🔥Fire Cider🔥 is a term that renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar made popular through her many wonderful books, classes, correspondence course and teachings through the years. She chose to share her knowledge and recipes freely with anyone who wanted to learn about herbalism because she cares deeply about keeping the tradition of herbalism going. A fire cider is an herbal remedy that is made with vinegar, much like a tincture is an herbal remedy that is made with alcohol. The ingredients of fire cider can vary but usually the base contains apple cider vinegar, honey, horseradish, onions, garlic and cayenne or other spicy pepper. There have been many variations of the recipe over the years, each herbalist putting their own special twist onto this recipe, adding other ingredients such as citrus peels, turmeric, rosemary, sage, holy basil, goldenrod, prunella, elderberries and other cold and flu fighting ingredients. There is no right or wrong, if it’s part of your arsenal, it’s game for becoming an ingredient, that’s part of the beauty of fire cider! The end result is something that is sweet, sour and spicy, all in one. It warms you all the way to your stomach.

This concoction can be taken straight, added to water or tea for sipping or even used as a food (try adding it to your winter salads for an extra zip). It’s used to help heal people who are sick from colds and the flu, digestive issues, sinus infections, treating people with chronic nausea and many other things. This is the number one herbal remedy that was sitting on our grandmothers’ kitchen shelves all around the world. In fact, it goes back many, many, many generations.

In this culture, we are taught from a very young age that everything we are, everything we want or don’t want, is outside of ourselves. It’s amazing how many birth lessons are really life lessons. ⠀
✨⠀
Pregnancy and birth are no different. We believe that we are not in control and that, essentially, it’s it’s all an external job. ⠀
✨⠀
That could not be farther from the truth.⠀
✨⠀
Everything in birth, everything in life, is an internal job. Because of that fact, we are the only ones who are truly responsible for ourselves.⠀
✨⠀
Dealing with life can be hard. It’s not perfect. But I think that giving away your own power is, perhaps, the most degrading way a human can spend their lives. ⠀
✨⠀
Wow, I said it. (Excerpt from Indie Birth: A Story of Radical Birth Love, by Maryn Green.)

So I "missed" the Equinox yesterday, but not really, I just missed posting about it, but I was fully in the day with my kids and another family teaching our kids about Mabon or the Fall Equinox.
We made nature crowns and did leaf rubbings and it was pure magic. My family ended the night watching the sunset. I can feel the balance coming and I welcome it will open arms. 🍂

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn...

I welcome the chill in the mornings watching the sunrise while sipping my tea. 🌅

Goodbye Fear, Hello Love...

I welcome the dark and the seasons of change. 🍁

Goodbye Virgo season, Hello Libra season.

When I joined , Ashley wrote a beautiful introduction about me, but now it's her time. Learn more about 's owner and CEO below ⬇️⬇️

🌙I could say it’s the way leaves never stop searching for the light. ✨How sifting the soil is the balance between worlds.
✨That one inhale, especially after rain can soothe my mind.
✨Or that it’s the predestined dance in the stars of my Capricorn Sun and Virgo Moon.
✨I could say a lot of things about how plants called me home.
✨And the shifts that have occurred from the deepest vibrations of my being.
✨Yet in this moment all I can truly express is my gratitude.
✨For this time and season of my life but especially for you. The heart that’s beating and reading these words.
✨We have lots of new faces joining us. Thank you for sharing this space with us and welcome.
✨My name is Ashley. I’m the founder and owner of Wholesome Haven. I’m certified in Vaginal, Postpartum Steaming and Menstrual Analysis through the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute and a current student in the School of Evolutionary Herbalism with just a couple months away from receiving a herbalist certification through Southwest Herb here in AZ. ✨I’m called to educate, empower, support, but most of all love. I’m passionate about so many things like people’s happiness...dogs...plants/womb space (obviously) and chocolate. Birthing my daughter also birthed the best version of me and my partners unconditional love still takes my breath away. ✨I could go on about my healing journey and body discovery through endometriosis, tumor, fibroids, cysts, ect...but what if I could talk with YOU and hear where YOU are and what YOUR WOMB and body is trying to communicate instead?

I’m so f***ing excited you’re here. All my love, Ashley🌹📷

🌙After Birth the uterus has a full cleanse. All of the leftover fluids and pregnancy tissues cleans out. ✨The name for all the shedding taking place is called Lochia and as it clears the uterus goes back down to size and position. ✨When the period returns after birth it is commonly reported that bleeding is either BETTER or lighter than prior to pregnancy OR it is much WORSE or more painful than ever before. These outcomes are often directly linked to the care during postpartum.
✨A lack of adequate bedrest, nourishment, and complete uterine cleanse in the first 30 days after birth is most commonly the culprit of a painful period return.
SO...How can POSTPARTUM STEAMING help?

✨Full clearing of Lochia and reduced bleeding
