Our Herbal Standards

All of our remedies are handmade made with reverence for the local ecosystem, using fresh, homegrown & foraged herbs whenever we can! All of our herbal tinctures, oxymels, and elixirs are made with fresh plant material, using herbs that were harvested within 5-24 hours of the medicine being made.

We support small US herb farms for all herbs that do not grow abundantly in Colorado, as well as local beekeepers to source my beeswax and honey.

We are deeply committed to ensuring that the production of our herbal medicine line supports not only the health of ecosystems, but also a culture of reverence and reciprocity with the land. This is why we sustainably hand-harvest most of the herbs, and bring thoughtfulness to all aspects of your experience, from where our oils are sourced, to how the salt is collected, down to which packaging materials we use.

The results speak for themselves- potent and medicinal herbal extractions that are gentle enough even for the most sensitive of us.

With every Plant Healing Woman order, you are supporting women-led herbalism that is bioregional, regenerative and deeply healing.

Meet The Herbalist

Women’s Health + Becoming A Full Spectrum Doula:

Hello, I’m Jay! I am a Jewish community herbalist, forager, menstrual cycle educator, and doula.

My Herbal Journey:

I began my journey with Western and Vital herbalism, holistic healing, and menstrual awareness in 2018 when I felt pulled to examine different paths of body sovereignty and well-being.

In 2020, I got the immense gift of studying under the botanist Elaine Soloway, based in the Arava desert of Israel. Elaine Soloway specializes in the botany of wild plants of the Israeli desert. She is fascinated in exploring the plants that are mentioned in the Bible and exploring how the biblical share of their medicinal benefits sometimes differ from the plants’ medicinal plants from modern herbalist. Through studying under Elaine Soloway, I was introduced to bioregional herbalism, which became the core focus of my approach to clinical herbalism and medicine making.

Over the years, I have studied under several other teachers, such as the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, Aviva Romm, Rosemary Gladstar, and Rosalee de la Foret.

Foraging wild foods, medicine making, and tracking my menstrual cycle led me to create Plant Healing Woman where I praise the wisdom of the plants, female bodies, and ancestral wisdom.

I believe that true wellness comes from a holistic approach, embracing the mind, body, and spirit.

I was raised as a religious Jew, modern orthodox, in a world where holiness meant modesty and modesty which translated to women being silent, especially about our bodies.

We were not supposed to publicly speak about our bodies, let alone our periods or menstrual cycles. Saying the word period, or God forbid cervical mucus, would have gotten me yelled at in class or sent to the principal’s office for inappropriate behavior. My body was something to manage, to hide, to be careful with. It was never something to know.

That silence planted a deep and lasting shame. It took me a long, long time to recognize how thoroughly I had been conditioned against being an embodied woman. I learned to live from the neck up, disconnected from my womb, my blood, my intuition. I carried a quiet grief for a part of myself I was never taught to meet.

Eventually, that grief turned into hunger. I spent three full years devoted to learning everything I could about the womb, menstrual blood, sovereign fertility, and women’s hormones. I studied herbalism. I trained as a doula. I listened to elders, to science, to plants, and most of all, to my own body. I yearned to know myself so deeply that my body could become a home I lived in with intimacy and reverence, rather than a place I avoided out of shame.

Seven years later, I now publicly teach about healing the menstrual cycle and womb naturally through herbs and holistic living. I speak the words I was once punished for saying. I teach what I was never taught. I embody what I was once told to suppress.
