Lineage | Alterative Ally
Product Guide
A Guide to Lineage
Some medicines work over time.
And some work across it.
Lineage does both, because healing is sometimes generations in the making.
Built upon a foundation of traditional alterative herbs, this formula was designed to support the body's natural processes of renewal through the blood, liver, lymphatic system, kidneys, and connective tissues. Alterative herbs work gradually, encouraging healthy elimination, circulation, and restoration over weeks and months of consistent use.
At the same time, Lineage was created for another kind of renewal.
It honors the understanding that healing often asks us to look backward before we can move forward. As the body slowly releases what no longer serves it, we are invited to do the same with inherited stories, long-held patterns, and the beliefs that quietly shape our lives.
This is medicine for deep roots.

Suggested Use
Take 2-4 dropperfuls daily.
Alterative herbs are traditionally used over weeks to months rather than days. Consider working with Lineage consistently for 6-8 weeks, allowing the plants time to support healthy liver function, lymphatic movement, circulation, elimination, and the body's natural processes of renewal.
Pair with good hydration and mineral-rich nourishing herbal infusions to support the body's innate capacity for restoration.
Not recommended during pregnancy. Consult your qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you have significant liver or kidney disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or are taking prescription medications.
The Invitation
Healing rarely happens all at once.
The body renews itself quietly, one cell at a time. Relationships deepen one conversation at a time. Trust is rebuilt one choice at a time.
Perhaps the same is true of inheritance.
Lineage invites you into a relationship with plants that have long been trusted to support the body's slow work of restoration, while gently asking a deeper question:
What will you choose to carry forward?
Affirmation
I honor what shaped me.
I release what no longer serves me.
I carry forward only what I choose to claim as my own.
Emotional & Energetic Themes
• Family systems work
• Generational trauma
• Ancestral healing
• Inner child work
• Grief and transition
• Releasing inherited patterns
• Strengthening resilience
• Choosing what to carry forward
LINEAGE
Alterative Ally
Blood • Bone • Memory
Lineage was crafted to support deep ancestral work, to encourage the gentle release of inherited burdens, and to nourish the gifts carried forward through the bloodline.
Built upon a foundation of traditional alterative roots and heart-centered botanicals, this formula works through the body's natural pathways of transformation, circulation, elimination, and renewal.
Alteratives have long been valued by herbalists for helping the body clear stagnation while encouraging steady, long-term restoration from within.
Burdock, Yellow Dock, Dandelion, Red Root, and Red Clover help clear stagnation and support healthy blood, liver, lymphatic, and kidney function, while Angelica offers movement and guidance through transition and restoration. Rose, Cacao, Licorice Root, and Cardamom bring warmth, remembrance, nourishment, and heart connection.
This is a medicine for those called to explore the stories carried within blood, bone, and memory. It honors both the challenges and the strengths inherited from those who came before us, helping clear what no longer serves while strengthening the wisdom, resilience, and gifts that remain.
Not every inheritance can be seen.
Some are written in family stories.
Some are held in the body.
Some arrive as quiet strengths waiting to be remembered.
Lineage was created to accompany the lifelong work of discernment: honoring what shaped us, releasing what no longer serves, and choosing what we will pass on.
