What's in Herbal Box Monthly? You may have seen me post about, it but what's actually in the box you may wonder? My wonderful friend and early HBM member @taylormademdphd is here to show you! 🙌 Many of us want to do something different for our well-being however find it intimidating & time-consuming to start. Maybe we're frustrated with the medical system. Maybe we're simply interested in reclaiming connection with the natural world, which we're apart of as humans on this planet. My aim with HBM is to make it easy to integrate herbs into your life, and routine to increase your herbal knowledge. Yet as physical, emotional and spiritual beings, simply reading about or ingesting herbs is not enough. Thus every box also comes with a guided experience to deepen your connection with self and herbs. There will be meditations, self-love practices, rituals and recipes. The guided experience for September is a 45-minute herbal oiling practice. If you'd like to learn more about HBM click the link. Now is the perfect time to sign up for the October box ❤️ #hbm #herbalallies #herbalism #seasonalherbalism #herbalmedicine #health #wellbeing #wellness #embodiment #selflove #selfcare #herbalcsa #herbalshares #empoweredhealth #womenbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #newbusiness #wellnessandhealth #herbaloiling #herbalproducts

This is my future sister-in-law +fiance's backyard! Wow, right? An entire medicine cabinet for the taking. Actually I like 'life-supporting' better than medicine. When I think of medicine I think of treating illness. These herbs improve body system functions and support healthy living in the now. Well herbs can be used to treat acute illness I like them best integrated into everyday living--one part of a healthy, active, and connected with nature lifestyle. What comes to mind when you hear the word herbs? Do you have any growing in your backyard? Next, I'm heading to my childhood home in NY. This is the first time I've been back since studying herbalism. I'm beyond curious to see what I'll find.

When you make friends with plants, you'll have their companionship everywhere you go.💓 #plantfriends #medicinalplants #plantmedicine #highwayweeds #minnesota #travel #futureinlaws #herbalallies #herbalism #herbalmedicine #plantlove

My goal with Herbal Box Monthly is to share products that help us flow with the seasons, and connect more fully to our deep selves, as well as the plant allies all around us. This tea includes herbs that grow abundantly here in Montana. They support transitions to Fall both physically (immune & nervous system) and emotionally (grounding and stress response). We all put things in our body every day. Why not make them deeply nourishing for both body and soul? Why not integrate what can up-level not only our physical health, but our way of being. ✨🌿 #herbalbox #missoulaevents #herbalism #missoula #montana #herbalboxmonthly #naturalhealing #herbalmedicine #plantmedicine #herbaltea #tisane #gardentea

It's been SO FUN to share about Herbal Box Monthly this last week, and to see the new connections coming about because of it.

Last week I met @eicjewelry for a night of her week + camping trip. It had been years since she had been on the trail. A fire had destroyed the bridge and scorched the trees and vegetation. Finally walking through it, we were awed by the vibrancy of the land. The decaying trees provide a rich source of nutrients for new growth and no longer shade the understory--there is ample sunlight and more access to rain when it falls. It has felt like a lot of what I thought I wanted has gone to dust recently. The career I once imagined for myself, I've found wanting. And yet in the decay of it, I'm finding such sweet seeds. Life is endlessly resourceful. In destruction there is always rebirth. What will you grow out of your most recent fire? 🔥 How will the nutrients of decay feed your next dream? 🌱 #rebirth #camping #fire #herbalist #herbalism #eicjewelry #plantmedicine #gardening #naturecycling #natureismedicine

Yesterday Kevin and I went for a hike in the mountains surrounding Missoula. I had been figuring out the giveaway with @eicjewelry before that and it was supposed to be a move back into a traditionak work-free weekend. Yet moments into the trail, I squealed with delight upon recognizing this friend. That's something I love so much about herbalism. As you begin to know the plans you see them everywhere, even places you've been before and didn't know they existed. Later in the day I stopped by @hayescreekhomestead farm gather some mullien and burdock. While weaving through the brush to reach the burdock, Amberleigh cursed --something had poked her. Oh it's Hawthorn! You have hawthorn here too, I told her. This is why I say medicinal plants are all around us, if only we learn to recognize them. With recognition we can respect their thorns and work with their gifts, as our ancestors always have. 💓 Hawthorn grows across the country, has many varieties, and many benefits, which include lowering LDL cholesterol, supporting digestion, and relaxing tension. Overall, and it's best known as a heart tonic. I have some tincture (an alcohol extraction) infusing as we speak. Tea is another way to play with Hawthorn. You can dry the berries and use them to make tea alone or with other herbs. To got the most benefit, simmer the berries for 20 minutes or steep overnight. Because of its powerful effects, those taking blood pressure medications, should take it under supervision of their MD + herbalist. Curious, have you seen Hawthorn growing? Have you tried it? I'll be including locally harvested Hawthorn in an antioxidant tea blend hitting herbal box monthly later this fall. ✨🎉 #crataegus #hawthorne #hawthorn #herbalmedicine #herbalcsa #herbalshares #treemedicine #herbalism #wellness #hearthealth #plantmedicine #teashare
