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’s Inside the Spring Seasonal Herbal Box :
I’m so excited to share new remedies (Soothing Chamomile Body Oil, Nettle and Lemon Balm Enlivening Tonic, Happy Tummy & Calm Mind Tea, plus a Digestive Elixir), new formulations (Healing Herbal Cream with Regenerative Yarrow, Herbal Facial Toner) and the return of some favorites.
1. I’m thrilled to share a NEW soothing and calming Chamomile Herbal Body Oil with nourishing Apricot Kernel Oil!
I love Chamomile in tea, and the effects of this incredible herb for the skin and nerves can be experienced in a body oil too! I infused Chamomile in Apricot Kernel Oil which is known to be deeply nourishing and moisturizing.
2. I loved making the Perfect Healing Cream for an herbal box last year - combining healing infused herbal oils, plus Aloe, my handmade Rose Water and Vitamin E. I’m thrilled to announce a spring version featuring healing and regenerative Yarrow - a plant that helps your skin heal faster!
I love this as an everyday moisturizer for your skin - enjoy it anywhere you want hydration. It’s great on the whole body, and I love it on my hands and where I notice patches of dryness.
3. I’ve been admiring the abundance of the incredible Wild Stinging Nettle in my garden (this plant found its way to me - I didn’t even plant it, the seeds must have followed me from a plant walk!). This plant offers an incredible amount of minerals, iron and vitamins. And I’ve combined it with soothing and immune-supporting Lemon Balm in apple cider vinegar that is starting to pop up in my garden now too.
I love taking a dose of herbal vinegar in the morning and/or before meals. It is a great way to support blood sugar regulation, and also get more minerals and vitamins into your day through the added bonus of these nutrient-rich herbs that are perfect for spring!
4. I’m excited to be offering a NEW Herbal Facial Toner that combines an ancient all purpose tonic (known as the first written down herbal remedy) with the power of Witch Hazel and my handmade Full Moon Rose Water.
For those of you who received the Queen of Hungary Tonic many moons ago this toner combines this ancient remedy with the healing power of Witch Hazel and Rose for the skin. I love using this after I gently cleanse my skin.
5. In a recent herbal class I was leading we made a Digestive Tonic with Thyme, Honey and Ginger infused in Brandy. After bottling some up, I was hooked, and loved it so much that I had to make it for all of you.
NOTE : If you do not consume alcohol or you are preggo, I can send a second bag of digestive supportive tea in place of this tonic!
I’ve been enjoy a bit of this remedy after a meal to aid in digestion which Thyme and Ginger are both famous for - you can also add a bit in sparkling water if you choose.
6 - 8. I’ve created three tea blends for this box - Happy Tummy Calm Mind (Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Licorice, and Lavender), which features four herbs that are known to aid in digestive support and calming the mind and nerves. We could all use more of that now!
And you’ll receive a Winter Fruits Tea with Locally Foraged Redwood Tips, Rosehips and Citrus Peel. Full of Vitamin C, this herbal tea is great to drink if you feel sick - and also to boost immunity and reduce inflammation anytime.
Three of my favorite herbal allies (Stinging Nettle, Oatstraw and Peppermint) are featured in the last tea that I’m calling “The Herbal Multi-Vitamin Tea.” This tea would be great anytime, and I love making it in the evening, and enjoying the next morning to give myself a boost.
You’ll notice in this spring box that Stinging Nettle is featured in a few remedies and formulations - it is simply one of the most nutrient-dense herbs, and is perfect plant to connect with this season as it grows abundantly.
9. BONUS - For the first orders I will send you a Sleep Tincture that I’ve been grateful for lately featuring Local Hops and California Poppy.
Notes : I invite you to experiment and try a few drops to begin with for this remedy in a little bit of water before bed. If you feel like you need more (after trying a night starting with a few drops), add a few more until you find the right dose. This tincture has been helping me sleep more deeply and stay asleep more easily - the last few years I have struggled a bit as I get older with sleep. Hops are known to help with sleep, and poppy is also can have some pain relieving effects. Great for those moon cycle days for those who bleed.
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 : Due to popular demand, you will 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, I love putting it in the refrigerator!).
And you can now order JUST the Delightful Facial Rose Hip Seed Cream on My Apothecary page as well.
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.

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.

“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.
