Medicinal Action
Coronary vasodilator
Coronary vasodilators work by relaxing the smooth muscles of the coronary arteries, reducing resistance and increasing oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart. These agents are particularly beneficial for conditions like angina, coronary artery disease, or hypertension. Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is a gentle yet effective coronary vasodilator that improves blood flow to the heart and supports cardiovascular health. Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) relaxes cardiac tension and enhances blood flow to the heart muscle. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) supports circulation and may help promote coronary vasodilation. These herbs provide a natural approach to improving heart function and maintaining coronary 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.

-
