Rose petals (Rosa centifolia)
Our sourcing partners uphold fair wages, safe working conditions, and inclusive practices that value the hands and hearts behind each harvest.
Every bag supports small-scale growers and the renewal of our soil, our communities, and our connection to the earth.
Roses have been revered across cultures for their beauty, fragrance, and medicinal virtues. Ancient Persian and Roman physicians used Rosa damascena and Rosa gallica in the preparation of rosewater and rose oil, valued for treating infections, inflammatory skin conditions, and emotional disturbances. Rosa gallica, known as the “Apothecary’s Rose,” became a cornerstone of European herbalism, cultivated for its astringent and tonic effects that supported wound healing, menstrual regularity, and digestive balance.
In North America, Indigenous peoples such as the Coast Salish and other tribes used the rose hips from wild species like Rosa nutkana as a concentrated source of vitamin C—brewed into teas and syrups to strengthen resilience during colds, fevers, and times of nutritional scarcity.

Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm)
Our sourcing partners uphold fair wages, safe working conditions, and inclusive practices that value the hands and hearts behind each harvest.
Every bag supports small-scale growers and the renewal of our soil, our communities, and our connection to the earth.
For centuries, Lemon Balm has been celebrated in European and Mediterranean herbal traditions as a calming and uplifting herb for the spirit. It was prized by Greek and Roman physicians for easing melancholy and nervous tension, and by medieval monastic herbalists for promoting restful sleep and gentle digestion. Its aromatic, lemony leaves were steeped in teas and tinctures to soothe anxiety, relieve indigestion, and comfort the heart in times of emotional strain.
Current Uses:
-
Anxiety & Mood Support: Helps reduce stress and anxiety while gently uplifting the mood and promoting mental clarity.
-
Digestive Health: Soothes upset stomach, gas, and bloating—especially when symptoms stem from emotional tension.
-
Sleep Aid: Encourages relaxation and supports restorative sleep; often combined with valerian or lavender for synergistic calm.
-
Cognitive Support: Improves focus and concentration while easing overstimulation.
-
Antiviral Action (Topical): Research suggests that Lemon Balm’s antiviral effects—particularly against the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1)—are most pronounced in fresh-plant preparations or high-quality extracts, where volatile oils and polyphenolic compounds like rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid are best preserved. Topical applications made from fresh or recently dried leaves have shown efficacy in reducing the duration and discomfort of cold sores.
