Products
Yes! Our entire facility is gluten free and vegan. We only use 100% botanically derived ingredients.
Many of the herbs within our formulas are certified Earth kosher. Please keep in mind, though, that a lot of our herbs are very rare and wildcrafted in the rainforest, and certifications don’t really apply in these cases. While our facility is not certified Earth kosher, do know that we follow strict guidelines on sustainability and sourcing, ensuring our products are purely botanical with no added fillers of any kind.
We always recommend consulting with your healthcare practitioner about the use of herbs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have questions regarding specific products you are interested in, please feel free to email us!
We always recommend consulting with your healthcare practitioner about the use of herbal medicine while on prescription medication for serious conditions. While some herbal medicine is deemed safe, some can cause contraindications.
The general rule of thumb is 2 weeks of consistent use at the recommended dosage, but this depends on many factors: your body’s history, diet, mindset, the actual plant(s) you’re taking, and beyond. Know that although you might “not feel anything” right away, your body is generating an adaptation and response to it. Give it time, sometimes effects might take longer to perceive, while others might come instantaneously.

Fulfillment time is not included in shipping time.
