The Plants

The Plants

Every Amauizon formula begins with a plant and the people who have kept its company for generations. These are our allies.

And their companions

Ashwagandha — Ayurveda’s grounding root. Lion’s Mane & Cordyceps — fruiting-body mushroom allies of clarity and stamina. Rose — devotion in flower form. Mugwort — the dreamer’s herb, grown on Maui. Black Maca — the rare Andean root of endurance. Yerba Mate (KA’A) — the Guaraní plant of connection. Reishi — the mushroom of calm embodiment. ʻŌhiʻa Lehua Honey — raw, single-origin Hawaiian honey, the carrier of our infusions.
