Desert Rey's Apothecary

Desert Rey's is a platform to provide crafts and wisdom from a holistic and cultural perspective. Who is Rey? It has been so for unnumbered generations.

Reynna comes from women who care for their families with home remedies as much as possible. Being the little girl who made plant potions while playing outside and being an artist gives birth to a place to share things with You as they come. Reynna is also a face of long term addiction and homelessness. Her internal healing process is transmuted in to a labor of love and compassion for others.

Fire cider from our last winter workshop of the season is ready! ❤️‍🔥 I have a few jars available for anyone who would like to love their bodies in this way. Our beloved tonic was named by Rosemary Gladstar in the 70s while different versions of it have been used for centuries.

Fire Cider is a folk remedy to aid our immune, circulatory, and respiratory systems. It can help prevent or actively fight off getting sick. Fire Cider can help address our gut health by providing our microbiome with good bacteria, increasing the production of digestive enzymes, and cleansing our digestive tract and liver.

I work around a lot of people, so being proactive about my immune system has been a must. When I inevitably catch what everyone else has, I notice I don’t stay down as long as others. Cheers! 🙇🏽‍♀️🌿

Quick trip to my Homeland to love on my elders, cousins, and plant relatives. I’m on a narrow and rugged stretch of the Red Road, but every step after the other is absolutely worth it. 🪶

Got to do some urban foraging. Rosemary and Incense Cedar are from two parts of the world that carry a good majority of my ancestry. 🧬 Rosemary offers us mental clarity and can help reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels. Incense Cedar is used to center our spirits in ceremonies and carry our prayers in its smoke. Both plants offer cleansing, protection, and nurturing to our nervous systems. Looking forward to helping you with these Plants as they’re generously helping me. ❤️‍🩹🧿

We have Palo Santo available for the people! ❤️‍🔥
Palo Santo is a sacred tree we source from tribes in Ecuador and Peru who have been gatekeepers and stewards of the land since time immemorial. What we supply has only been gathered from fallen trees and perpetuates conservation and reforestation efforts in South America. Palo Santo is burned for cleansing ourselves and spaces of bad spirits, grounding, and carrying prayers in the smoke. This particular batch is from Peru. 🌎

Desert Rey’s Apothecary prides itself on ethical sourcing and bridging the roots of Earth’s medicine to the people who receive it. Why does it matter? We believe these variables are crucial to a whole and potent medicine practice. Informed engagement with cultures outside of our own enforces Collective Wellness and the healing we seek. ❤️‍🩹🪶

🌌 Liquid Dream Catcher 🌌

Just strained our topical sleep aid and would love to introduce you if you haven’t heard of it!
I have always been a vivid dreamer and have been studying my sleep since high school. When I made this blend, I was dreaming a lot about a friend I was worrying about and wanted to practice lucid dreaming again. When I remember to use Liquid Dream Catcher I find myself getting up much less in the night and my dreams seem more calm and clear.

Made with Mugwort, Chamomile, and Lavender to help the physical body relax, protect our astral bodies in the dream world, and remember. 🖤✨

New Medicine Pouches unlocked! 🧿🔐
Handmade by yours truly. Every step from cutting mahvea (deer skin) to punching holes and stitching is a prayer. Medicine pouches are used to carry different Plant/Mineral/Animal relatives or personal talismans for prayer, protection, and divination. What goes inside is specific to each person who carries this medicine. Each pouch is adorned in its own way so it feels personal to You. 🪶

While all my Indigenous lineages revere the deer, my Yaqui tribe is known for the Deer Dance. This dance tells the story of the Deer and its journey through the different worlds and its place in maintaining balance between humanity and nature. Thank you to the deer who sustains us physically and spiritually. It’s an honor to bring deer medicine to the Apothecary table. 🦌

I was getting sun and taking pictures of our Pain Relief Salve to talk about it helping my foot pain when a bee landed on my hand for a while. I enjoyed its stay and a friend reminded me to listen to the message this moment brings. My mental health has been foggy, so this was a nice light in a dark spot on my path.

A bee landing on the hand can be a message of diligence in pursuit(s), hard work paying off, harmony with community, unity, greetings from spirit guides, new opportunities, growth, and fertility. Thankful always for the bees. 🐝🖤

Desert Rey’s Apothecary will be hosting a medicine pouch workshop. Together, we will sew pouches I have pre cut and hole punched from a single piece of deer hide. We will discuss this medicine for the people and how to carry it in a good way. Winter months can be daunting for many of us, so we look forward to this opportunity to Connect with Community and learn together. ❤️‍🩹🪶

What a cozy Winter gathering! Thank you for stepping in to the Apothecary with me during the full moon. Kids being eager to participate is one of my favorite things because the world is theirs. 🪶

We talked about the New Year and the way some of our different cultures acknowledge it outside of the gregorian calendar. We took the time to Remember. This is still a period of hibernation and introspection as we journey toward longer days. No need to hurry right now. Rest and breath are all this season asks of us. Thank you all for this nurturing moment of Connection. ❤️‍🩹

Happy full moon everyone! 🌚 We are ready for our Fire Cider workshop tomorrow at 3pm. Feel free to bring what you please to the altar to charge and commune with Grandmother Moon. 🪶🌿

Fire Cider is a wellness tonic used for immune, respiratory, and circulatory health. I truly believe I am getting sick less for shorter amounts of time since I have added Fire Cider to my immune support routine. If you wish to have a jar and can’t make it, you’re welcome to reserve one for when this batch is ready!
