Cat’s claw is a woody, climbing vine that grows in the South American Rainforests and can often be found growing into the canopy. Once mature, the top part of the plant is cut away, enabling the rootstock to regrow quickly. Harvesting in this method ensures sustainability of this wonderful herb for future generations.

Also known as “Uña de gato” in Spanish, Cat’s Claw (inner bark) has been used by the Peruvian natives of the Amazon for centuries. Its discovery in 1970 by a scientific expedition has led to its widespread popularity and use throughout the Western world.

Nature's herbs are utilized by dispersing and awakening the entire useful qualities of the dried plant.

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!

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
