Stevia Leaf

Stevia is the apothecary’s "Sugar of the Earth." A vibrant green leaf with an extraordinary secret, it possesses a sweetness hundreds of times more potent than cane sugar, yet it carries no glycemic weight. It is a master of "Sweet Balance," providing the delight of sweetness without the heavy "crash" or stagnation associated with traditional sugars.

• Support: Traditionally used as a natural, calorie-free sweetener that does not impact blood sugar levels. It is a favorite for those seeking to support healthy metabolic function while still honoring their palate’s desire for sweetness.

• Spirit: An herb of "Gentle Joy" and "Harmonious Substitution." Metaphysically, it is used to attract "sweet" opportunities without the "sticky" consequences. It helps to soften a rigid disposition and find pleasure in the simpler, lighter aspects of life.

• Packaging: Arrives in a heat-sealed kraft bag to keep the leaves crisp and protect the sweet steviol glycosides from moisture.

How to Use:

• The Harmonizing Pinch: Add just a tiny pinch (a little goes a very long way!) to any bitter or medicinal tea, such as Motherwort or Oregon Grape Root, to make the medicine more palatable.

• Apothecary Extract: Steep a handful of leaves in a small jar of vodka or vegetable glycerin for 2 weeks to create your own liquid sweetener for your daily coffee or rituals.

• Sweetness Magnet: Carry a leaf in your pocket or place it on your altar to invite "sweet" news, kind words, and gentle transitions into your current life cycle.
