a better way to heal

Our Formulas

Pure ingredients for potent results

We select only the finest herbs that are Certified organic, pesticide-free, and harvested sustainably. Our commitment to quality ensures vibrant, potent, and consistent herbal goods .

Curating Plant Synergy

Synergy is the theory that when two or more substances interact, the combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. In herbalism, some herbs can enhance each other's effects when combined, making them more effective in a blend than on their own.

The active compounds in one herb can enhance the absorption, effectiveness, or even the longevity of the compounds in another.

Small-batch production

As a small business, we craft our products in small batches. This approach allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality and consistency, ensuring that each item receives the attention and care it deserves.

Alcohol Free Formulas

Alcohol-free tinctures can be a good option for people who are sensitive to alcohol, such as children, pregnant women and recovering alcoholics. Our tinctures are made with USP grade Glycerin and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar.

I’m not feeling or seeing effects from my herbs. Can I take more than the suggested serving size?

If you’re a seasoned herb user and you have taken our formulas in the past, you may want to experiment with taking more than the recommended serving. However, if you’re new to herbs or you haven’t used our herbal formulas much in the past, we recommend using less than the recommended amount and building up your serving amounts over time. Our general rule is to not take more than 3 teaspoons or servings in one sitting. Some formulas, especially ones dealing with hormone imbalances may take 1-3 months for you to notice their effects. They key is consistency even when you do not see immediate results.
How and when should I take my herbal formulas?

Each product is different and can be taken in a number of ways depending on your preference and previous exposure to herbs. Some are best taken with water while others are best with food, in smoothies, juices, milk, and tea. Review our recommendations on how to take your specific herbal formulas on the bottle of each product.

Herbs vary in their effects on the body. While some herbs can be mixed with medication, others may cause complications. Everyone is different and may be affected by herbal ingredients differently. Consult with your medical provider to discuss which herbal combinations would work with your current medication routine.
How many formulas can I take at once?

If you’re a seasoned herbal medicine user, you can take several formulas at the same time. If you’re new to herbs, refer to your formula’s use instructions to decide how much and when to take them. It's a good rule of thumb to go low and slow. Use very little amounts of the herbal formulas until you’re certain the effects are positive, then if everything looks good, you can experiment with using more and combining different herbal formulas.

While the majority of our ingredients are certified organic and non-GMO, some ingredients may be wildcrafted and/or cultivated without chemicals, pesticides, genetic modification, or radiation treatment. Wildcrafted ingredients are harvested from their natural habitats while being careful to leave the mother plant(s) in good condition to ensure the practice is regenerative and protects endangered species. However, they cannot be certified as such because they are not under the control of growers and processors. These ingredients go through rigorous organoleptic testing, pesticide, chemical, and heavy metal testing to ensure purity.
