Rooted in Indiana

Becky's Wild Roots started with an overly curious mind, a limited budget, and a lot of frustration. 

​

When my daughter developed eczema as a baby, I started questioning the products I had always assumed were safe and gentle. I began reading ingredient lists, researching studies, and asking a simple question: Do we really need all this in a lotion or soap?

At first, switching products was enough until other problems came along for my friends or family.  Dry skin, athletes foot, toothpaste sensitivity, achy hands and feet, oily hair, foot odors, diaper rashes, etc. Each new problem sent me down a new rabbit hole, thank you NIH! (National Institute of Health)

​

Eventually researching wasn't't enough, I wanted to make my own. I started studying the plants I hiked by everyday and the traditional uses for them in herbalism. Suddenly my rabbit hole had roots and my balms came to life.

​

My first balm I just simply called my green balm. I handed it out for free for years in ugly ball jars to my friends and family. They would always ask when I was making more and the demand kept growing. Soon I was handing out green balm, muscle balm, and tooth powders to my neighbors, friends,

and family. I became a balm dealer, lol. 

​

This business was never really planned it just happened-one problem and one jar at a time!

Cottonwood Buds

Resin-rich buds traditionally infused into topical oils and salves. Cottonwood buds contain aromatic resins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds, including salicylate-related constituents.

Chamomile officinalis

The gentle white flower of the Indiana meadows, prized for its soothing and calming botanical essence.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

An aromatic herb with a long history of topical use. Yarrow contains flavonoids, phenolic compounds and volatile constituents that make it a valuable addition in herbal infusions.
