Lung Loving Herbs to Support Respiratory Health
Supporting both the upper and lower respiratory systems herbally can be done with either an herbal formula like Lung Support, Breathe Light, or a single herb with an affinity for the lungs. Our all-time favorites for specifically targeting the lungs are elecampane, lobelia, osha, ground ivy, goldenrod, plantain, usnea, and horehound.
Lovely Lavender Lemonade with Honey and Elderberry
Cool, chilling, calming + hydrating and helpful to almost every organ system, this lemon-lavender combo does wonders for the mind and body. Preparing an easy lavender simple syrup with honey takes no time at all, and any leftover syrup can be stored in the fridge and added to smoothies, cocktails/mocktails, or even used on oatmeal or pancakes. The benefits of lavender are many, from its stress-taming and nervousness-easing to its ability to promote a healthy digestion and a good night's sleep.

Herbs for LGBTQIA+ Support & Trans Care
We want to raise our voices in allyship towards our LGBTQIA+ friends and family members who benefit from the support of herbalism in so many ways. Herbalism is inherently gender-affirming. Here are some herbs that target optimum nourishment, overall endocrine health, and resourced well-being.
On an energetic level, there are herbs surrounding us that aid in identity-affirming no matter what step of the journey you are on. On a very physiological level, herbs can help tip the hormone scales to favor one over the other, balance above all, and support whatever goals you have.
Traditional Herbal Strategies to Optimize Your Fertility
Our approach to fertility enhancing herbs is to rely on tried and true herbal preparations that have been known as herbs to optimize the chances for conception long before they were trending as such. Bridging the worlds between science and tradition, the herbs we highlight here fall into the category of endocrine supportive (hormone balancing) uterine and ovarian tonics which support the pre-conception phase and may help to maintain a healthy pregnancy as well: vitex, ashwagandha, black cohosh, red clover, motherwort, raspberry leaf, and more.
Herbs to Support YOUR Menstrual Cycle
Leaning into herbal allies during your menstrual cycle is only natural - but by natural, I mean it is something that people have been doing for eons. Reaching out for plant-based support during the various phases of your mooncycle was at one point instinctive, perhaps sucking on a knob of ginger to quell the mitttelschmertz pangs that some can feel during ovulation or to ease painful PMS tendencies or making a strong brew from crampbark to address menstrual discomfort. Adjusting this picture to fit the contemporary uterus owner, we find that herbs are no less useful.
