So I'm aging...no surprise, we all are. But my aging process is killing my neck. I ended back at…read morethe chiropractor this past week, and they got me together. I've never been one to do CBD anything, but if you wake up at 3:30am and can't go back to sleep b/c if you lay down your neck may break...you'll try anything. However, I thought I should help myself a little bit more by adding salve to my neck rubs I've been instructed to do. I pass this place every day and finally had a reason to go in. Yall, I got the CBD salve for neck and joints, and it's working my neck out! The owner was super knowledgeable and helpful. She made me a convert. They have all types of things for ailments and enhancements. Go and get stuff.. I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you get.

Donna Troy Cleary is less than one-month old in this neighborhood, but her herbal lineage is…read morethousands of years old, as she descends from Celtic healers on both sides of her family. In addition to being a certified herbalist, she's a RN, a fiber artist, a mother and a grandmother. The story of her development is truly inspiring so you should just drop in to ask her about it, especially if you are wondering how to give yourself the permission to fully acknowledge the dimensionality of your life. Because yes: you can work your day job, pursue crafts, garden, have wonderful relationships, volunteer, lean into running marathons, learn a new language, get serious about starting that organic vegan hot pockets food truck idea, etc. Whatever it is that you do, let Donna hold space for the fullness of your life, with some useful, organic and well-priced herbal healing. Maybe you need some herbal tea as a thirst quencher or as medicine; or hand-crafted CBD balm to ease muscle soreness or as pain management; or perhaps some tincture for a dry, scratchy throat; or a bunch of calendula to make a soothing summertime drink that cools your system? Yup. All of that can be found in this deceptively tiny shop that stocked to hilt as any apothecary should be but don't expect a dark little store with midnight blue velvet drapes, a selection of wands, a bubbling cauldron, crystal balls and butterbeer lol. (All the herbal majik--aka formulas that truly work and are way better for your body than Advil or Pepto Bismol--is crafted elsewhere ;) Instead, you'll walk into an airy, duplex space that feels light and fresh, with open shelves stocking large jars of dried herbs, flowers, seaweeds, plant materials, arranged by color and texture--Donna says that this is the artist in her--that invites the shopper to get pulled in by her curiosity. Herbal folks who know what they want will appreciate that everything is easy to find and because Donna is right there to answer any questions. I was thrilled to find the calendula I needed for my favorite summertime drink and even more so to learn that it was grown upstate. Donna shared that when she's not sourcing directly from small organic farms, she's personally harvesting herbs for her formulations and bulk offerings. Spiral Herbal Remedies used to live in SOHO but since the shop relocated to its Washington Ave spot, (Get Donna to tell you the story of how the splendid old oak tree anchored right in front of the shop is a Celtic symbol symbol of healing that called to her to rent this spot. Goosebumps. Seriously.), the store's stock list is committed to serving its Caribbean and diverse neighborhood's needs. This means lots of Irish Moss (pls note the Celtic connection), imported directly from Jamaica, which is not just for enhanced boom chika bow wow, but also for congestion/mucous and holds anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Irish Moss is also super amazing for dry skin and for skin conditions ranging from eczema to psoriasis. I also saw huge jars of turmeric, and rose petals, etc. easily made into beauty treatments and/or used as driving flavors in Indian, Bangladeshi, Persian, Ethiopian, Latinx cuisines. Bonus: Spiral stocks a few products not made in-house but by local neighborhood crafters and other niche herbalists. Check out the lovely candles (with embedded dried flowers and crystals) and soothing herbal goats' milk soap, too, for yourself and those you love. Finally, Spiral Herbal Remedies has a charming cafe table set up out front where you can take a load off and have a little rest. I love this gesture to the neighborhood best. Maybe I'll see you hanging out there there I swing by next!

The kind where you can tell they actually know how to read the body and not just go through a routine. Every movement felt intentional. Deep where it needed to be. Gentle where it should be. Tension started melting fast. Shoulders dropped. Back loosened up. Mind got quiet. By the end I felt like I had been gone for hours in the best way. What really stood out was how balanced it all felt. Strong pressure without it turning into pain. Smooth transitions. No awkward stops and starts. Just steady, calming work that kept building until I was fully somewhere else. It had that rare quality where your body feels lighter but also more grounded. Like everything got put back where it belonged. Service was excellent. Warm greeting. Easy check-in. Professional the whole way through. You feel taken care of without anyone overdoing it.

I pulled up my confirmation to show them and they quickly started speaking in a different language trying to figure something out. I am a frequent massage go-er, and I can confidently say do NOT waste your money or time here. This was by far the worst massage I have ever gotten, incredibly rough, painful, and dry. The masseuse was either pouring huge amounts of oil on my body for some parts or just aggressively rubbing my skin for others. He was massaging painful joint points & areas most avoid. He even got oil in my eye. I do not believe these therapists are licensed or trained, avoid at ALL costs and save your money. WORST experience in nyc.

Over the last 10 years or so I've had a lot of trouble managing back pain and migraines. For a few…read moreyears, I was bouncing from place to place, not really finding someone I was comfortable seeing on a regular basis. Then, I found someone about 6 years ago who I liked while living in Queens. Once I moved to Brooklyn, I started my search again. Thanks to my gf who introduced me to Charles by buying me a Groupon gift certificate, I didn't have to look too long. As of today, It's been about a year since I started seeing Charles for a monthly massage. While I'm on his table, I have a love/hate relationship with him, but by the time my hour is up, I feel like a different person. Charles is not someone that works with a light touch (unless you've specifically requested that). He is a person that attacks problem areas like he is personally hurt by them. He will dig and press until that stubborn spot cries for forgiveness. I have yelled, cursed and shed tears on his table, and still I find it necessary to see him every month. Do yourself a favor and go see this man. He is a miracle worker.

I've done Reiki a couple of times before but never felt a huge difference. With Deborah, it was different. During the session, Deborah asked questions to understand my needs and concerns. She was positive and warm, and made me feel very comfortable. She also introduced me to flower essences, which I hadn't heard of prior. During the healing session, I yawned a lot (like I was releasing a lot of repressed energy!). Afterwards, I felt relaxed - it was clear that the session truly worked although it wasn't done in person, which I was a little nervous about at first. Deborah also quickly followed up after our session with additional information and promptly responded to a follow up question I had about flower essences. It's been four days since our session, and my chronic neck pain that I've had for 10 weeks is significantly better - in a way my chiropractor couldn't help. I'm really glad I made the investment in my healing session with Deborah and now understand why she has so many positive, genuine reviews (she's not compensating us or giving us discounts to write these, like some businesses do!). I'm very grateful to have found Deborah - she is truly gifted.
