Returning to our roots, one plant at a time

At Wild Women Herbs, we believe every home deserves a well-stocked apothecary filled with remedies you can trust. That's why every product begins with carefully selected plants, many of which are grown on our Western Washington homestead or ethically wildcrafted from the forests, fields and mountains of the Pacific Northwest. What we can't grow or forage ourselves, we source from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality, sustainability and organic practices whenever possible.

Founded by herbalist and former registered nurse Megan Gurule, Wild Women Herbs blends traditional herbal wisdom with a practical, modern approach to wellness. Every remedy is thoughtfully formulated and handcrafted in small batches using time-honored techniques, so you can feel confident knowing exactly what goes into the products you bring into your home. Whether you're stocking your first home apothecary or adding to a lifelong collection, our goal is simple: to help you reconnect with the healing power of plants through remedies rooted in tradition, crafted with integrity and made to be used every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Wild Women Herbs different from other herbal companies?

We believe herbal medicine should be simple, transparent and rooted in tradition.

Here's what sets us apart from most other herbal wellness businesses:

  • Small-batch, handcrafted products made in our Pacific Northwest apothecary.

  • Thoughtfully sourced herbs that are grown in our gardens, ethically wildcrafted or purchased from trusted organic growers.

  • High-quality ingredients with no unnecessary fillers, artificial fragrances or harsh chemicals. Our products are always phthalate, paraben and toxin-free.

  • Formulated in-house using traditional Western herbalism and years of hands-on experience.

  • Education-first approach focused on helping you confidently build and use your own home apothecary.

When you choose Wild Women Herbs, you're supporting a family-owned small business dedicated to crafting effective herbal remedies, honoring traditional plant wisdom and caring for both people and the land. Every product is thoughtfully handcrafted with the same care, quality and attention to detail that we'd use for our own family.

Who formulates your herbal products, and what experience do you have?

Every Wild Women Herbs product is personally formulated by founder and herbalist Megan Gurule. Megan has been studying, growing and working with medicinal plants for over a decade and has owned an herbal wellness business since 2015. Before becoming a full-time herbalist, she worked for many years in healthcare as both an EMT and Registered Nurse, providing a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology and evidence-based care.

Our formulas are rooted in traditional Western herbalism, informed by modern research when appropriate and refined through years of hands-on experience. Every product is handcrafted in small batches in our Pacific Northwest apothecary using thoughtfully selected ingredients and time-honored methods.

How long do your products last?

The shelf life of our products varies depending on the ingredients and preparation method, but most products remain fresh for 12–24 months when stored properly (please note that syrups, tonics and oxymels will last up to 6 months in the fridge after opening).

To help maximize shelf life:

  • Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep lids and caps tightly closed after each use.
  • Avoid introducing water or dirty fingers into jars whenever possible.

Because we use natural ingredients and make our products in small batches, slight changes in color, scent or consistency over time are normal and do not necessarily indicate that a product has expired.

How do I know which remedy is right for me?

Choosing the right herbal remedy depends on your individual needs and wellness goals. Each product on our website includes a detailed description outlining its traditional uses, key herbs and suggested applications to help you make an informed choice.

If you're still unsure, we're always happy to help. Contact us with your questions, and we'll do our best to recommend products based on their traditional uses. Please note that we cannot diagnose, treat or provide individualized medical advice.

How long does it usually take for herbal remedies to work?

The answer depends on both the herb and the reason you're taking it. Some herbs, such as those used for seasonal discomfort or digestion, may be noticed relatively quickly (within 15-20 minutes) while others are traditionally used to support long-term wellness and may take several days or weeks of consistent use.

Herbal medicine works best when used regularly alongside a healthy lifestyle. Everyone responds differently, so results can vary from person to person.

Can I take more than one tincture or elixir at the same time?

In most cases, yes. Many herbs complement one another and are traditionally used together to support overall wellness. However, some herbs may not be appropriate to combine depending on your health history, medications or specific circumstances.

If you're taking prescription medications, have a medical condition or are unsure which products are right for you, we recommend speaking with a qualified healthcare provider before combining herbal products.

Are your herbal remedies safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Not all herbs are considered appropriate during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. In fact, most herbs have not been extensively studied for safety during pregnancy or lactation, so there simply isn't enough high-quality research to confidently determine whether many herbal products are safe during these stages of life.

While many herbs have a long history of traditional use, tradition is not the same as scientific evidence. For this reason, we recommend taking a cautious approach and consulting your healthcare provider, midwife or a qualified clinical herbalist before using any herbal products during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Some herbs that are generally avoided during pregnancy unless specifically recommended by a qualified practitioner include:

  • Black Cohosh
  • Blue Cohosh
  • Goldenseal
  • Mugwort
  • Pennyroyal
  • Thuja (Arborvitae)
  • Wormwood
  • Juniper
  • Cotton Root Bark
  • Angelica (Dong Quai)
  • Large amounts of Sage
  • Licorice Root (especially with high blood pressure)

There are also several herbs that are generally considered safe when used appropriately, although you should still discuss their use with your healthcare provider:

  • Ginger (for occasional nausea)
  • Chamomile (in moderation)
  • Lemon Balm
  • Nettle Leaf
  • Oatstraw
  • Red Raspberry Leaf (typically recommended after the first trimester)
  • Rose
  • Calendula (primarily topical use)

If a product contains herbs that are traditionally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we make every effort to note that in the product description. If you have any questions about a specific product, please don't hesitate to contact us before purchasing.

Can children use your herbal products?

Some herbal products may be appropriate for children, while others are intended for adults only. Recommended herbs, preparations and serving sizes vary depending on a child's age, weight and individual needs.

Please note that none of our elixirs or syrups are recommended for infants under 12 months of age because they contain raw honey. Raw honey can contain spores of Clostridium botulinum, which may cause infant botulism in babies under one year of age. For this reason, it is recommend that infants younger than 12 months should not consume honey in any form, including herbal syrups and elixirs.

For older children, many herbs can be used safely when they are age-appropriate and properly dosed. However, because children's bodies process herbs differently than adults, we recommend consulting your pediatric healthcare provider before introducing any new herbal product.

If you're shopping for a child, please contact us before purchasing. We're happy to help you determine which products are traditionally appropriate for your child's age and answer any questions you may have about ingredients or usage.

How quickly do you ship orders, and how long does delivery usually take?

We process and ship orders every Tuesday and Thursday. Most orders leave our apothecary within 3–5 business days, although processing times may be slightly longer during sales, holidays or other busy periods.

Once your order has shipped, you'll receive a confirmation email with tracking information. Delivery times vary depending on your location and the shipping method selected at checkout, but most U.S. orders arrive within 2–7 business days after shipment.

If you need your order by a specific date, please contact us before placing your order, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.

What are your return and customer satisfaction policies?

Because our products are handcrafted and many are considered personal care items, we are unable to accept returns on opened or used products. However, your satisfaction is very important to us.

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect or there's an issue with your purchase, please contact us within 7 days of delivery. We'll work with you to make it right by offering a replacement, store credit or another appropriate solution whenever possible.

If you have questions about a product before purchasing, we're always happy to help you choose the best option for your needs.

Can I stock your products in my store?

Absolutely! We love partnering with retailers who share our passion for high-quality, handcrafted herbal products. Wild Women Herbs is proud to work with boutiques, gift shops, farm stores, wellness centers, apothecaries and other like-minded businesses across the country.

Wholesale orders can be placed directly through our wholesale portal (which offers better discounts and faster processing times) or on Faire. We offer low minimum orders, competitive wholesale pricing and products that are handcrafted in small batches in the Pacific Northwest.
