Herbs and Crystals for Women’s Wellness

We’ve been celebrating women all month long! One way to rejoice in the beauty, strength, resilience, and intelligence of women is by putting wellness at the forefront of everything we do. After all, consistent self-love and self-care ensure we can give an overflowing of love and care to those around us. 

So, during Women’s History Month and beyond, remember the little things you can do each day to show yourself love. Be mindful of what you put into your body. Care for yourself like you would a sexy, sleek luxury car. Feed your engine top-notch fuel, and make sure that beautiful body of yours shines from the inside out. This starts with you. 

Historically, women have been the stewards of ancestral knowledge about the power of herbs and women’s wellness. As women learned the land, they became aware of the array of herbs available for healing various ailments. The women from different villages and communities shared the various plants they used to care for their neighbors and kin. The knowledge spread and a new breed of herbal trailblazers were born. 

Today, we continue sharing this knowledge as we celebrate, cherish, and love you, as you should for yourself. 

Here are some crystals and herbs to help you along your way.
