Shop Sleep

During the holidays (and year-round), we need all the sleep we can get. Longer nights and shorter days, cozy fires and hot tea, fluffy blankets and wool socks, all set the mood for a good night’s rest. If you need a little extra help to get the zzz’s you need, stock up on our formulas and single herb tinctures for sleep support.

  • Sweet Dreams: Sweet Dreams blends time-tested herbs to promote a restful night's sleep. Valerian, California poppy and hops have a long history of use for occasional sleeplessness, while chamomile, and passionflower support a calm mind.
  • Suan Zao Ren Tang Plus:We’ve modified the traditional Chinese formula “Sour Jujube Decoction” which calms the Spirit, nourishes Blood and clears heat, with added rapid-acting Western herbs including passionflower, linden, and California poppy for occasional sleeplessness.
  • Passionflower Tincture: Passionflower is a tropical flowering vine that brings calming, cooling energy to the entire nervous system and supports a good night's sleep. We source our certified organic passionflower from the magical Big Island of Hawaii.

Shop Nervines

If you or someone you love struggles with stress during the holiday season, give the gift of calm! We know we’ll be using these tools to help us relax more and stress less.

  • Elation: Elation combines the classic TCM combination, Xiao Yao San, or “Free and Easy Wanderer” with Western nervines and adaptogens to soothe the mood and brighten the blues.
  • Tranquility: Tranquility supports peace of mind and a calm spirit; this formula can help reorient patterns of circular thinking and provide needed grounding during times of stress. It is a great alternative for folks trying to reduce or avoid alcohol during the holiday season! This formula contains kava kava, which should be avoided in individuals with liver disease or during pregnancy & breastfeeding.
  • Milky Oats Tincture: Milky Oats have been used traditionally to boost the mood and nourish the nervous system, support restful sleep, and for sexual vitality.
  • Ashwagandha Tincture: Ashwagandha root is a wonderful adaptogen because it strikes a balance between relaxing and energizing. The best ashwagandha tincture is certified organic and tested for pesticides and heavy metals, and has a slightly earthy flavor--like ours!

Shop Digestion

We LOVE celebrating the holidays with delicious food, but sometimes all of that feasting doesn’t love us back. Support digestive wellness before, during, and after that occasional indulgence with botanicals.

  • G.I. Feel Better: Modeled after traditional East Asian "Five Stagnations" formulas that resolve stasis of food, heat, dampness, Qi, and Blood, this formula facilitates comfort with elecampane, fennel cardamom and ginger.⁠ It also employs Euro-American "bitters" to stoke digestive juices, support the liver, and promote healthy absorption and elimination with Oregon grape root and turmeric.⁠
  • Rectify Qi: Rectify Qi includes traditional Chinese herbs and Western botanicals for redirecting rebellious Stomach qi, which manifests as nausea, vomiting, belching, and abdominal discomfort.
  • Gui Pi Tang: This TCM formula, also known as “Restore the Spleen Decoction” augments the qi, tonifies the Blood, strengthens the Spleen, and nourishes the Heart. From a Western perspective, this blend fortifies digestion when there is fatigue, poor appetite, and bloating, and also helps to calm the mind.
