Wellness Before It Had a Name
Today happens to be a federal holiday — and we’re choosing to focus on something far more meaningful.
Long before wellness brands, supplements, or self-care trends, Black communities were practicing intentional healing as a way of life.
🌿 Herbal remedies passed down by elders
🌿 Plant knowledge rooted in survival and care
🌿 Wellness as protection, not luxury
This wasn’t about aesthetics.
It was about staying whole in a world that often tried to break us.
At Jade’s Botanical Garden, we honor that legacy every day — not by claiming perfection, but by remembering where wellness truly began:
with our ancestors, our knowledge, and our resilience.
Take a breath today.
Rest without guilt.
Care for yourself like someone who knows your life matters — because it does.
💚
Stay healthy, stay happy.
