Mama B's Apothecary Take body care back to the basics with Mama B's Apothecary. Nothing synthetic ever, period. So give our products a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I have always been interested in herbal remedies, then I became a Mom & started analyzing everything! It is ridiculous how many chemicals we end up putting on our bodies & ingesting just by buying what we think is good for us. I've tried to keep things simple & make items that we use in our home. The guarantee with our products is that I personally make each product I sell. Any base recipes I've found I've tried & changed to make to my liking. I'm not selling you any blends or products that some random company has made, each one has been created & tested by myself & my family. These are the products we use in our home's, from our 2 boys, to my 94 year old grandmother-inlaw. I back my products 100% & always welcome feedback, good, bad or otherwise. I'll be posting event dates as they come up! Thanks for your support!

I tend to highlight this herb every year around this time, but it is such a great, gentle plant to use I think everyone should know a bit about it.

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has traditionally been used to support the body during colds and mild upper-respiratory discomfort. Elderflower preparations are traditionally recognized for relieving early cold symptoms. Tinctures, syrups & teas are a few of the way to use this wonderful herb.

Elderflower has a long history of traditional use for mild upper-respiratory irritation and helping loosen respiratory discomfort. It is traditionally used as a diaphoretic (an herb that encourages gentle sweating) during feverish colds and chills.


Important preparation note: Use only properly identified, thoroughly cooked elderberries. Raw or unripe berries, leaves, stems, and bark may contain toxic compounds and can cause nausea, vomiting, or abdominal cramps. Elderberry supplements may also interact with medications, so consult a qualified healthcare professional—especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic illness, or prescription-drug use.

Allergies, boogers, stuffy noses, congestion.... it seems like summer is barely over and all the less-lovely parts of fall are already here. These products have become near daily staples in our house lately. The Bug Off oil I use every single time I'm outside for any length of time, and I always put it on our dog's ears, otherwise he comes in with tons of little bloody bug bites on the inside of his ears! 😓
Two of our kiddos have been taking turns bringing germs home from school, so the Cold Care roll-on has been rolled on chests, backs, and feet before bed. Allergies have also seemed to have ramped up, so I've been using that one here and there. And Pain Away? Well that helps with all those projects you're trying to wrap up before the ❄snow flies! 😆

The end of summer is a great time to start some tinctures to use throughout the winter months. 6-8 weeks is the magic wait time on tinctures; and if you look around, you'll realize, it's almost like God planned it that way 😉 Many of the plants growing and blooming this time of year can be beneficial to the immune system.
My echinacea plants are nearing their end and starting to dry up, I'm actually thinking next year I may be able to harvest some of the roots, I've been giving it a few years to get well established. Any part of the echinacea plant can be harvested and used for herbal remedies, the roots just have a bit more punch.
Goldenrod is also blooming right now, and is traditionally used for seasonal congestion and irritated mucous membranes, it may help soothe upper-respiratory discomfort.
Below are a few of the books I find myself referencing most often:
Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbals A Beginners Guide: https://link.amazon/B0j6eK1BC
Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health: https://link.amazon/B0e7XmcqV
The Modern Herbal Dispensatory: A Medicine-Making Guide: https://link.amazon/B0alfCsOt
The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook: https://link.amazon/B0cX6XoPq

As always, make sure you have correctly IDed the plant you're wanting to harvest, harvest responsibly (never more than 1/3 of a patch) & make sure you're collecting from a clean area, away from roadways and anywhere that may have been sprayed.
Any questions let me know!!
Happy Tincturing!!

It feels so good!!!
Mama B's is back in a shop near you! Er, well, technically "conveniently North of Nowhere" as they say at Our Place on the Ridge!!

They are all stocked up! If there's something you're looking for when you stop in that you don't see, let them know & we'll get it out there!

They have some great other local vendors as well! Love finding local shops that support local, we're all in this together!

Thanks for having us Our Place on the Ridge!

Kids are back to school which means it's canning season! We ran thru all the salsa I made last year, so I'll be making an extra large batch this year..... which probably also means we won't eat near as much this winter, lol, why is that?? Better to have too much on the shelf than not enough though.

Any who, I'm not a huge fan of everyone sharing their favorite amazon finds, BUT when you find some that truly change the way you do things, I feel it is a duty to share it.

Two years ago I purchased one of these choppers, and it has been a serious game changer when chopping things in bulk. When you're running 16 lbs of ingredients that need chopped, anything that speeds up that process is a must-have. Just watch your fingers.... those blades are SHARP!!

What's in your canner this season?? I'd love to know!

I mixed up this blend the end of last year per a customers request & I am SO thankful she asked!!! I ❤️ LOVE ❤️ this oil and use it daily, morning and night. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth. It pairs great with our Facial Cleansing Oil & Love Your Face Cream & you can use this head to toe as well.

We love keeping these around the house. Each of our boys has a Sweet Dreams AromaSpray in their room, it's a great way to chill at the end of the day.
Lavender, chamomile, spearmint and other essential oils come together to relax the senses and welcome sleep.
Thieving Mint has the classic thieves blend that is known for antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. It's great to spray around the house, on bedding, school bags, etc when sicknesses are running rampant.

Good morning everyone!
Summer seems to be rapidly fleeting, our kids start school next week! I don't know where time thinks it needs to go in such a hurry, but it definitely doesn't seem to be slowing down.
With kids heading back to school, you know what's coming next! 🤧 Those lovely first few weeks of everyone sharing their favorite germs 😶‍🌫️ Be prepared with our Cold Care Roll-on!
You can apply this to the bottom of your feet, chest, neck, back. Some of my kids like to smell it more than others, and if they fall asleep before putting some on, the feet are an easy place to swipe it on.
Made with only essential oils & coconut oil for the carrier oil, there is never anything synthetic in our products!

Survey Time! What are your favorite Mama B's products??

Since our kids are getting older, I'm working on getting Mama B's out in the world again. When the kids were little my herbal biz definitely got put on the back burner, but I'd really like to start hitting up markets and having our products available in different shops again. So to help me out I would love to hear what products you would want to see more readily available. Feel free to list as many as you like! Most of the products I make we use on the regular, so I still make them, it's just been on a much smaller scale.
Thanks for you continued support!! 🌿
