this is a very beautiful tincture. this is a very beautiful formula.
the quality of our remedies genuinely determines how much we can really do with them.
everything in this remedy was wild foraged or homegrown and tinctured fresh at its peak season.

i wild forage:
the nettle in early spring, the nettle seed in late fall.
the reishi mushrooms around the end of may.
the cordyceps (painstakingly) mid-late summer.

i grow the ashwagandha roots from seed in spring until they go to seed in late fall.
i harvest them + promptly tincture them fresh.

the nettles + seed are the only remedies that are tinctured in vodka. the rest are tinctured in grain.

this is a deeply acting + potent nutritive tonic.
it is very strong and very safe. how can it be both?
because nutritive tonics boost action through deep, complex nutrition.
it fuels higher function instead of just stimulating it.

stinging nettle is a food grade herb. it is also one of the strongest and most reliable kidney tonics that we have.
it cleans protein by products out of the blood that lead to pain/inflammation and in advanced situations, gout.
it 'turns things on when they have been turned off by deficiency or debility' (matthew wood)

reishi mushroom is a very ancient medicine that has regained popularity with the medicinal mushroom craze.
it is deep immune support, a potent nutritive tonic and kidney support. it is neuroprotective and anticancer.
i like to use it in autoimmune situations. i rely on it in situations where there's a deeply inlaid situation that needs to be turned around.

ashwagandha is excellent for restoring energy levels and for strengthening the body's sense of homeostasis.
it's good support for keeping energy levels, blood sugar and BP even keeled.
it's great for people who are stressed, have lost their centeredness and who tend to easily become exhausted.
ayurveda considers this a 'rasayana' herb, meaning it is safe enough for the very young- the very old
and for people who are weak or compromised. another very ancient remedy. ashwagandha has records stretching back millennia.

cordyceps were once reserved only for the emperor, and even he would only get 1 baked into a chicken.
this is a very low dose remedy that deeply stimulates vitality + restoration.
it is a strong kidney tonic. it has interesting + complex immune activity.
it is energizing. it is an excellent sexual tonic.
it takes me dozens of hours to get enough to make about 8oz.
this is a very special remedy that i hope helps those who are ill or weak
to get the boost they need to attend events that are important to them.

what is this tincture for?
this can help people recover from long, draining illnesses and treatments.
it can help people who are struggling with sexual performance or fertility
(more so for men, but for certain issues for women. female support is more nuanced, but reach out and i'm so glad to help)

i've had older clients who are sick and weak voice concerns that this remedy can also be used as a sexual tonic.
it depends on your health. it depends on dosage.
but for the most part, if someone is in generally good health, this remedy acts more on sexual function and fertility.
if you're deeply exhausted and making a big recovery, the vitality support is going to fill that need first.

this tincture would be excellent daily support for someone who is weak/tired/exhausted and sensitive.
it can be used as a daily tonic to get more out of your day if you are struggling with health problems.
i've had clients in serious situations who felt better when their doctor had them on steroids.
but for safety reasons, that was not a safe long term solution for them.
i originally developed this blend for this purpose.
it's nice to have something safe to prop yourself up.


this blend does not interact with medications.
it is lovely to take at 5-10 drop doses several times a day if it's convenient to keep it nearby.
you're also welcome to take it at 1/2-1 dropper full doses 2-3 times a day.
i'm glad to help you figure that out if you'd like.

it is not a loud remedy. it does its work nicely and shouldn't have any funny business.
while it's possible to be sensitive to any herb or mushroom, these are generally very well tolerated remedies.
there are no common discomforts associated with any of them when taken appropriately.
i have it formulated in a nice ratio so you don't have to worry about that.

i spent about a decade chronically ill and quite physically weak/unstable, so i know how important it is to only help and not hurt.
i have mostly recovered now, but i still keep a little bottle of 'the balance blend' in my purse, just in case.
i keep another one in my foraging bag, just in case.
before i regained my strength, i'd take 10 drops and go to the grocery store. or take 10 drops and go for a walk to get some exercise.
10 drops when i felt i couldn't digest my food.
i genuinely feel that this is where we can do a world of good with herbal remedies.
the right remedy can help us crutch through hard times and regain some confidence and ability.
it can help us feel safe and more secure in ourselves.


if exhaustion, stress, struggling to maintain centeredness throughout the day is more your speed,
please also consider my tincture 'the balance blend' which may be more suitable.


i consult for free for your safety and benefit. i'd be so glad to help you find meaningful support for your specific situation.
please reach out anytime and i will get back to you as soon as i can. best!
