Coastal Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens)
Harvested from the Apothecary garden, young Redwood tips bring the fresh green energy of Spring to this meditative blend. Steadfast stewards of coastal Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, these green giants provide habitat for wildlife and conserve moisture for vibrant forests. Medicinally, indigenous communities used a heated poultice of the leaves to treat earaches and the gummy sap used as a stimulant and tonic to support convalescence. Beyond the utility of its wood for modern construction, the fibrous bark was harvested for insulation purposes and also for making paper.
