A.M. VITALITY PRACTICES (RECIPE INCLUDED)
We’re all about growing in vitality. In TCM this is called jing, our essence. Raising our sense of well-being, even for the best eaterexercisermeditator, includes the benefits found in targeted support. Supplements.
Supplements get a bad rap, but at Boketto they’re NOT a dirty word. Rather, we’ve seen them support clients and customers for years, as well as experienced the benefits ourselves. Taking a capsule (or 4) is part of our morning ritual. Dialing up or down seasonally as needed is a pro move. And we’re here to help.
We stand by our staple apothecary items and are stoked about the new items in our apothecary— including herbal formulas that address painful periods, moodiness, insomnia, and more. Read on!
