It was the time of King Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. And during this era of high adventure and romance, knights would seek out adventure, hoping to test skills, mettle and prowess as warriors.

A knight would also try to win the love of lady or damsel, either by rescuing her from adversary or demonstrating his skills in jousting tournaments. Courtly manner was considered to be almost as important with the ladies, as well as the knight's use of the sword and lance.

In these months of March and April where all major festivities have passed

and where most people begin to pick up the tempo at work, it is even more important that you take moments of "escapade" to rest, reflect and energize. We at Danai have chosen a faraway place – a different culture and tradition to inspire your healing nature.

Let me invite you to take an escapade into these Celtic stories of great romance and courage; to leave your modern life for a while and let our Celtic treatments of tinctures, elixirs, poultices and salves soothe your frazzled soul. And as how the Celts will say "Slainte Chugat", here's good health to you!
