Melissa officinalis
This popular member of the mint family was dubbed the "Elixir of Life" by the Swiss physician/alchemist/astrologer/"father of toxicology" Paracelsus. It is a cooling nervine with a deliciously mild lemony flavor. It has been used for centuries, even predating the Middle Ages, as a nervous system tonic. She is truly a balm for the body and spirit - soothing headache, anxiety, nervousness, depression, heartache, and grief - she brings light where there is darkness. Melissa has also been used to reduce hyperactivity and concentration issues, especially in children.
Tannins and other polyphenols are thought to deter certain viruses, rendering them unable to infect the body and spread.
Lemon Balm is an excellent ally for stomach distress and digestive concerns, headache, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, menstrual cramping, grief/heartache, seasonal affective disorder, and cold sores.

Solidago Canadensis
This is a single herb tincture prepared using wildcrafted goldenrod flowers.
It is a very common misconception that Goldenrod causes hay fever/seasonal allergies. The truth, however, is that it actually helps RELIEVE the symptoms that many people suffer throughout the spring, summer, and early autumn. The true culprit here is typically ragweed. Ragweed's light pollen travels through the air, riding the wind to deliver terrible waves of runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing and wheezing. Goldenrod, on the other hand, has pollen much too heavy to become airborne and relies on insects to pollenate. Goldenrod taken regularly throughout the allergy prone seasons can help keep the symptoms at bay.
Goldenrod has also has a long history of use in support of the bladder and urinary system. In Germany, it is officially approved for treating urinary infections and bladder inflammation.

The Steward, a guide in our desire to connect, both inward and outward. She aids in the collection and processing of new information and helps bring order to the chaos.
Ghost Pipe, Monotropa uniflora, also known as Indian Pipe, Ghost Flower, Corpse Plant. This strange and delicate flower lacks chlorophyll and therefore cannot generate energy through photosynthesis. Instead it relies on a myco-heterotrophic relationship, feeding off a host fungi. This fungi, in turn, is a mycorrhiza, meaning it is involved with a symbiotic relationship with trees. The fungus and the tree feed one another and then the Ghost Pipe taps into that nutrient base. When tapped into this complex network of energy, Ghost Pipe is processing information from two very different systems, two very different forms of consciousness. The mycelium of the fungus has no information center, it’s rapid, dark, diffuse, horizontal, a web constantly evolving and grounded in the earth. In contrast, the tree is vertical, slow, sky-reaching and bright, holding recorded memories deep within its rings. In order to handle being connected to both of these systems at ones, Ghost Pipe must have a very sophisticated information filtrating and processing mechanism.
Ghost Pipe connects us into this multi-directional energy and opens us for higher state of awareness and consciousness. Resembling a spine and brainstem, it helps us to receive and process all of this new information, just like our central nervous system, to avoid sensory overload. It gives us a glimpse into the weavings of the Web of Life and assists us in understanding and connecting with both inner and outer ecosystems. It acts as steward in our desire to connect - be it with ourselves, our community or our environment.
This essence has been charged with crystal energies to help facilitate this journey into knowledge and knowing.
