About Live Botanical,

Live Botanical was created by Carolyn McRory a trained herbalist, who started formally studying Herbalism in 1998. She also has a background in Information Systems & Environmental Literature which adds an interesting facet to her background. In this box, themed ‘Herb Magic in the Moonlight’, we have chosen two products that simply blew us away & that showcase Carolyn’s deep knowledge of herbs & plant magic. Many of the herbs used in the potions below are grown in Carolyn’s own garden or locally sourced.
Live Botanical Tender Moon Fruit Tisane ($20.00 value): This delightful tea, which is soothing and calming, smells and tastes delectable! This tart & sweet blend, which was made exclusively for this Boxwalla box by Carolyn, is formulated, "to uplift the spirit & provide comfort during the ebbs & flows of life." It contains dried blueberries and cranberries from a small third-generation farm in Southern Oregon, and local Hood River grown apples. They regionally sourced Lemon Balm, Rose & Hibiscus, as well as biodynamic, locally grown Raspberry & Motherwort. This tea is very effective at treating PMS, but is also a general health tonic. All the herbs & fruits are sourced from a combination of regional organic farms & from Carolyn’s own microgarden.
Live Botanical Moon Cycle Balm ($32.00 value): This delectable balm, which is made in a base of Pumpkin Seed Oil and raw Oregon Beeswax sourced from local bee keepers, is a potent anti-inflammatory powerhouse that is perfect for sore muscles and joints, menstruation cramps and discomfort associated with menopause. 
It was originally designed to help relieve PMS cramping and as a mood elevator, but it can also be applied to bruises, scars, and is able to relieve tightness in the neck, shoulders and back.

Arnica helps to increase circulation reduce inflammation and heal bruises. Natural Goldenrod, "an inflammation moderator, extends the action of Arnica," Clary Sage soothes cramps related to menstruation & menopause and Frankincense and Immortelle essential oils provide additional antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory healing.

According to Live Botanical,

A blend of soothing herbs to support discomfort from your menstrual cycle in addition to muscle and joint pain.

A topical approach focusing on antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and nervine properties to increase comfort. Where the aromatic experience creates harmony by calming anxiety, removing nervous tension.

Sustainably grown arnica from our own micro-garden added to increase circulation to the inflamed area.  Circulation increases the body’s natural ability to reduce inflammation to lessen pain.

Coupled with our garden grown goldenrod, an inflammation moderator, it extends arnica’s actions to support circulation and cool the injured area.  Known for many internal uses and in addition has shown effectiveness in topical pain treatments with an affinity to uterine cramping.

Directions: During menstruation: massage liberally on the abdomen and lower back.  In circular motions work in the balm until there is a slight layer of product left.  Use pressure that feels comforting; relax and take deep slow breaths. Inhale the scent from your palms after applying to allow the aromatherapy benefits working in conjunction with the herbal infusion.

Before bed: massage a small amount of balm onto your neck and shoulders until mostly absorbed with a thin layer of product left.  While you rest, take deep breaths and allow the scent to drift you off to sleep. Clary Sage is helpful in dream therapy so your dreams may be more vivid.  Keep a journal near your bedside and take note in the morning to reflect on your slumber.

  1. It's a terrific box but truthfully I'm glad I'm done with PMS and period pain. I will share this info though with people still in the midst of it all.

    1. It is effective for more than PMS, bad periods and menopause, but it is certainly really good for those!

  2. Such a fascinating special box! And the name Herb Magic in the Moonlight is divine! Though I am no longer dealing with menstrual cramps, I love how they have linked the cycle with the cycles of the moon. It sounds very appealing and soothing!

    1. It really is a special box, and it is effective for more than PMS or cramps. I also really love the way in which they like the cycle with the cycles of the moon as well! The balm is so soothing and comforting, and the tea is delicious and comforting. Both products give me a sense of wellbeing!
