In addition, we’ll have a pop-up table at Ethos on Saturday, March 29, from 12 – 5 PM. It’s the perfect time to stock up on your favorite non-toxic essentials and support local makers in our community. We can’t wait to see you there!

Happy spring equinox! 🌷🐣🌿 I just spent four days at Esalen in Big Sur at an herbalism retreat—unplugged from modern life and fully present with the land. Esalen is one of the most magical places I’ve ever been. Some of the most meaningful moments from the trip were sharing herbal tea made from the sacred land, soaking in the hot springs, and making herbal medicine straight from Esalen's gardens. After this retreat, I feel deeply inspired to weave new plant allies into my daily rituals, carrying this wisdom and connection forward.

As mothers of young children, we’re always looking for simple, nourishing ways to bring healing herbs into our daily routines. Our new Postpartum Electuary has quickly become a favorite—we’ve been reaching for it every single day (multiple times a day!) this past week. It’s incredibly easy to use, which is a gift when self-care feels like an afterthought amid the busyness of motherhood. Simply stir a spoonful into hot water for a soothing herbal tea, drizzle it over your favorite foods, or—our personal favorite—enjoy it straight from the spoon. :)

Introducing Our New Postpartum Electuary Blend! What is an electuary, you ask? An electuary is a blend of powdered medicinal herbs mixed into honey. 🍯 It’s a delightful way to incorporate healing herbs into your daily routine. Simply mix a spoonful of the mixture into hot water and enjoy as a soothing tea. 🍵 This blend includes raw honey, red raspberry leaf, jujube, rosehips, rose, oatstraw, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. This synergistic combination of medicinal herbs is formulated to provide warmth to the body and aid in postpartum healing. 🌹

At Kin Within, each product is handcrafted in small batches with high-quality, nourishing botanicals. Our Body Bliss Oil, for example, is a luxurious golden blend infused with organic calendula, chamomile, and rose. We create this oil through a month-long solar infusion, where the herbs are carefully steeped in jojoba oil under the sun’s warmth and protected by a dark amber jar to preserve their potent properties. Each step in our process is designed to nourish your skin while honoring the earth, using eco-conscious packaging and biodegradable fill.
