Recent herbal dalliances have found you executing one-person flash mobs and getting into heated arguments with stop signs.
Sounds like you’ve got a bad stash.
Give Rebecca Altman, the mastermind behind Kings Road Apothecary, a ring. The L.A.-based herbalist harvests nearly all of the ingredients in her line of tinctures, salves, and elixirs herself, ensuring they’re fresh, potent, and generally up to snuff.
Clear out brain cobwebs with Clarity and Focus Elixir (basil, Bacopa, rhodiola, and California sage honey) while soothing achy muscles with Busted Joint Ointment (coconut oil, cottonwood, goldenrod, and camphor). Relaxing Chamomile and Lavender bath scrub will have you sleeping like a baby (and make your skin as soft as one, too).
Have an ailment you can’t kick? Altman will hook you up with a custom blend.
She’s the kindest of buds.
Available at Platform, 5027 York Boulevard, between 50th and 51st Avenues, Highland Park (323-230-7475 or theplatformexperiment.com); at kingsroadapothecary.com, $8-$25.
