What does it feel like?
Everybody is different, so effects vary. But for the most part – some are stimulating, boosting your energy and mood, while others are relaxing, promoting calm and well-being.
I'm sober. Can I use these?
That's a very personal question. But, we say "Yes!" Our tinctures are crafted with the sober and sober-curious in mind. They don’t contain alcohol in an intoxicating amount (just enough as a natural preservative and extraction method), and they’re non-psychoactive—meaning they won’t get you high, drunk, or alter your consciousness. They’re designed to help you feel more like yourself, not less. Many in recovery or abstaining from substances use our products as a tool for connection, relaxation, and ritual.
Are these legal? / Are there any dangers?
Absolutely. Every plant we use is 100% legal in the US and well-researched herbs.
Please review individual cautions below:
Altared (kava + damiana)
- Avoid if taking sedatives, depressants, or alcohol. May cause drowsiness.
Ecstatic (kanna + damiana)
- Do not combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, or other antidepressants. May interact with serotonin pathways.
Long Rhode (rhodiola + schisandra)
- Use caution if prone to mania or bipolar symptoms. Rhodiola can be overstimulating for some.
Lucid (blue lotus)
- Avoid combining with other sedatives. Mildly calming and relaxing.
Most of the herbs we use (except schisandra) are generally not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding, however we believe a mother knows best and several BF mamas use our blends.
