Ruta gravelens
Rue is a bitter, pungent, warming herb with a surprising scent reminiscent of tropical fruit. It has an affinity towards nerves, tendons, the circulatory system, the liver, the spleen, and the uterus. Healers have used rue tea for muscle spasms and strains, menstrual cramps, stagnant menses, sexual trauma, and circulation issues. This is a powerful and potentially dangerous plant. It must be used with caution and awareness of risks.
*Rue is toxic when taken in excess. Dose carefully, and use only for short periods. Skin contact with the fresh plant or certain rue products can cause severe skin reactions to sunlight. Rue is a potent blood-mover, and has abortifacient effects. Do not take during pregnancy or nursing. As with all of our product descriptions, this should not be considered a full list of all possible contraindications*

"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."
