Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
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:
Historical Uses:
Yarrow has been used for millennia by various cultures for its wound-healing and styptic properties. Ancient Greek soldiers reportedly used it on the battlefield to stop bleeding and treat wounds, giving rise to its association with Achilles. Native American tribes also utilized Yarrow for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, applying it topically to cuts, sores, and insect bites. In European folk medicine, it was used to reduce fevers, support digestion, and treat respiratory conditions. Yarrow was often used as a protective herb in magical practices, believed to ward off evil spirits and negative energy.
Current Uses:
- Wound healing: Yarrow is commonly used as a topical treatment for minor cuts, scrapes, and insect bites, due to its anti-inflammatory, astringent, and antiseptic properties.
- Styptic: Applied externally, Yarrow helps stop bleeding, making it useful for nosebleeds and small injuries.
- Digestive aid: Yarrow can be taken internally to stimulate digestion and relieve indigestion, cramps, and gas.
- Anti-inflammatory: Yarrow’s anti-inflammatory actions help reduce swelling and promote healing in both internal and external applications.
- Fever reduction: Used in teas or tinctures, Yarrow is helpful for promoting sweating and reducing fevers during colds and flu.
- Urinary support: Yarrow acts as a diuretic, supporting kidney function and urinary health.

Ashwagandha Root
A deeply restorative adaptogen, Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera) has been treasured in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries for its ability to strengthen resilience and restore balance. Known as a “rasayana” or rejuvenative tonic, it supports the body’s natural capacity to adapt to life’s daily stressors and maintain equilibrium across the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.
This tincture offers a stabilizing, grounding energy — not stimulating, but harmonizing. It helps moderate the body’s stress response, nourishing depleted reserves and supporting healthy adrenal function over time.
Crafted through a 60% organic cane ethanol extraction to preserve its full spectrum of constituents, this formula embodies the adaptogenic principle described by herbalist David Winston: to normalize rather than force, to strengthen rather than overstimulate, and to build vitality that endures.
Like the resilient root itself, Ashwagandha invites you to slow your rhythm, find your center, and cultivate calm strength from within.
Dosage
Take 2–4 mL (approximately 40–80 drops) up to three times daily in a small amount of water or directly on the tongue.
Best taken consistently over time for cumulative benefit, particularly during periods of emotional strain, fatigue, or high output.
Pairs well with restorative practices such as breathwork, yoga nidra, journaling, or quiet moments in nature.
Cautions
Generally well-tolerated. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if you are:
-
Pregnant or nursing
-
Sensitive to plants in the nightshade (Solanaceae) family
-
Managing hemochromatosis (excess iron) or hyperthyroid conditions
-
Taking sedatives or thyroid medications
Discontinue use if any adverse effects occur.
Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)
Historical Uses:
Skullcap has a long history of use by Native American tribes for its calming effects on the nervous system, particularly in cases of anxiety and nervous tension. It was also used in early American medicine for treating conditions such as hysteria, rabies, and convulsions—which is how it earned the nickname Mad Dog Skullcap. Historically, it was often given to individuals suffering from nervous disorders to soothe the mind and promote sleep.
Current Uses:
- Nervous system support: Skullcap is widely used today to address anxiety, stress, and nervous tension. It is known for its ability to calm frazzled nerves without causing drowsiness.
- Sleep aid: While not as sedative as other herbs, Skullcap is often used as a mild sleep aid, particularly for individuals whose insomnia is caused by overthinking or mental stress.
- Headache relief: Skullcap is also used to relieve tension headaches, especially those associated with stress or emotional overwhelm.
- Muscle relaxation: Known for its antispasmodic properties, Skullcap can help relieve muscle tension and spasms, making it beneficial for muscular pain or cramps.

Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis)
Historical Uses:
Valeriana officinalis has been used since ancient Greece and Rome as a nervine tonic, where it was prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, and nervous disorders. In medieval Europe, it was often called “All-Heal” for its versatile uses in treating wounds, pain, and restlessness. Valeriana sitchensis, on the other hand, was traditionally used by indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest for calming the mind, treating fevers, and enhancing dreams during spiritual rituals.
Current Uses:
- Valeriana officinalis: Widely used as a powerful sleep aid, this species is known for addressing insomnia, restlessness, and anxiety. Its fast-acting effects make it a favorite in herbal sleep and anxiety formulas.
- Valeriana sitchensis: A more gentle alternative, often used for mild anxiety, tension headaches, and to soothe the nervous system without the stronger sedative effects of V. officinalis. It is also valued in spiritual practices for its ability to enhance dreamwork and support emotional clarity.

Mullein Leaf (Verbascum thapsus)
Historical Use:
Mullein has a long history of use in European folk medicine and among many Native American nations as a soothing herb for the lungs. The leaves and flowers were commonly brewed as a tea or smoked to ease coughs, bronchitis, and asthma. The plant’s soft, velvety leaves were applied as poultices to calm inflammation and promote healing of burns, wounds, and skin irritations. Mullein flowers were traditionally infused into oil to relieve earaches and reduce pain and swelling in the ear.
Current Uses:
Mullein remains a popular respiratory remedy. Its expectorant and demulcent properties help thin and move mucus, making coughs more productive and easing breathing during colds, bronchitis, and other congestive conditions. Teas, tinctures, and syrups are frequently used to soothe sore throats and support overall lung health.
Externally, mullein is applied in infused oils, poultices, and compresses to calm irritation, reduce inflammation, and assist with wound healing. Mullein flower oil continues to be a staple in ear drop preparations to ease ear discomfort and support a healthy inflammatory response.
Beyond respiratory and topical uses, mullein is sometimes used to soothe irritated mucous membranes in the digestive tract and gently support elimination when there is dryness or inflammation.

Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica)
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.
Nettle has a long tradition of use across Europe and Asia as a strengthening spring tonic, valued for its ability to “cleanse the blood” and restore vitality after the winter months. Fresh nettles were sometimes used for urtication — intentionally brushed on the skin — to stimulate circulation and relieve joint pain or stiffness.
Current Uses:
Nettle leaf is now widely recognized as a nutrient-rich herb, abundant in vitamins A, C, K, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. The leaf is taken as tea, infusion, or food to replenish nutrients, support general health, and gently build strength. Its anti-inflammatory actions make it a key ally for easing arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness. Many herbalists recommend nettle leaf for reducing seasonal allergies and supporting clear, healthy breathing, likely due to its influence on histamine pathways.
Nettle leaf is also used to encourage healthy kidney and urinary function and is considered mildly diuretic, supporting the removal of excess fluids. Externally and internally, nettle leaf has been used to support healthy skin and hair, helping reduce dandruff, strengthen hair, and soothe skin conditions such as eczema.
Nettle root is distinct in its action, most notably used to support urinary flow and prostate health in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is also considered mildly astringent and has been traditionally used to address excessive bleeding.
Nettle seed is prized as a nutritive tonic, rich in fatty acids and micronutrients. Contemporary herbalists use nettle seed as a rejuvenative herb, sometimes referred to as an adaptogen, to support energy, endurance, and overall vitality.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
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.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has a long history of use as a nourishing tonic. Traditional herbalists valued it as a “food herb” to help restore strength, vitality, and general health. Its leaves were often prepared as a tea or eaten fresh to support recovery from illness and improve nutritional status.
Current Uses:
Nutritional Support: Alfalfa is rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Today, it is used as a nutrient-dense infusion to help replenish minerals and support overall wellness.
Digestive Health: Alfalfa has been used to stimulate appetite and ease digestion, supporting conditions like mild gastritis, bloating, and sluggish digestion.
Anti-inflammatory Support: The leaves contain compounds with mild anti-inflammatory properties, traditionally used to reduce discomfort from arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness.
Blood and Organ Support: Alfalfa is still regarded by herbalists as a “blood purifier,” believed to support healthy liver and kidney function, aiding in detoxification and promoting clearer skin and better overall vitality.
Hormonal Support: Due to its natural phytoestrogen content, alfalfa is used in modern herbalism to help support women experiencing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes or irregular cycles.
Diuretic: Alfalfa may gently increase urine flow, helping to relieve water retention and support urinary tract health.
Cardiovascular Health: Modern research and tradition both support the use of alfalfa to help manage cholesterol levels and maintain healthy circulation.

Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum)
Uses
Fever Reduction (Febrifuge):
Boneset is primarily known for its use in breaking fevers. Historically, it was used to promote sweating, helping the body cool down during high fevers caused by the flu, colds, or infections. Its diaphoretic action makes it highly effective for reducing body temperature naturally.
Treatment of Influenza and Cold Symptoms:
Traditionally, Boneset was a key herb in treating influenza and severe colds. It helps to alleviate body aches, chills, and congestion associated with these conditions. Native American tribes, particularly the Delaware and Iroquois, valued Boneset for its ability to relieve the “bone-breaking” pain that often accompanies these illnesses.
Digestive Support:
Boneset was also used as a mild laxative and digestive tonic. It helps relieve constipation and is thought to support the liver, promoting detoxification and improving overall digestive health.
Anti-inflammatory and Pain Relief:
Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Boneset has traditionally been used to relieve rheumatic pains and other joint discomforts. It is particularly beneficial for treating inflammatory conditions that affect the bones, joints, and muscles.
Immune Support:
Boneset has historically been used to boost the immune system, particularly during viral infections. It helps to strengthen the body’s defenses, speeding recovery and preventing the recurrence of illness.

Live Organic Milk Kefir Grains
PROBIOTICS & YEASTS
Kefir grains contain a diverse community of approximately 30–60 species of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, including Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, and Saccharomyces species. These microorganisms produce enzymes and short-chain fatty acids that support digestion and metabolic health. They adhere to intestinal cells, strengthen the mucosal barrier, improve lactose digestion, and help regulate immune function.
ORGANIC ACIDS
During fermentation, kefir microbes produce organic acids—primarily lactic and acetic acid. These compounds lower gut pH, creating an environment that inhibits harmful and pathogenic bacteria. In combination with naturally occurring ethanol (trace amounts) and bacteriocins, they support a balanced and resilient gut ecosystem.
BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES
Milk proteins are broken down during fermentation into bioactive peptides. These compounds have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-modulating effects. They help regulate inflammatory signaling and may reduce intestinal inflammation associated with chronic conditions.
KEFIRAN
Kefiran is a unique polysaccharide produced by kefir cultures that forms the structural matrix of the grains. It functions as a prebiotic, selectively feeding beneficial bacteria. Kefiran has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may enhance mucosal immunity by increasing secretory IgA.
CONTRAINDICATIONS & PRECAUTIONS
Kefir is generally well tolerated; however, use caution if you are:
• Pregnant or breastfeeding (limited research available) • Immunocompromised (live cultures may pose risk) • Sensitive to dairy or histamines
When first introducing kefir, mild symptoms such as bloating, cramping, or constipation may occur. Kefir contains trace amounts of naturally occurring alcohol due to fermentation; individuals taking medications such as disulfiram should avoid use. Consult a healthcare professional if you have underlying conditions or are on immunosuppressive therapy.
