(updated 01/31/21)
I primarily work with plants that I have a deep relationship with. I currently have 102 different plant medicines, 40% are grown in my own garden. I make all of my medicines.
The following is a list of my current apothecary (as of 01/31/2021): Mostly tinctures, made with 97% non-organic grain alcohol (at various dilutions specific to plant material). Some vinegar and glycerin based tinctures are available for those with sensitivity to, or wanting to avoid consuming alcohol.
I typically provide specific formulations for clients and other herbalists. I am not a high production wholesale tincture distributer.
Tinctures and Vinegars are $8-12 dollars an ounce, sliding scale.
Oils and Salves are $20-30 for 4oz containers, sliding scale. Typically the base oil is Olive.
key for list: <w> : wild taken. <oak> :grown in my Oakland garden.
Medicines without a <w> or <oak> are bought commercially.
a more detailed spread sheet, with quantities, sourcing, production dates and notes is available by request.
