Who we are
I'm Lizzy McDonald, founder of New Body Remedies, Limited Edition Ritual Herbal Remedies + Medicines for the New Body.
In 2012, after years of struggles with addiction and mental health issues, I turned to nature for healing. Simple plant walks evolved into profound medicine journeys. Plant communion became my flow state. Working with plants is a romance, a healing, a worship of myself and the natural world. It’s my church, my prayer, my offering, my holy communion. Later I learned I come from a 400 year old lineage of Southern Italian medicine makers. This practice is in my blood and bones.
The herbal medicines I create serve as allies for the soul, addressing deep-rooted needs. My role is to listen to the plants and craft healing remedies—spirit, body, and mind medicine.
This is spirit medicine. Its body medicine. It is mind medicine as its devotionally taken, in service to the New Body.
Our chosen name, New Body Remedies, describes the ability of these medicines to bring folks into their New Bodies.
The New Body is the New You. The one who responds to life instead of reacts. The wise one. The one who has plenty of space to be with charged situations, triggers, and feelings and regulate the nervous system. The one who recognizes the wounded child, the smaller self, and tends to it.
The new body is woven with the habits and practices that support your peace, joy, and pleasure.
