Spring 2025: Transform Your Health with Herbal Remedies and Isola Products

A whole new year is here! This year we not only celebrate 2025, but we celebrate the Chinese New Year welcoming the Year of the Snake. The Snake represents a time of transformation: shedding the old and welcoming growth. This year I’m excited to engage more on my social media and offer some in-store events at our little retail location in Crossfield. You may have seen already on my Instagram, I’m sharing more about the process that is involved with creating Isola products, and how my practice as a Clinical Herbalist focuses on seasonal wellness.

In my practice, seasonal wellness means observing the energetics of the food, herbs, spices and liquids that we consume. We relate our diet to our individual constitution, while making note of the environmental season that we are in. I will note here that in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is the foundation of my practice, there are not four seasons, but five: Winter, Spring, Summer, Late Summer, and Fall. Each of these seasons can influence our overall wellbeing as well as our tendencies towards immunity.

Feature Product: Isola Lymph Tide

Let’s start with our newest Isola product: the Isola Lymph Tide Lymphatic Support Oil. I created this oil for two main reasons: First, I believe that the lymphatic system of the body is one of the most vital to care for, as it can determine not only our health, but also our physical comfort. Second, eight years ago I ‘unlocked the gate’ to a condition that I am constitutionally more likely than others to have: rheumatoid arthritis. This condition came in my 30’s, and it took a solid three years of dietary adjustments, quarterly visits to my Herbalist, seasonal herbal remedies and regular acupuncture for me to “close the gate”. While I am aware that I will never again be able to ‘lock’ the gate on this condition, I work with my diet, my fitness, herbs and the seasons to keep that gate closed. If you’ve ever experience a rheumatoid arthritis flare-up, you’ll know how painful, debilitating, and confusing it can be. I am so grateful to have it under control, and for the knowledge of how to prevent flare-ups. As a Clinical Herbalist, seasonal ‘flare-ups’ are a common type of discomfort that I help clients to gain control over.

Our Newest Product: Isola Petal Lip Balm in Butter Rose

Next, there’s a new gal in town! The Isola Petal Lip Balm is a brand new formulation: it’s creamy, buttery, and rosey! Made using hydrating rose petals, plumping hibiscus flower, nourishing butterfly pea flower and calming chamomile, this lip product is truly unique and wildly floral. Perfect for cool winter days and the coming warm spring weather, we think you’ll love the bright floral aroma and how buttery-soft your lips feel!
