Turning Medicine into Ritual
Fauna Elixirs was born in care packages from my acupuncturist and herbalist mom, she sent her favorite Chinese medicinal formulas blended with my favorite drinks to make sure I stayed healthy through my freshman year of college. We’ve spent the last 3 years testing Anxiety, immunity, PMS, perimenopause and digestive supportive blends to bring ancient herbal wisdom into modern everyday life. As tea drinkers, we see an opportunity to help people incorporate healing into a delicious daily ritual with full dose herbal and high quality targeted supplemental ingredients.
