Common curiosities ~

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.

How do I use them?

Our tinctures are meant to be part of your ritual,whether you're winding down, tuning in, or connecting with others.

You can:

  • Drop directly under your tongue for quicker effects.
  • Add to a drink like sparkling water, tea, or a smoothie.
  • Mix into your favorite mocktail or one of our recipes.

Start with 1–2 dropperfuls and listen to your body.

Can I take more than one in a day?

Absolutely. You can always layer blends throughout the day.

For example: Ecstatic in the morning, Long Rhode throughout the day, and Altared and/or Lucid in the evening.

Just start slow, listen to your body, and see what rhythm works best for you.

When should I take each tincture?

Each formula supports a different vibe.

Use Long Rhode to de-stress and focus. Lucid to calm down. Ecstatic to bring presence and joy. Altared to relax and connect.

Choose based on the moment you're in or the state you’re seeking.

Are there any side effects?

Our blends are made with gentle, well-studied herbs. That said, if you're pregnant, nursing, or on medication, check with your healthcare provider. We include all ingredients on the label for full transparency.
