Hey guys. Great idea with this forum community! Ive been a customer since around 2015 when Dan Macdonald talked about you on his channel. I've had many powerful spiritual experiences using your herbs, as well as having experienced what I consider deep healing. So thank you. It is clear that everything is grown with intent, reverence, purpose, and love.
With that in mind, my question is this: Some of my orders of teas and powders are noticeably more potent than others, I can feel a certain visceral electricity so to speak with some batches than others. In some instances I've even been able to meditate and feel the plant energy speaking to me, it's very hard to explain. If any of you know what I'm speaking of please share.
Is there a better time of year to purchase from you when the herbs are super fresh, or are you growing all year round ? And do you feel that with your increased popularity and demand for your herbs, has this had any depleting affect on the nutritional quality of your soils? Or how do you regenerate the soil? Thanks!
Hi Thomas,
I appreciate all the great feedback. It is aweeome to see you connect and heal with the plants, land and medicine in such a profound way. Your inquiry is not an easy one. I would start with that you must be one sensitive human - in a great way. So good on you. Keep doing the work to keep your sensitivity sky high!
Here is what comes up for my humble opinion. First of all, it is possible that your feeling the change of seasons. Certainly the plants will embody a very different healing energy in the winter than the summer. Second could be freshness. Even though our products are fresher than anything you can buy on the market, getting a dried herb or salve 2 days after it was harvested and alchemized vs. 2 weeks could impact its relative frequency. In any case, we do our best to deliver the herbal mediicine very fresh. On that note, all of our products sell out fresh, so nothing really "sits" on our shelf.
Another possibility is that your experience with our herbs may be a reflection of where you are at on your healing journey. For example, at times my system is totally open and in full resonance to receive the healing powers of the herbs, and other times it is a little more challenged or blocked up due to recent lifestyle choices like rest, practice and/or diet. This has the ability to significantly impact your experience.
As far as our growth goes, I honestly feel our processes, systems and experience has only become more consistent and intentional. As a result, it is my opinion that our products are more balanced with a higher efficacy that ever before.
Great inquiry. Hope I was able to shed some light.
Aloha, Doug
