We have been hard at work like the busy bee, creating care packages that marry our products together into a three-headed approach to assist in a variety of ailments. We’ve discovered that some of our products may be more effective when combined with other approaches, like for tension, headaches and migraines, so we brought together a medicinal salve, aromatherapy candle and a tea, because more often than not, a more complete method is stronger than a singular one. Throughout the winter, we will be working on several other care packages and kits, like that for Anxiety, Focus, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Addiction Recovery.

Herbalism is the study of botany and the use of plants intended for medicinal purposes. Plants have been the basis of medical treatments throughout human history, and such traditional medicines are still widely practiced today. Herbalists are practitioners of herbal medicine that have been around since the dawn of time, yet the art has faded out of the mainstream, replaced by fancy white jackets and titles and pharmaceutical drugs, many of which cause more harm and side effects than the intended benefit. These changes have ushered in a disconnect between people and the natural world around us. We’ve become strangers, aliens, to the world that we came from, which has caused a ripple of cause and effect throughout our culture. Without the herbalist, humans would not have survived to evolve as they have. And without the herbalist, the knowledge of the natural world may be forever lost.  (Article & Photo by Brandon Scott)
For generations, our family has lived with a strong connection to the natural world and have found results in the ancient wisdom of the old ways. At Woodland Herbal Apothecary, we focus on making all natural medicines and body care products that help and heal, and provide hope where there was none prior. While many of our recipes and much of our plant knowledge have been passed down through the generations, we continue to grow and learn and research. So, in providing alternatives to the chemical and toxin-riddled products that dominate the market, as well as the pharmaceutical ‘medicines’ that have more side effects than positive effects, we see a chance to do several goods and right several wrongs. In offering a choice for all who need it, towards a natural and healthy living, we can shine a light where ignorance was, offer education and work towards a better tomorrow. With every item purchased, we plant a local Ohio tree: starting with Red Maple, Quaking Aspen, White Pine, and Sassafras. The ultimate goal, however, is to do more than simply plant trees; it’s to transform a large segment of land that has experienced deforestation and death of its natural habitat, and to use the proceeds from our sales to recreate a forest so that we can let it grow wild and happy forever. We are searching for a public lands project, where we may reestablish life and the natural way of things, in hopes of preservation for future generations as well as to use the lands as an education place for life, growth and herbal medicine. Why should we save Nature? The natural world is the sustainer of life on this planet and without it, nothing exists; not us, not flowers, not animals, not anything. Mismanagement and corruption have had their day and we’re beginning to see the price we are all forced to pay. There is power in the natural world, power to heal and power to sustain in balance. We wish to reclaim that balance by choosing a greener world. “Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.” ―Cree Indian Prophecy We have a hope, a vision and a dream. A dream of living in harmony with Nature. A dream where we create a forest and let it grow wild with trees, animals, and gardens. A dream where perhaps an educational center might stand beyond the forest, where flowers and herb gardens are cared for and their beauty shared and learned by all ages. It is our dream to do something real, and with your patronage and support, we can move toward a better world and a greener tomorrow. |
