A Day in the Life: Exploring the World of Plant Remedies - Q&A with Chelsee Joel
Ever wondered what a day in the life of someone deeply connected to plant remedies looks like? Chelsee, the creative mind behind our beloved elixirs, shares her daily rituals, insights, and tips on how to integrate these herbal wonders into your life seamlessly.
Everyday Botanical Rituals:
Q: How often do you take plants as remedies?
A: Every day. I’ve woven taking herbals and fungi into my everyday life. I can’t imagine a day without working with their spirits.
Creating Timeless Remedies:
Q: What are the first remedies you created?
A: Lions Heart this is my ride-or-die! This elixir literally has saved me countless times, the blend of botanicals is a godsend. Kava Chai and Brain Food are formulas that I’ve been crafting for just under 10 years. They’ve gone through a few renditions, but the essence of them has stayed the same. I recently remembered a sweet elixir I would create to flavor homemade kombucha that is reminiscent of what is now Moody Bloom.
Personal Elixir Consumption:
Q: How long does an elixir last you?
A: This feels like such a personal question haha! Honestly, it depends, usually our 2oz elixirs last me 1 or 2 months, but it really depends. If I’m sharing my bottle with my partner or a friend, I easily go through a bottle in a week lol.
The Harmony of Multiple Elixirs:
Q: Can you take more than one elixir at a time?
A: YES! All of our elixirs and products are all supportive and work beautifully together. They’re all siblings, and I take a lot of time in formulating each one to work together. Some of my recent favorites are mixing Moody Bloom and Venus Power in sparkly water. Another favorite combo that a lot of clients are working with is Dream Cloud and Lions Heart, especially on those nights when anxiety is taking over, and you need to be tucked in extra.
A Day in the Life with Plant Magic:
Q: What does a day in life look like using your products?
A: I start every morning with a cup of milky coffee with a spoonful of Brain Food stirred into the mix. I love dosing up with any of our elixirs in the early afternoon. I usually gauge what I need based on how I feel and what I would like support with, but you’ll always find Lions Heart or Moody Bloom in my bag or car. I dose up with our elixirs by adding them into my water or tea for slow release (I call this micro-dosing with plants), or if I’m on the run, I take them straight up in my mouth for quick action. Depending on what I have going on in the late afternoon, I make a Morphic Matcha, it gives me a boost of energy and mental clarity so I can finish the task at hand or as a preventative of crashing during a late event. To wind down in the evenings, I make a strong cup of Kava Chai as a nightcap, and before bed, I love taking Dream Cloud.
Chelsee's daily rituals serve as a testament to the transformative power of plant remedies. From morning coffee to evening relaxation, integrating these elixirs into your daily life promises a holistic approach to well-being. Dive into the world of botanical magic and experience the profound support they offer.
