The adrenals take on a major role of producing estrogen after the ovaries cease to. Due to our modern day lifestyle and stress levels, the adrenals often need a boost during this transitional time. This tonic supports healthy pineal gland, thyroid, and pituitary function. Take 1/4 tsp. in water up to three times daily. May take up to 3 months to feel full effects.

- Dandelion is a perennial herb native to Europe and prefers moist sites. Its taproot is often branched and can be up to several feet long. Seed dispersed is aided by the attached parachute-like hairs and the plant also reproduces via new shoots from the root crowns. The leaves, ranging from 2 to 12 inches long, are clustered at the top of the root crown and divided into pairs of lobes which are either pointed or blunt at the tips. Often flowering up to nine months a year, the solitary flower heads are 1 to 2 inches across and composed of yellow petal-like ray flowers.
Baneberry is usually branched and has racemes of numerous small white flowers appearing in May through July. The flowers are borne in leaf axils or at the end of the stems. The large divided leaves are sharply toothed and between ¾” to 3 ½” long. The poisonous berries are bright red or waxy white and are clustered along the top of the stem. The berries are found from July through October. This member of the Buttercup family is found in moist forest areas and along stream banks throughout the Rocky Mountains.
Trillium is commonly known as Western Wake Robin, Pacific Trillium, or Western White Trillium. It is a member of the Trilliaceae family. It occurs in parts of the western United States and western Canada, usually in rich forest. In the northern part of its range, which includes southern British Columbia, extreme southwestern Alberta, Washington, Oregon and east to Montana, Wyoming and northern Colorado, it often grows under Douglas Fir trees. Other trees which frequently shade this Trillium include grand fir, western red cedar, and western hemlock.
Western Mugwort, like most others in the genus, is notorious for its variable foliage. Spring growth looks decidedly different from summer growth. If only looking at the leaf characteristics, the plant growing in low-elevation appears differently from its north-country kin. The entire leaves are occasionally lobed or serrated and alternate along the stem. New foliage can be bluish-green or silver-gray in hue. Flowers are inconspicuous and form noticeable terminal spikes inter-mixed with small leaves. When flowering the plant is upright and reaching for the sun, although it is not uncommon for flowering branches to droop in response to stem weakness or weighty flower spikes. This plant like other Artemisias is very fragrant and when the leaves are crushed they emit a characteristic Sage-like smell.
Sweet Cicely is one of the first herbs to appear in spring. It grows in various parts of the Rocky Mountains on low-lying moist lands, and flowers during May and June. Its leaves resemble those of the carrot. The spring umbels of the Sweet Cicely are pale yellow to greenish yellow. The sweet-scented flowers are hermaphroditic (have both male and female organs) and the plant is self-fertile. By summer the flowers have matured into long, thin, and angular dark seeds that taste like licorice. The fairly upright and thick roots have a strong scent similar to root beer with a spicy sweet flavor that leaves a tingling aftertaste.
