More specifically, they are the souls or spirits of past lives, and our species' collective love, wisdom, and suffering over the last several hundred thousand years. Ancestors of blood tend to be especially impactful. When we learn about plant medicines, we are mindful to access the spirit of our ancestral history. Ancestor reconnection and reverence is a worldwide, timeless form of relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoin the knowledgable staff of The Alchemist's Kitchen for a guided exploration and curated selection of ancestral plant remedies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll taste and learn about:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKanna:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eKanna is a hardy, woody succulent with bright green leaves and found in the deserts of South Africa.

It consists of a blend of cacao, vanilla, and roses using a triple spagyric extraction. The tincture has vasodilatory properties, which relax and allow the muscular walls of the arteries to widen. This increases blood flow, reducing blood pressure.
