About Us
What Inspires Us
Plants have been labeled as "alternative modalities", though they have been used for thousands of years in tonics, tinctures, and teas to bring our bodies into healthy balance. The Amazon Rainforest is rich with natural, living remedies that have not been easily accessible around the world until recently. We strive to uplift the voices of the Amazon's powerful plant allies in order to cultivate a new standard of healing for humanity.
Intentionally-Grown Products
All of our products are grown in their natural habitat: under the sun in the Amazon Rainforest, away from pesticides and herbicides. Our products are sustainably harvested and prepared using traditional small batch methods in Pucallpa, Peru. For instance, only the tops of the Ayahuasca vines are cut to leave large vines to continue to grow. In addition, when a whole plant is harvested, two more are planted in its place as a way to support the growth of the medicine and community.
Supports Indigenous Tribes
Your support allows us to contribute to the irreplaceable caretakers of the sacred Amazon who tend to the lands, and connect us with its beauty. Each purchase supports the locals of Pucallpa, Peru who are hired to harvest these plants from the jungle. The community we collaborate with in turn gives back through helping to create local roads, build irrigation systems, and provide toys for local children during the holidays.
We have developed a relationship with this Shipibo-Konibo community through working beside them when we are in Peru. We are honored to have the opportunity to learn their sacred medicine ways, which has evolved into sharing the wisdom of the plants with those who otherwise may not have not have access.
A Peek Into The Process
Once the plants are harvested from the jungle, they are then reduced down to a paste of pure plant material, free of any additives or preservatives. We then reconstitute the paste and add alcohol to create the tinctures. The alcohol added acts as a solvent for the plants, extracting the active ingredients and compounds which are not water-soluble. Alcohol used in tinctures creates extremely concentrated and fast-acting products, therefore only a small dose is needed to access the full range of benefits.
