Dried Organic Spilanthes Flowers (Acmella Oleracea) hand harvested and grown by Purple Sage Farms

This herb has an incredible interaction with nerves in your mouth when you eat it that is a very wild experience! It will cause heightened salivation and a numbing or tingling sensation that can last for minutes. It may ease tooth pain and is supportive for digestion and stomach issues. It is not harmful on a molecular level in any way, and the plant will not cause the numbing sensation on any other part of the body except the mouth. The sensation is caused by spilanthol in the flower that triggers the trigeminal nerve at the front of the mouth. The dried flowers have the same effect as the fresh flowers on the mouth and for digestion. This is a unique product of nature which means color, shape, and size may vary slightly from the pictures.

Our organic herbs and flowers are carefully hand harvested in their prime, when they taste their best, have the most nutritional value, and their essential oils are the most abundant. We gently air dry at low temperatures, preserving the flavor, color, and aroma of the plant while using minimal energy. We cut and sift the herbs by hand to keep the plants as whole as possible to reduce oxidation, which is a process of degradation. Therefore, this product may contain some stems and may require some sorting. Dried herbs and flowers can maintain quality for up to three years.
