About the Products

Our Ingredients

Each product is made with the highest quality and purity. All ingredients come from safe sources that ensure the continuity of positive practices for people and planet Earth. Wild botanicals are sustainably and ethically harvested in pristine places or responsibly grown in organic soils, and then infused through various processes in pure bases such as pesticide-free oils or organic alcohols.

Abyanga & Anointing Oils

These oils were birthed out of a direct experience with the profound healing and balance that can come from oil & herbs. Each blend is formulated to support body & mind, to help us walk with deeper connection with our spirit in everyday life. 

Abyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic practice of oiling the body before bathing; this is especially supportive for certain constitutions and drives the oil & herbs deeply into the body. This is one of the many ways of working with these oils. Others include: on the feet at night, before or after bathing, massage, anointing, and simply as a way to connect with oneself through touch and presence.

Salves

Desert Piñon Salve

Pine salve has been utilized as a healing remedy by indigenous peoples since the beginning of time. The salve is made with the “pitch” produced by the tree; a resinous material the tree exudes. The trees use this as a bandaid and healing balm, to mend broken off branches or diseased areas. By the doctrine of signatures, we can recognize the pattern, and utilize the pine pitch for our own application in a similar way. 

Desert Piñon Salve has a wide range of uses when applied topically, addressing both surface issues and deeper aches and pains within the body. It not only relieves discomfort, but actually supports the reparation of the mechanism that is causing pain.  

Use it to help protect wounds and promote their healing; mend damaged skin, relax sore muscles, relieve pains and aches, promote healing of bruised areas, pull up splinters, soothe burns, support bronchial health and expectoration during a cold. It is antimicrobial, warming and will bring increased circulation to an area for healing. 

Soothing Skin Salve

Specifically formulated to treat eczema topically, this salve also is suitable for irritations on the skin including psoriasis and other allergic or rashy conditions. This blend is calming to the skin, addresses a topical histamine response and reparative to the skin tissues.

**Skin allergies always have a deeper root in the body, and while treating the surface is supportive, it is important to also address the causes of the topical reaction.

Cleansing Botanical Mists

These sacred mists call on the subtler spiritual properties of the plants, and they can be used as a smudge to cleanse yourself & your energy body and to bring the restoration of our your unique frequency.

Plants have been used in this way since the beginning of time and are sacred allies on the healing journey. Each one is made with a different combination of herbs, bringing together their unique properties in a prayerful way to create these healing blends.

SWEETNESS

This floral water was crafted at a sacred time, a time that holds promise for the quickening of growth of our internal light; it brings the purification necessary to ensure this growth, and helps you to connect to your sacred heart. It is cleansing, and awakens the heart and spirit

RADIANT

Made at the peak of the Summer Solstice, this blend encapsulates the potential of this sacred moment and helps us to stand tall in the beauty and brightness of who we are. Sacred herbs bring illumination and purification to the veils that stand in the way of the highest expression of our sacred radiance. It can be used for purification as well as to bring in these properties to anoint oneself.

About the Maker

Hi! I am Monika Szrek, and I am the founder, formulator, heart and hands behind Living Wisdom Botanicals. Each of these products is an extension of my prayer for our healing and the restoration of our inner and outer balance. They are an avenue for reconnecting with our inner nature, and movement towards living in harmony and reciprocity with the natural world and all that Mother Nature offers us. 

I bring a background of practical western herbalism & Ayurveda together with a deep inner inquiry towards personal liberation, transformation and freedom. Through my personal journey, I started to see that the plants have the capacity to support us on every level of our healing, and that the spiritual and physical are intimately connected. Each product is formulated and intended to support you on all levels of your being – your body, your heart, your mind, and your spirit. Some things are more focused on physiology, for scrapes and aches and pains, and some work with the deeper nuances and subtleties that can manifest in systemic imbalance. I hope that they meet you just where you are, inspire you, and help you to live a healthier and happier life — in harmony, balance and growing Love.
