The elder tree was never just a plant.

In European villages, it was one of the first things people reached for when the seasons changed. Black Elderberry — Sambucus nigra — has been part of European herbal tradition for centuries, and of Native American practice long before that. The deep purple berries were traditionally prepared as syrups, teas, and tinctures and passed down through generations as a seasonal staple. Not a wellness trend. A tradition that survived because it kept being reached for.

The berries contain anthocyanins — the pigments behind their deep purple colour — along with flavonoids, Vitamins A and C, and essential phytonutrients. A profile that held the attention of herbal practitioners across very different cultures for a very long time.
Our Black Elderberry Tincture is made from organic Sambucus nigra in our FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. Every batch third-party lab tested.

1 dropper, 1–3 times a day. Simple ritual, deep roots.

Save this for September. The season changes faster than you think.

Wild Geranium and Rose Geranium are not the same plant. Wild Geranium usually refers to Geranium maculatum, while Rose Geranium most often refers to Pelargonium graveolens or related rose-scented Pelargonium cultivars and hybrids. They belong to the same plant family, but their botanical identities are distinct.

That difference becomes much easier to picture when you meet the plants themselves. Crush a fragrant Rose Geranium leaf between your fingers, and its name quickly makes sense: the foliage can release a bright, floral scent with distinctly rose-like notes. Then imagine a shaded North American woodland in spring, where Wild Geranium grows low among the greenery with lobed leaves and pink-violet flowers. One draws attention through scent, the other through the quiet character of a woodland wildflower — a contrast that shows why the name on the front of a label never tells the whole story.

Long before modern laboratories existed, Lomatium played an important role in traditional herbal practices across western North America. For generations, this remarkable root was valued by Indigenous communities in seasonal and respiratory-focused routines.

Today, this plant is quietly returning to modern wellness conversations—not as a fleeting trend, but as a reminder of how deeply plant knowledge is rooted in human history.

In our latest YouTube video, we take a deep dive into the story, traditional uses, and history of Lomatium:

🍃 What makes this root so unique in traditional herbalism.
🍃 How it was historically used during seasonal shifts.

Do Spearmint Capsules Help with Hirsutism: What the Plant Actually Does (and Doesn't Do)

Spearmint for hirsutism gets searched thousands of times a month, and the conversation around it tends to fall into one of two equally unhelpful camps. Either someone is promising dramatic transformation from a daily cup of tea, or someone is dismissing the entire idea as wishful thinking with no basis in reality. The truth, as it usually is, sits somewhere more interesting than either extreme.

This article looks honestly at what spearmint is, what the research actually shows about its relationship with androgen hormones, and why the form you take it in matters more than most sources bother to mention.

Dogs feel the shift in summer more than most people realise. Disrupted routines, more guests, heat, travel, the lingering echo of fireworks. It adds up. And unlike us, they can't explain what's bothering them — they can only show it. Restlessness, clinginess, changes in appetite or sleep. These are signals worth paying attention to.

Most dog owners notice the signs but don't always connect them to stress: restlessness at night, changes in eating habits, clinginess, digestive upsets, or simply not being themselves. In summer, the triggers pile up — disrupted routines, heat, guests, travel, the aftermath of fireworks. A dog's nervous system isn't designed for constant low-level tension any more than ours is. The difference is he can't tell you. He can only show you — and hope you're paying attention.

Wolf's Anxiety is built around five herbs with centuries of traditional use for calm and emotional balance — reformulated into an alcohol-free tincture made specifically for dogs.

No complicated routine: just add the recommended amount to your dog's water bowl once to three times a day. Most dogs accept it without any hesitation.

Made in our FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. Third-party lab tested.

He takes care of you. Return the favour.

Pau d’arco vs Cat’s Claw: Two Traditional Amazonian Barks Compared

Pau d’arco vs Cat’s claw is often searched by people who see two South American bark herbs on the same shelf and want to know how they differ. Both belong to long herbal traditions. Both appear in modern tinctures, capsules, teas, and powders. The better comparison is not about which plant looks more unusual. It is about how each herb has been used, what kind of routine it fits, and why the two should not be treated as the same botanical.

Pau d’arco is usually connected with lapacho, taheebo, and warm bark preparations. Cat’s claw is known as uña de gato and is often chosen in tincture or capsule form. Their traditional settings overlap, but their place in a wellness routine is different enough to deserve a clear comparison. More useful than how each plant looks is what it was traditionally reached for: both have long been taken to support everyday wellbeing, and each still fits a slightly different daily routine today.

Ready to dive deeper into traditional herbal wisdom? Learn how to choose between these two legendary South American barks for your wellness routine.

You read the same sentence three times. It still didn't land.

That's not distraction. That's brain fog — and it's a signal worth paying attention to.

Buddhist monks used Lion's Mane for centuries to support focus during long meditation. Samurai warriors kept it close. Traditional Chinese practitioners noticed something unusual about this mushroom long before modern research caught up.
Hericenones and erinacines. The compounds that held centuries of attention.

If someone in your life has read the same email four times today — this one's for them. Send it their way.

Pleurisy root vs butterfly w**d often looks confusing at first because the two names sound like two different herbs. In most cases, they point to the same plant: Asclepias tuberosa, a North American milkw**d known for bright orange flowers, dry open habitats, and a long place in traditional plant language.

The difference matters when you move from a garden name to a supplement label. Butterfly w**d brings the flower to mind: color, pollinators, summer fields, and native plantings. Pleurisy root brings the root into focus, which is why this older name still appears in traditional herbal products today. For someone choosing a Secrets of the Tribe formula, the botanical name keeps the story clear, while the format helps the herb fit into a real daily routine.

Exploring how traditional names translate into modern herbal practices is the best way to make mindful choices for your wellness routine. Discover more about how this remarkable native botanical is prepared and utilized today.
