Welcome

We are always producing NEW Products for you to enjoy! I love formulating, and have created for my clients some brand new ones, while also improving some old ones. The herbs we use are all organically grown, most of them right here on our farm, or what I call "ethically wildcrafted" by ourselves, or sourced from reputable, quality herb suppliers. Please contact us for more info.

Sleep Easy Tea: with Valerian Root, Passion Flower, Hops and more, slightly sweetened with Stevia, this tea is a long awaited addition to our tea cupboard. Taking a tincture works when time and convenience is of the essence, but let us remember the benefits of sitting still with a cup of hot tea, and letting the day come to a slow and natural end.

Dream Tea: with Mugwort, Damiana, Lemon Balm, Skullcap and more, slightly sweetened with Stevia. This tea was specifically ordered by the Lillooet Wellness Centre, to help people have sweet dreams and more importantly, remember their dreams. Dream recall is used in many therapeutic situations as a tool to access the unconscious.

GLYCERITES, finally! As planned, and we hope to make more glycerites for those who cannot have alcohol for whatever reason. Here is what we have so far. Please contact us if you want to see others.

Happy Skin Glycerite: with fresh Chickweed and Burdock Root and other liver herb friends such as Dandelion and Yellow Dock Roots, all grown right here at the farm. All the benefits of our Happy Skin tincture blend, without the alcohol, used for chronic skin conditions who have a connection to a toxic, stagnant liver, such as with ecsema, psoriasis, acne, etc. This blend can be used as a liver tonic or gentle detoxifier as well.

New Tinctures

Featuring... Ashwaganda Root - Withania somnifera - When you read its description in a materia medica (herb book), this is one of those herbs that just about anyone could benefit from. It has been shown to improve memory, deepen sleep, and is perfect for anyone who is over-worked, stressed, all over exhausted mentally, emotionally as well as physically, and over-burdened in any way. It rejuvenates without stimulating. Ashwagandha has also been reported to help improve sex drive for both sexes, balance hormones and help with infertility. It’s a tonic and is safe for anyone: the elderly or for slowing premature signs of aging, and for children who are slow to develop. It is one of the few herbs that has been studied and found to improve hypothyroidism. In India where it originates, Ashwagandha is used in cancer protocols. It has also been found to be useful in treating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, while also being helpful with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

With the warm welcome help of apprentices, and WWOOFers (search: Vast Mountain), I continue to enjoy making herbal preparations for our customers, many of them loyal for over 15 years now. I am also proud to continue to insist on including our ingredients with every product's description, since I believe that sharing this information is more important to you and your health than keeping a "trade" secret is for me. I hope you enjoy visiting our site and seeing what we do. Please contact us should you have any questions, concerns or special requests...and if you are interested in apprenticing! On a more personal note, check out our dream home in the making, a straw bale, post and beam home on an abandoned field being converted into a permacultural oasis, at www.vastmountain.ca

Herbal blessings to you, gillian
