Sample of Products from the Apothecary
Individual Herbs
I’ve curated a collection of individual herbs, thoughtfully selected for their exceptional quality and connection to traditional herbal practices. Each one is offered in affordable quantities, making it easy to explore new botanicals or keep your favorites on hand. All are ethically sourced, and most are organic.
These herbs can be enjoyed in a variety of ways—such as crafting your own teas, incorporating them into culinary creations, or using them in personal rituals—allowing you to connect with them in the way that feels most meaningful to you.
Flower Essence
Individual and blended Wild Thistle Flower Essences are available as part of a personal ritual or self‑care practice. Each delicate essence is crafted with care from select blooms, honoring the traditions that inspire their use.
Drawing from the cultural and historical use of flowers in wellness traditions, these essences are intended to be enjoyed as part of your own mindful routine. Many people use them to symbolize balance, harmony, or vitality in their personal practices.
Herbal Bath Salts
Herbal bath salts and soaks are crafted in small batches, blending mineral-rich salts with thoughtfully selected botanicals. Each variety is inspired by the tradition of using herbs and aromatics to create a sensory, spa‑like experience at home.
Whether you prefer a floral, citrus, or grounding herbal blend, these soaks invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy a moment of relaxation and self‑care.
Powdered Herbs
Guided by the long‑standing traditions of herbal use and informed by modern herbal practice, Clinical Herbalist Michelle Spalding prepares powdered herb blends with care and attention to detail. Each blend is thoughtfully crafted to honor the natural qualities of the botanicals and their place in herbal tradition.
Through careful selection and combination, these powders are designed to offer a unique way to incorporate herbs into your daily rituals, whether in the kitchen or as part of your personal self‑care.
Tinctures
Our tincture collection includes both single‑herb extracts and thoughtfully crafted blended formulas, each inspired by long‑standing herbal traditions.
Whether you choose an individual herb or a harmonious combination, these tinctures offer another way to bring herbs into your life—especially on busy days when brewing tea isn’t an option.
Custom blends are available exclusively through private consultations, allowing for a more personalized approach to your herbal experience.
Vagus Nerve Oil
This aromatic botanical oil is crafted with a blend of plant extracts traditionally associated with relaxation and nervous system support. It is intended to be used as part of a personal self-care ritual, applied topically as a mindful, grounding practice.
Many people enjoy using it as part of a daily routine to invite a moment of stillness and presence into their day.
Tea Blends
Herbal teas have been an integral part of cultural traditions for centuries, enjoyed for their flavors, aromas, and the sense of comfort they evoke. As a Clinical Herbalist, I combine herbs in ways that honor their traditional uses and natural synergy.
Through the simple yet transformative process of infusion, each herb’s aroma and taste come together in a blend that offers a unique and enjoyable tea‑drinking experience.
Blended Salves
My small-batch salves are handcrafted using organic botanicals selected for their traditional use in herbal skin care. Each one is made with care and attention, blending time-honored plant wisdom with the knowledge I have built through clinical practice.
These salves are intended for external use as part of your everyday self-care routine.
Custom Blended Products
Custom blends are available exclusively through private consultations, providing thoughtful, individualized support rooted in traditional herbal practices. This ensures that each blend is crafted with intention and care, tailored to your unique preferences and goals.
