					<description><![CDATA[<p data-start="765" data-end="1092"><strong data-start="765" data-end="785">Prickly Ash Bark</strong> (<em data-start="787" data-end="811">Zanthoxylum americanum</em>) 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 <em data-start="986" data-end="1009">circulatory stimulant</em> and <em data-start="1014" data-end="1029">nervine tonic</em> — an ally for those who feel sluggish, chilled, or stagnant.</p>
<p data-start="1094" data-end="1356">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.</p>
<p data-start="1358" data-end="1540">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.</p>
<p data-start="1542" data-end="1719">Crafted through a <strong data-start="1560" data-end="1599">60% organic cane ethanol extraction</strong>, this tincture preserves the bark’s full aromatic and bitter complexity, capturing its ancient wisdom and vital fire.</p>


<hr data-start="1721" data-end="1724" />

<h3 data-start="1726" data-end="1742"><strong data-start="1730" data-end="1740">Dosage</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1743" data-end="1992">Take 2-4<strong data-start="1748" data-end="1786"> mL (approximately 20–40 drops)</strong> up to <strong data-start="1793" data-end="1814">three times daily</strong> in a small amount of water or directly on the tongue.<br data-start="1868" data-end="1871" />Best taken before meals to support circulation and digestion, or as needed when feeling cold or energetically sluggish.</p>
<p data-start="1994" data-end="2108">Pairs well with warming teas and practices that move energy — such as walking, breathwork, or gentle stretching.</p>


<hr data-start="2110" data-end="2113" />

<h3 data-start="2115" data-end="2133"><strong data-start="2119" data-end="2131">Cautions</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2134" data-end="2245">Generally well-tolerated at suggested dosages. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if you are:</p>

<ul data-start="2246" data-end="2444">
 	<li data-start="2246" data-end="2269">
<p data-start="2248" data-end="2269">Pregnant or nursing</p>
</li>
 	<li data-start="2270" data-end="2328">
<p data-start="2272" data-end="2328">Experiencing acute inflammation or hot, dry conditions</p>
</li>
 	<li data-start="2329" data-end="2379">
<p data-start="2331" data-end="2379">Managing gastrointestinal irritation or ulcers</p>
</li>
 	<li data-start="2380" data-end="2444">
<p data-start="2382" data-end="2444">Taking medications that affect circulation or blood clotting</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2446" data-end="2533">Avoid excessive use; Prickly Ash is a stimulating herb best used in moderate amounts.</p>]]></description>
