Burdock (Arctium lappa) Root
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 regenerative growers and the renewal of our soil, communities, and connection to the earth.
Blood Purifier:
Burdock has been traditionally used as a blood purifier due to its ability to detoxify the blood and promote the elimination of toxins through the skin and urinary system. In both Western herbalism and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is commonly used to treat skin disorders and improve overall blood circulation.
Skin Health:
Burdock has long been valued for its role in treating skin conditions like eczema, acne, psoriasis, and boils. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make it a popular remedy for clearing up chronic skin problems by addressing internal imbalances and promoting detoxification through the skin.
Liver and Digestive Health:
Burdock root is used as a liver tonic, supporting liver function and improving the body’s natural detoxification processes. In Ayurveda and Western herbalism, it is used to promote digestion, relieve indigestion, and support a healthy balance of gut flora due to its high content of inulin, a prebiotic fiber.
Diuretic:
Burdock has traditionally been used as a diuretic, encouraging the excretion of excess water and toxins through the urine. This makes it effective in treating fluid retention, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections.
Anti-inflammatory:
Due to its potent anti-inflammatory properties, Burdock is used to treat conditions like arthritis and rheumatism, particularly in cases where inflammation causes joint pain and stiffness.

California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)
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 regenerative growers and the renewal of our soil, communities, and connection to the earth.
Uses:
Nervine and Sedative:
California poppy has been traditionally used as a gentle nervine and sedative to calm the nervous system. It is especially beneficial for people dealing with stress, anxiety, nervous tension, and insomnia. Unlike stronger sedatives, California poppy provides a soothing effect without causing grogginess, making it perfect for those needing to relax while staying alert.
Pain Relief:
In traditional herbal medicine, California poppy has been used as a mild analgesic for relieving pain, particularly in cases of muscle tension, headaches, nerve pain, and neuralgias. It is also effective in treating migraines and stress-related discomfort.
Normalizing Effect:
California poppy is known for its normalizing effect on both physical and psychological symptoms. It helps with issues such as nervous bowel, depression, anxiety, and even hyperactivity in children. This balancing effect on the nervous system makes it a versatile remedy for many types of nervous system imbalances.
Children’s Herb (Sleep, Bedwetting, Colic, and Crankiness):
Because of its gentle nature, California poppy has been safely used for children dealing with sleep disturbances, anxiety, bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), colic, and crankiness. Its calming effects on the nervous system help promote restful sleep and reduce nighttime anxiety. In some traditions, it has been used to help children relax before bedtime and support nervous system balance, which may reduce bedwetting and colic episodes related to emotional stress or nervousness.
Circular Thoughts:
California poppy is also effective in calming circular thoughts that prevent sleep. For those who struggle with racing minds that loop over anxious or repetitive thoughts, California poppy helps to quiet mental chatter and promote more restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Digestive Support:
California poppy is also used for its effects on the digestive system, particularly when stress or emotional imbalances cause digestive upset. Its relaxing properties can help soothe nervous stomachs and cramps related to anxiety.
