Collection: Tiffany's Favorites

As small batch herbalists, we're both our own guinea pigs and most loyal customers. So, naturally, we've found a thing or two that have worked for us through trial and.. trial!

1. Liver & Skin Detox Vinegar Tonic has been a major game-changer when it comes to clearing up my skin. I've been having uncontrollable breakouts since January 2020 and no amount of skincare products or remedies were working... I started drinking 1 tbsp of this vinegar every morning on an empty stomach and my face immediately stopped producing new blemishes the next day.

If you're interested in this product but aren't ready to commit, check out my simplified 2-ingredient version of it here which you can easily make at home!

2. Liquid Armour is the immune-boosting tincture I always carry with me. Tinctures are traveling medicine. Compact, un-fussy, and easy to use. In the US, we don't have much by way of illness prevention. I can think of ONE sugary packet of vitamin C mix that we sometimes take during flu season or at the onset of a potential bug but not much else.

Sometimes we need an extra boost when we're slacking on the important things (diet, exercise, fresh air and sunshine) to keep our immune system on high function.

3. Motion Potion Pain Ointment is a product that hasn't ceased to amaze me. I have weak knees which will ache at varying degrees of pain depending on how hard I've exerted myself or which way I shouldn't have bent it during exercise. There is an immediate warming and numbing sensation when I apply this product and I recover much faster from discomfort after using this. I also apply this to my lower abdomen and upper thighs during my cycle which also offers instant pain relief.

The most surprising application has been when I rubbed it on my cheekbone during a bout of stress-related facial spasm. (Perhaps not so surprising given the efficacy of CBD on spasticity). The spasm significantly eased up and within 4 hours, had gone away completely. I've had facial spasms last for up to 24 hours and I cannot stress how irritating it is.

4. Antiviral Balm for Cold Sore Relief SAVED me during my first New York winter. I sprouted my first cold sore (ICK!) and I'll spare you the details but this balm protected my wound from the elements and kept it moisturized throughout recovery. There's no overnight treatment for a blistering cold sore but this absolutely reduced the cold sore's lifespan.
