Your Daily Dose of Zen
the At-Home Apothecary Toolkit
a simple, beautiful way of incorporating herbs into your life, whenever you need them
it’s time to stop wasting time & money
on supplements for a few reasons:
unregulated ingredients
Especially in the U.S, supplement products can go to market without and safety, purity or quality testing. There’s no regulatory standards for what is safe and in what dose, and no one is checking on whether what’s on the bottle is actually what’s in the bottle.
$$$ high costs $$$
Supplements are often expensive. The Curcumin market alone is expected to be worth $152 million by 2027… IT’S TURMERIC. You can buy that sh*t for pennies.
undigestible tablets
Those pretty white pressed pills are pressed with hundreds of pounds of pressure, meaning they often don’t break down until they’re almost through the digestive tract, or they don’t break down at all (talk about throwing money down the toilet).
then there’s AYURVEDA
The oldest documented form of medicine in history teaches that your digestion starts in the mouth, and a large part of the efficacy of plant medicine is in tasting the herbs on the tongue. Loose herbs are super affordable, often found in the grocery isle, and easy to incorporate into all kinds of healing recipes or custom herbal blends to suit your own needs!
And guess what?
When you take an herb in herb form,
it tastes like an herb.
When you take an herb in supplement form?
Don’t taste it. it tastes like ass.
(and by ass I mean it tastes like a bunch of added chemicals, preservatives and binding agents your body just doesn’t need).

It’s time to make a ritual of self-care
The unbelievably small investment for you?
meet Ayurveda health counselor Carly banks.
I’m Carly Banks, former over-spender in the supplement aisle, turned thoughtful plant-medicine healer (and delicious herbal latte drinker).
I help overwhelmed, exhausted and behind-the-ball women in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s to feel confident, energized and in control of their lives.
I help them by providing simplified strategies for their self-care. I help them adopt daily routines for restful sleep, all-day energy, mental clarity and a sense of ease, that fit into their current chaotic schedule.
I’m here to invite women back to their roots as the healers of their families and their communities. And to do it in a way that feels delightful. Adding herbs to your morning latte, your afternoon cocktail, or a chocolatey dessert is so much more delightful than placing yet another ugly plastic bottle of pills on your countertop.
Have any Questions?
+ Are the bottles of herbs included?
The bottles and herbs are not included in the At-Home Apothecary toolkit. The Downloadable guide provides resources for high-quality herbs and beautiful, affordable bottles (though you can use whatever containers you like). The downloadable labels are simple to print and affix to your apothecary jars of choice.
+ Am I just supposed to eat powdered herbs by the spoonful?
Based on your Ayurvedic body type (your dosha), the guide recommends multiple options for taking your herbs - as a tincture, a tea, in a honey lick, and more.
+ Are the herbs I need expensive
No! Buying herbs in powder form is far less expensive than purchasing an overly processed tablet from the supplement store. Many of the herbs work out to under $15 for a 5 month supply!
+ Will these herbs heal my ___?
