YONI EGGS    HERBAL BLENDS    INFUSED OILS

Whole Woman Apothecary is a nurturing environment where women are welcomed home into the understanding that the temple they have been blessed with here on earth is indeed sacred and to honor that temple gives glory to the one who created it. 

​

Through our work, we pay tribute to our patron saint, St.Hildegard von Bingen, with our love of God, who is at work in nature and is revealed in its beauty and bountiful gifts. St. Hildegard von Bingen lived from 1098 to 1179. She was a Benedictine nun, mystic, musician, writer, philosopher, theologian, and medical practitioner who wrote extensively on the use of various herbs and crystals. In 2012 she was named a Doctor of the Church. 

​

We believe that crystals, gemstones, and herbs are living expressions of God’s creation, reflecting his divine nature through the gifts they offer us. We do not attribute this power to the creation itself but to the creator who works through all things.

A Word on Self-Love

 

What does it mean to love yourself?

Self-love is not inherently selfish. But it can be if it is not combined with self-discipline and a great love for God and neighbor. Sadly, our current culture has twisted this concept. Self-love is misdirected if it only aims to appease every personal desire of the flesh. This will only make us slaves to our lower nature, constantly chasing after that which brings temporary pleasure.

​

We show true love and compassion to ourselves when we allow God to walk with us through our journey and guide us along our path. When God dwells with us, we become strengthened to share that love with others. Love is not simply an emotion or words of affection. Love is expressed through actions that exhibit a genuine desire to care for the ultimate good of all. True self-love is not just a gift we give ourselves, it is a gift we give to others and is a reflection of God’s perfect love that he shares with us.
