Mustaka-Cyperus rotundus
Mustaka or Nutgrass is a grassy shrub commonly found growing along rivers in India. This cooling, astringent, bitter herb is quite effective at treating and balancing damp (kapha) conditions. The aromatic tubers are used to help regulate the menstrual cycle and ease symptoms of PMS, from breast tenderness and bloating to depression and irritability. Because of its cooling nature, it is especially balancing for people who tend towards a pitta (hot, driven) constitution. It decreases liver congestion (thus supporting proper metabolism of hormones), stimulates digestion without overheating it, and can calm inflammatory skin problems, such as eczema related to poor liver function.

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
