I’ve selected my favorite herbal allies and home remedies to make right now to awaken your senses and support your body in this season’s herbal box.

Each box for this season contains a loving mix with the most delightful handmade items (full descriptions listed below).

What’s Inside the Summer Seasonal Herbal Box :

I’m so excited to share an assortment of favorite remedies to support your body, mood and wellbeing this season — featuring some incredible healing herbs like Rose, Lavender, Lemon Balm, St. John’s Wort, Oats, Mugwort and Yarrow. Plus new remedies : Plantain, Hawthorne, Mint, Rose & Hibiscus Tea, Rose Oat Moisturizing Bath Soak and a Restorative Hair Rinse.

The theme for this seasonal box is moisture and radiance (inside and out), and enjoy!

1. I’m thrilled to be sharing one of my most beloved products in this summer box — a Lush Rose Salve made with incredibly fragrant and skin nourishing Rose Geranium, Cacao Butter, Organic Olive Oil, Rose Essential Oil and Beeswax.

I love putting this deeply moisturizing salve on my hands and feet - it smells so luxurious and deeply nourishes the skin.

2. Every time I make Lotion Bars it is a delight, and such a revolutionary herbal product! The first time I experienced one I knew I had to create a formulation I loved and share it with all of you - I always have one in my bag. My garden is joyfully popping with fragrant Lavender right now, and in addition to aiding with stress relief this incredible plant supports us in the summer when we get too much sun, bug bites or have dry skin.

Lotion bars are great to take for on-the-go and travel-friendly moisture for the whole body. It goes on like an oil (but looks like a bar of soap!), and absorbs deeply into the skin. You’ll love it if you haven’t tried this remedy yet. Such a brilliant idea! Say goodbye to your lotion in plastic bottles, and enjoy this lush eco-friendly remedy that your skin will love.

3. Oats are one of the most important herbal allies for nourishment, rashes and dry skin support. And Rose is a famous plant for its ability to tone the skin and help hold in moisture. This Oat Bath Soak with Rose is wonderful and easy to put in a bath, or shower — and let the oats create a gentle layer of moisture on your skin. I use it daily on my face and whole body, and then rinse after with water. You will feel like royalty once your skin gets deeply moisturized by oats and rose.

Oats soaks have been a lifesaver for my dry and rash-prone skin all year, but especially at the seasons when I notice I need deep moisture the most (summer and winter). And you can use it a few times - 3 uses tends to be the sweet spot for me!

4. I’m excited to be offering a NEW Restorative Hair Rinse that features herbs known for their ability to support moisture, cleansing and bring more health to the hair and scalp. This remedy features Marshmallow Root, Wild Nettle, Sage and Calendula Flowers infused into Apple Cider Vinegar.

A few years back I discovered Apple Cider Vinegar as a hair rinse in-between shampooing as a way to more gently cleanse the hair, and bring more radiance, moisture and shine back in. Nettle and Sage brings in strength and cleansing, Marshmallow Root and Calendula Flowers help with moisture and scalp health. This formula is great for all hair types, but especially those with dry or damaged hair.

5 - 6. I’ve created two delicious tea blends for this box - the first is my NEW Happy Heart Tea (Hibiscus, Hawthorne, Plantain, Peppermint and Rose), which has been so uplifting to me this year featuring Hawthorne Flowers and Leaves and Hibiscus Flowers to support heart health (both physically and emotionally), Plantain Leaf (great for digestion and inflammation in the body), Peppermint (also for digestion, mood, and increasing energy) and Rose Petals (for mood, moisture and to bring in sensory delight!). I also LOVE this tea room temp or chilled as it has a cooling effect, and is great for summertime.

And I’m bringing back the lovely Afternoon Delight Tea with Lemon Verbena (full of antioxidants), Calming Lemon Balm (great to unwind, for immunity and stress relief) and more Rose Petals (clearly Rose is an ally I am enjoying this summer - it is so incredible and delicious here!).

I love both of these teas anytime, but in particular they are both wonderful in the afternoon. And both can be enjoyed warm, room temp or cold!

7. One of the most impactful herbs I have ever worked with is Mugwort. Mugwort is an ally for our bodies, hearts and minds like all great herbs. When I harvested a bunch of this plant last year, and began to chop it up to make a remedy, it brought me into a different state of mind and softened tension at the forehead immediately - just by cutting it up! It was a VERY palpable shift, and that is how Mugwort works. This plant is strong, but soft and just right. Mugwort has been revered for thousands of years in many cultures around the world, and you’ll see why!

I brought this queen ally back into a Dreamy Body Oil that I love anytime, but it is especially potent before bed to connect with dreams and before rest practices. For those who have a moon cycle, it is also revered for its use on the low belly for cramps (and you can use it anywhere you want some pain relief - I love it on my shoulder and low back too!).

And Mugwort oil is also supportive in pregnancy and after childbirth to help with healing the skin that has gotten stretched, and aid in recovery.

You can choose a body oil with Mugwort & Soothing Lavender
OR Mugwort & Skin Healing Yarrow (extra potent on wounds!)

8. BONUS : For the first handful of Herbal Box orders, I will also include St. John’s Wort Tincture. This remedy is wonderful for mood support, and is known as the plant of the sun — harvested at the peak of summer.

Notes : If you are on an SSRI (anti depressant), this remedy is NOT going to be one of for you as it will actually cause your medication not to work as well. That is how strong St. John’s Wort is - incredible! Please let me know, and I’d be happy to substitute with a nice herbal tea blend.

9. Every Seasonal Herbal box includes a bottle of the beloved Full Moon Infused Rose Face or Body Mist .

This mist is rejuvenating, toning + cooling. Everyone loves this spray and I’m excited to continue offering it. Spray some on your face after cleansing for a toning effect, after makeup to add brightness or when you want to clear the air/space or bring moisture to your skin! I use it everyday.

+++ Optional Add On #1 : Due to popular demand, you will now be able to add on my Delightful Facial Rose Hip Seed Cream to every box at checkout if you wish! I am VERY proud of this wonderful cream that is simply divine, lush and wonderful for your skin (recommended as a healing and soothing night cream).

And you can now order JUST the Delightful Facial Rose Hip Seed Cream on My Apothecary page as well.

Refrigerate and make this gem into a cold cream. It will not clog pores as it is made from high grade rosehip seed oil, vitamin e oil and my handmade full moon rose water. Your skin will LOVE it! Mine sure does…

+++ Optional Add On #2 : Getting better sleep is so important, and since I’ve discovered the incredible effects of working with herbs like Lemon Balm, Hops and California Poppy in a tincture format before bed - I’m delighted to share them with all of you! And now you can add this remedy (when I have it in stock) to every box.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found getting a good night’s sleep has been more challenging. This remedy is one of the key steps I take to help me fall asleep and stay asleep more easily. And it is great for stress, immunity, headaches and muscle tension - extra bonuses!

It is my intention help you connect with these beautiful herbs, plants and flowers as potent allies for our wellness and thriving.

All of these items are handmade by me, grown in my garden, ethically wildcrafted or sourced organically and locally as much as possible and joyfully created.
Batches are very small, and infused with a lot of care and often take many moon cycles to create.

I craft each seasonal herbal box at each turn of the wheel of the year to support you throughout the whole year and your life. I lovingly share the plants, resins and formulas that are coming through most strongly at the time they are made.

It is my dream to help us all deepen in our connection with these wonderful plant and herbal allies whether you are new to it, falling in love with plants all over again, or deeply steeped in the green realm. I encourage you to “commune with” each creation in the box - and feel into the essence of the plant and remedy itself.

Rather than “using” these herbal products I encourage you to connect with what they can teach you at this moment in time. There is always more to learn from our green allies. I can’t wait to hear about your experience!

LOVE FOR THE SEASONAL HERBAL BOX :

“The rose dream face cream is my favorite nightly face care ritual. Applying it chilled is especially refreshing and I wake up the next morning with my skin feeling so soft, moisturized and nourished.”
—Katie

“I received my herbal box and I’m loving every single product. They are so beautifully crafted and I can just feel the Love that you have put into your work.

The teas are refreshing (wish I had more), the body bar is so hydrating, the facial mist and calendula cream are calming and luxurious, and the lavender rose oil makes my skin glow and I feel wrapped with Love. Oh and my tummy loves the mugwort bitters.”
— Brigitte

“I absolutely love my seasonal herbal box and use something from it daily! Each product is made with such care and kindness and provides a treat for the senses. Thoughtful touches from the little description cards for each item down to the packaging make this box of healing truly special. I cannot wait for next season!”
— Colleen P.

“You can feel the reverence in Crystal’s products. I love spritzing my face with the rose mist upon waking before applying my face oil; it is also beneficial if you live in a drier climate to spritz throughout the day. And the healing salve I use on chapped lips and has worked wonders on my partner's super cracking and rough hands. If your looking for quality, beauty, and supportive products made by caring hands, look no further!”
— Chanti Tacoronti-Perez

“It is so luxurious to have all of these remedies.”
— Alison T.
