Honoring Women’s History Month: A Legacy of Herbal Wisdom
By Jhoane Robinson, Herbalist & Co-Founder of Cedar Bear Naturales
Ok, ladies, this one’s for us! For centuries, women have been the heart of health and wellness in their families and communities. From ancient healers and midwives to herbalists and wise women, they have passed down knowledge of nature’s remedies, ensuring the well-being of generations. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we honor the legacy of women as caregivers and the deep-rooted traditions of herbalism that continue to thrive today.
Throughout history, women across cultures have relied on herbs to support overall wellness, balance, and vitality. Whether it was the village healer in Europe, the traditional medicine women in Indigenous communities, or the grandmothers and mothers in every home who brewed teas and made homemade remedies, women’s wisdom and knowledge in using plants for health have been invaluable. These traditions, often passed down from mother to daughter, have shaped the foundation of natural health practices we still cherish and are even rediscovering today.
At Cedar Bear, we are dedicated to supporting women's health. We take pride in continuing this legacy with our new Women’s Line of herbal formulas—designed to address women’s unique wellness needs at every stage of life. Utilizing our proprietary TincTract® process, we offer alcohol-free liquid herbal formulas that deliver the benefits and wisdom of Nature, in harmony with the traditions of herbal care that women have cultivated for centuries.
Essential Health Tips for Women
I’m speaking from personal experience. When my children were young, my boys were preschoolers at the time my twins were born! Here are my top health tips for you:
1. The Importance of Getting Enough Sleep:
Sleep is vital for overall well-being, yet it’s something we often don’t receive enough of! It enables the body to recover, regulate hormones, and maintain emotional balance. Insufficient sleep can affect mood, energy levels, and even immune function. Prioritizing restorative sleep supports long-term health and vitality. (See Sleep & Calming for Women)
2. The Importance of Drinking Enough Pure Water:
Staying hydrated is essential for digestion, circulation, and overall cellular function, making it important year-round. Drinking sufficient pure water aids the body in flushing out toxins, maintaining energy, and supporting skin health. Prioritize hydration daily for optimal wellness.
3. The Importance of Taking Time for Self-Care:
As women, we often devote so much time and energy to caring for others that we neglect our own needs. Prioritizing self-care—whether through rest, nutrition, relaxation, or herbal support—is vital for maintaining balance and ensuring long-term well-being. (See the women’s formulas information that follows.)
4. The Importance of Eating Healthily:
Food is your best medicine! Ditch the junk foods, snack foods, and sugary drinks! You need to nourish your body with nutrition. Eat whole foods and consume as many organic options as possible. (Check out Woman’s Daily, Woman’s Blood Builder, Glow & Grow for nutrient support, and Slimmer Woman and Sugar Balance to help reduce snack cravings.)
