Suggested use: 6-10 sprays on the tongue
How to Use:
About 15 minutes before a meal or right before the night gets started, spray 6-10 times on the tongue and let yourself taste the flavors before swallowing. This formula is ideal before date night dinner or any other intimate, connective activity. If you forget to take this blend before your food, no worries.*
You can always spray during or afterwards for warming, invigorating digestive support. "Spice it Up" Love Bitters can be used any time of day when occasional gas and bloating arise, or when you want to ground with warming and activating herbs in order to find your center and connect.*
DIGESTION + LIBIDO SUPPORT
Invigorate your fire
About the
Formula
Aphrodisiac herbs: friend or “faux”?
What we refer to in the plant world as “aphrodisiacs" are not magic bullet sexual tonics, but rather, they are what one of my herbalism teachers calls “wonder tonics.” They increase the desire to experience your human body with interest and curiosity.*
Supporting healthy libido requires helping our nervous systems to maintain both balance and flexibility; the ability to enter into a parasympathetic state of rest and relaxation so that we may truly feel the spectrum of human pleasure. If you’re familiar with our formulas, you know that bitter digestive tonics are herbs that do just that — as they stimulate our vagus nerve in order to help us move into “rest and digest” mode despite occasional stress.*
Aiding libido means that we must ensure our bodily fluids are flowing freely so that blood can flow where it needs to, in order to heighten sensation and arousal. Warming, invigorating herbs shine here as they support healthy blood circulation and the movement of fluids.*
Spice It Up Love Bitters contains a blend of nervous-system-focused bitters that help us relax, as well as warming digestive “carminatives” that direct blood and Qi downwards in order to aid in healthy digestion and elimination, healthy blood flow, desire, and vitality.*

The story
behind the formula
While embarking on a journey that I like to call “learning how to feel” (which is the sequel to my last two years of “learning how to be human”), I created The Connection Collection: a series of herbal formulas I’ve used along the way to go towards that feeling of freedom that only comes from feeling the full spectrum of my true emotions — both the joy and the grief, sometimes all at once.
After working with rose medicine and feeling profound effects and shifts in my life and my capacity to be with my own emotions, I created a line of intentional tinctures and tea, meant to be used in mocktails, before meals, before intimacy, or during self care rituals to deepen one’s ability to truly be in their body. It is my honor to share this collection with you, so that we all may learn to feel again together after the trials we’ve been through as a collective. Here’s to steeping in all the feelings and showing up fully with the courage of a lion’s heart.

Damiana
Turnera diffusa
Think of this warming herb as Mother Nature’s love potion: a passion-inspiring, digestion-supporting, mood-enhancing, nerve-calming powerhouse most commonly used as a supportive tonic for libido. Helpful for those feeling rundown, in need of an herbal ally to help reignite their vivacious spirit.*
-
Cacao
Theobroma cacao
As an all encompassing digestive, respiratory, and cardiac bitter, Cacao invigorates and fortifies the spirit, clears heat from the heart-mind, and maintains healthy blood flow.

-
Gentian
Gentiana lutea
Gentian is one of the most powerful digestive bitter tonics we have. Used traditionally for damp heat and stagnation in the stomach and liver meridians, she gives us a boost to say goodbye to what is no longer serving us (whether that’s something physical we need to eliminate through the digestive system, or thoughts and beliefs we’ve been chewing on).*
-
Orange Peel
Citrus sinensis
For hundreds of years, orange peels have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, primarily in immune-supporting and digestive remedies. This often-overlooked part of the fruit is perhaps the most beneficial of all, rich in phytochemicals and bitter compounds that support gut and lung health.*
-
Cinnamon
Cinnamomum spp.
Cinnamon might already be a staple in your spice cabinet, but this digestive and immune powerhouse deserves prime real estate in your herbalism toolkit, too.*
-
Cardamom
Elettaria cardamomum
This aromatic, blood-moving “Queen of Spices” supports digestive fire and libido with its grounding and invigorating properties. While often utilized as a digestive tonic, Cardamom’s warming and activating nature is responsible for this herb’s long history as an “aphrodisiac” herb.*
-
Rose
Rosa spp
Not just stunning to look at, our beloved Rose imbues us with her beauty both internally and externally. Antioxidant-rich, soul-nourishing, and supportive to the mind and heart, roses have been used in traditional remedies for centuries to clear “heat,” open the heart, move Blood and Qi, and promote healthy emotional balance.*
