The endocannabinoid system plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis, or balance, among the body’s many subsystems.

Cannabinoid receptors are found in tissues throughout the body – and they occur abundantly in the skin.  

The gateway between the depths of winter and the awakening of spring never fails to amaze me. The energy of Aries seems to sweep us all back into the emerging light filled days.

A note of love before we begin: we recommend speaking with a trusted medical professional before folding CBD products into your self-care regimen.  When it comes to figuring out the right CBD dosage whether for pain, anxiety, or inflammation, focus, depression, sleep, gut health or overall well-being the path forward is 100% personal and one of the best things you can do is to listen.   Mostly, there will be the sound of your body reminding you: everything you already need is inside you.

Fe Earth to Body was born out of struggle and transition, both my own. After the passing of the 2018 farm bill, my partner Joel and I transitioned to farming high-CBD hemp on a parcel of land in the high desert of Central Oregon. Within the first days of unearthing this newly sanctioned relationship with growing, we also welcomed the life of our daughter Shasta. To say the least, that year was a wild and beautiful tempest.
