About the Ingredients
DAMIANA (Turnera Diffusa)
Damiana has been used by the indigenous people of Mexico for thousands of years to promote overall health and wellbeing. Damiana is a plant of embodiment. It assists those experiencing states of dissociation to reconnect with their bodies, while supporting and tonifying the nervous system.
Its herbal actions include: Thymoleptic (increases feelings of joy), Antidepressant, and Nervine. It has been popularized as an aphrodisiac but has a much wider range of action including calming and gently stimulating the nervous system, relieving nerve pain, and aiding digestion.

Physiologically, Gotu Kola is classified as a Tonic & Adaptogen (promotes the body’s ability to adapt to stress and balances physiological processes), Vulnerary (aids the healing of tissues), Anti-inflammatory, Circulatory/Venous tonic (improves elasticity and health of blood vessels), Nervine (calms and nourishes the nervous system). Gotu Kola has long been revered in Ayurvedic medicine as one of the most rejuvenating and revitalizing herbs for the whole body. It has a strong affinity for the brain and can be used to improve mental clarity, concentration, and memory.

About our Botanical Extracts
A "botanical extract" refers to the use of a solvent to extract the medicinal components of a plant, resulting in a more concentrated and available form. The strength of an extract is amount of starting material compared to the finished product, expressed as a ratio. We use 10:1 botanic extracts in our products, which means you get the equivalent benefits of 10 capsules of plant material in just one capsule!
Additionally, all of our products have undergone testing for purity and potency and are standardized to contain high levels of active constituents (the medicinal parts of the plant). You can feel comfortable using these products, knowing that they are among the safest, most potent, and most effective on the market. Unlikely many botanical nutraceuticals, our products contain no fillers, stabilizers, or additives and are hand-made in small batches.
