Garliq’s Apothecary Sale
aka. The Intended-to-be-Bi-Annual (but has really been more “occasional”)
Herbal Remedy Sale
to Nourish and Heal the Community.
If you’re reading this, you likely already know that I love plants.
And I particularly enjoy sharing their medicines with folks who need them.
I also love supporting healthy communities.
Which means that I love making herbal medicines for my communities.

-
I ONLY feel really good - I mean, completed satisfied in my heart of hearts - when I feel a connection with the people using my herbs.
My interest is in helping create healthy communities (not retail).
So if you're reading this, then you and I are connected. Either you get my emails, follow my work on FB or someone close to you does.
This sale started out as a one-time event, but has grown into more than that (ideally, a bi-annual event).
It’s an exchange of sacred service (from me to you) and of financial support (from you to me).
My herbal remedies are well loved, local, hand-crafted, and (mostly) organic.
This is how I celebrate my role as community medicine maker … while you get herbal remedies that are far better than what you could get at the health food store (because they’ve

Even before bill C36 (and the other recent draconian measures), Health Canada had rules preventing general retail of herbal remedies without a NHP number (Natural Health Product #).
NHP numbers are prohibitively expensive and would be ridiculous for small medicine makers who make a jar of tincture per batch (because each batch needs to be tested and given NHP).
SO… I only do this sale to support my community and I only do it from time to time. (notice you’re not using the website’s shopping cart for your order).
Side Note - Herbalists ARE permitted to sell tinctures to their clients (without NHP’s), so clients are able to purchase remedies throughout the year

There's a power that you can feel when taking wild plants (or well loved from a garden).
They have a tenacity, a resilience and a wisdom. And you can feel it when you take the remedy.
The herb conveys so much more than just a taste or just a set of chemicals.
It communicates a teaching. It offers a reminder from the untamed aliveness of the world and your body remembers how to be in balance.
Ultimately, you can come to understand that…
herbs are a green expression of Love from Mother Earth that’s here to support you.
-
All my remedies have either been grown or gathered by loving hands (only 2-3 exceptions), my own or my apprentices.
Both cultivated and wild plants have been harvested with great care, high ethical standard, and in Right Relationship with Spirit of each medicine plant.
You won't find medicines like these in any health food store or herb shop.
Remedy Descriptions are listed first.
Order form is at the bottom of the page.
Note: for pick up order in Victoria, please let me know if the form is still charging you shipping. I think I’ve fixed it, but I’ll try again or figure something else out.
