💙 A Quick Business Update 💙

Life has taken me to Arizona for a little while as I help care for my dad during this season. Family has needed my full attention, so I’ve been a bit quieter than usual.

At this point, I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be back in Alabama, but I wanted to let everyone know that BluButterfly Botanicals is still here for you!

✨ Online orders are continuing to ship.
✨ Local pickup orders are still available thanks to my amazing husband, who has stepped in to help keep things running while I’m away.

Please note that because I’m away from my apothecary, some products may be temporarily unavailable. I truly appreciate your understanding as we do our best to keep everything running smoothly.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your continued support of our small family business. Your encouragement means more than you know and has allowed me the opportunity to be where I’m needed most right now.

I look forward to being back with you all as soon as I can.

With gratitude,

Rachael 🦋

🍄 Not all mushroom extracts are created equal... and this past month I got to see exactly why.
I recently visited Totally Mushrooms in Nashville to get a firsthand look at where many of the mushrooms used in my products are grown and extracted.
What impressed me most?
🇺🇸 American-grown mushrooms
🇺🇸 American extraction
🔬 State-of-the-art ultrasonic processing technology
This advanced extraction method uses sound waves to help break down mushroom cell walls and create exceptionally fine particles, supporting greater extraction efficiency and improved bioavailability.
From beautiful Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Reishi, Turkey Tail and Oyster mushrooms, I was able to see the entire process—from cultivation to extraction—all under one roof.
Knowing where my ingredients come from matters. Seeing the care, innovation, and quality behind these mushrooms only strengthened my confidence in bringing them to BluButterfly Botanicals.
🍄 Quality matters.
🦋 Transparency matters.
🌱 Knowing your source matters.

💙 Quick Update for June 💙

I’ll be available this week for consultations, apothecary visits, and product purchases. You can also find me at the Athens Farmers Market on Green Street this Saturday from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM.

From June 7th through June 23rd, I’ll be taking some time away to fill my grandma heart and arms with precious family moments. 🥰

During that time, shipping orders will be paused. However, local pickup orders will still be available thanks to my amazing husband, who has volunteered to help keep things running while I’m away.

If you need anything before June 7th, now is a great time to stop by, schedule a consultation, or place an order.

Thank you all for your continued support of BluButterfly Botanicals. I appreciate each and every one of you and look forward to seeing you this week!

🍄✨ WHAT THE HECK ARE FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOMS… AND WHY SHOULD YOU EVEN CARE? ✨🍄

First things first…

Functional mushrooms are NOT psychedelic mushrooms. 😅

No hallucinations.
No “trips.”
No seeing purple dragons in your living room.

Functional mushrooms are non-psychoactive medicinal mushrooms that have been used for thousands of years in herbal traditions like Traditional Chinese Medicine to support overall wellness and resilience within the body.

Think of them more like nutritional and herbal support for your body systems.

These mushrooms are studied for supporting things like:

🧠 Brain function & focus
⚡ Energy & stamina
😌 Stress response & nervous system balance
🛡️ Immune health
🌿 Gut health
💤 Sleep & recovery

Some of the most well-known functional mushrooms include:

🍄 Lion's Mane — often used for focus, memory, and cognitive support

🍄 Reishi — traditionally used to support relaxation, immune balance, and stress resilience

🍄 Cordyceps — known for supporting energy, endurance, and recovery

🍄 Turkey Tail — widely researched for immune and gut support

🍄 Golden Oyster Mushroom — being explored for antioxidant, metabolic, gut, and nervous system support while also containing naturally occurring compounds that may help support longevity and vitality.

At BluButterfly Botanicals, we use functional mushrooms alongside herbs and adaptogens to help support the body naturally while also educating people on WHY these plants and mushrooms matter.

And honestly…
the science behind these mushrooms is fascinating. 🍄👀

We’re also incredibly excited to begin introducing our new functional mushroom gummy line — including Golden Oyster Mushroom gummies — making these mushrooms even more approachable and convenient for everyday wellness support.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing:
✨ mushroom facts
✨ extraction methods
✨ myths vs facts
✨ how they support the body
✨ and how we use them in our formulations

So tell me…
Have you ever tried functional mushrooms before? 👇

BluButterfly Botanicals by BluBailes Farms 🌿🦋

What started as a passion for herbalism, functional mushrooms, and natural wellness has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

After months of building, planting, creating, learning, extracting, formulating, and pouring love into every detail… I’m so excited to finally welcome you into the heart of BluButterfly Botanicals.

This space was created to be more than an apothecary.
It’s a place to learn.
To heal.
To reconnect.
To feel supported naturally.

At BluButterfly Botanicals, we focus on supporting the body’s natural ability to restore balance through thoughtfully crafted herbal and mushroom formulations rooted in both traditional wisdom and modern research.

My journey into herbalism has included mentorship, hands-on formulation experience, a Bachelor of Science degree, and completing herbal medicine training through American College of Healthcare Sciences, earning a Graduate Certificate in Herbal Medicine.

One of the most meaningful parts of this journey has been creating my medicinal garden — a space designed to give others an up-close and personal introduction to many of the herbs and plants we use in our formulations.

My hope is not only to share these plants and their traditional uses, but to inspire others to reconnect with nature, learn about medicinal herbs, and begin growing healing gardens of their own.

We specialize in:
🌿 Functional mushroom extracts
🌿 Herbal tinctures
🌿 Adaptogen & adrenal support
🌿 Nervous system support
🌿 Gut & digestive wellness
🌿 Detox & foundational wellness support
🌿 Mood, sleep, inflammation & immune support
🌿 Custom tea blends
🌿 Educational wellness guidance

One of the biggest evolutions for us has been partnering with Totally Mushrooms for our mushroom extracts. Their state-of-the-art ultrasound extraction technology creates highly bioavailable nanoparticulate mushroom extracts designed for exceptional absorption and utilization within the body.

We are also incredibly excited to begin expanding into a new gummy line featuring:
🍄 Lion’s Mane
🍄 Cordyceps
🍄 Golden Oyster

…with many more to come as this vision continues to grow.

Over the coming weeks and months, I’ll be sharing more educational content introducing our formulas, ingredients, medicinal herbs, functional mushrooms, and the “why” behind what we create — helping people better understand how natural wellness tools may support the body in restoring balance and resilience.

Every formula we create is intentionally crafted with synergy, therapeutic value, and long-term wellness in mind — always honoring the philosophy of:
✨ Educate
✨ Empower
✨ Evolve

Whether you’re just beginning your wellness journey or have been walking this path for years, you are welcome here.

Appointments are preferred so we can truly spend intentional time with each person, but all are welcome anytime.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this dream, trusted my formulations, shared your stories, and grown alongside me. This is only the beginning. 🦋
