This is a project of love.

The seasonal herbal box was created out of my passion for sharing the power of handmade herbal remedies with friends and loved ones. And a desire to share those gifts with all of you.

May we all awaken to our relationship
with the healing power of plants again.

And find solace, comfort and joy in the simplest acts : anointing our bodies with delightful handmade herbal oils, putting
salve on our sore shoulders or achy joints and muscles,
savoring the tranquility found in
a cup of tea, boosting your immunity, and learning more about how herbs can become a powerful part of your home apothecary or “medicine kit.”

May we all feel renewed
and become enlivened again
in the magic of it all.

The Summer Magic
Seasonal Herbal Box
IS HERE!

+++ Order yours and more options or gift this season!

NOTE : When the box is sold out, get on my email list to be notified when the next box is available.

. . .

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 honor the vitality of the season and nourish your skin, soothe the nerves, awaken the senses and bring some much needed delight — featuring some incredible healing herbs like Lavender, Mugwort, Calendula, Hibiscus, Rose, Yarrow, Lemon Balm, Milky Oats, Dandelion, Cacao and more!

The theme for this seasonal box is grounded vitality!

+++ There will be 2 Herbal Box options to choose from including a new culinary creations box! Plus a Tea Box.

1. I’m excited to be returning with one of my beloved products this summer - Dreamy Mugwort & Lavender Body + Annointing Oil!
Two of the most impactful herbs I have ever worked with are Mugwort and Lavender.

* Mugwort is a powerful and wise ally to calm tension, soothe the mind and open our perception. This plant has a distinctive scent that works on us immediately, and it has been revered for thousands of years in nearly every culture worldwide! Mugwort to me feels like a crone plant, or a wise elder helping us to open and receive whether it is dreams, rest, or a message from within.

* Lavender is simply one of the most fragrant, delightful and beloved herbal delights across the globe, and has been for known as a very special annointing oil for thousands of years. This great herbal ally combines beauty and strength - relaxing us, but also aiding in wound care, skin support and helping us to unwind and remember how to receive joy and pleasure. 


I brought these two queen allies back together into one of my most popular products. This oil 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.

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

2. When I think of summer, I think of Calendula! This year I made a Skin-Loving Calendula Lotion Bar that combines local sunny skin-healing calendula flowers in a nourishing apricot kernel oil with shea and cacao butter plus beeswax.

This blend is so nourishing and healing for the skin. Calendula is famous for bringing more radiance, moisture and healing to the tissues, and when it is made into a lotion bar you have a bit of herbal magic on-the-go (great for travel!).


3. I’m all about bitters, one of the most ancient remedies that is still in use even in popular culture today (through many cocktails and mocktails!). Bitters support the digestive process and can be great allies for blood sugar management too, plus they taste great! For this box I made one highly nutritive and fun Bitters with Dandelion Root, Cacao, Orange Peel and Local Raw Honey.

NOTE: If you do not consume alcohol, I can send an extra tea instead as this bitters is made with gluten free vodka. Just send me an email after you checkout.

I love a few droppers of bitters in sparkling water with or before meals, and bitters have added immunity support too!

4. In the world of Kitchen Herbalism, I’m excited to be offering a new Herbs de Provence Herbal Salt Blend in this box - a great way to add a flavor and nutritional boost to your cooking (even if you “don’t cook” that much)! Made with mineral rich and flavorful Himalayan Pink Salt, French Grey Salt, plus Thyme, Oregano, Basil, Savory, and a pinch of Lavender.

I love using this salt in marinades, sprinkling it on veggies, adding to rice, eggs, and if you eat meat of any kind (or tofu) it is also delicious and will bring a nice flavor to many dishes!



5. I’m thrilled to be offering one of my most popular products again. I learned this recipe for a “Perfect Healing Lotion” with Wild and Local Yarrow from a great herbalist - Rosemary Gladstar, and have put my own touches on it!

This lotion is both rich, and also absorbs quickly for a lightweight feel on the skin. Made with wildcrafted and local Yarrow (famous for healing to the skin) infused into Olive Oil, plus Aloe, Vitamin E Oil, the Full Moon Rose Water and LOVE! Place it anywhere you like, and enjoy. Your hands will love it!

6. I’m excited to share a new remedy - a Breast & Body Balm made with Four Flowers - Rose, Hibiscus, Lavender and Red Clover infused into Olive Oil with Coconut Oil plus Shea Butter and Beeswax to help break up tension, and support the tissues of the chest (and anywhere you want more blood flow and movement of lymph)

You can rub this balm on the chest after a shower or bath, or when desired. It can also be used anywhere you want an increase of attention and sensuality. For those with a monthly cycle it is recommended to use this balm on day 7 especially.


7-8. I made two delicious herbal teas for the summer boxes - both are great anytime, and are delicious hot or cold!

For the first tea I brought back a popular one - Afternoon Delightful Tea with Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena and Rose from a past herbal box, and added in dried apple pieces for flavor and tartness.

This tea is delicious, calming to stress and tension (and helps with moisture) and also turns a fun pink color!

The second tea is the return of one of my favorites for the summertime featuring Enlivening Hibiscus, Gut-Soothing Plantain Leaves and Heart Healing Hawthorn

This tea is tart and delicious, and is filled with lots of antioxidants for immunity and heart health. Plus herbs that support soothing tissues and keeping in moisture inside and out! Delightfully refreshing.

9. I’m obsessed with facial steaming - combining herbs with hot water is a surprisingly simple remedy with big results for the skin, lungs and overall mood when you breathe it in.
This Herbal Facial Steam combines Rose with Calendula Flowers, Yarrow, Lavender and Sage.

This is my go-to remedy to improve my skin’s glow, clarity and balance. It is also great to do if you are feeling sick or simply dry from the season. It is very relaxing to do before bed as well and brings you into a peaceful state.


10. I love making lip balm, and I’m excited to announce this new product featuring Lemon Balm (famous for its support of viruses like herpes/cold sores) infused into Olive Oil with Cacao Butter, Vitamin E Oil and Beeswax.

You will love this lip balm - great for everyone for everyday use, and especially potent if you suffer from cold sores.

11. Every Seasonal Herbal box includes a bottle of the beloved Full Moon Infused Rose Face & 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.

12. BONUS : I’ve been working on a tea remedy for headaches, migraines, tension and the busy mind that struggles to relax. The first handful of orders will get a package of this NEW tea blend made with Chamomile, Skullcap, Passionflower, Feverfew and Oat Tops. And I will likely put this into future herbal box creations, but for now the quantity is very limited!

You would brew this like a traditional warm infusion tea (place herbs into strainer covered with hot water and let steep for 20 minutes, strain and enjoy!). Add honey if desired to taste.



+++ Optional Add On #1 : This is one of my favorite products! Add a bottle of my Lavender Home & Body Mist with Clary Sage and Sandalwood - a favorite for the face, body and in your home.

I love this as a mid-afternoon uplift on hot days, and also on my sheets and pillow before bed. So soothing.



+++ Optional Add On #2 : Due to popular demand, you are 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 if you need more anytime.

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…

My Apothecary.

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!

These products are so beautiful. I immediately slathered myself with all of the skin ones and I can’t wait to try the tincture and the tea."

”The magic that Crystal creates along with the magic that the plants offer is incredible. Her buttery soft salves have comforted me during my moon cycle and
eased the discomfort of the cramps and headaches that come along for the ride.
Her rose moon water smells dreamy and if you close your eyes you feel as though you're in a field of roses.
Her dedication to herbalism, working with the cycles of the moon, and the respect she holds for the plants when working with them is evident in every offering she creates.
Her work is clearly a labor of love. You can literally smell and feel the love when you use her products.

I consider myself so lucky to be able to nurture myself every day with all the magic she creates. Thank you Crystal for everything you do!! My body thanks you!”

- Sharon

something that you can't put a price tag on!"
