About Us

Beautiful Cobb Mountain, Northern CaliforniaHilary DuBois, the formulater for Herb Wise Therapeutic Botanicals, is an Herbalist living in Northern California on beautiful Cobb Mountain. Hilary has had the opportunity to have studied herbalism with some of the most recognized and knowledgeable herbalists in their fields; Diana De Luca, Karen Aguiar, Kami McBride and many other gifted teachers. For more than fifteen years, she has continually researched and studied the healing properties of plants and their most effective uses in herbal remedies.  Hilary has studied Herbal Medicine Making, Aromatherapy, Flower Essence Therapy, Herbal Therapeutics, Homeopathy, Plant Spirit and Vibrational Medicine with a focus on Energetics.  Additional courses regarding various Agriculture and Horticulture practices including Organic and Sustainable Farming have been invaluable.  Hilary has also learned from the plants themselves; how they can heal on an energetic level in order to assist the human body and spirit to live well.

The acquisition of this knowledge inspired Herb Wise Therapeutic Botanicals, a collection of therapeutic, herbal, topical products that are effective medicinally and truly nurture the relationship between the plant world and the human spirit.

Currently, biodynamic growing practices are being researched and introduced as is possible to promote a full circle of healing by assisting the plants in an environment that is truly vibrant and connected with all beings; plant, animal, mineral and cosmic. In the garden is where the alchemy of Herb Wise begins to take form to produce the finest medicine for your body, mind and spirit. 

All ingredients are authentically grown and processed. This includes Organic, Biodynamic, Demeter and other classifications. The Skin Refreshers do not contain alcohol. Extracts are made with Biodynamic grape alcohol and are added in small amounts to amplify the synergy of ingredients in some of the Salves and Therapuetic Oils. Achey Breaky, Carpal Cuddle and SciacticAhhhh! are some examples. Herb Wise is increasing its agricultural production and now grows many of the herbs and plants used in the products. Herb Wise chooses to use glass containers and Gift Boxes that are made from 100% recycled material.

All formulas include medicinal herbs, pure base oils and essential oils as well as Vibrational Essences from plants, the earth and the cosmos. Vibrational Essences are the imprint or "personality" of a substance accessed in an energetic way. These Vibrational Essences can be an integral part for promoting healing on many levels. For more information on these or other ingredients please contact Hilary DuBois.
