May Day is an incredibly special day for working people all around our world–a convergence of ancient land based rites honoring the cyclical nature and interdependence  of our lives with the more recently created International Workers Day. May 1 was chosen to be IWD to commemorate the 1886 Hay Market affair in Chicago where on May 1 that year a general strike emerged, calling for the 8 hour workday. This strike was the first in a series of connected actions that took place over several years and were met with extreme state violence. To this day the struggle continues across our world and May Day continues to call us together in the name of the proletariat class demands and world peace.

Whether conscious or not, of course May 1 is when the workers of the world rose up. The Earth is full of raw natural power and we as the children of the Earth are extensions of that power. In Spring that energy is in full force rising up and we too rise. The Earth shows us the way–interdependence, diversity, caring and sharing. This elixir is made with our early Spring tonic herbs, the plants that the Earth so brilliantly nurtures back awake to meet the needs of the season.

Burdock root, Dandelion root & Nettle help us move the stagnancy that builds up during Winter, supports our liver and natural detoxification process and lymphatic health, helps us fortify ourselves against seasonal allergies, and much more—all in the spirit of attuning us to the season and year to come. The mild bitter flavor of Burdock and Dandelion support digestion & Burdock is an incredible prebiotic. Orange and Cinnamon are exhilarant herbs which help us to brighten our perspective and lift our spirits. Red Poppy flower essence assists us in finding a balance between focusing on survival and being in touch with spirit. Red Poppy helps us stabilize our fire energy, supporting us in grasping situations accurately so we can choose how to act accordingly.

As with all tonic formulas I make, this is intended to support our whole selves as it brings about balance and vitality overtime.

Comes in a 2 oz. amber glass bottle with dropper top
