The Invisible Gift

Cunning herbalists are intrepid investigators who seek out knowledge. In 2020, Jessica Marcy became an herbalist and began selling
Old Wisdom Wellness herbal teas and skincare. 

Old Wisdom Wellness is a blend of modern science, ancestral teachings, and natural intuition. 

“I wanted to step away from mass produced products and use more natural products with the kids,” she added. 

Then Jessica explained how her intuition guides her creations. 

“With people, I can see and feel where they might not be completely honest with themselves and about their habits.” 

Healthy, Merry, and Bright

The sacred practice of drinking tea is a ritual seeped in tradition. 

Old Wisdom Wellness honors this heritage with teas made from Mountain Rose Herbs’ organic, ethically, and sustainably-sourced ingredients. Flowers from the garden of local grower Hummingbird’s Blooms, and plants that Jessica forages (such as wintergreen, yarrow, and mint) are used in balms, salves, and bath soaps.

Old Wisdom Wellness’ most popular tea, After Dinner Chai, has no caffeine and is made from freshly-crushed cardamon pods, rooibos, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, dandelions, and anise seeds. Another customer favorite, the Rest & Recover blend, was created for a patient recovering from cancer, and includes ginger, nettle, rosehips, Tulsi, and chamomile. 

Magic seized Jessica while making the set of charming Harry Potter teas in blends that conjure a Gryffindor’s courage, Ravenclaw’s wisdom, Slytherin’s cunning, and Hufflepuff’s loyalty. 

“I went down the rabbit hole and had a lot of fun with that project,” she said.
