Unfortunately, high stress and poor sleep are common among those living modern lifestyles, affecting people of all ages. Many factors can influence these health issues, including:
Unfortunately, digestive issues frequently arise during the seasonal festivities – resulting in bloating, heartburn, gas, or pain from indulging – or overindulging!
Herbs have helped treat a wide range of digestive maladies throughout history and across cultures. In this tradition, we harnessed the unique benefits of plant medicines in 3 targeted formulas that address common digestive issues.
Digestion is a cascade of physiological events that start before you even put food in your mouth. That anticipatory “mouthwatering” effect is your digestive system kicking into action.
Digestive prompting can also come from something today’s diets often lack: bitter flavours. These stimulate the vagus nerve in the roof of the mouth, triggering the release of the hormone gastrin. This signals the body to produce saliva, gastric juices, enzymes, and bile — crucial elements of healthy digestion.
Bitters also help the nervous system to shift into “rest and digest” mode (rather than “fight or flight”), which allows for optimal digestion.
But there is a well-known plant medicine that can offer the body both natural and effective support, to not only relieve symptoms, but also fight back against seasonal viruses and infections.

You’ve eaten well, always get a good’s night sleep, taken immune-supporting supplements and are careful to wash your hands several times a day – but now you feel that familiar tickle at the back of your throat. There’s no doubt about it, a cold is coming on – so now what?
More and more women are turning to natural medicine to help alleviate their menstrual concerns and take control of their hormonal health. Herbal medicine has the unique ability to not only reduce cycle-related symptoms such menstrual cramps, but also to resolve the underlying hormonal issue that is causing symptoms in the first place.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is known as the “king of all organs”, representing self awareness, the ability to connect and live a fulfilling, happy life.
Physiologically, it is the centre of the cardiovascular system – an elaborate network of veins and arteries that flow blood into every area of the body, to ensure that we are oxygenated, nourished and that our hormones and immune response can function properly.
