For thousands of years, folk healers and indigenous cultures have used plant medicines for healing, spiritual guidance and unlocking new levels of human consciousness.

Microdosing is a practice in which plant medicines are taken in very small doses to deliver ongoing sub-perceptual changes to your spiritual and emotional wellbeing, which add up over time… without affecting your day to day functioning like a big dose of the plant medicine would.
