Intentionally Crafted, Mindfully Sourced
We believe that peak potency starts with authentic, clean ingredients.
- Sustainability First: Our process starts in the garden, where we sustainably grow as many herbs as possible on our own land. For ingredients we can't grow, we partner exclusively with dedicated growers who share our commitment to sustainable and ethical harvesting practices. This ensures every ingredient is vibrant, fresh, and responsibly gathered.

We understand that finding safe products can be challenging for those with sensitivities. That's why we take extra steps to create a truly worry-free experience:

This allows individuals with sensitivities to safely enjoy the nourishing benefits of our herbal blends. You can rest assured our ingredient list will always list any potential top 9 allergy.

Know Your Herbs: We believe in complete transparency. Every single ingredient in our products is clearly listed and explained, detailing its traditional use and benefits. We don't just blend—we educate. Scroll down for each ingredient's potential benefits.
Nettle.
You've heard that Nettle (Urtica dioica) may act as a natural antihistamine, but did you know it may soothe pain? Surprisingly, nettle is an effective herb for soothing pain, especially when the pain is linked to inflammation, arthritis, muscle aches, or chronic conditions like fibromyalgia or joint degeneration.
Though it’s best known as a nutrient-dense tonic, nettle also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-soothing) effects—making it a great herb for both systemic and localized pain.
Wild Lettuce.
Wild lettuce was once used by Ancient Romans for its medicinal properties, such as for soothing pain, and promoting a restful nights slumber.
In 1898, Wild Lettuce was added to the United States Pharmacopoeia. It was listed as an herb for use in syrups, lozenges, and tinctures to help with sleep and alleviate sore throats and even chest conditions.
Wild lettuce is considered extremley safe, but should be harvested during specific times for its full range of benefits!
You've probably seen it before. Wild Lettuce grows in the wild, but usually in funny areas such as, the cracks of sidewalks, or old buildings, suburban areas and neighborhoods!
When the stems or leaves are cut, they exude a white latex sap called lactucarium. This constituent may be responsible for its effects, although more research is needed.
🌿 Why Wild Lettuce Helps with Pain
Wild lettuce contains lactucopicrin and lactucin, bitter compounds found in its white, milky sap (latex), which have:
Analgesic (pain-relieving)
Sedative
Antispasmodic effects
These compounds affect the central nervous system, making wild lettuce especially useful for:
Muscle pain & spasms
Old injuries that never healed properly
Nerve pain
Arthritis or joint pain
Menstrual cramps
Insomnia caused by pain
Restlessness or anxiety from chronic discomfort
St John's Wort.
The use of St. John's Wort dates back to Ancient Greece where they used St. John's Wort for nervous disorders.
Today, modern herbalists use St. John's Wort for its internal and external healing properties.
Taken internally, St. John's Wort may have the ability to soothe the nervous system and calm irritated nerves. The antispasmodic activity soothes overworked and cramped muscles.
St. John's Wort is often used in salves for external support. The anti-inflammatory and astringent properties may "speed up" the healing process of wounds, mild burns, bruises, and varicose veins.
St John's Wort For Pain:
St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a highly effective herb for pain, especially nerve-related pain (neuralgia). While it's best known as an herbal antidepressant, it's also a powerful ally for physical pain, particularly when it involves:
Nerve inflammation or injury
Sciatica
Shingles (postherpetic neuralgia)
Back pain with nerve involvement
Menstrual cramps
Burns, wounds, or muscle trauma (topical use)
Passionflower.
Passionflower contains alkaloids, and flavonoids that have shown sedative like effects making passionflower beneficial to those suffering from emotional or physical trauma.
Passionflower does have an affinity to the central nervous system, and has depressant-like effects, making passionflower beneficial when dealing with sudden loss of a family member, or loved one.
Passionflower also contains constituents that are antiinflammatory and antispasmodic, thus indicating passionflower may help soothe and support inflammed, cramping, muscles.
Kava
🌿 How Kava May Help with Pain:
Kava’s active compounds are called kavalactones, which work on the central nervous system by:
Interacting with GABA-A receptors, which may produce a (calming effect). Kava is nourishing and supporting to the nerves and tissues. Soothing inflammation and promoting relaxation.
Kava doesn't just dull pain—it relaxes both mind and body, making it especially helpful when pain is amplified by stress, anxiety, or muscle tightness.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is not just for flavor, nor is it just to boost immunity. Cinnamon has medicinal properties that support those suffering with pain. Let's take a look at how cinnamon may help you!
🌿 How Cinnamon May Help with Pain
Cinnamon contains active compounds like:
Cinnamaldehyde – anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial
Eugenol – mild anesthetic and anti-inflammatory
Procyanidins – antioxidant and tissue-supportive
These make cinnamon:
A warming circulatory stimulant
A mild anti-inflammatory
A spasmolytic (helps relieve cramps and spasms)
A digestive aid, which is helpful when pain is linked to gut tension
Clove.
clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is not just for flavor either. One of the most potent natural pain-relieving herbs, especially known for its topical anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used for centuries in both traditional and modern herbal medicine for toothaches, muscle aches, and inflammatory pain.
🌿 Why Clove Helps with Pain
The primary active compound in clove is eugenol, which soothes inflammed tissues, and has anti-inflammatory effects. Eugenol has been shown in research to give a numbing sensation. This makes clove a great option in salves for localized pain. When regularly consuming clove and its active compounds its thought to provide a natural anti-inflammatory effect.
