CALM (#1) Herbal Honey
#1 CALM Herbal Honey is made by infusing raw honey with dried organic lavender (Lavandula x intermedia), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). Each jar is 6 oz.
Lavender, Chamomile, and Skullcap are all herbs that benefit the nervous system, allowing our bodies and minds to relax.
Lavender's herbal actions include: sedative, hypnotic, relaxant, carminative (decreases gas), & bitter (stimulates digestion)
Chamomile's herbal actions include: sedative, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, & carminative (decreases gas)
Skullcap's herbal actions include: sedative, nervous system tonic (restorative), anti-spasmodic, & anxiolytic (reduces anxiety)
Each batch of Finlay's Garden Herbal Honey is lovingly crafted and yields only a few tasty jars at a time. After filling up mason jars with the honey and dried herbs, I place them in my sunroom for 4-6 weeks. I turn over each jar every day or two so that the ingredients can dance together. This process allows the sun to gently warm the honey in order to extract the beneficial properties of the herbs and to marry the delicious flavors. Then I gently heat the honey in a double-boiler so that I can strain out the herbs. You may find small particles of herbs left in the honey -- this is because I don't heat the honey too high nor do I strain it incredibly fine so as to not lose any benefits of the raw honey.

I purchased this Georgia Wildflower honey from the French Broad Food Co-Op (Asheville, NC). They procure the honey from Haw Creek Honey Co. The herbs I use come from Mountain Rose Herbs (Eugene, OR) and Frontier Co-Op (Norway, IA). My labels are printed on recycled white labels, and I reuse packaging materials in my shipments.
