As a black man, I've always found the staff at Farmacy Herbs very helpful and very welcoming. That hasn't always been the case with businesses I've been to, so I've become quite aware of it personally. I think I started going there 16 years ago? I had some stomach issues and Mary Blue was able to provide some excellent suggestions on what herbs to take. They totally remedied my upset stomach- marshmallow root tea I think it was. Since then I've gone back for tea, honey, and definitely immune building herbs since the pandemic. They really know their stuff and every time

This business is racist. I am an Indigenous person who's tried to give this place a shot a few times now, but there people who work here are always rude to me. They don't greet visibly non-white customers, but they're sure to watch us like hawks. The irony of harvesting medicines on stolen lands and then making Indigenous people feel unwelcome (!!!)

I visited Farmacy on the recommendation of my therapist to find a more natural remedy for anxiety. The shop itself is in a residential area near the hospital in Pawtucket. I walked in and the girl working the register was more than helpful directing me to the products for anxiety and immune support. The store is small but has a number of dried tea leaves and other elixirs. I purchased the immune support and less stress and can notice a different with my anxiety levels. They also sell honey and elderberry syrup. A great spot for natural finds and remedies.

My wife went there, paid for a consultation which was expensive and got some herbs for women's health issues, whatever. We buy this regimen and of course there is a disclaimer about not for healing but for support, yet there is a master herbalist. Long story short is she isn't feeling well so instead we go to a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor after, which we should have done first, and he says her Qi is all messed up and her energies are all imbalanced. We gave him the herbs and he was not happy. He told us not to use them anymore and gave her a more balanced prescription. Thankfully

I love that they have all the herbs I could possibly want however I find the hours to be kind of inconvenient since I work,I tried to call to see if they could get my herbs set aside because I couldn't make it until like 5 or 10 after 5 and theybwere closed the next day. I was told unless I can get there right at 5 then I am just out of luck even though I have heard associates tell people that if you're running a little late you can just call. After that I have been extremely hesitant to go and buy any herbs from them when I can buy them online more conveniently and can avoid having to deal with

Oh my god. This place is amazing. They have a huge inventory in a small and cozy storefront. There were tinctures and herbs I've had difficulty finding. The prices are very fair, most herbs in the $2-5/oz range depending on the specific plant. The staff are super friendly and helpful, whether it's finding a specific item or asking questions about how to use different herbs. The store itself is adorable. It's a tiny little shop with a huge overhanging patio out front. The inside looks and feels like a herbalists shop from centuries ago.

Absolutely adorable little shop filled to the brim with medicinal grade herbs and oils. There were lots of blends and they were helpful in giving me info on migraines and headaches !!
They also had cute little lunar calendars and smudge sticks and honey! Just a little bit of everything.
If by any chance they read this, would love two things. One, crystals would be amazing !!
And two, the reference books you have are awesome but some nice second hand books for sale too would be awesome!
Thanks so much!
Update since my post: one of my purchases was a small peppermint essential oil. $10 wasn

As I am venturing into the world of non western medicine, I stumbled upon Farmacy Herbs.
This is one of the best places to start if you're trying to get into non 'conventional' medicine, or just want a tasty herb assortment for your tea.
The staff is very knowledgeable, and do try to help you as much as they can without giving medical advice. The storefront is warm and comforting, as a small fire was run in the stove as I visited.
Farmacy Herbs is also full of books and readings if you're looking for knowledge.
The herbs are affordable. If you're looking for large

I love Farmacy Herbs! Everything I've purchased from them -- be it their amazing Sweet Dreams tea (a blend of chamomile and other slumber-inducing herbs) or their luscious honey or honey-based products, every item I've come to acquire has been wonderful.
They usually have a stand set up at the Hope Street Farmers Market, which is a lovely way to introduce yourself to their products. My very first purchase was their amazing honey- and beeswax-based lip balm. This stuff is a minor miracle, let me tell you -- I have exceedingly dry skin and this stuff is quenching, gentle and has a mild
