"I have a feeling that consciousness and energy are the same thing somehow. Where you really see life energy there is consciousness. Certainly the vegetable world is conscious. And when you live in the woods as I did as a kid, you can see all these >>MORE

Herbal Elixirs

Unfortunately, the general public knows far, far less than they should about the many forms of herbal elixirs available today. These supplements are readily available without a prescription to relieve a wide array of afflictions. But without the stratospheric budgets of the major pharmaceutical companies, the (often small) companies who sell these herbal elixirs have a difficult time spreading word of their products' benefits.

As a few examples, herbal elixirs today can help with insomnia, boost immune system and reduce the strength and duration of the common cold, clear sinuses, serve as anti-anxiety treatments, and countless other clinically-proven uses. Other herbal elixirs are designed for their physiological effects, stimulating or sedating depending on which the consumer chooses. 

Furthermore, there are companies such as us; HerbSpirits, who craft herbal elixirs based on ancient and sacred botanicals for pleasurable effects as well as medicinal effects, such as our Nirvana Elixir which is sold at various online entheogen venders including Shaman's Garden.

Nirvana Elixir is a carefully crafted combination of herbs that include the most potent herbs that have been used in meditation and mysticism...this elixir has been created from a formula provided by a HIMALYAN "OJHA" or wine shaman.  Its intent is to induce a calm, open state of lightness, relaxing the self and brings levity and joyousness. This state allows a deeper connection and merging with astral energies, without the weight of fear or nervousness. This exclusive tincture

Another popular adaptation of an herbal elixir is the expectorant, a term drawn from the Latin word "expectorare," meaning to expel from the chest. And that is precisely what this medication is designed to do. The idea is to prevent the drainage of mucus from the lungs by thinning the mucus and also lubricating the irritated respiratory tract. Herbal expectorants usually involve a tincture made from the guaiac plant, but this is just one example of countless.

Do keep in mind, though, that dominating our supermarket and chain drugstore shelves are pharmaceutical medicines and medications that most of us have been duped into believing are better for us and more effective than the plants that Mother Nature herself has gifted to us.  The fact of the matter is, is that the pharmaceutical companies get 80% of their medicines from plants! - When this was revealed to the general public, they launched into a public relations campaign trying to sell the idea that their drugs are more "controlled" than homeopathic remedies and herbal elixirs such as ours.  But, the plain fact of the matter is, is that they introduce as many synthetics as possible, isolating single alkaloids from plants (such as aspirin from Willow Bark), completely destroying the "Full Spectrum" benefits that the entire plant often has to offer.

We only do Full Spectrum extractions for all of our elixirs and tinctures, ensuring that you get the benefits of each plant just as Mother Nature intended. Many who choose to take commercially available remedies rather than a growing number of effective herbal products have stories of the disorienting and unpleasant side effects of non-herbal solutions to that which ails us.
