I was in search of an Herb store and
Was brought to this one by a friend. I was treated so well! Everyone was knowledgeable and actually LISTENED. I feel like I left the store better than I arrived and I feel that I acquired the most beneficial herbs and tinctures. I am happy to drive the 30 minutes to support their shop, classes and practitioners. Today I discovered that they are present at the Farmers Market in Old Scottsdale
Thank you to all the caring authentic people at SWHerb!!!!!

GREAT Herb shop, well supplied with knowledgeable staff and volunteers. Best inventory of dried herbs in one place in the valley. Make your own or, they have an abundant supply of tinctures, specific herbal mixtures for teas, creams, salves and some cute gifts for your home diy herbalist or cosmetic product maker. They also have classes on how to make your own creams, tinctures, etc. I go here sometimes just to be in the peace of this place.

In July I was in a life changing accident as I rolled 4 times across the 10 when someone on their phone came into my lane. I was in the hospital for a couple months while they were putting me back together and ever since getting out my days are filled with appointments, checkups, follow ups, PT, etc. A friend recommended this place to me knowing I wanted to try anything I could to heal and improve and I preferred natural methods to pharmaceuticals. I walked in and was immediately taken aback by how clean it was and the amount of things to look at. I was instantly offered a cup of tea upon entering

What a fabulous find! Large selections of herbs and teas! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. They help personalize your selection based on your needs. I was looking for teas to help my medical recovery after surgery. I feel better already just knowing they are there. Thank you ladies.
