Queen Anne’s Lace has long been a secret among women as old as time. As a form of sovereign contraception, to use her was simple: Chew a spoonful of her seeds on “the morning after” pregnancy was a risk.
The way that Queen Anne’s Lace works is tricky, and no one knows exactly how she works, although many people have theories. The thought is that by blocking progesterone, QAL can be used as a form of contraception by preventing ovulation and implantation. But, she is also a reproductive tonic, helping to modulate hormones, regulate cycles, and promote fertility, depending on when she is used. She also is an antispasmodic and an emmenagogue, so she can be used to support a painful menses as well.
Beyond hormonal affinity, Queen Anne's Lace also has an affinity for the kidneys and urinary tract, along with the digestive system! As a natural antimicrobial and diuretic, Queen Anne's Lace can be supportive for symptoms of urinary tract infections, edema, and diarrhea or constipation.

Our Practices
Wildcrafted: Using wildcrafted plants in hand-batched herbal products brings a multitude of benefits. Wildcrafted plants are harvested from their natural habitats, ensuring they are free from pesticides and other chemicals, resulting in purer, more potent ingredients. This sustainable practice respects the environment, promoting biodiversity and the preservation of natural ecosystems. Wildcrafted herbs are often richer in medicinal properties due to their exposure to natural elements. Hand-batching these products ensures meticulous care and attention, enhancing the efficacy and quality of each herbal remedy.
Fresh Plant: Fresh plant extractions ensure the highest potency and effectiveness by capturing the plant's active constituents at their peak. This method preserves the natural integrity and full spectrum of the plant’s beneficial compounds. Using fresh plants results in more vibrant, bioavailable, and efficacious herbal products.
Small Batch: Creating in small batches ensure meticulous attention to detail and quality control, ultimately resulting in superior products. These methods allow for careful selection and processing of herbs, maximizing their potency and effectiveness. By producing in smaller quantities, artisans can maintain the highest standards, ensuring each tincture is crafted with precision and care.
