Did you know Yella on the Water (Western Ave) is open on Mondays?? Very convenient for my Margarita Monday celebrations. I asked for any kind of fruit flavored margarita and Ewan suggested strawberry and there you go. A strawberry margarita at a table by the window along the boulevard to celebrate Margarita Monday! The sour mix was delightful and the service excellent. It won’t be our last visit!! Cheers!

MAY 30, 2025 BY ANGEL WINGS WELLNESS

Humans have been using plants as medicine for an estimated 60,000 years. Cannabis specifically has been used for health purposes since 2800 BC. Before the advent of modern pharmaceuticals, the only medicine available was from plants and animals. Many well-known medications were originally derived from plants, such as aspirin from willow bark and quinine from the cinchona tree. Until cannabis was effectively outlawed in 1937, it was widely prescribed by American herbalists and physicians.

Today, we are able to combine millennia of traditional wisdom with cutting-edge research to create potent plant medicine that truly works. Plus, we have the science and technology to guarantee potency, safety and efficacy.

Both then and now, humans and plants have coexisted, each relying on the other in countless ways. Plant medicine works in synergy, with a combined strength that’s greater than any individual part. In cannabis, the plant’s naturally occurring compounds – cannabinoids and terpenes – work better together than separately. This is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect.”

Plants possess many beneficial compounds. And, when carefully formulated with potent and purposeful ingredients, plant medicines deliver focused, targeted support when and where you need it most.

We use plants like lavender, ashwagandha and rhodiola rosea – along with plant-based ingredients like L-theanine and DHA – to complement full-spectrum CBD in formulas that support stress, promote sleep, relieve pain and more.

We believe in the power of plant medicine. We’ve seen the positive impact that CBD – and other botanicals – can have on a person’s quality of life. Made to work. Made for all. That’s our promise and our mission.

We enjoy our rides out to Russell Orchards on Argilla Road in Ipswich and look forward to the spring re-opening. We stopped by recently (closed on Mondays) and took in some of the wide variety of offerings available. Flowers, veggie plants, fresh baked goods, fruits, ciders, wines and more are available within the shop but outside is also full of fun opportunities especially with young children. We love the cider donuts!
