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 Spring Magic
Seasonal Herbal Box
IS Coming Soon!
+++ 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 Spring Seasonal Herbal Box :
I’m so excited to share an assortment of favorite remedies to support your digestion, immunity and vitality this season — featuring some incredible healing herbs (and tree medicine) like Redwood, Pine, Yarrow, Nettle, Mint, Milky Oats, Elderberry, Rosemary, Rose and more!
The theme for this seasonal box is grounded vitality!
+++ There will be 2 Herbal Box options to choose from including a new herbal teas only box!
1. I’ve been swooning over the magic of the Redwood trees this season, and seeing the bright green tips emerge this season has been a pure delight. Pine trees are such incredible healers, and provide a lot of protective and clearing magic. I’ve infused Redwood leaves and Pine needles into olive oil for a grounding, and relaxing oil that is great anytime you want a bit of the forest magic with you.
I love using this oil in ritual, and also applying to my body when I am just out of the shower as a supportive moisturizer that nourishes my skin and nerves.
2 -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 not just one, but two bitters! One with Elecampane, Orange and Vanilla infused into vodka, and another with Burdock, Dandelion and Cinnamon infused into Apple Cider Vinegar.
NOTE: At checkout you can choose which one you want, or for a little extra you can get them both :).
I love these in sparkling water with or before meals, and they also have added immunity support too!
4. In the world of Kitchen Herbalism, I’m excited to be offering a new 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 Himalayan Pink Salt, plus iron-packed Nettle, Rosemary, Turmeric, Citrus Peel, Peppercorns and Spearmint.
I love sprinkling this salt on veggies, adding to soups and stews, rice, eggs, and if you eat meat of any kind (or tofu) it is also delicious and will bring a nice flavor to anything!
5. Last month it was so fun to make an infused raw local honey with all of you, and I’m excited to share this season’s honey tea - made with Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger and Nutmeg! Just a spoonful added to a bit of hot water and your milk of choice is a great way to make an instant - plus delicious and relaxing chai-like tea!
I’m always in search of a great chai, and it is hard to find one that does not have caffeine that you can enjoy anytime. This honey blend makes it easy, and enjoy!
6. In my herbal medicine making classes folks have come to really love the Elderberry Herbal Chai we made together! This is such a yummy blend, and instead of infusing this one into honey you will get the herbs to gently boil and make a delicious and nourishing cup. Plus Elderberry is GREAT for immunity, and also seasonal allergies.
I love making a batch of this yummy chai, and keeping it for multiple cups of tea through the week. Just refrigerate what you don’t enjoy right away and re-heat or enjoy cold.
7. As we move into the light half of the year it is great to have a healing salve handy in case you get any cuts/scrapes or just to support dry skin! I’m bringing back a favorite lush salve made with Local Wild Yarrow, Pine Resin and Olive Oil.
I keep this in my bag, or medicine cabinet and reach for it often. You will love the texture, and Yarrow plus Pine Resin are famous skin and wound healing support remedies.
8 - 9. In addition to the herbal chai blends, I’m including two extra teas that bring a lot of vitamins, minerals, iron and calming support for the nervous system. Both of these teas can be enjoyed anytime, and are supportive of the transition to spring.
The first tea is made with a blend of Milky Oats, Tulsi (Holy Basil), Rose and a pinch of Lavender. Oh so nourishing for the nerves, and great anytime (but I love this tea mid-afternoon for a relaxing uplift).
The second tea is a blend of Nettle, Oatstraw, Horsetail and Mint. This one is best infused overnight (I like doing this in a thermos so it is hot in the morning, but you can also drink it room temp or cold). These herbs are so nourishing, and contain a lot of vitamins and minerals plus iron.
10. 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 : For the first several orders, I’ll add in 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 #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 - Fire Cider - I love this remedy, and you can take it daily as an immunity tonic (or several times a day if you are feeling sick). This remedy combines Apple Cider Vinegar with Raw Honey, Onions, Garlic, Ginger, Turmeric, Horseradish, Lemon, Rosemary, Sage, Oregano, Thyme and Black Pepper.
If you haven’t tried Fire Cider before it is a spicy and sweet remedy that is best taken with water, and can be a great way to begin your day (or take before a meal!).

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!

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

“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.

- 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.
