We love turkey bush from the top end! It's got an incredible aroma, and flowers in the dry season.
Native smudges that grow in inabundance from Australia's soils are a great alternative to rare overharvested overseas options. During dry season the pink flowers of Calytrix exstipulata, a Myrtaceae, can be seen lighting the bush up with colour. It smells divine and keeps bugs at bay.
Here's a few reasons why to chose native aromatic plants like lemon myrtle, lemon tea tree and eucalypt smudges:
- It connects us to our own soils & sense of belonging
- Wild foraging is a beautiul way to connect with our landscape, but we can't wild forage plants that don't grow here
- Native plants connect us to the culture that birthed from this landscape, allowing reverance and respect for the old ways of lore and the story of the medicine
- Natives connect us to the season's that we live in, they aren't abstract they are relevant
- Natives share our land so they tackle the same problems we are dealing with on the day to day

Frog medicine
I have always loved frogs since I was a child. I wanted a pet frog back then, but my parents informed me we needed a licence to have a green tree frog. Seemed strange to me, as I would see them on windows, in backyard water features, under the lip of public toilets jumping on my bare bum.
They just seemed odd, and different, and like nothing else I’d seen. I lked that about them. It is much more powerful to be connected to frog medicine than a jaguar or an eagle. We all know the powerf of an apex predator, a hunter. It’s in the eagle’s eyes, that he owns the sky. It’s in the puma’s body, it’s power is on display with no shame.
But the frog’s power is deeper and more complex, more of the water in that it is under the surface. A frog has to change bodies from a swimming wriggler to a full bodied jumper. It has to change it’s movement from swimming to hopping. It changes from water breather to air breather. It emerges from the submerged underwater to a land and tree creature. A frog’s medicine is in its ability to transform.
They still show up from time to time. Jumping through a window onto my face whilst asleep. Showing up at times of ceremony.

We’ve been out bush.. again.. and practicing moving like an animal. We have been shooting arrows and squealing like pigs. We have been sitting in nature in silence and letting the world fill up our bodies from the inside.
Now we are ready to face the dragons and find the buried treasure. There is no way we can fail its just an obstacle course of problems to solve and play with.
Plants are ready for your bellies and want to take over your minds.
Hair Booster oil and all the new hair growth its stimulated!
Jojoba, argan and loads of good oils infused with gotu kola, amla, brahmi, nettle and horsetail with rosemary, lavender and rose wood essential oils.
Ive heard some very positive feedback from people with thinning patches. I don’t really need more hair myself but soo cool to see it in action.

"I recently tried EntheoBotanica's Blue Lotus/Tulsi/Damiana tincture blend (Wyld Hearts). What an amazing love potion! My partner and I had some negative energy between us, and ten minutes after taking some tincture that energy melted away, and we were sitting together on the couch chatting. It really is a super sensual and soothing blend for the mind and the emotions."
