We love Harmonic Arts for many reasons beyond the ground-breaking, delicious remedies it crafts, and we're about to tell you why.
Just as it's important to know where your food comes from, it's important to know where your herbs come from.

To top it off, Harmonic Arts takes sustainability practices and community impact very seriously by having 80% fully compostable packaging, being active members of the 1% For The Planet, and donating over $63,000 to forest conservation!

Next up - the syrups! These delicious, potent syrups are created with wild-harvested herbs and mushrooms, to ensure quality syrups that are easy to use and will be enjoyed by the whole family (including the pickiest of people). Let’s dive a little deeper into our favourite syrups:
Chaga Syrup: This is the go-to syrup if you’re looking to support immunity! Chaga has been used for centuries to help ease inflammation, stabilize blood sugar, enhance digestion, and support immunity- making this syrup perfect for an antioxidant boost and immune support.
Elderberry Syrup: This high antioxidant syrup supports you in maintaining your immune system. Elderberry is traditionally used to relieve symptoms of a cold or flu, such as cough, sore throat, and fevers. Bonus? It tastes great!
Ginger Syrup: This syrup reduces inflammation and relieves indigestion, bloating and nausea.
Lung & Cough Syrup: This syrup is a must have during cold and flu season, containing herbs known to support the lungs such as Mullein and Coltsfoot, as well as cough supporting herbs such as Blue Vervain.
