We are community~supported medicine.
Our work is made possible by donors in our communities, individuals who drop in at our herbal 1st aid & wellness clinics, event organizers that value and hire us for our expert level care, and through each of our own grassroots efforts. We envision a world where sustainable, affordable, holistic health care is accessible to all and healthcare is truly treated as a right. We are committed to using the highest-quality herbal remedies all the while taking into account the health of the planet’s ecosystems. It truly is going to take community coming together.
If you would like to support our mission we gladly accept cash, first aid and herbal supplies commonly used at our first aid events. Any amount helps us achieve our goals. Our PayPal is gentlestrengthbotanicals@gmail.com
