Selvedge Apothecary

Every year I spend much of the green season cultivating medicinal herbs in my garden, foraging for plants and mushrooms in the wild, and making remedies with them for my community. I have been studying herbal medicine independently since 2017, including regularly taking workshops and courses through an array of herb schools and professional herbalists. I strive to share my knowledge and preparations as a mutual aid offering whenever possible.

All of the herbs I share I either forage respectfully from my local area or grow in my garden.

Below you will find a list of preparations that are available, instructions on how to order, and an explanation of the sliding-scale payment system. If you are uncertain which of these herbs, if any, may be helpful for you, send me an email and we can discuss it further. Please also read the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

Thank you + be well!

Pay-what-you-can

Herbal medicine belongs to all people and should be accessible to all. With this in mind, I’m using a sliding-scale/pay-what-you-can payment structure to help expand access to plant medicine to more folks, and to invite those with more resources to support those with less.

All of my preparations are available for free for BIPOC, those who are unhoused, those who are on the frontlines of protecting the earth from extractive industry, and/or active community organizers.

Please realistically consider your resources and situation when choosing a sliding scale level. The low end of the scale is enough to cover materials and shipping. The high end of the scale is in the neighborhood of where most other herbalists price their products for retail sale.

1 oz bottle: $9 - $20

2 oz bottle: $12 - $28

4 oz bottle (Milky Oats, and Reishi only): $14 - $28

mutual aid offering, any size: $0

*a 1oz bottle of the winter’s light elixir*

My Venmo is @emmapercy (8173) and my PayPal is epercy95@gmail.com, if you wish to use either of these. When using either online service, please do *NOT* click the button indicating that you are paying for a product. Doing so will cause me to be charged a fee and will also flag my account as a "business" which will limit my ability to use these apps in the future. Thank you for your understanding & cooperation!

Disclaimer: Your health is your own responsibility. Please consult your medical professional before using any herbal product if you have a known medical condition or if you are pregnant or nursing. I also encourage you to do your own research to determine which herbs might be best for your concerns, and to ensure they are not contraindicated with any medications you already take - this is not a common concern, but it is possible. All of the products on this page are made in my home kitchen using simple folk methods. Any descriptions of an herb’s properties and potential benefits come from my own independent study and personal experience. Neither the products nor their accompanying descriptions are approved by any certifying body. All that said, I take the utmost care in producing herbal preparations that are safe and high quality, and I don’t share anything with others that I haven’t tested myself!
