Roses are a favorite southern flower. Most know about its beauty, but did you know that it is also extremely medicinal?

It is packed with vitamin C, but also A, E, B-complex vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Roses are excellent as a cardiac tonic, for liver support and neuralgia.

We make a Rose Elixir!

Heart medicine. For emotional & spiritual uplift. Reclaiming fortitude & powerful softness. For keeping hearts open while facing onslaught of oppressions. Mixes well with holy basil, lemon balm, or spicy aphrodisiacs.

All of our plant medicines are locally grown in and around Bvlbancha. We only harvest our plant relatives in good relation with the Earth, their spirit, and during their season. Bvlbancha collective members harvest and prepare our medicine collectively. 75% of our medicine goes back to the Indigenous community in and around Bvlbancha, as well as to people in need. Only 25% of our medicines are marked for sale. The sale of those medicines goes to support Indigenous communities locally and through solidarity.
