“My motivation to create Cedar Rose Botanicals started after I had a traumatic snowboarding injury that affected my spine. I went from having easy, carefree periods to debilitating, painful cramps for multiple days each month. My love of plants as medicine and determination to find a non-pharmaceutical way to ease my pain led me to create what is now the CRAMP DROP.

Plants have always served as a powerful ally to me during hard times. Whether it’s a warm cup of tea, a potent aromatic essential oil, or a home cooked, healthy meal these tools have helped to reduce my pain and shift my mood. I want to empower you with the tools to support you on your healing journey.”
