Cornsilk is the "beard" that can be seen on nearly any variety of corn. Corn is known by the botanical name Zea mays but Cornsilk is known by the botanical name Stigmata maydis or "Mother's Hair."

Indian corn was discovered in Central America by Christopher Columbus, where it was cultivated by the Incas (and many other native cultures). He took it back to Spain, where it was frequently known as "Turkey Corn". Today, corn is a staple crop in many cultures, but few recognize its herbal benefits.

The stems of Cleavers are lined with raspy little teeth which easily catch on clothing and "cleave" to a passerby. As of old it was customary to use Cleavers as a bedding material for childbirth, since it mats into itself well. It is thus known as "bedstraw" and is thought to have been the bedding material used by Mother Mary when she gave birth to Jesus.

We learn from Dioscorides that the Greek shepherds of his day employed the stems of this herb to make a rough sieve to strain milk, and is still used the same way in Sweden to this day. Cleavers is a very beneficial herb, makes an excellent vegetable and the tea can be enjoyed as a drink or used as a facial wash.

A native plant of all temperate and north Arctic regions, Chickweed was said to have naturalized itself wherever the white man has settled. Its popularity with birds probably accounts for its name. Chickweed has egg shaped leaves with small white star-shaped flowers. The flowers open in the morning and remain facing the sun throughout the day. The leaves approach each other at night so that their upper surfaces protect new shoots. Young leaves of the plants are used in salads. When boiled, it can hardly be distinguished from spring spinach. Learn More

Chaste tree berries are also known as vitex or "monk's pepper." Vitex "trees" grow from 3 to 18 feet high and produce dark purple aromatic berries about the size of peppercorns that smell and taste like fresh ground pepper.

The ancient Greeks thought vitex encouraged chastity, so leaves of the plant were strewn on couches associated with Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. As this legend was passed on, monks would carry the leaves in their pockets to assist in their vows of celibacy.

Chaga is a mushroom that mostly grows with the Birch tree all through the boreal regions of our planet. Unlike the soft mushrooms found in the produce aisle, Chaga does not bear fruit, but instead forms a sclerotia - a large growth with an outer black skin.

Chaga grows where the tree’s bark has been compromised and is very slow growing, and one pound sclerotia may take up to 10 years to grow.

An earthy and pleasant tasting tea, Chaga has long traditions of use that continue today.
We hope you enjoy!
