History, Mission & Philosophy

HISTORY

Tradition and consistency have created a strong foundation for Wise Woman Herbals ® whole-herb products. Our recipes and techniques have been handed down through an unbroken chain, from the founder to our staff. The company is owned and operated by a practitioner devoted to helping people discover better health, vitality, and improved quality of life through natural means. 

MISSION

Our mission at Wise Woman Herbals is to provide a gentle and natural way for improving people's quality of life by offering superior quality botanical supplements; resulting in a healthier, more balanced and sustainable world.

PHILOSOPHY

The name Wise Woman Herbals was chosen to honor the early European herbalists. We honor them further by producing over 325 whole herb supplements using time-tested traditional processes. We do not produce standardized extracts that strive to attain certain concentrations of a single chemical component at the expense of losing essential cofactors, because we believe all of the plant constituents are required to provide a completely beneficial herbal product as intended by nature.

We only use the finest organic, cultivated, biodynamic, ethically wildcrafted, and best quality plants and then preserve their integrity by adding only natural ingredients. Organic alcohol, certified kosher vegetable glycerin, organic cold-pressed olive oil, and/or mountain spring water are added to extract the desired plant properties through a time-intensive maceration process. This is a process similar to making fine wine.

Our comprehensive herbal product line is comprised of superior liquid extracts, solid extracts, glycerites, capsules, teas, salves, essential oils, syrups, elixirs, and suppositories. The exceptional strengths we achieve are the result of individual attention given to each extract in our chemically-free process. Each handmade batch receives our personal attention, resulting in the unsurpassed quality that we have become known for. We accomplish all of the aforementioned while adhering to strict quality control standards and compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices.

Healthcare practitioners continue to choose our products due to their renowned concentration, quality, and efficacy.

We welcome you and extend our gratitude for choosing Wise Woman Herbals.
