 🌿 Why We Grow These Plants for Our Balm

We grow mullein, peppermint, and plantain with purpose — because these plants are powerful, affordable, and accessible for anyone. Each one brings its own healing energy, and when combined, they create a natural balm that supports everyday aches, skin health, and deeper wellness. By growing these herbs ourselves, we ensure purity, quality, and a connection to the plants that help us. This is part of our commitment to health and wellness that does not depend on your bank account — real, simple, natural support grown with love and intention.
