Say It Sister Lip Balm

This lip softening and moisturizing and voice raising balm celebrates beloved women and femme folk the world over. The local plants within encourage and support us in speaking our experience, story, truth, heart, and mind. This feels especially true for those of us who experience grandmothers and great grandmothers and all femme ancestors as sources of deep connection to the land, to herstory/history, to self, and to wisdom. Some of the traditional uses of the plants for this purpose:

- Dandelion flowers - invite your inner child to be present and speak. theirs too, when possible. only you, when not. 
- Wild violets - in an atmosphere of trust, lived truth, honesty, humility and strength
- Calendula - move and speak confidently in powerful healing beauty, like the flowers do. if they cut you off, just come right back, there’s no end to you until you feel done 
- Yarrow - with courage in the everyday and in battle
- Peppermint - be bold and remember that you are worthy and capable of creating change and getting people and things moving
- Self heal - be held by the green. this plant is especially soothing to the mouth and throat in all forms and is especially great if the speaking or yelling you need to do will be/is/was difficult for you
