From the beginning, Aurora’s Blendz has been about healing through ritual/consistency, the warmth of steeping herbs, the scent that fills your space, the act of slowing down to take a sip and connect to your body.
But as I’ve continued growing, healing, and working one-on-one with so many of you, I’ve realized something powerful: healing can’t wait for the perfect moment to brew a cup of tea. It has to meet you where you are, on busy mornings, long work days, travel weeks, or moments when your body needs support but you just can’t slow down.
That’s where herbal extracts come in.
And today, I want to take you behind the scenes of how and why I create them the way I do.
The Intention Behind the Extracts
Every extract begins with one purpose, to make healing simple, effective, and sustainable without compromising on quality or connection.
These are not mass-produced tinctures. They’re handcrafted in small batches with precision and care, using controlled heat extraction on low temperatures to pull the full medicinal and energetic properties from each plant.
This method ensures that the extracts are alive, rich in active compounds, yet gentle enough for daily use.
Why We Use Low-Temperature Heat Extraction
Most herbal tinctures are made using alcohol, but at Aurora’s Blendz, we use a controlled heat extraction method that allows the herbs to release their healing properties slowly and safely into a glycerin and distilled water base.
Why low heat? Because heat changes everything.
Too much, and the delicate compounds in herbs, their enzymes, aromatics, and volatile oils, are destroyed. Too little, and the extraction is incomplete.
Our low-temperature process warms the herbs just enough to open their cellular structure, releasing vitamins, minerals, and plant constituents without damaging their potency. The result is a smooth, powerful extract that’s naturally shelf-stable, sweet to the taste, and energetically balanced.
This is the alchemy of herbal healing, science, intention, and intuition in one bottle.
Why We Use Distilled Water
Distilled water is pure, completely free of minerals, bacteria, and impurities.
This purity allows the herbs’ own minerals and nutrients to shine through without interference.
Unlike purified or spring water, distilled water acts as a neutral carrier, it doesn’t alter the herbal profile, ensuring that what you taste and feel comes directly from the plants themselves.
Every drop of water in these extracts carries only what’s meant for your body, nothing extra, nothing artificial.
Why We Use 100% Plant-Based Vegetable Glycerin
We use food-grade, plant-based glycerin instead of alcohol because it’s gentle, naturally sweet, and supportive of the nervous system.
Glycerin acts as both a preservative and an extractor, pulling out water-soluble plant compounds while preserving their natural flavors and energetic balance.
It also gives the extracts their lightly sweet taste, a taste that does more than please your palate.
The Nervous System: The Soul of Your Healing
For me, healing always begins with the nervous system.
It’s the foundation, the communication bridge between the mind, body, and spirit.
When the nervous system is calm and nourished, the body can receive healing. When it’s overstimulated, the body resists it.
That’s why every herbal extract I make is intentionally crafted to nourish the sweet taste bud first, the taste that directly connects to the nervous system and signals safety to the body.
That first sweet note on your tongue is more than flavor, it’s a reminder to your body that it’s safe to rest, repair, and receive.
This isn’t just herbal formulation; it’s energy work.
It’s about bringing the body back to peace, so it can do what it was always designed to do, heal itself.
Healing Should Be Accessible
Not everyone has the time or ability to brew a tea three times a day.
Some people travel, work long hours, or simply need something that fits into a busy schedule, without losing the depth and quality of herbal healing.
That’s what these extracts offer: ease, accessibility, and consistency.
Healing that moves with you.
In Closing
These extracts are the next chapter of Aurora’s Blendz, a reflection of years of healing, teaching, and listening.
They’re more than products; they’re an invitation to make healing a lifestyle, not a season.
To take your herbs with intention.
To feed your nervous system before your stress does.
To honor your body every single day, one drop at a time.
