Our Yerba Santa Honey Extract is crafted from the aromatic leaves of Eriodictyon californicum, wild-gathered from the dry, sunlit hills of Southern Oregon. This resilient plant thrives in rocky, nutrient-poor soils—holding steady where little else grows. Its very presence speaks to strength, endurance, and the ability to draw clarity from heat and pressure.
Yerba Santa has been cherished by Indigenous communities including the Chumash, Maidu, and Pomo for generations. Deeply woven into both ceremony and daily life, it has been used to uplift the spirit, support transitions, and maintain balance through changing seasons.
Western herbalists like Michael Moore spoke of its warming, aromatic nature and its affinity for the chest and lungs—particularly in cool, damp environments. Its spicy-camphor scent and resinous quality reflect a long-standing reverence for its clearing and protective character.
Plant spirit herbalists often speak of Yerba Santa as an emotional ally—especially where grief, loss, or heaviness has settled in the chest. Its energy is gently encouraging: not forceful, but spacious. It reminds us to exhale, to release, and to move forward with greater lightness and resilience.

Ojas Naturals Honey Extracts are created using a proprietary process developed from traditional Ayurvedic methods. The honey used in the extraction process works to extract different constituents of the plants, providing a more complete extraction while also adding a pleasant, sweet flavor and, according to the Ayurvedic tradition, honey acts as a carrier during the digestive process, carrying and assimilating the herbs deeper into tissues.
