Personalized Guidance
Our Herbal Support Finder matches you with herbs based on your wellness goals, health profile, and medications.
NEVER apply undiluted essential oils to skin (except Lavender/Tea Tree in small amounts). NEVER ingest essential oils without professional guidance. Keep away from eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes. Some oils are toxic to pets (especially cats). NEVER use near the face of infants/toddlers.
Store in dark glass bottles away from heat and light. Most oils last 1-3 years. Citrus oils oxidize faster (6-12 months).
Kettle or pot, Mug or teapot, Strainer or tea infuser, Measuring spoon
Start with a small amount to check for any sensitivity. Not all herbs are suitable for tea preparation — some require alcohol extraction (tincture) for full potency.
Drink fresh or refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Dried herbs should be stored in airtight containers away from light.
Herb grinder or pre-powdered herb, Empty vegetarian capsules (size 00 or 0), Capsule filling machine (optional but recommended), Small bowl, Scale (optional for precision)
Capsules bypass taste, which can be important — bitter taste stimulates digestion. For digestive herbs, teas or tinctures may be more effective. Always follow recommended dosing.
Store in airtight containers away from moisture. Use within 6-12 months for best potency.
Purchase from reputable supplement company
Standardized extracts are concentrated — do not exceed recommended doses. They may interact differently with medications than whole-herb preparations. Consult a healthcare provider if taking medications.
Follow manufacturer storage instructions. Typically store cool, dry, and away from light.
