Ashwagandha // 1:2 fresh root 75%
Adaptogens are magic to me. A plant that will respond to each organisms specific needs? Overtime reducing stress, restoring balance, and harmonizing the endocrine system. The way these plants monitor and regulate the nervous, endorcrine and immune system make them an indispensable ally for the modern capitalist world we live in.
Jim McDonald on ashwagandha indications:
“Ashwagandha is exceptional for when your adrenal burnout isn’t something that’s happening, but has happened (maybe a while ago). You’re exhausted, but you can’t sleep, and when you do you don’t sleep deeply… You can’t think quite straight, your concentration is shot. You might find yourself more and more irritable. Perhaps your libido has also crashed, or is in other ways unreliable. But you’re still doing, doing, doing, because that’s what you do. And you’ll run yourself ragged before you let burnout stop you.”
I will not proclaim ashwagandha to be a cure all, however from my own experience with chronic illness and the accompanying deep adrenal burnout, ashwagandha is a ladder, a glimmer, that brings renewed inspiration for life and solid ground to stand on.
Hemlock Reishi // fruiting body triple extraction
Queen of the forest, the mushroom of immortality, this one has a long history of reverence and magic. An adaptogen, cardiotonic, immunomodulator, and nervine forest fungus, Reishi works as both a tonic and a bio-regulator for the immune system. Soothing overreactive immune responses in those with autoimmune or boosting immunity in those with sluggish systems. Taken as a tonic overtime, you can expect to see increased immunity, better sleep, emotional stability, and more grounded responses to stress.
Reishi lacks the psychotropic effects of psylocibin, yet they are profoundly psychedelic. Reishi expands our sense of connection, belonging, and opens doors to previously unseen realms. While subtle, the creativity, elevation and vibrational hum of this mushroom is undeniable. These autumn ephemerals sing us back to wholeness and renewed inspiration.
Devils Club // 1:2 fresh root bark 75%
Bitter, sweet and saponaceous, Devil’s Club is the protector spirit of the damp, old growth Cascade forests; growing huge umbrella leaves with spiked stems that can shoot ten feet high under the cedars and hemlocks. Devil’s Club moderates blood sugar levels, supports the adrenals and can nourish and relax a hyper vigilant nervous system.
My work with Devil’s Club focuses primarily on their deep wisdom and teachings around boundaries and trauma. They provide energetic protection and healing from trauma and burnout and help us feel safe in our bodies. Devil’s Club supports us in strongly stretching our boundaries out like thorned stems and drinking from the deep well of creativity that resides within us all. Devil’s Club shows us we have the right to exist, expand, and heal, opening the door for us the become the Alchemists of our lives.
