· EVERYDAY PLANT ALLIES ·

Nature wants to help us.

Forty-four wonderful everyday plants to find our strength again: adaptogens, mushrooms, plants for morning and evening, alternatives to drink, smoke and celebrate differently.

· GENTLE, EVERYDAY MEDICINES ·

Nature is here to strengthen us, to nourish us.

In the morning, roots to ground us, seeds to sprout our magic anew each day, mushrooms to connect us to the living world.

Guayusa, which the Kichwa of Ecuador long drank before dawn while telling each other their dreams; guarana of the Sateré-Mawé: treasures that wake us the way coffee does, from a place more alive, more animal, more rooted in the body.

Rasayana of ancient India, tonics of imperial China, royal plants of the northern peoples, great master plants of the Amazon: they teach us to walk upright, to stand tall again.

They support us deeply, in the invisible, sometimes imperceptibly. No matter: they are there, and they carry us.

And to celebrate, beautiful alternatives to drink and to smoke differently, more consciously.

An inner ground where we feel good and supported, where we let go of stress more than we store it.

Adaptogens
Adaptogens and Rasayanas — two traditions that found the same thing 5,000 years apart
In 1947, the Soviet pharmacologist Lazarev coined the word "adaptogen". Around 1000 BCE, the Charaka Samhita codified the Rasayanas — substances that restore the vital essence and lengthen life. Two traditions, two vocabularies, one and the same finding: certain plants raise the body's non-specific resistance to stress. What that means — and what it does not.
