Appalachia School of Holistic Herbalism maintains an apothecary of over 250 bulk dried herbs and extracts. Our apothecary is open to the public and everyone is welcome to stop by and visit during business hours. Whether you are studying natural medicine, a healing arts professional, or just wanting to start your own herbal medicine chest, our friendly and helpful staff are available to help you find what you need. Buy herbs in bulk, ready-made high quality tinctures and formulas, or custom blend your own teas and extracts.

Apothecary Hours

Office: Tuesday-Friday 11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. (Phone calls and emails answered)

Additional Apothecary Hours: Monday 11:00 a.m- 6:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

We usually only have one staff person in the office at a time, so if you don’t see anyone upstairs we may be helping someone in the downstairs apothecary. Please call Tuesday through Friday to be sure we are available- especially if you are coming from out of town.

We do not check e-mail or phone messages Saturday, Sunday or Monday. Thank you for your patience!

ORGANIC HERBAL EXTRACTS

The large majority of our herbal extracts are made by our experienced faculty, or students under strict faculty supervision. We use organic menstruums and organic plant material locally and sustainably gathered as much as possible. Other non-locally sourced herbs used for extracts  have been carefully chosen from outstanding reputable companies and individual farms with a commitment to sustainability.

Catnip

Alcohol Extracts

Herbs extracted in alcohol distilled from organically grown grapes, organic cane sugar, or organic grains. Over 80% of our extracts are made using organically grown or wildcrafted herbs locally sourced within 20 miles of ASHH. Many of our herbs come from Soulflower Botanical Sanctuary. Water used in alcohol extracts is sourced either from pristine Appalachian springs including one at Soulflower Botanical Sanctuary or Artesian well water from Soulflower.

The best way to take alcohol extracts is in 2 to 4 ounces of water. Room temperature water is best for absorption. However, if you have a sensitive physical system, feel free to dilute herbal alcohol extracts in tea or juice.

Sold by the ounce $11/ounce (includes the bottle). Shelf life is approximately 5 years. Store in a dark, cool area.

$10/ounce if you’d like to bring your own clean empty bottle.
