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 Winter Magic
Seasonal Herbal Box
IS HERE!

+++ 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 Winter Seasonal Herbal Box :

I’m so excited to share an assortment of favorite remedies to support your wellbeing and uplift this season — featuring some incredible healing herbs like Ginger, Rosemary, Hawthorn, Elderberry, Rose, Redwood, Cinnamon, Chamomile, Calendula and more!

The theme for this seasonal box is joy, immunity and radiance (inside and out)!

+++ There will be 3 Herbal Box options to choose from including Mini Boxes and Deluxe Boxes

1. I’ve been enjoy the magic of Rosemary a lot lately (it is wonderful infused into a body oil for sore muscles, circulation and tension), and I’ve added in Ginger to this remedy to make this an incredibly potent and warming healing salve for where we hold stress and want some pain relief!

Carry this salve with you (especially while traveling) - and rub where you need a bit of release. Also great on the low belly as a cramp relief remedy. Everywhere this salve touches will be gently warmed - enjoy!

2. So many of us know about the relaxation magic of Chamomile Flowers in tea, but did you know that you can bring that soothing effect into a body oil? This year my garden was prolific with an abundance of Chamomile Flowers, and I’ve infused them into rich Apricot Kernal Oil to bring you a delightful body oil that is perfect for Winter - soothing, restful and hydrating for the skin. 


This oil is lush, and wonderful as a daily moisturizer for dry skin. I love it before bed, and after a bath.

3. In the world of Kitchen Herbalism, I’m excited to be offering a delicious 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 Turmeric, Local Oregano, Onion, Parsley and Bay Leaf.

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!



4. I’m SO excited to be sharing a NEW remedy with you all in this box - a Chai Honey! I’ve combined Local Raw Honey with Cinnamon, Coriander, Cloves, Cardamom, Ginger and Black Pepper. Just a spoonful added to a bit of hot water and your milk of choice is a great way to make an instant - and delicious herbal chai!

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!


5. Just in time for holiday celebrations (and colder nights), I’ve made a Cordial with Fresh Local Ginger and Local Elderberries! This warming beverage will bring delight, and support your immunity. 


I love just a teaspoon this beverage with sparkling or hot water in the evening as a delightful way to enjoy some good medicine. (Note : If you do not consume alcohol let me know at checkout, and I can swap out a different remedy.)

6. Having remedies on hand to support our immunity is so important, and especially at this time of year. In this box, I’ve created a powerful blend with Echinacea and Reishi - two incredible herbs for longevity and vitality.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reishi is often referred to as the herb of immortality. This mushroom increases our body’s white blood cell count to help us fight off sickness, and also has been shown to support lowering blood sugar, helping heart health and much more.

Echinacea is widely known for its ability to also support immunity, and help your body if you are feeling sick. It has also been shown to support respiratory and skin health.



7 - 8. I’m bringing back two delicious teas for this box - the first is called Blue Magic, an uplifting and relaxing herbal tea blend that wonderfully turns blue.

This tea has Milky Oats, Butterfly Pea Flower, Cinnamon Chips and Rose Petals. Milky Oats are famous for the way they calm and support our nerves. Cinnamon brings delightful flavor, and also adds blood sugar support and warming hydration to the blend. Butterfly Pea Flower is full of antioxidants and is so pretty, and Rose Petals bring a lovely flavor and also add in hydration. This tea is great with your favorite winter desserts or on its own. I love it on cold nights.

The second tea I’m delighted to bring back is called Winter Fruits featuring Local Redwood Tips, Rosehips, Citrus Peel and Dried Elderberries. It is delicious, and filled with lots of Vitamin C, immune boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.

9. When the fall and winter roll around I’ve gotten into the habit of making Fire Cider - a remedy made famous by Rosemary Gladstar that can be taken as a daily 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!)


10. Hawthorn has become one of my most important herbal allies for the heart and grief this year. This incredible tree blooms at the peak of spring, and its berries turn a deep red at the end of fall and into winter. I’ve created a Vegetable Glycerine remedy infused with Hawthorn Berries for this box that can be enjoyed like honey (a little bit in tea is great!) or on its own with water.

These times we are living through are no joke, and as a society there is a lot of grief and unease. Taking a remedy with Hawthorn has been of great support, and this wise healer has been shown to physiologically support the heart and cardiovascular system in many ways.

11. BONUS : For the first several orders, I’ll add in a Lush Body Butter with Cacao and Shea Butters, Calendula, Yarrow and Rose Geranium. 



This deeply moisturizing body butter will leave your hands and body hydrated and soft.


12. 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 - Healing St. John’s Wort Oil Made with Fresh 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 and helps with seasonal depression. In an oil (topical - on the body) format, this remedy is safe for many (unlike the contraindications of St. John’s Wort when taken orally for those taking certain medications like SSRIs and hormones). 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.


+ Optional Add On #3
: 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.

My Apothecary.

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!

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!”

something that you can't put a price tag on!"

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.
