OTHER:
Douglas is an evergreen coniferous tree that is originally native to western North America, but has become naturalized in parts of Europe & South America. In spite of the common, Douglas is not actually a fir tree or a pine tree. These large trees typically reach heights of 60 – 80’ in cultivation, but are long-lived & can grow to heights of 120 – 160’ in their natural habitat. As the trees begin to reach soaring heights in dense forests, they lose their lower branches & the foliage may not start for 100’ up the trunk. Doug’s cones are a tan color & measure 2 ½ - 4” long. They are popular in crafts & decorations. These valuable trees have a large variety of uses besides winning Christmas.
Prized for their large size & straight trunks, the Douglas Fir is an important lumber tree, netting a larger amount of timber than any other North American tree. The wood is used in construction & for firewood.
Their beauty & adaptability has made them a popular choice for homes, parks, commercial sites, & they are even a popular bonsai specimen.
Douglas Firs provide valuable habitat to a wide variety of animal species including spotted owls, squirrels, & tree voles just to name a few. They are an important food source for many of our woodland friends too, from chipmunks & shrews who enjoy their seeds very much to grouse using their needles as their spring food source, & even porcupines for whom their bark is their primary source of food in the winter.
The bark, resin, & needles of the Douglas Fir all have traditional herbal medicinal uses.
The Douglas Fir has been one of the most popular types of Christmas Trees for over 100 years & remains a best seller today. They grow in a lovely pyramid shape naturally so don’t require much pruning to look their very best. Douglas Firs have a very full shape, so are great for larger spaces. The needles are soft & remain on the tree for about 4 weeks after having been cut. They have a fantastic fragrance that is fresh & clean, piney & woodsy, & sweet with hints of citrus.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
