Ancestors Remembering Elixir
for longevity + strengthening of your blood and remembering the long strength of your bloodlines:::
For years a potion for ancestor work has been in the making, knowing how integral this relationship is to healing - and it's finally here featuring Rosemary and Ginkgo Leaf. On a physical level, both these herbs have affiliations with our circulatory systems – opening up and strengthening arteries, preventing blood clots, dilating capillaries, scavenging free radicals and improving blood flow to the extremities (hands and feet) as well as to the brain which are why they are famed herbs for supporting better cognitive function, clearer thinking, improving memory recall and even reversing/slowing early stages of Alzheimers and dementia. On an energetic level, Rosemary has long been used as a ceremonial herb for remembrance – thrown into graves and adorning wreaths, coffins + funerals as loved ones pass over; and Greek students wore woven Rosemary wreaths around their head to stimulate memory recall.
Ginkgo is one of the oldest surviving tree species in the world with evidence of its beautiful two-lobed leaf (like a brain) found to exist in the times of dinosaurs and each tree living up to 4000 years old – its survived so long due to its indestructible qualities which transfer to the longevity of its medicine. Through our blood, the DNA of our ancestors travels through and around our body in ongoing circulation... may this elixir help you feel the ways in which they hold, sustain and nourish you through this life.
Suggested Uses:
- Take 1 to 2 dropperfuls directly on tongue when ENHANCED MEMORY or BRAIN FUNCTION is needed.
- Or during ANCESTOR WORK: this can be ceremonial on own or in a group; or as simple as before journalling, meditation, a walk or returning home. Ancestor Work doesn’t have to be fancy, it is simply intentional work of healing intergenerational wounds and learning from/improving communication with your well ancestors who have much guidance to offer - your mindset counts most.- As multifaceted healing herbs, both Rosemary and Ginkgo also offer ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY and ANTIOXIDANT actions so remember to call on this “elixir of long life” if and when illness or ailments strike.

What is Mutual Aid? Who am I "paying forward" to?
In our attempt to make plant medicines more accessible for all, Seed Medicine Garden sends regular free medicine donations to communities as needs arise. In the past this has included Indigenous activists, youth leaders and trans youth, as well as homeless single mothers, refugees and members of the disabled community.
When you "pay forward" 1 or 2 products, you will still receive one (or selected quantity) of your chosen medicine as well as donating the credit for 1 or 2 products to go towards our herbal mutual aid projects.
There seems to be an increasing call for plant support through these times and we are continually seeking pathways to those who need it most. Please contact us: connect@seedmedicine.garden if you or a community you know is without financial means but needing herbal care.
