This Gardenia tincture is made with the fresh flowers that bloom seasonally in my own garden. For this reason, supplies may run out and won't be re-stocked until the following season.

Gardenia's presence feels supple, sexy, and nourishing. She is not afraid to luxuriate or take up space, and is said to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, and anti-anxiety properties. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gardenia flowers have been used to release excess heat from the body's systems and increase yin energy in the body.
