Herban Collectives

During one of our recent HEAL.th and WELL.ness classes, we did an intro to the urinary system. It was a part of our "Whats the message" series.

Yes that's a HVAC filter that was used as a prop. There was a message here.

Your urinary system is one of the most underrated detox systems in the body. Every single day, it filters your blood, balances your fluids, regulates minerals, stabilizes blood pressure, and eliminates metabolic waste — quietly, efficiently, and continuously.

When it’s flowing well, you feel clear, energized, and balanced. When it’s struggling, the body whispers… and eventually shouts.

I'm taking a moment to explore a little deeper about this sacred system in the body, what urinary imbalances look like, and how to support it naturally.

Before laboratory tests, imaging, or blood panels existed, the human body itself was the diagnostic tool. Early "healers" understood that internal imbalance always expresses externally. The face, tongue, hair, and nails were viewed as living maps—constantly updating reflections of digestion, circulation, organ vitality, mineral status, emotional health, and nervous system function.

Over the last few weeks, we've been exploring the foundational ways your body talks to you. I'm placing some of the key things we've discussed here as an intro to self-assessing your HEALth experience. Use these messages to help you and your medical team understand what your body could be actually telling you.

Now grab a 🪞mirror and get to looking!

When it comes to the face, look at some of these indicators:

So much is occurring in the world.

The sky is being polluted.

The water,contaminated.

The "food" products, lacking nutrients.

Some things we can't control BUT what we allow in our home...managable.

When your body sparks a fever, it’s not breaking down…it’s breaking through.

A fever is one of the body’s ancient healing tools -a built-in heat shield designed to weaken pathogens and activate immune intelligence.

Instead of fearing a fever, try honoring it. With mindful support and the right botanicals, a fever becomes an ally, not an enemy.

🤒 Fevers can be very beneficial and here's why:

1. Strengthens Immune Response

Have you ever wondered why every day we wear a different color?

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

It's because we practice color therapy. Yes, that's a thing. Color therapy is energetic nutrition for the soul — just as food nourishes the body, color nourishes the energetic frequency of our emotional and spiritual system.

Color is not merely a visual experience—

color is vibration.

Every color carries a distinct wavelength and resonates with a specific energetic frequency within the human biofield.

And it's time we talked about it.

During our recent HEAL.th & WELL.ess class, I shared something that everybody should know about. Your body's circadian rhythm.

Ions ago, it was one of the ways traditional practitioners could help you understand what could be happening with your body. Waking up between 1am-3am, your liver was struggling to detox you. Swollen ankles between 3pm-5pm... your bladder may be a little out of balance. Looking for a little caffeine between 1pm-3pm? This is your livers weakest time and your small intestines are ACTIVELY working to nourish you and process food to move to the colon.

I gonna take a moment to scratch the surface on this topic. Read it. Reread it. And then do an assessment on yourSelf. Does any of these things resonate with you? There could be a reason!

Loaded question and one that I'll have to talk about more in HEAL.THING101 but for this moment, I'm sharing a few to explore.

If you’re looking for a gentle, cleaner way to step away from traditional cigarettes, an #herbal smoking blend can offer grounding, relaxation, and respiratory support without nicotine’s addictive grip.

And I have one for you!

It contains 4️⃣ powerful allies—mullein, mugwort, lavender, and lobelia which have been traditionally used as smoking alternatives that calm the body while helping you break old patterns.

Let's talk briefly about each one...

Sharing a few herbs that could support your HEAL.th experiences 💚

1. Grab a mug.

2. Prepare your water.

3. Go to your apothecary and select the one (or two) that calls to your Spirit.

4. Add to your water for infusing.

I test drove the chicory root coffee/tea with some stevia root for just a little sweetener. It’s going to take some getting used to not having super sugary store bought coffee drinks.. I’ll try it with Silk Vanilla Almond Milk.
