Medicinal Action
Mental Performance
Mental performance reflects the brain’s ability to process information, solve problems, and maintain concentration under varying conditions. Optimizing mental performance involves supporting brain health through proper nutrition, adequate rest, and stress management. Herbs like ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), bacopa (Bacopa monnieri), and rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) are traditionally used to enhance focus, improve memory, and boost mental clarity. Lifestyle practices such as regular exercise, hydration, and mental exercises like puzzles can also support mental sharpness and cognitive endurance.

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.

-
Pregnant or nursing
-

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.
