Blue Deer Herbs and Tea embodies the synthesis of my life's journey as a Herbalist of Western & Traditional Chinese Medicine. Years spent in China immersed in Tea culture, privileged to visit 1000 year old Pu'erh Trees, spending time in Herbal Dispensaries that hold an immense wealth of natures healing roots, leaves, berries, fungi and other. The healing benefits of herbs goes way beyond the activ
e ingredients and into the dreaming of Earth where we recognise them as spirit allies, master teachers and intelligent energetic beings full of wisdom and guidance. The world has changed, once the wisdoms of plant medicines and teachings of the old ways were shared around fires and in kitchens that smelled like dirt and Frankincense, full of tinctures & pots with herbs in various stages of decoctions. Women laughing at the screwed up faces of children as they tasted the Gentians and other bitters, teaching them the nuances of herb craft, how to identify and what they are used for. The starlight Blue Deer guide comes with remembrance of why I came. He walks between the worlds with me steering this vision of ensuring future generations of souls coming to Earth REMEMBER their connection to the natural world, the elements, and Herbs as powerful medicines and gateways to our inner landscapes.. It is my absolute honour as cuentacuentos (story keeper of the herbs, plants & elements) - Earth speak, to share my Medicinal Herbal creations and exquisite rare & fine Teas of the world with you. Enjoy
Love Laura
