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.

Good Morning Community! 👋🏽
A portion of this week’s proceeds will go toward showing up for Women’s program on their mountain picnic this weekend in what ever way they need us (snacks, rides, etc). 🔦🦋

Every ingredient is ethically sourced from the wild, my backyard, and small businesses. If you would like to directly contribute or see our current inventory let’s talk! Please enjoy a minute of virtual cleansing from this morning’s sunrise. 🌄

Pain Relief Salve looking beautiful with the rose blooms at my day job. 🌹

Our herbal pain relief is a great addition to your medicine cabinet. It can quickly addresses pain/ discomfort in muscles, ligaments, bones, and bruises. It has taken a couple years of failing forward to make something worthy of putting out there.

White Fir is mindfully harvested by me from Mt Charleston while everything else is found from small businesses or personal gardens. Many overcharge for things like this and we pride ourselves on making more affordable wellness products to reach more people. 🫶🏽

Good morning sunshines. 🌞
Enjoying the sunrise with my pups before we get moving for the day. 🙇🏽‍♀️

I’d like to share a personal win from my humble little Apothecary. The reached out and asked if I’d like to provide an offering for one of their events. 🥹 Their organization is a space to elevate cultural identity, connection, traditional crafts/ workshops, and keeping that fire burning for the next generation.

Why does it matter? Most of us by now are of mixed ancestry. Reconnecting to the diverse blend that makes each of us provides healing for past and future generations within our lineages as well as each other. Heritage and Community are two of the most invaluable things I can think of to pass down. Thankful for the spaces where we truly see each other. Thank you if you have the capacity to enjoy these little moments with me. ❤️‍🔥

About last night. ❤️‍🔥👏🏽
It was so beautifully busy and full of people. People I love dearly and others I just met and had great conversations with. In between the fast paced energy I was able to stop and admire. Admire my Community, the web we weave individually and together, admire all those who felt my booth was a safe space to sit for a spell, my fellow vendor peeps and all their hard work. Thank you for inviting Desert Rey’s Apothecary to be part of breaking in the new Community Event space at . 🪶

There’s a wall in the shine office with names of many people I love who have passed. Quietly gave my regards to them all before the show started, Josh Koeller is one of them. One of my plants fell over on the way home and when I grabbed this handful of dirt, his memorial wristband was in it with his name perfectly facing out. I noticed your subtle but loud hello. Thank you friend. Forever loved and missed.

Tonight’s the night! Hope to see you at from 6-10pm.

Big fan girl moment. 🥹
In the early 2000’s (before youtube), my friends and I watched Indecline content. I grew up with a skate crew and the older generation was always showing us crazy s**t online. 🙈

Activism, Art, Anarchy, Ruckus. All in the name of the Truth of the People. Seeing Desert Rey’s name on an event roster with Indecline’s logo and in their social media stories is a dope win for little me. I’ll have a unique craft station for all of us. Welcome to Reflections in Motion. ❤️‍🔥🪶

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared what I do at Desert Rey’s Apothecary and there are some new friends supporting me. 👋🏽

I make non toxic beeswax candles with specific intentions in each blend and provide physical/ spiritual herbal medicines. Most products have Plants ive foraged while hiking, grown myself, or sourced from small businesses. My relationship with bridging the Land to the People comes from a cultural and holistic perspective. While it’s beautiful to learn about and use medicine from different cultures, the Apothecary is an example of exploring our medicine with our own Ancestral Wisdom as our guides. 🧬 This way ensures the well being of all of us and makes clear, good medicine practices. This is a place where ancient lifestyles and the present meet with integrity and the Collective in mind. ❤️‍🔥🌿

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. ❤️‍🩹🧿
