With the holiday season approaching, you might be wondering what kinds of gifts an herbalist would like. Whether you’re unfamiliar with the field or have been practicing for years, we’ve compiled a helpful list of items you can use as a guide for finding the perfect gift for the lucky herbalist in your life.

In today’s blog post, we share our top recommendations for:

  • Medicine making essentials to help you get started with a home apothecary
  • Wildcrafting tools that make harvesting and cultivation work a breeze
  • Processing tools to help you produce potent herbal medicine
  • Some of our favorite resources for ordering quality bulk herbs and seeds
  • A series of must-read books for the herbal enthusiast

Table of Contents

With the holidays around the corner, many herbalists are dropping subtle, or not so subtle, hints about what they’d love to receive as gifts.

If you’re unfamiliar with herbalism, you might be wondering where to start and what tools an herbalist needs most for setting up a home apothecary. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself this season or surprise someone special in your life, we’ve got you covered with this ultimate gift guide.

From wildcrafting gear to medicine-making equipment and must-read books, we’ve compiled a list of the items we use personally and love most. You can use it to decide what items are worth buying and will make for the perfect gift.

Medicine-Making Equipment

There’s something particularly exciting about applying what you’ve learned in herbalism to make your own herbal medicine. Whether you stock up on humble basics or invest in complex equipment, the items below will get you started with your home apothecary.

  1. Notebooks: The first step in making medicine is having notebooks to record your process. Use these to include important information, such as the formula and percentages you’re using, the date, astrological placements, and any other details you want to remember.
  2. Jars: If this sounds too humble a gift to give an herbalist, try presenting them with a box of mason jars and watch their eyes light up. Mason jars are one of the most essential tools an herbalist can have. I suggest buying an assortment of different sizes. A quart jar is good for small projects, half-gallon for larger quantities, and a gallon jar for ambitious ordeals. These jars are perfect for preparing a myriad of herbal medicines, such as honeys, syrups, oils, tinctures, infusions, and more. Plus, you can store dried herbs in there to keep them fresh as well.

  3. Amber Bottles: The best way to keep your herbal solutions fresh is by storing them in glass amber bottles, which protect their contents from sun exposure and oxidation. Stock up on different size bottles and droppers, such as one-ounce and two-ounce bottles, as well as salve jars. Specialty bottles offer a large variety of options to choose from. 
  4. Bottlebrush: These are useful for cleaning out bottles with small, narrow necks.
  5. Labels: The last thing you want is to make a tincture, store it, and find it weeks later with zero recollection of what it is. Prevent this by labeling everything you make. If you’re feeling fancy, use a label maker for a more polished look. Onlinelabels.com has some cool kraft paper labels that have a bit more of an Earthy look than a blah white label. 
  6. Menstruums: A menstruum is a carrier that you use to produce herbal medicine. Although certainly not exhaustive, some common menstruums to stock up on include:
    • Alcohol: Use a good quality 95% alcohol made from organic cane or grain alcohol. Using a high percentage of alcohol is advantageous as it allows you to dilute it as needed when preparing different herbal formulas that require different alcohol strengths. For easy purchase, you can open an account with the Organic Alcohol Company out of Ashland, Oregon, which produces excellent organic alcohol. 
    • Olive Oil: Wonderful as a carrier oil in salves and medicinal oils, cold-pressed olive oil makes a versatile menstruum for many products. Sunflower, coconut, and castor oil are other options to explore, each containing a different viscosity and feel.
    • Beeswax: Used when producing luxurious salves, creams, and lotions, beeswax is wonderful to have on hand (no pun intended). 
    • Carnauba wax: A wax produced from the leaves of the carnauba palm, this makes a great vegan alternative for those who don’t use beeswax. Be sure to use sustainably sourced when looking for this.
    • Apple cider vinegar: A large container of apple cider vinegar “with the mother” can be used to prepare delicious vinegar extracts.
    • Honey: Using good-quality and unpasteurized raw honey, you can prepare herbal-infused syrups and honeys, which can be used alone or in combination with your vinegar extract to produce tangy oxymels.
    • Glycerin: A fantastic alternative to alcohol, glycerine can be used to produce glycerite tinctures that yield a sweet flavor, making them compatible for children and for those who do not consume alcohol.
  7. Glass Cylinders or Beakers: Although you can technically use kitchen measuring cups, these tools offer precise measurements when measuring menstruums.
    The Ultimate Gift Guide for Herbalists
  8. Funnels: These are handy for pouring your freshly pressed tinctures into bottles and preventing spillage. 
  9. Tincture press: If you’re serious about regularly making tinctures at home, you’ll want to ensure you squeeze out every drop. With a good quality tincture press, you can do just that. Available for purchase from Strictly Medicinals and Press Herbs (formerly known as the Longevity Herb Company), they are available in different sizes ranging from small to large. 
  10. Distiller: If you’re looking to advance your practice of medicine-making, a small distiller can be a great tool. You can use this to distill alcohol, water, oil, and in conjunction with your spagyric work. Often on the pricier side, close to $300, it’s an investment towards your home apothecary. Gary Stadler at Heart Magic sells good ones for affordable prices.
  11. Banne de Marie: This traditional double boiler by Mauviel is fantastic for making herbal oils at home.
  12. A Beginner’s Medicine Making Kit: If this list has you feeling overwhelmed, this kit is for you. This includes most of the materials you need to prepare some basic remedies at home. Consider it a great starting point for your herbal journey ahead. 

While I know some of these items don’t exactly seem like the most exciting gifts in the world (“Oh a new funnel?!?….. thaaaaaaanks”), you can make it a bit more exciting by presenting them in a festive medicine-maker’s basket. 

Wildcrafting Tools:

Whether you’re harvesting your herbs or purchasing fresh ones in bulk, you’ll need equipment to process them until they’re ready to be used. The following are indispensable tools to have in your belt.

  1. Clippers: Any sturdy pair of clippers will do, but ergonomically designed ones are ideal as they can help prevent blisters from forming. We like to use Felco’s. 
  2. Loppers: Used for pruning twigs and small branches, these can be used when working with trees or shrubs. 
  3. Baskets: Harvest bagsGarden tool belt and apple-picking bagsStrap these over your shoulders and you’ve got a big bag in front of you, which makes wildcrafting a breeze.
  4. Hori Hori knife: A Japanese gardening knife made out of solid steel, Hori Hori knives are used to remove weeds and roots from the ground. 
  5. Harvesting knife: Available in small or medium sizes, these sharp knives help you to efficiently harvest plants, peel barks, and… well a good knife is just a must-have! I personally really like anything from Cold Steel.
  6. Cobrahead Weeder/Cultivator: Designed to fit comfortably in your hand, this tool breaks tough soil and pulls out reluctant weeds. 
  7. Digging Rod: Okay this is where a lot of people usually use shovels, but when it comes to digging roots, the problem with a shovel is that they often aren’t that great at breaking up really dense soil, and oftentimes end up cutting your roots. A good digging rod will loosen up the soil and prevent you from damaging those precious root medicines.

Processing tools:

Once you finish cultivating, you’ll need to process your plants further before using in herbal preparations. With the tools below, you’ll have every step covered. 

  1. Mortar and pestle:  A traditional tool nearly synonymous with the image of a home apothecary, this is useful for manually grinding dry herbs to a powder. 
  2. Cuisinart or food processor: These are helpful for breaking down light plant parts, such as leaves and flowers, into smaller pieces. 
  3. Hammermill: Pricier than the standard food processor, the hammermill breaks down denser and tougher plant matter. If this is too expensive, a flour mill is often more affordable.
  4. Vitamix: By adding your menstruum and herbs into this high-power blender, you can drastically reduce its size and increase the plant’s surface area, yielding potent tinctures.
  5. Coffee grinder:  This is excellent for mechanically grinding small amounts of dried berries, roots, and other tough plant parts into a fine powder.
  6. Dehydrator: With this tool, you can efficiently dry large amounts of herbs so they don’t mold. 
  7. Stainless steel bowls: Easy to clean and disinfect, these bowls are a simple tool that can enhance your medicine-making process. 
  8. Cheesecloth, cotton pillowcases, or nut-milk bags: Use these to strain and squeeze every last drop out of your oils, cold infusions, and tinctures. These are especially helpful when straining mucilaginous herbs, such as marshmallow root. 
  9. Strainers: These are a must-have for straining oils, tinctures, and infusions that are too hot to touch using a cheesecloth.
  10. Kitchen scale: Although you can use kitchen measuring tools to ascertain the volume of an herb, the only accurate way to measure its weight is with a scale. This is an indispensable tool to use when tincture making if you’re following a precise formula you’d want to recreate in the future. For larger amounts, sometimes a shipping scale is better so you have more surface area to place your herbs on.

Herbs and Seeds:

The most obvious gift of them all: Plants! 

Presenting a gift certificate to a local herbal apothecary is a wonderful way to support an herbalist, and allows them to choose the herbs they’re most excited to use. 

 For bulk herbs, a few companies I trust and recommend are: 

Pacific Botanicals

Oshala Farm

Mountain Rose Herbs

Harmonic Arts

And specifically for seeds, I’d recommend: 

Strictly Medicinals

Ravensong Seeds & Herbals

Salt Spring Seeds 

For those particularly interested in mycology, an at-home mushroom starter kit  is a fun way to develop a deeper relationship with the fungi-world.

    5. Medical Herbalism by David Hoffman: This one’s a little more pricey, but definitely worth it for the serious herbalist, especially those that want to understand a bit more of the science of herbal medicine and therapeutics. This one is of textbook status and for the serious student. 
    6. The Earthwise Herbal Volume 1 and 2 by Matthew Wood: This two part set is composed of distinctive monographs. The first volume is of Olde World plants and one of New World plants. I think these are some of the best monographs available and they come from a very experienced clinician. 
    7. Weeds in the Heart written by Nathaniel Hughes and illustrated by Fiona Owen: This is just a beautiful book of gorgeous drawings of herbs. Although it’s not an educational one, it’s one that many herbalists will appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What herb is best for healing?

Herbs are a fantastic way to help heal our bodies. Herbal medicine has been used since ancient times and continues to grow today. There are thousands of herbs known to cure various ailments.

Some herbs are excellent for treating colds and flu, while others can treat anxiety, depression, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and more.

There are also herbal remedies for skin care, hair loss, weight loss, sexual health, energy, sleep, digestion, and much more.

The list goes on and on. But one herb stands above them all regarding its ability to heal. That herb is called aloe vera.

Aloe Vera is considered to be the world's most powerful healer. For centuries it has helped people heal themselves naturally without any side effects.

It's incredible how well aloe vera works. It's even better than prescription drugs and surgery.

In addition to its natural healing properties, aloe vera is highly versatile and can be used in almost any area of life, including food, beauty products, and household cleaning supplies.

You may not realize this, but aloe vera contains hundreds of active compounds, which include vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, sulfur, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, fluoride, iodine, selenium and more.

These nutrients are essential for human body functions such as cell growth, metabolism, immune system support, healthy bones and teeth, healthy blood pressure levels, healthy eyesight, healthy cardiovascular systems, healthy digestive systems, healthy lungs, healthy nervous system, healthy reproductive organs, healthy skin, and healthy libido.


Is it okay to use dried herbs instead of fresh ones?

It is best to pick up fresh herbs whenever possible when using herbs.

Although dried herbs are convenient, they don’t provide the same benefits as fresh herbs.

Fresh herbs contain essential oils that give your food a unique flavor. These oils help preserve the nutrients within the herb.

Dried herbs lose all their flavor after drying, so they cannot replace fresh herbs.

You should only use dried herbs if you absolutely must. Otherwise, you should get your fresh herbs from the market.


Which plant has antibiotic and wound-healing properties?

People often ask about plants that have medicinal uses. Some of these include aloe vera, eucalyptus, chamomile, and lavender. If you're wondering why there aren't any plants used for cleaning and disinfecting purposes, it's because most plants have toxic qualities.

The reason why we use herbs for medicine is that they contain compounds that stimulate our immune system. This means that they help us fight infections and heal wounds.

Some plants also have anti-inflammatory properties. These include ginger, turmeric, and mint.

Herbs such as basil, fennel, marigold, and oregano are great for cleansing the body.

There are even some plants that help prevent cancer. Research shows that black raspberries may reduce the chances of developing breast cancer. The same goes for broccoli. It can help prevent colon cancer.


Is it safe to eat raw garlic?

Raw garlic contains potent compounds that could cause stomach upset. Garlic should always be cooked before eating.

Garlic is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. It has been used since ancient times to treat various ailments.

Today, garlic is still commonly used for treating colds, coughs, and other respiratory infections. In addition, garlic can increase blood circulation, boost immunity, protect against cancer, lower cholesterol levels, prevent heart disease, and reduce stress.

Do not ingest large amounts of raw garlic to avoid possible health problems. It does not harm you if you consume small amounts regularly, however. This is especially true with young children who might accidentally swallow some.


What herb heals all wounds?

The answer to this question varies depending on the type and severity of the wound.

The herb comfrey (also known as knitbone) has long been used for its healing properties, particularly for skin injuries such as cuts and bruises.

Studies suggest that comfrey contains allantoin, which helps speed up healing. Other herbs commonly used for healing wounds include calendula, plantain, and yarrow. These herbs help to reduce inflammation, stop bleeding and speed up the skin's healing process.

In addition to herbs, honey has also been found to have powerful antimicrobial properties that can help prevent wound infection.

Herbs for wound care is an age-old practice that continues to be used today. However, herbs should not replace medical treatment, and always consult your doctor before using herbs for healing. With the right herbs, you can give your body the support it needs to heal naturally.


Statistics

  • For those with high cholesterol, garlic supplementation appears to reduce total and/or LDL cholesterol by about 10-15% (72Trusted Source73Trusted (healthline.com)
  • The global herbs market is expected to reach more than $125 billion by the end of 2025.

How To

How To Upcycle Herbs After Making Infusions, Oils, Tinctures, And More?

There are more ways to use herbs than you might realize. This is why it's essential to keep an open mind when learning how to make herbal infusions, oils, tinctures, and more.

You'll find that there are many methods for making these products, and even though they may seem similar, each method has its benefits.

For example, some methods include creating decoctions, boiling water or alcohol with the herb(s), and letting them simmer for a while. These infusions are solid and potent because they contain higher concentrations of active compounds.

Another type of infusion includes macerating the herb(s), which means soaking them in liquid for a few hours or even overnight. Macerations tend to produce milder results because the plant material isn't boiled.

Some cold-infused forms involve steeping herbs in cool liquids such as ice cubes or cold water. Cold infusions are gentler than hot ones, often used to treat minor ailments.

Herbal oil extraction involves heating the herb(s) to release the essential oils. You can either do this yourself or have someone help you out with it.

Finally, there are tinctures made by mixing herbs with alcohol. They're usually taken orally and are very effective for treating coughs, colds, and flu symptoms.

The best way to learn how to create infused products is to experiment with various techniques. Each technique offers a different potency and effectiveness, depending on the herb(s) you choose.

Once you've tried a few different methods, you'll begin to develop your preferences. In time, you'll be able to determine which techniques work well for you and which aren't worth pursuing.
