Dreaded Hippie

🌿 Running low on soap… or just smelling a little too “earthy”? 😏

I’m set up today at Gang Gang Farmers Market from 1pm–5pm ✌️

Come down, have a sniff, grab a few bars, and treat your skin to the good stuff 🌱🧼
Small batch, all natural, and made with love (and a little bit of hippie magic 😉)

Pop by and say hi — your shower (and your friends 😆) will thank you!

I’ve been trialing an eco-friendly solid dish soap, i’ve gotta say I’m pretty impressed with it so far I have yet to find something It won’t clean and I’m using it all over the house not just the dishes, I even used it to clean my oven, It couldn’t impress me any more than cleaning my oven 😁 so watch this space I will be making some to sell at the market very very soon and I’m hoping you’ll love it as much as I do. 

Fermented garlic honey is a traditional natural remedy made by submerging raw garlic cloves in raw honey and letting it ferment for a month. During fermentation, enzymes, beneficial microbes, and compounds from the garlic and honey combine to create a powerful immune-supporting tonic.

Here are the main benefits for the body:

1. Boosts the Immune System.
Garlic contains allicin, a compound with strong antimicrobial and immune-stimulating effects. Raw honey adds antioxidants and natural antibacterial properties.

Together they help the body fight viruses, bacteria, and seasonal illnesses.

Many people take a spoonful daily during cold and flu season.

2. Natural Antibacterial & Antiviral.
Both garlic and honey are naturally antimicrobial. The fermentation process enhances this.

It may help the body fight:
• colds
• sore throats
• sinus infections
• mild bacterial infections

3. Supports Gut Health.
Fermentation introduces beneficial microbes and enzymes.

This can:
• support digestion
• help balance gut bacteria
• improve nutrient absorption

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects.
Garlic contains sulfur compounds that reduce inflammation in the body.

This may help with:
• joint pain
• inflammatory conditions
• general immune stress

5. Heart Health Support.
Garlic is well known for helping:
• lower blood pressure
• reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
• improve circulation

6. Antioxidant Protection.
Both ingredients are rich in antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress and aging.

7. Respiratory Support.
Many people use it to help with:
• coughs
• mucus congestion
• chest infections

Garlic helps loosen mucus while honey soothes the throat.

8. Natural Energy & Recovery.
Because honey contains natural sugars and enzymes, it provides gentle energy while garlic supports immune recovery.

Common way to take it
• 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per day

Some people take extra when feeling a cold coming on.

I wish I can say I follow my own advice and take it daily but I’m a bit naughty that way, I generally don’t take it until I feel the cold coming on but I’ve made these for a few people now including my elderly parents who now take it religiously every day and feel the benefits of it.

I’ve got mr Mally hanging out in the workshop today 😍
