herbalist-crafted body care

I formulate my products with care and intention, slowly making each batch by hand. I grow or wildcraft many of the herbs myself. What I do buy is often sourced locally and always grown without chemicals.

The body oils are infused in organic, cold-pressed oil from midwest sunflowers and the honey and beeswax are from a local family-owned farm.

In an effort to give Mama Earth a little relief I use essential oils very sparingly and purposefully in only four offerings. My products are packaged in reusable glass and orders go out wrapped with recyclable or repurposed materials.

about Anikó

I'm a folk herbalist and teacher. My work is rooted in earth-based Hungarian folk practices. I'm inspired by the stories of the artists in my family and the old village herbalists like my great aunt Izus who kept the family alive by knowing the edible and medicinal plants in her bioregion.

I've been working with the plants for over a decade and before that I was in education. For the last decade I've been teaching workshops on herbal folkways, medicine making, and personal ritual. I also make herbal products as a way to excite others' curiosity about herbalism and the natural world. Mentoring students to help them find balance and vitality is a natural extension of this work.

Lately I've been distilling hydrosols, studying herbal energetics, researching Hungarian folk medicine, dyeing with botanicals, and learning how plants can help integrate grief and trauma. I draw from all I'm curious about to seed an ever-expanding Patreon.
