Herbalism by Vegvísir

In the summer of 2023 I started a new hobby: making tinctures for all kinds of ailments. I had received a book with a lot of recipes for home and garden remedies for headaches, mood swings due to hormones, inflammation and so on. I really enjoyed being able to make remedies myself and seeing and feeling their working effect. Before I knew it I was giving everyone around me eucalyptus ointments, wonderfully smelling sprays and tinctures against a bloated stomach.

In my family of origin, we grew up with a lot of knowledge about nature. My mother always knew a solution for a remedy. It was therefore very common for us to use Western medicine alongside natural remedies. I think that was when the foundation for Herbalism by Vegvísir was already laid.

In the events that I organize or am involved in, contact with nature is an important part. For me, it is also the core of Shamanism. That is why it feels good to be busy with remedies that come directly from nature.

In the summer of 2024, I started foraging very specifically and learning more about certain plants. Whenever I found a special plant somewhere, I went completely crazy! At one point I found a whole field of red clover (stabilizes hormone balance, among other things) and chamomile (antispasmodic, stomach strengthening). A-ma-zing.

I love to experiment and so I started making my own tea blends for my own use. I have had the ambition to do this on a larger scale and maybe that will happen in the future, but for now it remains a wonderful hobby.

The sprays are my favorite from the beginning I think. The Sowulo spray (Sowulo is the name of the rune that means sun ), is the most requested spray from my environment. I made this spray with my favorite scent, namely lavender, and Florida water: a liquid from America that is made with a secret recipe and has a very floral scent.

My love for nature and self care come together in Herbalism and I am curious how this will develop over the years. I do know that I will always continue to experiment with remedies and tinctures for my own health and that of my environment.
