5 Lesser-Known Herbs You’ll Love
When it comes to plant allies, what works great for one person might not work as well for you. That’s the
beauty of herbalism! It’s not a one-size-fits-all experience, so there’s a lot of room to experiment and
customize your approach to wellness.
Whether you’re an herbal novice or have been working with herbs for a while, we encourage you to broaden
your horizons with these 5 lesser-known herbs.
If you like Rhodiola, you’ll love the energy boost of our Guayusa
capsules. Both of these herbs offer
energy support and are nootropics that help you focus, plus they both come from very specific
regions. Guayusa, which we ethically source from Ecuador, is one of our newest offerings and only
comes in the capsule format. Each capsule brings you 80 mg of caffeine, but without the extra
jitters you might find in coffee or energy drinks. Guayusa
promotes natural energy, clear focus, and
antioxidant activity support.*
Valerian is one of those herbs that can really divide a room. Some
people swear by it, while others are
not the biggest fans. If you’ve tried Valerian and didn’t care for it, why not give California Poppy a
go? California Poppy was recognized by the U.S. Formulary of 1918 as “a powerful herb for calming and
supporting sleep.” It also provides traditional support for the nervous system. You can try out our
single herb California Poppy liquid herbal extract, or it’s
also one of the featured ingredients in our Herbs on the
Go: Bed Time™ spray.*
It’s no secret Turmeric is a powerhouse herb for multi-system support.
If you’re a fan, you’ll love Triphala, too. Both herbs are commonly used in Ayurveda, and Triphala is a
triple-threat combo of Amla, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki. In Sanskrit, Triphala actually means “three
fruits.” This herbal ally supports healthy digestion, the cardiovascular system, and is traditionally
used to support cleansing and detoxification. Additionally, Triphala provides traditional support for
the skin and eyes. Give our Triphala capsules a try – they are
FAIRWILD® Certified and Certified Organic!*
Calling all of our fellow nervous system support lovers! When you look at your herbal stash, is it a sea
of blue labels? There are so many awesome herbs for nervous system support, and Hops is one you
shouldn’t overlook. If you’ve tried Kava and are ready to mix things up,
check out Hops. While probably
best known as an ingredient for brewing beer, Hops provides traditional calming support of the nervous
system. And while it’s taste is intensely aromatic and bitter, it does not come with that numb-tongue
sensation you may find with Kava! Try out our single Hops liquid herbal
extract, or it’s also a featured herb in our Relaxing Sleep™
formula.*
If you know about Milk Thistle, then you’re likely familiar with its
ability to promote healthy liver function. While not an uncommon veggie by any means, Artichoke may not
be top of mind as an herbal ally. Did you know Artichoke also provides liver support, along with a host
of other benefits? The large, pointy, silvery leaves of the Cardoon variety are used in herbalism – and
our Artichoke is 100% Regenerative Organic Certified®. In addition to liver support, Artichoke helps
maintain established, normal cholesterol levels, support bile production and release, supports the
cardiovascular system, and supports the digestive system. Try our Regenerative Organic Certified Artichoke liquid herbal extract here!*
