This listing are for plants with a common name starting with A-C. If it is in stock, you will be able to order a simple of it! 

All information on historical use per plant listed below is for educational purposes only (the FDA makes us state this).

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa): Like a multivitamin, but leafy and way cooler.
Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and general good vibes, Alfalfa has been the unsung green goddess for kidney and bladder health. Bonus: it’s safe for literally everyone—pregnant people, breastfeeding folks, kids, and probably your goldfish (don’t try that, though).

Andrographis: (Andrographis paniculata): Cold? Flu? Hit it with the green hammer.
This South Asian powerhouse doesn’t mess around. A go-to for respiratory crud, it’s safe for the kiddos but not for pregnant or breastfeeding people. This bitter little badass is like an herbal bouncer for your immune system.

Arjuna (Arjuna terminalia): Your heart’s new herbal hype-man.
Ancient Ayurveda knew what was up—Arjuna is here to support your cardiovascular system with grace and grit. Safe for kids, but still doing the research on safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera): Because your nervous system is not a piñata.
Stressed? Anxious? Hormones flailing? Ashwagandha’s got your back. This adaptogen chills you out, lifts your spirits, helps with sleep, and boosts fertility and brain power. It’s like a spa day for your whole system. 

Astragalus (Astragalus propinquus): Immune system looking tired? Astragalus it.
This Qi-tonic darling from Traditional Chinese Medicine is basically ginseng's younger, peppier cousin. Great for boosting immunity and bringing balance to your body, it's an all-around wellness MVP.

Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri): For when your brain feels like a cluttered desktop.
Ayurveda’s brain booster! Bacopa helps with memory, focus, and executive function—like mental feng shui in a bottle. Safe for kids, but jury’s still out for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Bay leaf (Laurus nobilis): Not just for soup—also for your skull.
Great for migraines and other head-throbbery, this pain-relieving leaf has some history. Not for pregnant folks.

Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa): Menopause? Meet your match.
Hot flashes, hormonal chaos, and mood swings—Black Cohosh has been the botanical BFF for menopausal folks since the 1800s. Adults only, and definitely not for those pregnant or breastfeeding.

Black Haw (Viburnum prunifolium): Cramp control with a long history of badassery.
From labor pain to menstrual misery, Black Haw is here to hush your spasming muscles and uterus. Safe for kiddos, but we don’t know enough yet about pregnancy and breastfeeding use.

Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus): The seaweed that does everything but your taxes. This salty sea superstar has been used for thyroid issues, weight management, skin problems, and more. It’s basically the overachiever of the ocean. Proceed with caution during pregnancy and lactation.

Boswellia/Frankincense (Boswellia serrata): Smells holy, heals wholly.
Great for inflammation and now making waves in brain health studies, this ancient resin is the quiet genius of your herbal lineup. Safe for kids, but unsure for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata):  For Type-A neck-clenchers and emotional tightrope walkers. Thomas Easley nailed it: this is for the over-functioning perfectionist who refuses to chill. Helps the nervous system unwind and release stored tension. Safe for breastfeeding and kids—but tread lightly if pregnant or on hormone therapy.

Bupleurum (Bupleurum rotundifolium): TCM’s answer to respiratory ruckus and gut grumbles. Been a staple in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years for flu, bronchitis, and digestive woes. Don’t even think about using it if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, though.

Burdock root (Arctium lappa): The ultimate detox BFF—without the juice cleanse.
Known for liver support, skin clarity, and blood sugar balance, this bitter root’s got your back (and your liver). Safe for everyone—and tasty if you roast it right.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis): Skin soother, inflammation tamer, general glow-up giver. Used for centuries to calm rashes, cuts, and flare-ups, this golden flower is gentle and effective. Totally safe for everyone and pretty to boot.

California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica): Turn down the volume on your nerves.
Feeling wound up? This gentle sedative helps with anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness—without the knock-you-out effect of its cousins. Safe for kids, but caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Catnip (Nepeta cataria): No, not just for your feline overlord.
This plant helps soothe upset tummies and frazzled nerves in humans, too! Great for kids and grownups alike—just maybe don’t share it with your cat unless you like chaos.

Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa): Immune support from the Amazon—minus the delivery fees. Used for centuries for pain and immune support, Cat’s Claw is a vine with a purpose. Safe for children, but nope for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Cleavers (Galium aparine): Your lymphatic system’s leafy little plumber.
When your glands are backed up and your skin’s cranky, Cleavers comes to the rescue. Great lymph cleanser—but avoid during pregnancy, breastfeeding, kidney problems, or blood thinners.

Corn Silk (Zea mays): Kidneys throwing a tantrum? Send in the silk.
This silky-sweet part of the corn plant is a fantastic diuretic and urinary tract helper. Safe for everyone, even pregnant folks in moderation.

Codonopsis (Codonopsis pilosula): Poor man’s ginseng, rich man’s energy.
Great for immune support, stamina, and protecting against radiation side effects—Codonopsis is the underrated hero of the adaptogen world. Safe for kids, but still a mystery for pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Crampbark (Viburnum opulus): Cramps? Contractions? Crampbark it.
Muscle spasms and menstrual pain don’t stand a chance. This uterine whisperer is gentle, effective, and safe for literally everyone—including pregnant and breastfeeding folks.
