Herbs & Sympathy

Herbs & Sympathy We offer bulk herbs, teas, and other wellness products and services. We currently have 126 herbs on our shelves, 71 of which start at $3.00 per ounce.

Come see us @ The Serpent's Key in Downtown Hanover, Pa. Sometimes a new endeavor begins when a mom, who absolutely loved being a mom and enjoyed her children immensely, has to cope with a huge empty nest. Necessity prompts her that it is time to follow a different path. So, she went back to school – an excellent coping strategy, albeit an expensive one. When she completed her first Master’s degree in Nutrition and Herbal Medicine, Hedgewitch Enterprises (HER) was born in a little office in Abbottstown, PA, during the fall of 2017. However, she very much loved the process of learning and though she did learn a great deal with first degree, she wanted to learn much more about plant medicine. She continued for another year and completed a second Masters in Therapeutic Herbalism. She found that her heart truly lies with the plants that can heal us and with the people who need them. So, HER expanded a little and opened a small booth, Herbs & Sympathy, at The Markets of Hanover in August 2018 with the intention of helping more people and upholding her mission statement. By February 2019, she had expanded again into a larger booth at the market and moved the private office to a home office to conserve time and resources. She loved the name of her little booth so much that she decided to change our business name to Herbs & Sympathy. In July 2022, she expanded a third time into a bigger space. As she has retired from her “muggle” job in December 2021, she can now devote more time to Herbs & Sympathy and she is ready to spread her roots and grow. In keeping with this, Herbs & Sympathy has now relocated to 28 Carlisle street and is partnering with The Serpent's Key. Come and spend some time with us. We would love to share how plants – leaf, petal, root – can heal us and move us from here to healthy. Our Mission is to strive through honest, heartfelt, educated intention and earth conscious endeavors to create and to bring to clients and customers, services and products that support body, soul and mind. In peace,
Faith

🖤 Why We Don’t Use Fillers in Our Capsules 🖤
At Herbs & Sympathy, when we say “herbal capsules,” we mean just that.
No fillers.
No flow agents.
No mystery powders.
Just pure, single herbs or intentional herbal blends in vegetarian capsules.
🌿 Why?
Because fillers are often added to:
• Make capsules look fuller
• Improve machine flow in mass production
• Cut costs
• Standardize weight
But we aren’t mass producing.
We are hand-encapsulating in small batches. That means we don’t need to add rice flour, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, or other anti-caking agents just to make the process easier.
What goes in your capsule:
✔️ The herb
✔️ Intention
✔️ Care
That’s it.
When you’re supporting your nervous system, your liver, your hormones, your heart — you deserve to know exactly what’s going into your body.
The only capsule on our shelves we do not hand-make is the Magnesium Taurine Blend by Karma Farma — and we carry it intentionally because it’s the one magnesium supplement that has personally kept my levels stable. When something works, I honor that.
Everything else?
Encapsulated right here in Hanover. Small batch. Transparent. Purpose-driven.
If you’re ever curious about what’s in something — ask me. I will always tell you.
🖤

🧠💚 RESTOCK ALERT: Magnesium Taurine Blend is Back! 💚🧠
We just restocked Karma Farma’s Magnesium Taurine Blend — and this one is a powerhouse for nervous system support, muscle relaxation, and heart health.

✨ What’s inside each capsule:
• Magnesium Glycinate – gentle & calming
• Magnesium Citrate – supports digestion & absorption
• Magnesium Malate – energy + muscle support
• Taurine – supports heart rhythm & electrolyte balance
• Boron – helps magnesium absorption

This blend is ideal for:
✔️ Stress + anxiety support
✔️ Muscle tension & cramping
✔️ PMS symptoms
✔️ Sleep support
✔️ Heart rhythm balance
✔️ Chronic pain + migraines

Suggested Use (per label):
Take 1 capsule up to 2 times daily as needed.
If winter stress, barometric pressure shifts, or nervous system overload have been hitting you lately… magnesium is often one of the first places I look.

Available in-store at The Serpent’s Key Shoppe 🖤
Limited quantity in stock.
Message me if you’d like one set aside for pickup.

⚠️ As always:
• Consult your healthcare provider if pregnant, nursing, or on medications.
• Use caution if taking heart medications or blood pressure meds.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

🖤 Did You Know We Make (Almost) All of Our Own Capsules? 🖤
At Herbs & Sympathy, nearly every capsule you see on these shelves is handcrafted in-house.

That means:
✨ Pure herbs
✨ No fillers
✨ No mystery blends
✨ Vegetarian capsules
✨ Made in small batches

We do this because I want to know exactly what’s going into your body. And I want you to know, too.

The only capsule we don’t make ourselves is the Magnesium Taurine Blend by Karma Farma — and we carry it intentionally. It’s the only magnesium supplement that has consistently kept my magnesium levels within normal range. When something works, I pay attention.

Everything else?
Encapsulated right here with care.

🌿 Looking for something we don’t currently carry?
Reach out. If we can source the herb, we may be able to encapsulate it for you.

⏳ Running low on your capsules?

02/25/2026

When the energies feel heavy…
There are moments when the air feels thick.
When the collective feels loud.
When something unnamed presses at the edges of our awareness.

And in those moments, I notice something.

People begin reaching out.
Quiet messages.
“Are you feeling this?”
“What is happening?”
“How do we ground?”
“What does this mean?”

And the Phoenix pauses.

Because when the energy is heavy, it would be easy to retreat. To burrow. To tend only to my own fire.

But I’m starting to understand something…

When the world feels like it’s standing on the brink — what some call awakening, what some call unraveling — the role isn’t to panic.

The role is to anchor.
To listen.
To translate.
To remind.
Not from a place of fear.
But from steadiness.

If you’re feeling the weight of collective shifts — you are not alone.
If you’re sensing change — you’re not crazy.
If you’re reaching for grounding — that’s wisdom, not weakness.

Heavy energy doesn’t mean doom.
It often means transition.

And the Phoenix knows something about transition.
We don’t burn because the world is ending.
We burn because something truer is emerging.

Stay grounded.
Drink your tea.
Touch the earth.
Limit the noise.
Trust your inner knowing.

And if you need an anchor, I’m here.
🖤🗝️🫶🏻 - Beka - the phoenix 🐦‍🔥
