Medicinal Action
Anti-lithic
Anti-lithic agents work by altering the composition of urine, reducing crystallization, or promoting the gentle breakdown and expulsion of stones. Herbs with anti-lithic properties are often diuretics or have compounds that reduce inflammation and mineral aggregation. Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri), commonly called “stone breaker,” is renowned for its ability to prevent and dissolve kidney and gallstones. Dandelion leaf (Taraxacum officinale) is a diuretic that supports kidney health by flushing out excess minerals. Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens) has a long history of use in soothing and supporting the urinary tract while addressing stone formation. These herbs offer natural and supportive ways to promote urinary tract health and stone prevention.

Prickly Ash
Prickly Ash Bark (Zanthoxylum americanum) is a dynamic, warming tonic that encourages movement, clarity, and vitality. Traditionally used by Indigenous peoples and early North American herbalists, it is valued as a circulatory stimulant and nervine tonic — an ally for those who feel sluggish, chilled, or stagnant.
This vibrant bark enlivens the body’s rivers of circulation, stimulating both blood and lymphatic flow. Its gentle tingling on the tongue reflects its activating nature — awakening digestion, supporting healthy warmth, and promoting awareness in the periphery.
Energetically, Prickly Ash embodies the spark of renewal. It helps encourage a sense of warmth and natural circulation throughout the body, restoring aliveness and gentle momentum.
Crafted through a 60% organic cane ethanol extraction, this tincture preserves the bark’s full aromatic and bitter complexity, capturing its ancient wisdom and vital fire.
Dosage
Take 2-4 mL (approximately 20–40 drops) up to three times daily in a small amount of water or directly on the tongue.
Best taken before meals to support circulation and digestion, or as needed when feeling cold or energetically sluggish.
Pairs well with warming teas and practices that move energy — such as walking, breathwork, or gentle stretching.
Cautions
Generally well-tolerated at suggested dosages. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if you are:
-
Pregnant or nursing
-
Experiencing acute inflammation or hot, dry conditions
-
Managing gastrointestinal irritation or ulcers
-
Taking medications that affect circulation or blood clotting
Avoid excessive use; Prickly Ash is a stimulating herb best used in moderate amounts.

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.

Red Clover (Trifolium pretense)
Historical Use:
Red clover has long been regarded in European and folk herbal traditions as a “blood purifier” and lymphatic tonic. Herbalists used the blossoms as an alterative to support the body’s natural detoxification processes, promote clearer skin, and ease stubborn, lingering congestion. The plant was also valued as a gentle expectorant to relieve coughs and bronchial irritation. Topically, poultices made from red clover were used to soothe rashes, eczema, and wounds.
Current Uses:
Today, red clover is most widely recognized for its phytoestrogenic properties. Isoflavones found in the blossoms have been studied for their ability to modulate estrogen activity, making red clover a common choice for easing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
Red clover also remains an important herb for lymphatic and “blood-cleansing” support in contemporary herbalism, used to promote healthy skin and gentle detoxification. It is sometimes included in formulations for chronic skin conditions, sluggish lymphatic flow, or recovery from long illness.
In cardiovascular health, red clover’s isoflavones have shown potential for improving vascular elasticity and supporting healthy lipid profiles, though research is mixed. Some practitioners also recommend red clover extracts for supporting bone density in postmenopausal women.
Respiratory uses continue today, with red clover being taken as a tea or syrup to support cough relief and promote the expectoration of mucus. Topically, it is used in salves, washes, and poultices to calm inflammatory skin conditions and support wound healing.
