Cozy up on these crisp autumn mornings with a cup of warm golden milk. Golden milk is a time-honored Ayurvedic recipe featuring turmeric with other roots and warming spices. Our formula provides all the health benefits of turmeric, with the added digestive benefits of ginger and cardamom, the adaptogenic qualities of ashwagandha, and the improved absorbability from black pepper. Did you know that the addition of piperine (from black pepper) boosts the bioavailability of curcumin (key constituent in turmeric) in humans by 2000%? This is achieved by adding just 1% piperine by weight, as published in Planta Medica! 🍂 Best of all, our roots are freeze-dried, so the taste and smell is incredibly fresh, and nutrient retention is high as can be! ✨ Our delicious blend makes it super easy to whip up a cup of golden milk - just warm up (if preferred) 1 cup of milk or your favorite milk alternative, and whisk in 2 teaspoons of our Golden Milk powder and honey or maple syrup to taste. 😋 #goldenmilk #ayurvedicrecipes #musculoskeletalhealth #digestivehealth #adaptogens #liverhealth #goldenmilklatte #autumnbeverages #herbalism #turmeric #curcumin #foodasmedicine #treatyourselftohealth
Harvesting golden Ginkgo leaves on the farm today! 🍂 We wait for the leaves to turn yellow, as this is the stage when they have developed the highest concentration of biflavones. 🌟 The Ginkgo tree is actually the oldest living species of plant on earth! It has been in existence for 270 million years without modifications, as it has a remarkable resistance to environmental stress. Native to China, Ginkgo has been used in Chinese herbalism for thousands of years. Modern research has validated its use for circulatory and cognitive support. • • #ginkgo #ginkgobiloba #goldenginkgo #cognitivesupport #circulatoryhealth #herbfarm #organicfarm #oregonfarm #pnwfarm #fallharvest #herbalism

The squad spreading out the last round of compost for the season, to prep the new Black Cohosh bed. 🌱 Our compost is 100% organic and blended on site. We get chicken manure from an organic farm and blend it with hay, leaves, and other plant matter, including the leftover herb material from making liquid extracts in our lab. It’s an ongoing cycle: the compost grows herbs to make supplements, and the supplements make scraps which make compost to grow more herbs! 🔄 Soon we’ll be cover cropping the beds and putting them to rest for winter! • • #organiccompost #organicfarming #closedloopsystem #pnwfarm #oregonfarm #herbfarm #herbalism #sustainableagriculture
Our shipment of bitter melons just arrived! We partner with a farm in Southern California for these beauties. 🍈 Bitter melons have a long history of use in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Modern studies support their use for carbohydrate metabolism and insulin response. They are also generally nutritive, being particularly high in carotenoids, vitamins C and A, iron and phosphorus. And, as a bitter, they support digestion! • We remove the seeds before fresh-freeze-drying them. You’d be hard-pressed to find a bitter melon supplement of higher quality than this! • • #bittermelon #momordicacharantia #freezedriedfruit #freezedriedherbs #herbalism #ancienttraditions #holistichealth #usgrown #carbohydratemetabolism #insulinresponse #glucosemetabolism #healthyglucosemetabolism
