Flower Power: Plants with Healing Properties

Minnesota herbalist Kali Higgins discusses the healing power of plants.

Moon River Wellness herbalist Kali Higgins believes in the healing potential of nature. Higgins uses herbal tinctures to help clients with physical ailments and flower essences to aid spiritual, mental, physical and emotional struggles. She says that individuals respond differently to various plants and flowers; she provides pulse tests to help clients distinguish which herbs work best for their body. “I listen to people’s stories and the stories of the plants to understand how they can work together,” Higgins says. She stocks more than 50 local plants and makes many of the herbal tinctures herself. She offers classes on wellness, yoga, meditation and herbs, and leads day and weekend retreats.
