Experience Vibrant Health

Through the healing power of plants

We’re a woman-owned & women-run apothecary here to help you experience radiant well-being with herbal medicine.

Because learning to use plants for healing can be mind-boggling, we’re here to guide you through the garden.

Our staff of certified clinical herbalists are here to support you as a whole person–not a collection of labels and pathologies. 

We offer private consultations and craft custom formulas suited to your unique needs because we believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to health. 

Come visit us to explore our extensive apothecary of organic and/or locally-sourced dried herbs, extracts, and oils to reclaim a healthier you.

Sunshine Bitters Sunshine Bitters Sunshine Bitters
Sunshine Bitters
from $17.50

Does your belly need a little sunshine/digestive support? This is our take on classic warming digestive bitters. Good digestive “fire” supports overall wellness, especially general mood or outlook. Plus, as we age, or habitually eat inappropriate foods, our digestive fire can dampen. Taken before meals in a little water, these tasty and warming bitters rekindle the digestive fire and bring balance.

Ingredients: A blend of Organic Cane Spirits (35 – 55%), Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Root, Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare), Gentian (Gentiana lutea) Root, Angelica (Angelica archangelica) Root, Orange (Cirtus sinensis) Peel, Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) Root, and Ginger (Zingiber officinalis) Root.

  • “When I walked into the Elderberry three years ago, I didn’t realize I was making one of the best decisions for myself, my health and well-being.  Working with Jan and Heather has been an experience I truly treasure.  I am thankful that I decided to put my trust in their knowledge and expertise and embark on the journey to better health and healing with herbs.  For me, it has been a process of trials and adjustments and that has not been easy at times because I can fall into the “I want it fixed right now” mentality.  However, as a result of their gentle guidance and perseverance, I have been lucky enough to experience the healing power of herbs….”
