Just opened @julianamccarthy ‘s modern guide to astrology. And she articulates so perfectly - in her introduction - what has also drawn me to first plant medicine, and now astrology: “for the first time my mind began opening to magic and the possibility that life has invisible dimensions and auspicious synchronicities.” Every day I’m in awe on how powerful all that it “invisible.” And how our modern world operates without ever taking the invisible in to account... #astrology
We are fortunate to live in a society where finally marriage will connect same sex lovers instead of keeping them separate 🙏🏼❤️ after much discrimination, bias, and strife in the gay community- love prevails❤️ thank the heavens this is finally a reality. For all that have ever struggled let these photos be a reminder of all the love and light that is possible now. ✨✨Photo bombing this beautiful wedding of two souls who are truly elevated by one another’s presence. Their patience, kindness, humor, and support for one another is awe inspiring. It isn’t always easy (even though it always looks that way to me) they work on it- and after 10 years of dancing together they finally tied the knot. I love them so much. And so do the 90+ people who flew to a remote island from countries all over the world. Cheers Jon and Tom, my artist brothers from other mothers. Your example means the world to me. May you live your lives always in fulfillment and the best of health. @jonathanrosen_art @instatomsmith

Lots of information thank you to all who came 🌱🌟💛🙏🏼#herbalmedicine #plantsheal #plantsasmedicine #herbalism #herbworkshop #herbalism101 #arielletheherbalist #thealchemistskitchen
For the last five years I have left my hair mostly natural. Recently I decided I wanted a change and I’m lucky enough to have a special friendship with the most talented magical expert hair Goddess I’ve ever come across. @jasminerosebesiso works globally as a hair healer traveling all over to meet her clients from every world corner. I came to see her at her post @ablhairstudios a unique hair healing salon in Williamsburg that works with products that are herbal oils sans harsh chemicals. For all my chemical conscious peeps. Today I had a detoxify shampoo, and then a handmade exfoliate named “ocean paste” with all earth minerals and plants: Shikakai Powder, Rose Petal powder, Orange Peel Powder, Aritha Powder, Neem Powder, Kaolin Clay, Himalayan Sea Salt, Essential Oil Blend (Lemongrass, Peppermint, Lavender, Rose Essential Oils). And finished off with an activated charcoal conditioner and a protein mask with a hot towel infused with essential oils all created and designed by ABL. So much plant love. All the while I was laying on a mat that is heated with infrared action and powered with amethyst and tourmaline!! . . There’s meditation, aromatherapy, crystals, vibrating mats, - all the amazing things. This exists! I really wanted to share and shout out my special lady @jasminerosebesiso because I’m feeling so good amidst a stressful life period and as cheesy as this is - like I’m rediscovering myself as a super blonde- all new person 😂 Thanks @ablhairstudios hope you smile when you see this 💋💋💋 #hairhealing #ablhairstudio
WOMEN’S HEALTH ALERT: In our current medical system when a menstruating woman has an irregular cycle almost always the answer is to go on the pill. Even if they are not sexually active. I was put on the pill 15 years old for cramps by my Gyno without a second thought. There are long lasting and deep side effects to taking synthetic hormones most prevalently for me, were psychological: blue moods, crying jags for no reason, weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, and more. If I had just known there were herbal blends to try, that could help me regulate my symptoms and cycle - the years of obstacles in this arena could have been avoided. There isn’t one herbal blend that’s perfect for everyone so it’s always helpful to discuss your personal constitution with your herbalist or knowledgeable support system when formulating. Like all of the lovely herbalists @flowerpower_nyc 🌸This featured blend though, in particular I learned from studying with @katinkture as a wonderful choice for balancing hormones after coming off the pill. Licorice Root, Dandelion Root, Fenugreek, and White Peony Root. Overall this blend will help to balance cortisol levels, support the HPO axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary axis), healthy liver function to detox excess hormones, and acts as a phytoestrogenic tonic which is quite balancing. Drinking this along with Yoni Steaming (of course I love our) @sacredlotusyonisteam / and it can do wonders for finding a regular cycle and minimizing pain and cramps. Let me know if you have any questions and want to know what may be right for you!! #dandelionroot #fenugreek #yonisteam #yonisteaming #balancehormones #herbalist #plantsheal #flowerpowerherbsandroots
My Prince Charming!!! Found at last...
It’s no secret that @thealchemistskitchen is a lead destination in NYC (and even nationwide) for therapeutic grade CBD (non-psychoactive Cannabis). It’s quite common for physicians and psychotherapists to refer their patients to us for a dependable standard that we are very proud to offer. If you aren’t familiar with CBD- in a “short story” CBD helps the body find a parasympathetic nervous state which is the opposite of a fight or flight mode. This calm / meditative state is ideal for helping the body heal itself on all kinds of physical and mental health issues (even modulating pain). The benefits of CBD are far reaching and complex. While it’s becoming quite the trend it’s important to know it isn’t the only remedy to focus on. However because it’s a trend it’s something those who are new to complementary medicine are quite open to. We took @larkinhughes trunk show event as the perfect opportunity to educate shoppers on the benefits of CBD and other whole plant remedies for humans and pets alike! One thing you can guarantee from @lousagar owner of @thealchemistskitchen is that wherever Plant Alchemy CBD is offered there will be knowledgeable experts teaching people how to work with this sacred and powerful medicine so that it isn’t misused 🙏🏼⚡️🌱 thank you @gabrielladaher for this lovely opportunity and @larkinhughes for making the best ever jumpsuit from Japan BUT made in New York.

What is life without these moments ? This was a really special one. I love all of you!
There doesn’t seem to be a week that passes without a reminder that there is some kind of bug resistant to antibiotics (most recently The NY Times on Candida Aura). Here’s the special remedy to keep your eye on... . . U S N E A ~ May be referred to as ‘old man’s beard’ is actually a lichen rather than an herb/plant! A combination of fungi and algae growing in old growth forests on patches of rocks, trees, and even the earth. TBH more looking beautiful like mermaid hair. When Usnea thrives it is a bio-marker of clean air- as areas with high sulphuric dioxide wont sustain Usnea life (chlorophyll is destroyed and photosynthesis is inhibited). Properties are anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. This means it is an unbelievable medicinal, excellent choice for anything from soar throat, to pneumonia, urinary tract infections, fungal infections (candida), boils, and more. Many herbalists have used Usnea for different kinds of gram positive bacteria particularly Streptococci and Staphylococci (internally and externally on wounds). Using Usnea should be with thoughtfulness to not overharvesting and with care - some species in U.K. are extinct. Preparations of Usnea are often disagreed upon by herbalists- however a tincture is very helpful when 3 hour decoction steeped in 25% alcohol for 2-3 days. Learned from Native American Herbalist, Karyn Sanders. #usnea #oldgrowth #oldgrowthforest #antibiotics #antibacterial #pneumonia #urinarytractinfection
