Valerian.

Most of you have heard our herbalist rant, rave, and even crack jokes about the valerian officinalis (one of the herbalist's favorite herbs), but let us introduce you to the herbalist's second favorite valerian, valerian wallichii.

While both are used for relaxing the central nervous system and soothing chronic inflammation, their distinct chemical compositions mean they may have slightly different pharmacological effects or potencies depending on the specific preparation and dosage.

Primarily used in Ayurvedic medicine for a wide range of neurological, psychological, and digestive disorders, including insomnia, epilepsy, skin disorders, and as a nervine.

Wild Lettuce.

Wild lettuce has been used since medicinally since Ancient Egypt for insomnia and pain.

In the 16th Century, herbalist John Gerard extensively wrote on Wild Lettuce and its many uses. From sleep, to pain, including women's menstrual cycles and the pain that often accompanied them. Gerard also claims that people would drink wild lettuce after spider bites to help with the symptoms that accompanied the bite.

Devils Claw.

Used in South Africia for centuries for pain. This plant has beautiful flowers above ground. When the root of this plant is harvested and dried it looks like the claw hook from the vending machine games we begged our parents to play as children.

The root of the Devil's Claw plant contains active compounds, primarily iridoid glycosides like harpagoside, which are believed to be responsible for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Today, Devil's Claw is commonly used in herbal teas, supplements, and topical treatments to soothe conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and headaches.

This plant is related to the sesame family, please use caution if you have a food allergy.

Safflower.

Safflower is related to saffron. Luckily for us safflower is more widely available, more affordable, and produces similar like effects as its family member Saffron. Let's dive into some potential benefits of safflower together.

Modern Antidepressant/Anxiolytic Potential:
In Western Herbalism, safflower and saffron are often recommended for those who are experiencing melancholy, or depression. Although the studies are done on animals, here's one study showing its potential.

Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Effects: Pre-clinical studies (on animals) indicate that safflower petal extract may have antianxiety and antidepressant-like effects. It appears to modulate neurotransmitter systems, specifically interacting with dopaminergic and serotonergic systems (which are key targets for modern antidepressant drugs).

Traditional Use for "Melancholy: Safflower has a history of use in traditional medicine systems for addressing emotional distress, anxiety, and a state referred to as "melancholy humor."

In TCM, safflower is a powerful herb used to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis (stagnation). Pain in TCM is often attributed to the stagnation of Qi (energy) or Blood. By promoting circulation, safflower is believed to alleviate this stagnation, thereby soothing pain.

Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is highly anti-inflammatory. In fact, studies show cinnamon may modulate specific inflammation pathways that contribute to the manifestations of pain symptoms. Let's read more about the potential of cinnamon together.


Cinnamaldehyde and other compounds in cinnamon may act on various pathways in the body that regulate inflammation. Studies show they can suppress the activation of key inflammatory enzymes (like COX-2) and factors (like NF-κB), which are the same targets of many conventional anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

By inhibiting these pathways, cinnamon reduces the production of pro-inflammatory messengers (cytokines) that cause swelling, heat, and pain, especially in chronic conditions. This makes it a popular complementary remedy for conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Clove.

Clove is often used for any tooth or gum pain. Yet, did you know clove is highly anti-inflammatory when taken internally? Clove contains bio-active compounds that may soothe inflammation, especially muscle and joint pain. The constituent that may be responsible for its medicinal like effects is eugenol.

menstruum.

truly gluten free.

We use 100% potato vodka in our alcohol based herbal extracts. Meaning they are truly gluten free from start to finish. Making our tinctures one of the few brands on the market that is completely safe for those with food allergies and celiac disease.
