Abelmoschus Moschatus
Also known as: Musk Mallow, Musk Okra
This beautiful herbaceous plant is part of a small genus and is native to India but now occurs in tropical Asia, Australia, and Africa. It is similar in appearance to Hibiscus and was formerly included in that genus. It is in the Malvaceae family and is related to the common okra. It is grown as an aromatic ornamental and suitable for food, cosmetics, and medicinal purposes as well.
It has 3-6 inch wide pale yellow flowers that last only a day or so, but blooms freely throughout the growing season to frost. Flowers give way to fruit capsules (to 3” long) which have a musky aroma. It can grow to 3-5 feet tall and tend to grow in bushy clumps. Great for beds, border fronts, pots, and containers. It grows well in full to partial sun in reasonably moist, well-drained soil. It is a perennial in tropical regions and an annual in others, making it frost tender. USDA hardiness zone : 9-11
Traditionally been used to treat a wide variety of ailments like snake bites, ingestion, heart disease, intestinal disorders, itching, skin conditions, thirst, urinary discharge, and vomiting to name a few. An emulsion from the seeds is considered to be anti-spasmodic and is used externally. Extensively used as an insecticide and a aphrodisiac. The oil of the seeds, with a strong musk odor, are also used in the perfume industry (now largely replaced by synthetic musk oils) and is used to flavor coffee, tea, and other foods.

(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!

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.
