Yerba Mansa Tincture (Wild-crafted)

Description

We wild-crafted this yerba mansa tincture this year (2022), because its transformative power is urgently needed in the world. While the aromatics of the tincture are less than those of our essential oil, or our hydrosol, in tincture form, you can ingest yerba mansa, to connect with her healing powers in yet another way.

She has become an important ally in our work on ancestral healing. She is also excellent for Shadow work and the alchemical stage of Mortificatio. Yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica) is the local plant form of the Dark Goddess. She reconnects us and guides us through the dark night of the soul. She connects us with our ancestral powers and allows us to embrace death as a necessary part of the cycle of death and rebirth.

Yerba Mansa, which is endemic to the southwestern US, grows abundantly in the region of New Mexico where we live. We are aware of the need to take care of it, protect it and not take too much of its rhizomes. We make sure that we respect the plant. When we harvest our goal is that you cannot tell that we have been there. We only take a small amount.

We invite you to use it sparingly to honor this deeply sacred plant.

Here’s a blog post that we wrote a few years ago about what yerba mansa taught us.
