "I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t!"

Pre-sales are live and you can receive 20% off and free shipping directly from the publisher's website. Code: CFH20.

(The US website allows free shipping direct from the US distributor. The rest of the world should use the UK website.)

Over the years, you all have shown our family and our work incredible support, encouragement and love.

I’m grateful to share this offering with you, and I hope it’s received with the intention that it was written — to be a trusted part of your herbal library, one you reach for when you want clear guidance, practical recipes, and a deeper understanding of how to support yourself and your family with plants.

It will help you save time, reduce overwhelm, make confident and responsible healthcare choices, and build a home herbal practice you can actually rely on in real life.

I know my book baby is in good hands.

With joy,
Selima

P.S. This book is the one I needed when I was first learning to navigate my family’s health.

It’s the book I’ve wished for in those late-night moments when coughs wouldn’t stop, when restlessness kept everyone up, when digestive discomfort lingered, when skin issues flared, when chronic pain made daily life harder, or when I felt like I had to choose between calling the doctor or panicking.

I wrote it for you, for me, and for anyone — whether you’re supporting a child, a partner, an aging parent, or yourself — who wants to feel more grounded, capable, and connected to the healing power of plants in their own home as they care for the full spectrum of health issues that arise across generations.

If you’re new here…welcome 🌿

I’m Selima, and you won’t find gimmicks, gatekeeping, or guru garbage. Your healing deserves more care than fear-based wellness, fads that underdeliver, and miracle-cures that overpromise.

Just practical herbal education, ancestral wisdom, science, recipes you can use, and encouragement as you build a real relationship with the plants and deepen the relationship you have between you and YOU.

Pull up a seat and get your notebooks ready. Class is in session. 🌿

🛑 REGISTRATION CLOSES SOON 🛑 There is always a lot going on in the world.

When isn’t there? But this moment we’re living through feels especially significant.

That is part of why I am so deeply looking forward to our 2nd Annual Soul & Soil Retreat with RE Endeavors, taking place June 18–21, 2026 at Ryder Farm in Brewster, New York.

Last year, when we entered the 127-acre farm, we felt an immediate shift. It’s like we were in a bubble, nature’s embrace.

It is a special place and a tender experience. And the transformation that unfolded there last year was beautiful to witness.

People arrived carrying one story about themselves and left feeling steadier, clearer, more open, and in better health...literally.

They left more connected to their bodies, more trusting of what is possible, and more rooted in the simple truth that when we are nourished with fresh food, herbs, rest, movement, and loving community, the inner conversation we have with ourselves changes. And that changes everything else.

This is the kind of reminder, respite, and renewal we need right now.
So here is your formal invitation to join us in June to recharge, unplug, reconnect with the land and remember.

Remember who we are.
Remember that we are supported.
Remember that we know how to heal.

For four days, we’ll gather in the Hudson Valley for herbal workshops, intuitive plant walks, astrology talks, chef-prepared meals straight from the field, and spacious time on a breathtaking regenerative farm.

Because this gathering is intentionally intimate, there are limited rooms available.

If this is the kind of space your spirit has been asking for, we would love to welcome you.

I’m that auntie with the herbs who’s breaking generational health cycles, so in honor of Women’s Health Month, I made my nieces menstrual gummies.

Growing up, painful periods were something you just had to deal with. I want my nieces to know there are traditions, tools, and supportive practices that can help them feel more connected to their bodies.

And my LĒVO Lux and Gummy Maker made this so easy. I infused the herbs, swapped the infusion in place of water in my LĒVO gummy mix, and that was pretty much it.

If you love finding simple ways to make herbalism feel approachable for the next generation, the LĒVO Lux and Gummy Maker are honestly such fun tools to have in the kitchen.

Menstrual Gummies Recipe Using the LĒVO Lux

Ingredients

🌺 3 grams red raspberry leaf
🌺 3 grams cramp bark
🌺 3 grams blue vervain
🌺 Your favorite gummy mix from LĒVO or another preferred gummy recipe

Instructions

1. Add the red raspberry leaf, cramp bark, and blue vervain to your LĒVO Lux infuser.
2. Infuse at 150–200°F for 2 hours.
3. Strain the herbal infusion.
4. Use the finished infusion in place of the water called for in your favorite LĒVO gummy mix recipe.
5. Prepare the gummies according to the gummy mix instructions.

Here’s a bit of info on each herb:

🌿 Cramp Bark lives up to its name, supporting the body for menstrual comfort.

🌿 Red Raspberry Leaf is a nourishing herb rich in minerals that brings steady support.

🌿 Blue Vervain is deeply relaxing herb used when stress makes the body feel more tense - perfect for folks who are wound a bit too tight (sorry, not sorry nieces 🤣).

We gathered milky oats today — some of the last of it before the plant moves past its milky stage and turns to oatmeal. 🌾✨

A delicious milky oats lemonade recipe is on the next slide.

Milky oats medicine was actually what we had planned to make at our first annual Soil & Soul Retreat, but nature had other plans. The milky oats on the farm weren't ready yet... so our partner Kelly (@reendeavors/came) through with a frozen stash and saved the day. 🙌🏾

Are you ready to make medicine with us from herbs grown on a 127 acre regenerative farm? Of course you are!

Register for the Second Annual Soil & Soul Retreat — June 18–21!

Here's what's waiting for you:

Herbal medicine making the whole time 🌿

Astrology workshops

Farm-to-table meals made by a chef 🍽️

Rest. Actual rest. You will not go home tired — you'll go home fed and rejuvenated.
