How it came to be

Wild Remedy began as a very personal journey - an exploration into how local medicinal plants could help me heal my skin. For nearly a decade, I struggled to understand and manage a chronic inflammatory condition that flared on my face, neck, and chest, often accompanied by debilitating migraines. After years of searching for answers, I began weaving together my background in physiology, psychoneuroimmunology, holistic nutrition, and herbal medicine to put the pieces together and address the root causes of my illness.

Along the way, I found myself reconnecting with the land and the medicine it offers. It began with walks in the forest, foraging, infusing those herbs into oils, and blending them with nurturing tallow. The results were immediate and profound. I finally had a skincare remedy that I could rely on to lessen the intensity and duration of flares, reduce the redness and irritation, and ease the hot, dry flakiness. I had found a true ally. Like a good friend, it helped move me through tough times with more ease, so I could focus my energy on deeper healing.

Having spent much of my life learning about, practicing and teaching various healing modalities, it felt natural to share what I had discovered. In essence, Wild Remedy offerings grew out of the desire to support others navigating chronic inflammatory conditions, thereby transforming my own pain into purpose and passion.
