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 Fall Magic
Seasonal Herbal Box
IS HERE!
NOTE : When this 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 Fall 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 that captured the magic of this year’s harvest (Elderberry, St. John’s Wort, Rose, Calendula, Chamomile, Yarrow, Sage and Lavender). Plus new remedies : Hibiscus, Rose, Tulsi and Lavender Tea, Immunity Boosting Garden Tonic, Hibiscus, Rose, Tulsi and Lavender Tea and a new Herbal Ritual Bath Salt blend
The theme for this seasonal box is resilience and healing!
1. I’m thrilled to be offer a NEW product that I’ve been dreaming of making for YEARS in this herbal box — a Healing Body Oil made with fresh St. John’s Wort Flowers and Leaves.
St. John’s Wort is simply one of the most effective herbal remedies for pain relief, nerve repair and general tension and stress. Plus this oil also boosts mood. In an oil (topical - on the body) format, this remedy is safe for anyone (unlike the contraindications of St. John’s Wort for some when taken internally). This oil has a deep red color from the combo of leaves and flowers, and shines like the sun - holding the magic of summertime for us year-round.
2. I love making herbal salves! These remedies are great for on the go, and quick moisture (especially on hands and dry skin). In this box for fall I combined Skin-Healing Calendula with Calming Lavender for a lovely fragrant and delightful moisturizer on the go. I know you’ll love it.
This salve is made with beeswax, and is great anywhere you desire deep moisture!
I always have one in my bag.
3. Herbal bitters are an important daily remedy for digestion support and blood sugar regulation that so many of us haven’t been in the habit of taking. I made one of my favorite bitters remedies for you all with fresh Chamomile flowers that I grew for the first time this year in my garden, plus Dandelion Root Fennel and Licorice - incredible herbs for digestion.
I enjoy 1-2 droppers full of this remedy in sparkling water before or with my meal! Also if you get a tummy ache or indigestion, it would be a good remedy to reach for - taken under the tongue with water.
NOTE : There is a vinegar option for this remedy if desired (if you avoid alcohol, even in small quantities).
Please just let me know if you prefer the vinegar at checkout.
4. The Herbal Bath Ritual : Taking an epsom salt baths is one of my regular rituals to de-stress, unwind and take good care of any soreness or tension in the body (and mind!). In this remedy I combined soothing epsom salts with Healing Yarrow and Comfrey Leaf with Calming Lavender.
This herbal bath blend is great anytime, and these three herbs are great for the skin and provide support as well if you are feeling under the weather. Also supports a good night’s sleep.
5 - 7. I’ve created three delicious tea blends for this box - the first is my NEW Herbal Flowers Forever blend with Hibiscus, Rose, Tulsi and Lavender.
Tulsi is the queen herb to support stress relief, reduce inflammation and bring more radiance. Hibiscus Flowers support heart health (both physically and emotionally) and bring joy, Rose is a delight for the senses and helps to keep moisture in, and Lavender brings gentleness and a touch of sweetness with just a pinch in every cup.
And I’m bringing back the lovely Happy Tummy Tea with four herbs that support digestion - Chamomile from my garden, Calming Lemon Balm (great to unwind, for immunity and stress relief), plus Peppermint (great for digestion and to feel an uplift without caffeine), and Lavender (clearly a star for many reasons - and great for calming inside and out).
I’m also delighted to offer Womb Tea - a popular blend with Uterine Toning Raspberry Leaf, Nutritive Wild Nettle, Soothing Oatstraw and Lush Rose for pregnant and postpartum folks, and anyone with a womb (in any phase of life). This tea is great at supporting and nourishing our wombs, and is particularly supportive before a monthly cycle - and also aids in some common discomforts of pregnancy, as well as increasing essential minerals and vitamins when your body is healing postpartum.
Note if you would like another tea (if you do not have a womb), please send me a message after checkout.
I love all of these teas - they are regulars in my herbal tea rotation, and are all good warm, lukewarm or cold.
8. During fall its so helpful to boost your immunity naturally as we need it when the seasons shift. And I’ve made a beautiful looking (and yummy tasting) Garden Tonic with Apple Cider Vinegar, Fresh Elderberries, Calendula, Lavender, Sage, Rosemary, Oregano, and Thyme plus local Raw Honey. These herbs are known to boost immunity, support digestion and support you as a preventative tonic to take during times of seasonal shift, and also when you are starting to feel sick.
You can enjoy this tonic one spoonful at a time first thing in the morning as an everyday remedy, or with every meal if you feel sick. I also love it mixed with olive oil as a yummy salad dressing, or dipped with bread. Enjoy, and get creative!
9. BONUS : For the first several orders, I offering a delicious Elderberry Syrup made with Rosehips, Echinacea, Fresh Ginger, Cinnamon and Raw Local Honey.
Elderberry syrup has become one of the most popular remedies for colds, flus and coughs for good reason - in addition to what herbalists have known for a VERY long time, modern scientific research is showing that these plants are incredible at increasing our body’s ability to fight off these seasonal bugs if taken at the onset or beginning of symptoms. Echinacea is also one of the most widely studied herbs in the modern world, and has been shown to be very supportive for immunity. Don’t be shy, and take several spoonfuls thorough the day if you are feeling off, or one daily as preventative medicine if others around you are sick.
10. 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 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…
+++ Optional Add On #2 : Dreamy Mugwort & Lavender Body Oil!
Two of the most impactful herbs I have ever worked with are Mugwort and Lavender. Mugwort is an ally for our bodies, hearts and minds like all great herbs. When I harvested a bunch of this plant, 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! Mugwort to me feels like a crone plant, or a wise elder helping us to soften and receive whether it is dreams, rest, or opening our perception.
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 — 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!).
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.
NOTE : Every Seasonal Herbal Box Sells Out!
These make great gifts, and please message me if you’d like to add a special note to your order.

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!

”I'm obsessed with all the nourishing goodness each seasonal herbal box provides! The hand salves and healing creams are particularly wonderful, even in travel to drier climates my hands have stayed supple and moisturized. I’m grateful for all of the beautiful handcrafted offerings. I always look forward to receiving, enjoying, and sharing the goodies with each new season. Highly recommended!” — Estee

—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.

“You can feel the reverence in Crystal’s products.

If your looking for quality, beauty, and supportive products made by caring hands, look no further!”

— Alison T.

“I just got your amazing, delightful, delicious herbal box and I am in love!
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
”Crystal's full moon rose water toner is a dream! I've been using it regularly and find it to be a refreshing way to wake up my skin in the morning
and love the apple cider and rose scent. What also feels extra special to me is to know it is all locally harvested and crafted with so much love and intention
something that you can't put a price tag on!"
-AS
”I just tried the calendula body butter and rose water spray this week and *love it*!! These things bring a spritz of joy into my day."
-Michelle
“I really like how the rose clay mask feels on my face, and how my face feels afterwards.
The healing hands salve is the perfect consistency and I have no idea how you got it that way - is also smells great.”
- Alison
The Seasonal Herbal Box was created by Crystal Marie Higgins - a lineaged Initiated High Priestess in Celtic traditions, an Initiated Witch, as well as a Yoga Teacher, an Herbalist and an Ethical Marketer. She has been in devotion to earth wisdom, the cycles of the moon and the seasons since 2012. She loves to create, to cook and share that magic with others!
Crystal’s intention is to awaken our consciousness toward the radical practice of attuning your life and the flows of your creativity to the seasons of the year, the cycles of the moon and the wisdom found in the everyday. She is a lover of the plant realm, being outdoors and engaging in sacred rituals.
The Seasonal Herbal Box started off as an idea, and a project of love to share the healing power of connecting with the green realm with others. Every box is infused with sacred intention, and ritual suggestions to help you explore, have fun and feel supported.
