One plant. One bottle. Infinite badassery.

Sometimes you don’t want the whole herbal marching band—you just want one rockstar plant doing its thing. That’s where our simples collection comes in: single-plant tinctures made the old-school way—just organic herbs, water, alcohol, and a whole lotta respect for nature’s finest.

Whether you're building your own apothecary, fine-tuning your wellness routine, or just vibing with your favorite green ally, simples give you the power to experiment, explore, and fine-tune your health like the wild botanical wizard you are.

We make tons of simples behind the scenes for our formulas, and now we're letting you raid the vault. Available in easy-to-carry 1 oz. glass dropper bottles—perfect for pockets, purses, and witchy utility belts.

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).

Wild Carrot seed (Daucus carota): Queen Anne’s Lace—royally useful, especially for your urinary drama. This regal little seed supports the kidneys, kicks uric acid to the curb, and shows up for everything from gout to water retention. But heads up: it’s an emmenagogue, so if you’re joyfully pregnant, kindly skip the queen's tea.

Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa): Hormonal hot mess? Let Wild Yam smooth things out.
Touted as nature’s estrogen-free estrogen, Wild Yam is here for PMS, menopause, low libido, and the occasional hormonal gremlin. Not actually estrogen, but it sure knows how to play the part. Mood swings, cramps, and dryness beware.

White Oak (Quercus alba): Bark with bite—and serious astringent swagger.
White Oak tightens what’s loose (we’re looking at you, hemorrhoids and swollen tissues), tones digestion, soothes fevers, and helps you battle colds like a stoic forest wizard. Astringent? Yes. Impressive? Also yes.

Wild Lettuce (Lactuca canadensis): The OG herbal chill pill.
Nicknamed “lettuce opium” (don’t get too excited—it’s milder), this milky wonder calms nerves, soothes pain, and helps you snooze like a well-fed baby. Ideal for tension, arthritis, and bedtime battles.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium): Named for Achilles, because this plant takes zero crap. This ancient wound-healing legend is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing, and an all-around infection-fighting powerhouse. It’s your first-aid kit in a bottle—but skip it if you’re pregnant. Thujone’s a bit of a party crasher.

Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus): Bitterness that cleans you out—in every way.
This sour root works wonders for sluggish digestion, hormone funk, skin eruptions, and iron-deficiency fatigue. A top-tier detox herb with bonus laxative action. Basically, Yellow Dock takes the trash out and restocks the pantry.

Yerba Maté (Ilex paraguariensis): Coffee’s cooler, less crashy cousin.
Yerba Maté fuels your brain, energizes your body, and boosts heart function without sending your nervous system into overdrive. Great for fatigue, CFS, and people who want energy without existential dread.

Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon californicum): For lungs that feel like they’ve been living in a dust storm. From colds and coughs to bronchitis and dry mouth, Yerba Santa is a lung-loving, mucus-moving, inflammation-calming powerhouse. Smells divine, works like a charm, and should be in every respiratory blend.
