SOURCING WITH REVERENCE

In China, we’ve worked with the same vendor for over 40 years, collaborating with farmers to ethically harvest the finest traditional Chinese herbs for our TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) line. Additionally, for over two decades, we’ve unlocked the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda by forging profound partnerships with local cultivators across India’s rich landscapes. Through respectful collaboration, we ethically source potent Ayurvedic herbs steeped in centuries of tradition.
POWERING WITH THE ELEMENTS

By utilizing renewable resources, we craft our products in a way that recognizes the interconnectedness of energy and environment, reducing our carbon footprint.

Our innovative Chlorophyll stick packs mark a vital shift from liquid to powdered form, drastically reducing , water usage, and transportation emissions. This shift not only benefits the environment but also makes it more convenient for our customers to incorporate our products into their daily lives. Across our product lines, we’re continuously exploring ways to minimize waste. choice is a small way of honoring the connections between our products, our customers, and our posterity.
