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.

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 Was Inside the Fall Seasonal Herbal Box :
I’m so excited to share new remedies (lotion! tea! shrub! home mist!), and the return of some favorites for this Fall Herbal Box.
1. I’m thrilled to release my first lotion. I learned this recipe for a “Perfect Healing Lotion” 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 home-grown Organic Calendula (famous for bringing more radiance, moisture and healing to the skin) infused into Apricot Kernal Oil, plus Aloe, Vitamin E Oil, the Full Moon Rose Water and LOVE! Place it anywhere you like, and enjoy.
2. I’m so excited to share local Immune-Boosting Elderberry Syrup made with Cinnamon, Rose Hips, and Raw Local Honey.
This is a super yummy syrup you can take (by the spoonful) when you are feeling a bit sick, or if you have allergies. This remedy is great at the first signs of sickness, and you can take it multiple times a day when you are feeling off. A nice remedy for coughs, colds, the flu, etc.
3. Because Elderberry is in peak season, I also made an Elderberry Tincture with a bit of Cinnamon and some Raw Honey too!
This tincture will last for a long time, and take a dropper full at the first sign of a sickness or allergies - just like the syrup, but enjoy this remedy in water as it is potent.
4. I’m excited to offer the delicious and tummy and digestive supporting Peach Oxymel again this fall!
I call this remedy “Summertime in a bottle.” An herbal oxymel is a digestive remedy infused with fresh peaches in apple cider vinegar to soothe digestion, and bring in more overall hydration. A delightful treat to bring in the sunshine, and tummy support anytime you need it!
5. I’m offering my first Herbal Shrub in this Fall herbal box featuring Nervous System Supportive Tulsi with Hydrating Hibiscus plus Apple Cider Vinegar and Raw Honey.
Shrubs are really yummy herbal remedies that you can use to make a mocktail - I love adding a shot to sparkling water, and this treat brings in the calming and nourishing support of Tulsi and Hibiscus. Impress your friends, or yourself, with this delicious Shrub!
6. I’m so blessed to have Lavender in abundance in my garden, and it was fun to make a Home and Body mist with Fresh Lavender, plus Clary Sage and Sandalwood Essential Oils.
This is a great blend to spritz in your home when you need a reset or clearing, or on yourself for the same reason.
7 - 8. I’ve created two tea blends for this box - Tummy Relief for when you want a bit of soothing digestive (or pre-bedtime) support. And a Grounding Roots blend that has a deep taste (some say it is coffee-like), is very nourishing and helps with blood sugar regulation — plus it tastes great!
Notes : You can drink these teas anytime, but the Tummy Relief tea is very relaxing and is great after meals (and to support relaxation in the evening). This tea features Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Peppermint and Licorice.
And the Grounding Roots blend is great in the morning or anytime you want an earthy brew to pair with dessert. This tea features Dandelion, Burdock, Cinnamon, Chicory, Ginger, Astralagus and Rose Hips.
9. I’m thrilled to be including an Epsom Salt Herbal Bath blend and relaxing ritual (with Organic Pink Rose Petals, plus locally harvested Lavender, and Baking Soda for alkalizing and healing the skin).
Notes : This blend is oh so relaxing. Great when you want to feel extra supported! Your senses will be in for a treat, and I’ll include my tips for turning a bath into a powerful ritual.
10. As a BONUS for the first few orders, I will offer one of my new smudge / burn bundle with Local Lavender plus Dreamy and Mystical Mugwort that I harvested this Spring!
Notes : Burn with care as both the lavender and mugwort were so fresh when I dried them that it will light very easily. It is recommended to use outdoors, or have an ashtray or fireplace nearby to extinguish easily if you light it in your home. A little goes a long way! Enjoy! This is a great thing to burn before bed too - connecting with relaxing and dreams.
11. And I’m continuing to include the Full Moon Infused Rose Face or Body Mist in every Seasonal Herbal Box.
This mist is rejuvenating, toning + cooling. Everyone loves this spray and I’m excited to continue offering it.
+++ Optional Add On : Due to popular demand from the last several herbal boxes, you will be able to add on my Delightful Facial Rose Hip Seed Cream to this 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).
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.
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!
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.

The Seasonal Herbal Box
Each lovingly crafted box comes with a combination of 6 - 10 items.
Supply is VERY limited as everything is grown or ethically sourced, handcrafted by me and takes time and attention to infuse. This is SLOW herbalism at the pace of the earth.

+++ MORE Love for The Seasonal Herbal Box :
“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."
- Caroline
”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.
