Spring is the time of year when things get moving again. We're no longer burying ourselves under blankets & bon bons for our winter slumber.
Similarly, nature is no longer hibernating under blankets of snow while stockpiling energy for the impending growth spurt...
For this reason, spring is the best time to support your detox organs and get that stagnant energy moving. The liver & muscles will need special attention during this time, to support healthy movement & elimination. Your skin will go from needing extra moisture from winter dryness, to extra healing from its increase in activity.
The Spring Collection is a bundle of the best herbal and holistic practices for nourishing and toning the body's major elimination organs: the liver, skin, kidneys, lungs, & colon.
The liver filters the blood, either destroying toxic molecules we've absorbed through our food and environment, or converting them into particles that can be removed from the body by the kidneys, colon, lungs, & skin.
Symptoms of a sluggish elimination system often include lack of energy, acne, indigestion, headaches, constipation, poor sleep, muscle stiffness or cramping, poor blood clotting, & more.
It is important to remember that no organ works alone in daily detoxification of our bodies. The liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, and colon all need strengthening and support. You can tone the liver all you want but if the increased amount of filtered toxins have no way to exit the body then they keep cycling through the blood and tissues, causing even more damage!
The Air element is associated with Spring and the astrological signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

Seasonal Wellness Subscriptions January 11 2014, 0 Comments
Seasonal Wellness Subscriptions
We are excited to announce that as of Spring 2014 we have expanded our medicinal line and introduced many of these new items via our seasonal bundles.
What does this mean?
Basically, you can choose to receive a generous package from us for Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter which will include much of what you need to support wellness and happiness for that specific season.
You can also purchase a full year subscription at a discounted rate and we will send you all three bundles over the course of the year.
For example,
Spring is the best time for our bodies to cleanse and rejuvenate after a long winter's hibernation {or, more often, long winter's holiday-stress-and-over-eating!} Our livers need extra support during this time. It's also the time that we are peeling ourselves out from under our wool and parkas to get back outdoors, tending to our gardening, hiking, and other favorite activities. Our muscles and skin will need some extra love as we put them back to work.
Our Spring bundle will include medicinals and body care items to support the body's own internal processes {such as our liver support tincture & detox tea} as well as external treatments to nourish {such as the hard working skin salve & muscle/joint rub}. You can expect 8-10 full sized items per shipment.
You can still look forward to seeing our infamous grooming products as well as tried and true herbal remedies that have been used for ages but are new to our shop. You can trust that it will all still be vegan, eco-friendly, and as organic as possible. Our seasonal and annual subscriptions will make a great gift for someone in your life who is trying to transition to a healthier, natural, toxin free lifestyle.
We will be posting detailed listings on the site for pre-order as the bundles become available. New medicinals will be available individually as well. You can look forward to the first subscriptions going out March 20th, the first day of spring!
