Herbal Bandaid Kit
Before adhesive bandages filled our medicine cabinets, people often turned to warm herbal poultices to comfort and care for everyday wounds.

Why I Made This
One of my favorite things about herbalism is remembering that many of the remedies we use today have roots stretching back thousands of years. Long before disposable bandages existed, people gathered plants from fields, forests, and gardens to make warm poultices for everyday injuries.
I wanted to honor that tradition in a way that feels like bringing the fields and forests into your own home. This kit isn't meant to replace your medicine cabinet, it's just an invitation to slow down, care for your body with intention, and reconnect with the simple wisdom plants have offered for generations.
