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).

Sage (Salvia officinalis): For brains, bellies, and sweaty situations.
Sage isn’t just the star of Thanksgiving stuffing—it’s a multitasking powerhouse. Got gas, bloating, brain fog, or spontaneous sweat-a-thons? Sage steps in with digestive charm, cognitive support, and a deodorizing attitude. It’s been used for everything from memory loss to hot flashes to too much spit (yes, that’s a thing). Just don’t overdo it—it’s potent, hormonal, and definitely not breastfeeding-friendly. You can use it to dry breast milk up though!

St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum): The OG mood lifter (with a serious ‘don’t mix me’ warning label). Feeling blue? St. John’s Wort has been the go-to for natural mood support since medieval times. Great for depression, menopause, ADHD, and nerve support—but seriously, do not combine with pharmaceuticals unless you want to be your pharmacist’s next horror story.

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora): When your nerves are fried and your brain is trying to quit. Skullcap is the mellow-out herb of dreams. It soothes anxious minds, helps with sleep, and chills out frazzled nerves like a warm weighted blanket for your neurons. Plus, it’s been used for fevers, epilepsy, and general existential dread.

Spilanthes (Toothache Plant) (Acmella oleracea): Nature’s numbing agent—and much cooler than Orajel. Got a toothache? Cut? Weird tropical parasite situation? Spilanthes is here to numb, disinfect, and generally tell germs to take a hike. Bonus: It’s a natural immune booster and might just tingle your taste buds into oblivion.

Spiny Sow Thistle (Sonchus asper): The punk rock vitamin boost you didn’t know you needed. Packed with Vitamins C and K, this scrappy weed tackles indigestion, boils, jaundice, and liver crankiness. It even helps with opioid withdrawal support—proof that even thorny weeds can be total heroes.

Stone Root (Collinsonia canadensis): Urinary drama? Stone Root’s your solid bet.
This rockstar of an herb is your go-to for bladder pain, kidney stones, water retention, and uric acid overload. Basically, if your plumbing's mad, Stone Root helps patch it up without calling an expensive specialist.

Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua): The sweeter side of microbial warfare.
Sweet Annie fights infections from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites like a champ. Traditional remedy for dysentery, modern studies for Lyme support—either way, it’s not just a pretty name. It's herbal steel wrapped in a delicate fragrance.

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris): Tiny leaves. Big-time germ-slaying energy.
From coughs to colic to gut grumbles, Thyme has your back—and your lungs, and your stomach. Modern studies show it can outkill bleach on pathogens, which is frankly just rude (to bleach). Thyme is mighty—and surprisingly polite about it.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Golden root, golden reputation.
Turmeric fights inflammation, fends off heart disease, supports brain health, and makes your joints—and your soul—feel better. Ancient herb? Yep. Modern powerhouse? Also yep. Add it to your life if you love being functional.

Usnea (Usnea): Old Man’s Beard: the lichen your immune system secretly loves.
This funky-looking antimicrobial lichen is a boss at fighting sore throats, lung infections, and skin funk. Usnic acid targets bad bacteria like it’s got a personal grudge—and in Germany, they basically gave it a medical diploma.
