Thank you for visiting! My name is Taylor, and I am delighted to share this space with you. As a mother, writer, and photographer, I embrace the rhythms of life on my homestead, where I wear many hats: beekeeper, homeschooler, and caretaker of an array of creatures, both human and animal. My work as a beekeeper is a constant source of inspiration, drawing from the hives, herbs, honey, and the sacred intersection of the ordinary and extraordinary in Creation.
At The Local Wild, I believe the remedies we first reach for should nourish us, not overwhelm us with synthetic additives, artificial dyes, or unnecessary fillers. Unfortunately, many over-the-counter "natural" remedies today include these very things.
Electuaries are a return to simplicity—whole herbs, raw honey, and nothing else. Each jar is a powerful combination of nature’s most nurturing elements, designed to support wellness while honoring the ancient tradition of blending herbs with honey.
Electuaries are more than a remedy; they’re a reconnection to the roots of holistic care. Unlike remedies that isolate specific compounds or rely on synthetics, electuaries embrace the power of whole plants. The herbs and honey work together, creating a potent yet gentle form of medicine that aligns with the rhythms of our bodies.
Electuaries combine the natural preservative power of raw honey with the therapeutic benefits of powdered herbs, creating a connection that enhances their effectiveness. Honey acts as a carrier, allowing the body to better absorb the active compounds in the herbs while also providing enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial properties of its own.
The powdered herbs in electuaries retain their full spectrum of beneficial compounds, ensuring the whole plant works in harmony with your body. This holistic approach not only supports targeted wellness but also aligns with the body’s natural rhythms for optimal healing and nourishment.
Electuaries are a timeless remedy, now backed by modern understanding of the bioavailability and collaboration between honey and herbs. It’s science and tradition, perfectly blended.
My electuaries are crafted with the belief that wellness begins with trust—in the ingredients, the process, Creation itself. Every herb is either organic or responsibly wildcrafted, ensuring the highest quality and potency.
I hope these electuaries become a meaningful part of your story, where the pieces of life weave together into a whole. There is wonder, beauty, and provision here beneath the sun—a glimpse of One far greater.
I'd love to hear from you! Whether you have questions about our electuaries, need help with your order, or simply want to say hello, feel free to get in touch.
