Welcome to my online apothecary. I’m Cynthia—menopause guide, plant-based product maker, and longtime student of the healing power of plants—nestled in the magical Smoky Mountains. My journey with herbal medicine began as a teenager, when I struggled with severe asthma and found real relief through plant allies. That early experience sparked a lifelong relationship with herbs that eventually grew into a calling. In my 30s, I turned that calling into a business, crafting wild yam products as gentle alternatives to HRT and creating plant-based skincare specifically for "women of a certain age" who deserve products made with wisdom, respect, and intention. Today, I support women through the menopause transition with thoughtfully formulated plant-based products and lifestyle guidance designed to empower, not “fix.” Menopause is not a disease. YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. This is a powerful and potent transition—and you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to help you embrace this chapter with confidence, knowledge and grace. The best is yet to come.

Let customers speak for us
from 22 reviewsI have sensitive skin and this serum os very nourishing and comforting. I've been using g it for years! So grateful for organics!
Love you he taste and it’s full of nourishment!
I’ve been using Radiant Rose night cream for years and many years and love how luxurious and soft it leaves my skin. And the scent is beautiful. I highly recommend this !
Subtle harmony for the largest organ of our body! Prepare for a healthy, surprising difference in your skin! This transforms my skin in the dry, cold environment.
We love this soap. Delightful old fashioned clean soap scent. Mild cleansing for my dry and sensitive skin. Each bar lasts a long time!
I really like this new product. I spray it into my hand and apply it to my legs and arms after a shower. It absorbs easily. The smell is subtle I like it.
I live in the Sierra Nevada where it is very dry.
I received this lovely oil with my last order and i LOVE it. The scent is heavenly! And it's curious to me because i use it in the morning to wake up and feel refreshed. And i use it at night to soothe and prepare for sleep. I work with essential oils all the time and have never had a blend be able to serve both morning and evening. This one does! My skin absorbs it easily and feels soft and nourished after each use. I'd give it more than 5 stars if i could! Love it!
I love this toner! After Cynthia recommended it to me, I have been using it daily and have rebought a couple times! It smells fantastic and leaves my skin feeling nice and refreshed!
I use it every day to protect my skin from sun exposure

I've been a steady customer since first finding these products at the Southeastern Women's Herbal Conference back in 2016 and this is my favorite product. It's moisturizing, not oily, and it's half the cost of similar facial serums sold in natural food stores or online.
This is the perfect cream for DRY and cold Colorado. I use it everywhere… especially good on hands.
Have used this product for years and just love it. The scent alone is worth it !
I love this face cream. Lots of natural botanicals. It has a light, non- greasy texture and it has a divine scent that is subtle but, definately noticable.
I had 2 men comment on how nice the scent wad on me. One I knew and the other was helping me in a store.
I fell in love with the bliss kit. I want to order lots of it and roll around in it. It is so good! Already I can tell a difference in my skin quality on my face.
I have never been one to use toner, but I find myself reaching for it and using it morning and night. The serum comes in a little roll-on bottle, which is very convenient as it controls the amount applied. It absorbs nicely, as does the bliss cream. They all have a beautiful aroma. I highly recommend.
I’ve been using this face serum for years! The scent is light, fresh, and really pleasant without being overpowering like perfume. The ball applicator glides smoothly over the skin, making application mess-free. The serum absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed.
