Alchemilla Herbals is a small business currently in Ravenshoe, Far North QLD, Australia. Though we are soon to be based in Northern NSW! Our mission is to empower our community to take their health into their own hands and feel confident about growing, harvesting/foraging and manufacturing their own medicinal preparations.

All medicines on this website have been lovingly handcrafted in small batches. Each product on this website has a story and a living force for you to connect to. All of the plants used are organically grown or wild harvested. We work with what is in season so certain products are only available at certain times in the year.

Have a look at our facebook and instagram pages to see stories of the wild harvest and stories of working with these powerful plants. Check out our store to see what is available to purchase. If you cannot afford any of these items please get in touch and we can work out an exchange. If you would like any recipes/instructions on how to make any of these products then please get in touch. This is all open source- no secrets- no industry competitiveness. It is our belief that with knowledge comes responsibility. Any of our products you can make yourself. Sign up to our newsletter here and check out our patreon here.

Alchemilla was created from a dream of bridging the gap and allowing re-connection. Tuning into plants as our allies we have the opportunity to live in a symbiotic relationship with nature, because we are nature too. What we want is to assist in creating/maintining is a life that is full of deep and sacred connection to all life.
