Simples Collection: Pure plant power, no entourage required.

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

Jamaican Dogwood (Piscidia piscipula): For when you need your body to stop screaming and just... chill. Jamaican Dogwood is a heavy-hitting sedative, pain reliever, and muscle relaxer wrapped up in bark. Legendary for migraines, neuralgia, insomnia-from-pain, and that can't-even-move arthritis, it’s basically nature’s version of "Netflix and collapse." (Follow dosing instructions unless you want to experience extreme nap mode.)

Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica): The weed everyone loves to hate... unless you’re into breathing, healing, and Lyme support. Infamous as an invasive monster, but glorious as an herbal ally, Knotweed helps with respiratory gunk, bleeding, skin issues, and even gum disease. Plus, it’s making headlines in the natural Lyme disease toolkit. Proof that even the villains of the plant world can be heroes in disguise.

Lady's Thumb (Persicaria maculosa): Small plant, big energy.
Used by Native American nations for stomach troubles, poison ivy, wound healing, and even as horse bug spray (seriously), Lady’s Thumb is a scrappy little fixer. Whether your belly’s grumbling or your skin’s whining, this humble herb shows up swinging.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): Mood lifter, tummy tamer, viral fighter—basically herbal sunshine. Since the Middle Ages, Lemon Balm has been the patron saint of stress relief, happy tummies, and restful sleep. Plus, it's a heavyweight antiviral. One whiff and your nervous system sighs with relief.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): The sweet-talking herb that plays well with others.
Licorice does it all: antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, Qi-raising, flavor-fixing, toxicity-taming—and that’s just before breakfast. In TCM, it’s the ultimate sidekick, boosting every formula it touches. In the West, we mostly high-five it for its digestive magic. Either way: respect the root.

Linden (Tilia): For fevers, flus, frayed nerves, and itchy everything.
Linden is the botanical equivalent of a cozy weighted blanket—helping with fevers, coughs, itchy skin, blood pressure swings, and those frantic heartbeat moments. Sip some and remember what it feels like to be calm again.

Lobelia (Lobelia inflata): Because breathing should not feel like a part-time job.
Used for asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, and even apnea in newborns, Lobelia opens the lungs like a boss. It's also got mild sedative powers to help your body realize it doesn't have to panic about every little thing. (Just don’t overdo it—Lobelia is a bit of a wild child.)

Loquat leaves (Eriobotrya japonica): The subtropical superstar you didn’t know you needed. Loquat leaves come loaded with antioxidants and battle everything from inflammation and infection to pain, diabetes, and aging. Basically, it’s a leafy multitool with thousands of years of street cred. Grandma’s favorite for a reason.

Lungwort (Sticta pulmonaria): Lungs feeling like overcooked spaghetti? Lungwort’s on it. Named (and shaped) for what it helps, Lungwort clears respiratory junk, soothes stomach and urinary woes, and has been used historically to fight tuberculosis. If your lungs are throwing a tantrum, this mossy miracle’s got your back.
