Coming soon to our online shop!
The new line is FINALLY coming home! Previously only available at Tucson Herb Store (Tucson, Arizona) and Earth Commons in (Austin, Texas), the beloved La Lámpara, El Abrazo, and LA Joya will soon be added to our online store. Look for them this summer on our Remedios page, and in the meantime, you can read more about them below.
🕯️La Lámpara: Mood Illuminating Formula🕯️
...introducing our latest micro-collection of energetic formulas.
++Frankincense resin (Boswellia serrata)++ is the warm soft light left on to welcome and guide you home no matter how long the journey or how late you get in. Traditionally used to open and clear channels of the both physical and energetic body, Frankincense has a balanced temperature and a tendency to both sooth and move energy. (Our Frankincense is organically grown. ***To be avoided internally during pregnancy.)
++Mimosa bark (Albizia julibrissin)++ is known as the 'Tree of Collective Happiness' and has an incredible knack for sweeping away dark heavy clouds and bringing a renewed sense of lightness and calm, while anchoring the spirit into the self. It is shown to enhance activity and regulation of the neurotransmitters including serotonin production and therefore should not be used in combination with MAOI, TCA, or SSRI medications.
++Bleeding Heart Essence (Dicentra formosa)++ Acts as an energetic fairy dust, restoring vital spark and luster to the person who has grown stolid and dull.
++Rose/Smokey Quartz Essence++ "helps us move energy from shadow to acceptance; facilitates the process of clearing and releasing dense energy from the heart and the body" (Alaskan Essences)

☁️ El Abrazo: Holding Support Formula☁️
"We all need, at one time or another, to be the baby bird held under the fierce comfort of a caregiver’s wing." - Y|N
++Milky Oat Tops (Avena sativa) are the literal archetypal mother's milk of the plant world. With an affect on the nervous system that is at once quieting and strengthening, nothing nourishes calm resilience quite like Avena's protective hand on our shoulder.
++Chamomile Flower (Matricaria recutita) finds the places where we are attached to anger, ire, and distress and asks them soften & release their grip. Melting and milding the irritated frayed edges of our nervous system, chamomile sweetly pacifies our inability to let go and sink into the sensation of safety in rest.
++Jojoba essence (Simmondsia chinensis) is quite simply the cottony down landing place and noise canceling headphones that we all need when our only desire is to be folded up, tamale style, in plush blankets and rocked on nana's lap while she whispers to us of our innate, untouchable perfection.
++Mariposa Lily Essence (Calochortus spp.) reminds us of the unconditionality of love that IS the universe itself, regardless of what our human relationships did or did not teach us of it. Mariposa Lily shows us our ability to be a parent to ourself and find security and warmth from within.

💎La Joya: Fierce Heart Formula💎
"For our diamond in the rough. Polish through the sand and grit. Allow for the brilliance of one's heart to shine true and light the way." - Y|N
++Hawthorn Berry (Crategus spp.) has the potential to show us tough some tough love, but it's good for us. Like young fawns, we learn to balance our sharp thorns with our luscious hearts that are longing for connection. Hawthorn teaches by example that it is less frighting to show up fully in the world if we are armed with both ultimate softness and discerning boundaries.
++Motherwort (Leonarus cardiaca), the lioness, matches courage with devoted compassion. Dare to be bold, knowing that Motherwort is there to remind us that We. Are. Okay. This plant has shown to calm the effects of anxieties that have a tendency to rope in the heart with rapid beats or palpitations. Their bitter flavor works to ground us into back into our center when our inclination is to flee. (**Not appropriate for internal use during pregnancy).
++Violet Essence (Viola odorata) may look shy but don't be fooled. Their roots are strong and stable anchors that rightly and readily take up space. They remind us of our core strength and hold us sturdily when we are wobbly and full of grief.
++Fairy Duster Essence (Calliandra eriophylla), buoyant and direct, this desert essence can feel like riding a bullet train straight into our heart center. It's easy to fall out that jeweled throne, but trust, Fairy Duster helps us focus our energy and find the fastest way back in.
