Formulated dry by my teacher in Belize, Dr. Rosita, & Handspun with Love by me, Rusty Moon Botanicals

These herbal remedies are what Dr. Rosita calls salvaged botany. Meaning any land being burned our bulldozed, she sends a few foragers out that pick in traditional Maya fashion, which is calling to the spirit of the plant first, prior to picking. When one honors & gives thanks to plant first, the physical medicine is present & potent.

Dr. Rosita Arvigo and Tradition
Rosita spent twelve years as Don Ejilio Panti’s apprentice in Maya medicine. The training included leaving his ancient abdominal massage techniques and basic treatment protocols for his patients. In 1990 Rosita met Miss Hortence Robinson, a well- known herbal midwife who taught her more about the techniques and their benefits to pregnant women.

Rosita has given throughout the years to communities she helped to form Ix Chel Tropical Research in 1993 to provide traditional healers a local voice and international forum. She was a part of the Ethnobotany project bringing together traditional healers and their medicinal plants to help the National Cancer Institute research on AIDS and cancer and sprouted the Bush Medicine Camp for kids in 1998 to explore medicinal plants, ethnobotany and traditional healing. They also have gaggles of fun!
