About Us
We are an organic botanica committed to providing affordable pain and self care organic medicines. our focus is on womb health (as Hope has learned womb health reflects whole body health) and self care using herbal medicines, and have recently begun growing natural edible and medicinal mushrooms at home to start to provide for our community.
Look out for mushroom medicines coming soon!
Luna Xóchitl means “moon flower”. Luna - moon in Spanish and Xóchitl - flower in Nahuatl, one of the many indigenous languages of Mexico and the language of my ancestors. It is an ode to my work with plant medicine and the cycles of nature and our womb. LX is owned by husband and wife Hope and Justin. Together we craft medicine blending scientific knowledge and indigenous wisdom. Most of the herbs we use are native to the Americas and used in Mexican traditional and indigenous herbalism. We live and are licensed as a hemp processor in so called Vermont on Abenaki lands, and craft our Apothecary using our own or locally grown CBD flower, and wildcrafted, home grown, and organic herbs only. We take pride in our high quality, high potency, and environmentally friendly process and products as a solventless hemp processor.
We are a licensed hemp farmer and processor in Vermont. Hope and Justin are both herbalists and Hope is a postpartum doula and sweat lodge leader in training through direct lineage Mexican teachers in both Mexico and the US.
Our Story
Both me and Justin's health journey has been long and winding, and like many in our country in broken systems often without health insurance, and where western medicine fails even when we have access to it. We have both had to navigate healing naturally through movement, meditation, and of course plants. Justin has scoliosis, and a typical neurodivergent autistic combination of hypermobility, ADHD, bad posture, and habits. He also has chronic lyme we are slowly treating with herbs which creates joint and nerve pain. Cannabis and CBD has been the only thing to help him with his chronic pain and seizures.
Hope got into yoga and pain relief after a lumbar spine fracture when she was young playing competitive softball that western medicine could'nt fully heal. She also developed painful PMDD and was determined to heal her cycle and hormones without birth control naturally.
Living in Vermont in 2018, CBD became legal and started popping up everywhere. We had always grown weed ourselves, and it was exciting to have a legal version of it. As Hope was pursuing art, teaching art, and teaching yoga, Justin started experimenting extracting CBD naturally through a solventless process, the same process of hashmaking that was hundreds of years old and becoming popular in THC cannabis as well.
As we continue working with this plant, we continue to find more benefits from it including anxiety relief, sleep help, gut health, and skin healing. CBD is truly an all around remedio, which is what we named our tincture. Although CBD is a focus we also study and share our other herbal medicines that help us manage our health and my cycle, and Hope is developing blends and medicines to share and help people naturally balance themselves. She is also studying Mexican Traditional Medicine including postpartum care, sweat lodges, and curanderismo with teachers both in the US and Mexico.
We hope to one day have an herbal and mushroom farm, with a healing space where we can teach workshops, have community events, hold sweats and ceremonies, and connect to indigenous, BIPOC and mexican folk in particular to recclaim our traditional medicinal practices and health. Thank you for supporting our medicine journey!
