Sacred Medicines

Sacred Medicines is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) focused on developing standardized whole plant medicines to treat mental health conditions. Founded in 2020 by Dr. Leanna Standish and Dr. Victoria Hale, the company is initially focused on establishing an FDA regulatory pathway for a standardized Ayahuasca tea. Sacred Medicines cultivates its botanical ingredients, Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis, organically at an ethnobotanical preserve in Hawaii to ensure sustainable sourcing and avoid chemical waste. The company aims to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of its botanical drug product through group therapy clinical trials while prioritizing reciprocity and ecological stewardship with Indigenous communities.
