Social Impact & Environmental Consciousness
"As a small business owner I have been given a gift: Traditional medicine is a passion of mine, and I'm able to practice that passion every day. But caring for people and our planet is my responsibility. I do all I can to give back to my community and practice stewardship every step of the way." Alicia M. Genna, MS, L.Ac.

By packaging all her products in glass amber bottles and recycled paper she aims to preserve the vital force of the plants while reducing waste.
