*On hiatus through January 16th* Hi social media friends. I’ll be on a hiatus until January 16th for custom herb blends, tinctures, and services. This past month has been crazy for me with personal health battles and my body is demanding care for myself. If you’re needing mmuneqi, @purejoyyoga is fully stocked! I can’t wait to be back helping with your health journeys in 2022!

Butterfly dreams and all the Fall vibes. Completed another gratitude journal months earlier than expected I was listening to a video today that commanded one to look around and actually see the dreams that came to pass around you. Times are weird and maybe you’ve been feeling the same as me. Maybe you’re discouraged, fearful, angry or who knows what. But woah look around at the dreams that you used you dream about that are now reality I know I needed to be reminded of ...that today. As I looked at my life and realizing I’ve created things that I used to dream about. Butterfly dreams of finally flying out of the cocoon. Don’t let the crazyiness of this world and social media let you forget that. Also in the words of Big Sean Way up, I feel blessed Just look around! P.s. to those who have ordered elderberry kits and fire cider. Be on the lookout for those soon!

PRE-ORDERS! Fall seasons means Lung season. I’m bringing back one requested product and one old school herbal product. Elderberry Syrup Kit gives you all the goodies to make your own elderberry syrup with herbs designed to support the body in aiding the absorption of this powerful herb. Great activity for families!... Secondly I’ll be making to order Eastern Fire Cider. Fun fact: this was the first thing I ever learned when training as an herbalist. This will be a super charged clinical blend this time with some TCM herbs + traditional food ingredients of peppers, onions, garlic, oranges and soo much more. This ferments for about 8-12 weeks. So get your preorders in Text/DM/Find me to preorder or with questions!

Happy one year @tristanbarnhartmusic! I love being your wife! We are spending the weekend just like how we dated with multiple concerts

The chest salve can also be used as a first aid salve! Extending preorders to next week! Grab the kit for $30 on a special sale! Check 2nd image for that gorgeous Reishi

Spring = Kapha season. earth and element rule this time. A year of quarantine and taking it easy has led many of us to an Kapha imbalance. Some tips:... -move the body and practice kapalabhati and ujjayi breathing. This builds internal heat so many of may be lacking. - Limit congesting and oily foods like dairy products and high fatty foods - Dry brush before self oil massage - Reset your digestive system by doing a cleanse or add Triphala into your regimen. DM for more info on good healthy cleanses that uses food vs supplements. No extra products needed. - Get outside and underneath that sun See more

I kissed an alpaca and I liked it I still love you tho @tristanbarnhartmusic My Sunday was full of baby goats, ponies, and all the furry loves. Enjoyed meeting everyone and connecting with some of the raddest small businesses in all the land too ... : @earth.bound.dyes

#beachbabies much needed beach day with my favorite

Whipping up some FRESH #mmuneqi for all you workshop attendees this Saturday I always reflect when weighing each ingredient and putting them together. This product is so near and dear to my heart. Hearing your stories and testimonies makes me feel so blessed. ... I’ve been using this recipe for myself for years and for clients as needed. This past year during the pandemic, I jumped to sell to everyone. As an herbalist, this year has bought a different perspective and growth for myself. Times where I have felt overshadowed or felt the need to elevate myself as a legit voice at a time where preventive medicine needed to be so desperately talked about. I’ve had to become comfortable sharing when needed and staying quiet when sensed to. At the same time, I’ve clung to and seen that herbal medicine works. I’ve clung knowing Ayurveda and TCM predates most healing systems. I’ve also became okay knowing the right clients will come who need these systems. I hope we have all healed and learned something this year on whichever journey we have taken.

Yoga pic for #motivationmonday! For those who don’t know I’ve struggled since high school with shoulder stuff after a traumatic injury.

Fresh new #mmuneqi bags made and stocked @purejoyyoga today. Use #mmuneqi to help boost your immunity and to have on hand in this craziness. Clinically studied ingredients and herbalist weighed/formulated to help boost your body. Fun fact: I formulated #mmuneqi out of my own frustrations working with supplements and seeing a lack of TCM based immunity formulas. I wanted to design a food/tea that could be taken throughout the year and voila out came mmuneQi.

I present a special meditation practice for Dinacharya week six! Dinacharya are daily rituals that help promote healthy living and immune system function. Meditation is a big part of Dinacharya as it prepares the body for the day/night depending on when you do it. ... One of my favorite practices is Trataka or concentrated gazing. In the very beginning of my mediation practice, it was super hard for me to focus and not move to my next to do list. Having a visual like Trakata has helped me significantly. By gazing on a single point of focus (most commonly a candle flame) can help memory, concentration and overall eye health. It is important now more than ever to take care of our eyes with uprise of blue light and virtual living. Join me in this meditation if you’d like: Find your favorite candle and begin to light it with intention. Find a comfortable seat where you can comfortably gaze at the candle flame. Close your eyes and find your breath. Slowly open your eyes. Begin to gaze at the flame just above the wick. Doing your best to focus and avoid blinking, but never straining. Once your eyes begin feeling that need to blink, close your eyes and keep that image of the candle flame in your mind. You may see a dot or the flame. Continue to focus on that middle point with your eyes closed and continue to steady your breath. When the image disappears, find your regular meditation practice. Happy #wellnesswednesday and #newmoon week!

Happy Monday! Here’s a pic of my kitchen table On another note, been planning some fun stuff for y’all this year. New website, new products, custom orders and so much more! Plus I’m working on some fun workshops and events (in person and virtually). Anything you want to see? If there’s something specific shoot me a message! Many of you have suggested some cool ideas that will become reality! Including a moxibustion yoga fusion event ... I haven’t been the most active on this profile but I promise I’ll answer your messages and suggestions! Happy #motivationmonday

Dinacharya week five! Dinacharya are daily rituals that help promote healthy living and immune system function. Hope your new year has been magical! I’ve been spending way less time scrolling and instead more time living. Things have been CRAZY with my final herbal clinical presentations which makes dinacharya way more important for me. Maybe life has been crazy to you too?... This week is the practice of abhyanga massage. This practice I put all of my clients on. It’s so simple and the perfect way to give yourself self care. Abhyanga is taking warmed oil (coconut for pitta, sesame oil for Vata, minimal olive oil for kapha) and massaging it into your skin from the toes to the crown of the head before bathing/showering. Ideally, it should be a minimum 5 minutes but 20 is even better. This practice promotes healthy lymphatic drainage which is pivotal for healthy immunity. This practice also improves sleep, vision, anti-aging, and stimulates the internal organs. I like partnering mine with dry brushing beforehand. Shameless plugging the @mykitsch towel scrunchie. Curly haired people rejoice no more rough towels tearing our curls! Happy massaging and #wellnesswednesday!

Happy 2021 Walking into the year doing my usual: snacking and finding all the fun in life. What I really do before I teach a yoga class. Give me all the snacks #bts
