i used to only release this remedy after a consultation. 

the ghost pipe population on my land this year was so incredibly abundant that i released the remedy for regular purchase 

i've worked with ghost pipe very extensively.

please be aware that there are misleading articles on the internet about ghost pipe. 

**it is not a remedy that is always well tolerated**

the people that truly need it never seem to have adverse reactions. 

people that want it but don't really need it seem to get bizarre and unpleasant effects, even at very low doses.

 

it is a spirit remedy. it is a teacher. 

like many respectable plant medicines, ghost pipe is being misrepresented. 

fad remedies are mismarketed to make a lot of money off of people that are suffering from common ailments. in this situation, that would be pain and anxiety. 

'fad remedies' are literally the #1 reason that most endangered medicinal plants became endangered to begin with. 

some greedy guy dug up all the american ginseng over 200 years ago, marketed it as a 'cure all' in global commerce and the the US native ginseng population never fully recovered. 

the same thing happened to goldenseal, echinacea and seneca snake root to name a few.

ABOUT THIS BATCH

this particular batch contains the whole ghost pipe plant, including the root. 

it's tinctured in vodka. 

when it was harvested it was very fresh.

i did not intentionally harvest the root, but wasn't going to waste it. 

i have personally never seen ghost pipe regrow from the same roots like a perennial. 

this batch is a silver color. i have had dark black or purple tinctures in years past. it seems to be related to rainfall for the overall season.

the silver tincture is just as potent as the black tincture. because this batch contains ample root, i think it's actually stronger than past batches.

the lighter colored tinctures seem to stay fresh longer than in past years when it was darker. this is just personal gnosis. 

i understand that there is a lot of anger in the plant community concerning over harvesting ghost pipe. 

my remedies are consciously + respectfully crafted in small batches. 

restoring native endangered plants is a huge part of my practice. i don't take it lightly. 

ghost pipe are an at risk species + they cannot be intentionally cultivated.

**there are a few specific situations in which they're indispensable.**

APPROPRIATE AND SPECIFIC INDICATIONS

ghost pipe is 'processing support' for the tormented. 

it helps a person process + integrate extremes, be it physical, emotional or spiritual pain. 

it is a specific for bad trips. 

i do think it's a critical remedy to have on hand in environments that are prime for irresponsible psychedelic use.  

it is also a remedy that comes to mind to aid those recovering from drug addiction.

depending on why you might need this remedy, i will explain the perimeters of proper usage. 

this remedy can be used in certain instances to assist processing trauma *for people that are already actively working through it on their own*

it's not a remedy to use forever. i like to give people reishi tea or skull cap tincture to round it out.

if used appropriately, it's unlikely that most people would use an entire .5oz bottle pf ghost pipe

for a small person a 5 drop dose is pretty stiff. just give it 10-15 mins to sink in.

i consult for free so you can have the most minimal, effective + safe remedies to suit your specific needs.

please don't hesitate to reach out or ask questions<3

****this is not an appropriate remedy for pain management or anxiety****

i understand that people can have serious issues that they've desperately tried to fix.

this is something that i see every day and i respect your situation. 

ghost pipe is being marketed as a rare and mysterious remedy that miraculously cures pain and anxiety when nothing else has worked.

herbalism is poorly understood and poorly practiced, being built on fundamental misunderstandings of both how the body works, how plant medicines work

and that in the grand majority of cases, there is a diverse and sustainable array of options available to us. 

ghost pipe is sedative and antispasmodic. it is likely to soothe anxiety, but there are countless remedies that would be fundamentally better choices on many levels. 

i have wonderful remedies and minimal regimens that can appropriately support anxiety and pain management. 

as with any good remedy, it's extremely important to understand the bigger picture 

so we can find the root cause of your imbalances and use minimal and specific remedies to resolve 

those roots safely + effectively. please feel free to send me a message (or ask for my email address) 

explaining your situation and we will get you what you need. 

i have extremely good results with my anxiety and pain management clients 

if you'd like to explore herbal support on your own, here are some considerations: 

anxiety: 

my absolute go to is skull cap. 

lemon balm, passion flower, motherwort, peppermint, bugleweed, mimosa/albizia flower, blue vervain, reishi, hawthorn, peppermint and chamomile are great choices. 

*to find the optimal anxiety remedy, it's important to know how your anxiety manifests and feels in your mind/body so you can find an herbal ally that works through those internal pathways

processing trauma + healing old wounds: skull cap, mimosa, reishi, mugwort, raspberry leaf, blue vervain. occasionally black cohosh or chaga. boundary issues: black walnut, agrimony

pain: stinging nettle, joint support tincture (solomon's seal, nettle + mullein), teasel root. i have two pain salves for external use. 

i also have a st johnswort- burdock-mullein pain tincture that i only have limited quantity of that i only release through consultation. please inquire
