How Caribbean Herbs Help Heal Emotional Wounds Stored in the Body

How Caribbean Herbs Help Heal Emotional Wounds Stored in the Body

Most people think of healing herbs as remedies for physical symptoms—but what if the real illness starts deeper?

Emotional wounds don’t just live in the mind. When left unprocessed, they store themselves in the body—as chronic tension, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, skin issues, gut problems, and even autoimmune conditions.

That’s why at Seva, we work with powerful, native herbs from the Caribbean of Costa Rica that not only support the body—but also clear emotional residue, restore energetic flow, and help you come home to yourself.

Here are some of the wildcrafted plant allies we use—and how they support the healing of emotional wounds that have manifested physically.

 

At Seva Farm we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality remedies the Caribbean of Costa Rica has to offer. Find all of the following on our website www.sevaseamoss.com

Healing Is More Than Herbs

While these plants are powerful on their own, their real magic comes when paired with:

Ceremony or prayer

Somatic practices (like breathwork or movement)

Rest and presence in nature

Inner reflection and integration

This is what we offer through our products—and at our Sacred Reset retreats here at Seva. Healing isn’t about numbing symptoms. It’s about clearing what no longer serves, restoring your energy, and remembering who you are.
