Cast Iron

A Message from the Ancestors

“We couldn’t afford to break. So we built ourselves like iron.”
“When the body was weak, we turned to the roots.

When the air was heavy, we brewed the bark. And when they gave us scraps, we made medicine.”

Cast Iron is more than protection.
It’s bitter bark, iron-rich root, and memory in motion.

“You may bend—but you will not rust.”

Why “Cast Iron”?

In every Afro-Caribbean home, the cast iron pot holds more than food—it holds history, survival, and healing. Seasoned over fire and passed down through generations, it absorbs what it endures and gives back strength. This bottle follows that same principle: tough, bitter, and built to last. Cast Iron is immune support the ancestral way—layered, lasting, and fortified by tradition.

Cast Iron is a handcrafted herbal spirit bottle infused with herbs, roots, and barks traditionally used to support the body's resilience and internal defenses. Inspired by Caribbean bush remedies and fortified family rituals, this bitter blend is meant to be steeped in the spirit of your choice—then sipped slowly, intentionally, and in alignment with the seasons.

Perfect during seasonal shifts, post-travel, or moments of depletion, it’s not just a tonic—it’s your immune ritual.
