Our Herbal Philosophy

Our herbal philosophy fuses East Asian and Western modalities to help combat the external stressors found in modern life. Working together as herbalists and healers from different backgrounds, our team discovered that we are not so different after all. The goal of each tradition is to help the body be right with its connection to Nature and the Universe. We want you to feel comfortable in your body with a mind that’s clear and calm.     

External stressors come in many forms, from physical pathogens to emotional toxicity, and mental duress. Our tinctures are formulated with a blend of adaptogenic herbs to help your body adapt and process stressors, so you can exhale the bad and inhale the good.

Trained in Classical Chinese Medicine, our lead formulator goes back to the roots of herbal alchemy in her practice. The crux of wellness, balance, and harmony lies in the notion that Yin and Yang within us need to work together to keep us healthy.  All the activity, movement, energy, and transformation in our bodies are the workings of Yang. All the quiet, absorptive, and slow processes are Yin.  When balanced, our body functions, and we are blissfully unaware as it ticks along.  When forces are out of balance, we feel stressed, unwell, and disjointed. Ouch. Luckily, a little tweak can have expansive effects. 

Formulators on our team are also trained in Plant Spirit Medicine, tapping into the earth’s energetic vibrations to align with nature and its healing properties. Working together, our goal is to bring the entire functional dynamic of the body’s inner mechanism into sync with a universal lifeforce.

Our philosophy is reflected in the types of plants we source for our tincture formulas. A blend of East Asian and Western medicinal plants is used in each formula for optimal healing properties.
