My name is Rachel Cordua and I am the herbalist and plant stained hands behind Bhava Wellness. 👩🏻‍🌾

We are a small-batch herbal remedies + natural skincare company rooted in western herbalism and eastern Ayurvedic practices.

I’m originally from the beautiful and majestic 🏜️ Arizona desert but now live in the gorgeous Garden State in small town right outside of our beloved city of Philadelphia. A place I have called home off and on now for 20 years.

Our all organic products are 🤲🏽 handcrafted using botanicals grown on our land, sustainably wildcrafted plants 🧺 gathered with intention, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients from small organic farms. We work intentionally, choosing ♻️ glass and biodegradable packaging to lessen our footprint so that we can maintain our process as honest and simple. 🫶🏽

Today, we craft Bhava Wellness in our sunlit studio that is conveniently nestled in behind our home, where we 🌱 grow, gather, infuse, and create each product in small batches, guided by the Seasons, tradition, and an attention for quality over scale. Always.

Our products are an ode to the land, to Mother Nature, and to all who love and value her. Every bottle mirrors the beauty, resilience, and the soul of the wild. We hope our offerings allow you to journey to these places as they naturally become a grounding part of your everyday.

Well folks, it’s official. This allergy Season tried to kick my 🍑 and it nearly did. I am a firm believer that Perimenopause changes everything and my immune system + nervous system have been compromised the most during this hormonal shift.

But… I am a warrior… so as soon as these Seasonal allergies 🤧 made themselves known, I immediately started my “oh hell no” program of daily rituals and herbal remedies to let these allergens know that I mean business.

Y’all know how much of a I am and I’m not going to forfeit time outside or in the garden due to mother nature’s free flower show. 😍 Nope not a chance, I have waited too long for Winter to end to not spend the afternoons with my windows open. 😂

Tomorrow’s newsletter is going to be filled with daily rituals + best practices that have helped me through Allergy Season over the years. So if this is something you might interested in… be sure to sign up.

In herbal traditions, Spring (aka Kapha Season) is a time of movement and renewal. 🌀

Our bodies, like the land, begin to thaw and shift. This is a beautiful opportunity to support that transition with 🌱 herbs that gently encourage better circulation, healthy digestion, and both mental + physical clarity. ✨

Spring reminds us to stretch slowly toward the sun, to listen closely to what we need, and to welcome change with a bit of extra curiosity and care.

Our recent newsletter just popped into your inboxes🌷

I am so grateful to share this seasonal shift with you. There is something truly special about aligning with the cycles of nature, and I hope you find comfort, vitality, and inspiration in the warmer days ahead. 🌞

Little rituals around tending to your digestion right before you sit down to eat can make all the difference.

A few drops of our DAILY DIGESTIVE herbal bitters helps to stimulate saliva and bile flow and sends a signal to your body saying: 👋🏽 we’re ready. 🌀

Taken just before or during a meal, these 🌱 herbs gently wake everything up. Saliva starts flowing, 👅 enzymes begin to stir, and your whole system shifts into a softer, more receptive state. It’s like opening the windows before guests arrive…everything feels easier, lighter, more at home.

In tincture form, the herbs are already extracted and ready to go, meeting your body quickly and efficiently. No waiting, no brewing, just a simple ritual woven into your meal.

A few drops on the tongue, a deep breath, and suddenly eating becomes a moment of connection, where your body feels supported, prepared, and cared for from the very first bite. 🤎

Are you a fan of herbal digestive bitters?

In Ayurveda, we call this transitional time KAPHA Season - a time where we ~ and the land ~ are flushing and slushing out the wet + heavy last bits of Winter… and heading into the reawakening of Spring.

The cold, dry and slow hibernation that Winter (aka 🌬️VATA Season) accumulates in our environment, in our bodies, and in our minds, making us feel the urge to counter-balance those effects as we make our way into this new Season.

As we ease into the transition, we begin to see & feel that in order to balance the heavier, denser, thicker and oilier effects of KAPAH Season, we must lighten,🌀flush things out and refresh!

We want to begin moving… and especially our stagnant lymphatic fluid.

In Ayurveda, lymph is known as the sacred carrier and cleanser of the body, taking waste products from our cells and clearing them out of the body for disposal. 🗑️

You can think of the lymphatic system like the drains and pipes in your home. Just imagine how easily old energy and waste can get stuck and create blockage if left unattended. Since the lymphatic system has no automatic pump of its own, it relies on our conscious decisions in order for it to turn on and to function properly. 🌀

We have a wonderful catalog of offerings and helpful tools that align and encourage your body + mind to shed, to reset and to awaken to the renewed energy of Kapha Season!

You can find these under our AYURVEDA tab, our KAPHA balancing section of our site, and in our KAPHA Spring rituals kit. ✨

Let me know if you have any questions and please share some of your favorite Spring refresh rituals…we would love to hear them!

We made it through the Lunar Eclipse portal ✨

How is everyone feeling?! 💦

I had the wildest dreams last night that continued on into the morning. didn’t get much quality sleep ~ but ~ I had a few deep realizations, gained quite a lot of clarity, and then a few pretty obvious invitations for things I need to work on 😂 all come through the threshold.

Mother Nature has been showering us with her rains all day. I’ll be over here Inviting in the water. Lots of it and in its many forms today.

starting with some journaling and a moon bath 🌵🌕

Here we go 🌕🩸👤

Are you ready for tomorrow’s Blood Moon total Lunar Eclipse?!Based on the conversation my husband and I had about our dreams last night… I feel it’s going to be EXTRA.

Especially as we are already in Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. NBD 😆😂

Lunar Eclipses are seen in both folk magic and astrology as an accelerators, a moment when timelines compress, truths surface quickly, and what has been accumulating or building reaches a turning point and it’s up to us to focus on which way that new energy flows. 🌀✨

When the moon is eclipsed, our emotional inner waters are stirred dramatically. Things that were subtle before become undeniable. What we’ve been avoiding rises to the surface and what we’ve either been tending to or ignoring begins to show its results.

Eclipses can be unpredictable portals. They aren’t usually gentle energy, they are often catalytic. Rituals under an eclipse move faster, land harder, and unravel our illusions.

When this energy is treated with respect: it amplifies our intention, speeds up what is already in motion, and reveals what’s misaligned. This can all have a powerful and a positive outcome if we are ready and open to it. ✨

This Blood Moon is life force. It is lineage. It is renewal. A shedding with the volume turned way the F 🆙 so that what is unstable can fall away quickly, and what is true can root 🪾more deeply.

Game on my friends… what are your plans this for this Lunar Eclipse?

Kitchen renovations are underway. 🤎

We are going for an unfitted Kitchen in our 110 year old house. If you aren’t familiar with what that is, it’s often characterized by its use of freestanding furniture, second hand or antique finds, and a look of individual workstations rather than built-in, wall-to-wall cabinets.

This style suits us better and offers us much more creative freedom. It takes time to gather or to build in this way and I plan on doing both. To be honest, we don’t have much of a budget for it at all, so it will have to take us time. Luckily I am a rather wild and unhinged scavenger, a ridiculously determined treasure hunter, and a self taught builder ~ DIYer so thankfully this lessens the financial burden tremendously.

I’ll begin building our workstation for the sink area soon with some beautiful super wide planked wood that I picked up from an old barn in Frenchtown. Excellent Facebook Marketplace find ✔️ if I do say so.

Things will come together over time and finding this first piece at to house our daily dish ware is a beautiful starting point and my inspiration to the look and feel of what’s to come.
