Dandelion in September

As the seasons turn toward autumn, dandelion roots begin drawing down their energy. This is prime time for harvest if you’re making teas or tinctures for digestion, gentle detox, or liver support. While their golden blooms are less common now, the roots beneath the soil are full of strength — a reminder that wellness often comes from what we don’t see at first glance.

Featured Herb: Nettle (Urtica dioica)

Still lush and green along Wisconsin fencerows, nettle offers a powerhouse of minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. It’s a classic tonic herb for nourishing the body, supporting energy, and even easing seasonal transitions. A cup of nettle tea can be a wonderful daily ally as the days shorten.

🌱 May this week bring balance, nourishment, and steady roots beneath your steps.
