^^Sustainably Wildharvested

Devil's Club Root Bark (Oplopanax horridus) is part of the Araliaceae family and thrives in the lush, moist forests of the Pacific Northwest, particularly in British Columbia and Alaska. This remarkable plant can grow up to 10 feet tall, featuring large, spiky leaves and thorny stems. The root bark itself is typically harvested in the spring or fall when its energy is at its peak. Harvesters carefully strip the bark from the roots, ensuring that the plant can continue to thrive in its natural habitat.

Traditionally, Devil's Club Root Bark has been utilized in various cultural practices. Indigenous peoples of North America have long valued it for its multifaceted properties, often using it in tinctures, teas, and poultices to promote overall wellness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the root bark is thought to support the balance of energies within the body. In Ayurveda, it is recognized for its ability to enhance vitality and support the body's natural rhythms.*
