Quality From Farm To Home

Equinox Botanicals’ goal is as much about sustainable farming and harvesting practices as it is about producing the highest quality products available and will never stray from organic practices or over-gather their herbs.

When purchasing ingredients they don’t grow and produce, they are conscientious to ensure that they buy the purest ingredients from the most conscientious sources, including family friends in Hawaii each year.

All of their products are handmade in small batches in their apothecary, and bottled, labeled, & shipped right from their farm, allowing them to closely monitor the quality of their products from start to finish. They ensure quality by utilizing intimate manufacturing processes such as harvesting herbs by hand according to peak potency cycles to maximize medicinal value, as well as having a detailed system of traceability & quality control that tracks an herb and all production from start to finish.

Botanical Restoration

Equinox Farm and Botanical Sanctuary, located in Southeast Ohio, "Appalachia's herb basket", is home to some of the largest wild populations of goldenseal, blue and black cohosh, wild ginger, and ramps in the United States as well as vast stands of American ginseng, bloodroot, and countless other native medicinal herbs. It’s a place where forests full of endangered medicinal species, which were being desecrated by strip mining for coal in the early 1950’s, have been reclaimed, restored, and protected by conservation easement for over 50 years. Students, teachers, botanists, and herbalists from far and wide come to the farm each year to study, conduct research, and revel in natural wonder. In addition to these efforts, Equinox Botanicals is committed to only using sustainable practices when it comes to their sourcing and farming.

Equinox Botanicals

In the mid-1970’s, Paul Strauss, a young organic farmer and budding herbalist, created an herbal salve to address the day-to-day wounds that inevitably accompany farm life. The salve found its way to friends and neighbors, and before long people were asking where they could buy some. From that humble beginning grew EQUINOX BOTANICALS™ and the herbal products they offer.

They believe that EQUINOX BOTANICALS™ is something special and that their products are only as good as the ingredients from which they are made. The quality of their ingredients is intimately tied to the quality of the land that yields them.
