🌻 A Note from the Herbalist

Spirulina is a daily tonic for strength and radiance — a single spoonful holds the energy of sunlight, minerals, and deep ocean vitality.
I often recommend it as part of a beauty-from-within routine alongside herbs like burdock, nettle, and sea moss.
When used consistently, it enhances skin tone, energy levels, and emotional brightness.

“Glow from within — your vitality is your light.”
