Welcome to La Artemisia Herbal Medicines
La Artemisia was created to, first and foremost, bring herbal medicine back to the people and to reignite our innate connection to the natural world.
I seek to share knowledge about the relationship between plants and the self, so that people may find empowerment on their healing journey and live in reciprocity with the land.
My Philosophy
Hi, I’m Celine, The way I engage with plant medicine through my work at La Artemisia is based on animistic practices —the understanding that all living things have an animated, living spirit. It is my intention to treat every body and every plant with reverence, respect, and the acknowledgement that all beings are sovereign.
My work aims to bridge the traditional healing knowledge of the ancestors with our modern human experience to help guide us on this healing journey.
What is Herbalism?
Herbalism is an ancient form of medicine based on traditional knowledge of plants developed throughout generations of people and cultures around the world. Today, the practice of herbalism combines modern understandings of biochemistry and physiology, traditional knowledge, and ancient diagnostic tools to create a holistic understanding of healing. Plants are powerful allies used both physically and spiritually to help bring the body, mind, and spirit back into a state of harmony.

It is about creating deep relationship with the natural world. To be in relationship with all things, is to be in reciprocity as well. The plants give their medicine so abundantly, and we take care of them in return. The path of herbalism calls us to open our hearts and minds to the healing power within nature and within ourselves. We learn to listen: to the plants, the trees, the animals, and our bodies. After all, the earth is a part of us as much as we are a part of her.

La Luna Tea
CA$25.00
35g - 13 oz
This blend is a combination of two herbs: Mugwort and Lavender helping to connect you more deeply with your dreams. This blend is meant to be used daily and ritualistically to be most effective at helping with dream recall and integration. Its simplicity gives you the opportunity to get to know the star of this blend and her magic: Mugwort.
Mugwort is a herb that has been used throughout history for various ailments. It is a slightly bitter herb that also tastes very earthy. This bitter action directs the flow of energy and blood downwards in the body, anchoring us more deeply into the earth. This action is the reason Mugwort is useful for slow and sluggish digestion as well as stagnation in the uterus. Yet, Mugwort also contains volatile oils that evoke a sense of calm without being sedating. These compounds tend to calm the nervous system and shift our perception of the world. The dualistic nature of this plant, grounding yet mind expanding, seems to be at the heart of it’s connection to the dreamtime.
Our dreams offer us a deep look at the inner landscapes of our subconscious. They offer us a different way of looking at what our conscious mind may be missing. By working with our dreams we open ourselves to the potential of deep healing as well as tapping into our creative energy.
Lavender adds an extra layer of relaxation and is a really amazing herb for helping us "‘let go”. Together, these herbs are an effective combination for bringing us closer to remembering and integrating our dreams with our waking reality. For best results, drink on a daily basis with the intention of connecting to your dreams.
Ingredients*: Mugwort & Lavender
