HAPPY BY NATURE

In this video, we hear how easily Wilde Als grows, as well as the little bugs it attracts and the benefits that come along with it 🪲🌿🐞.

Listen carefully as Constance shares the recipe to a herbal blend, that she claims has kept her family healthy for generations 👂🏽🌿 🫖

Here, Gundula talks about Babylonstoren’s Healing Garden 💜.We hear about what inspired it, its design and where we can find Artemisia in it 🌱.It’s a herbal garden designed for humans, just like us. One where reality feels a bit fantastical simply because of its beauty ✨

This time, we are joined by Constance Stuurman, another Babylonstoren Horticulturist 🌳. She informs us how she interacts with Wilde Als, describing how it is used to nurture the wellbeing of her and her family 💚🌱

In this video Gundala Deutschlander, Horticulturist at Babylonstoren, talks us through Wilde Als 🌱. We learn that it helps with many ailments (hence, its name 💡) as well as the different methods of using it ☕️.Thank you to Babylonstoren for hosting us. Stay tuned 📺. We’ll release a new video on Local Herbalism every 2 weeks

This tea combination of Wilde Als (Artemisia afra) and Kankerbos (Lessertia frutescens) is wonderfully bitter and such an effective digestion booster. Spring cleaning inside and out 🌱

Watch how Isaac Yellowman and I demonstrate how to do Artemisia afra steam inhalation with essential oil 😊🌱. The smell is quite strong and really good for clearing up those sinuses 👃🏽

In this second video with Craig Wright, he talks us through various topics, including: Artemisia afra’s wound-healing properties 🩹, over-harvesting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and how to grow Artemisia afra 🌱.

Here, we talk about combining Artimisia afra with Lessertia frutescens (Sutherlandia/Kankerbos). These bitter buddies form a digestive medicine that is good for the stomach and stimulating appetite 🌱. Stay tuned for the tea demonstration to be posted next week ☕️ 📺.

Whether we are in the forest, mountain or in our little green haven, we are always getting #HappyByNature 💚. We are founded on the universal principle of happiness; researching and developing wellbeing products and services that are good, green & beautiful. We offer opportunities to discover, experience, collaborate and co-create with Nature for the wellbeing of all 🌿🌲🍃🌞

Watch Fatima demonstrate how to insert Artemisia nose plugs into the nose 🌿 😂 👃.We lightly crush the leaves, roll them up and insert them. This helps with decongestion of the nasal cavity and it smells pretty.⚠️ When trying this out, leave a piece of leaf sticking out of the nose, so that it can be pulled out!

In this video, Isaac Yellowman demonstrates how to make 3 different teas 🌿, made with:
1. “Mountain Als” = Hippia frutescens (Scrambling Wormwood)
2. Wilde Als from the Garden = Artemisia afra
3. Dried Wilde Als = Artemisia afra
The method used here is simply: Herb + Hot Water = Tea ☕️P.S. remember to use in moderation, and only for short periods.
