One of the real joys of this work is seeing Woodland Herbal products find homes in such thoughtful, character-filled shops across Ohio.
Some are beloved natural food co-ops, another is Gemini’s, a wonderfully unique family-run shop with a spirit all its own, and of course, one is our own Woodland Herbal herb shop. We are genuinely honored to be alongside these businesses and communities, and we hope you will stop in, explore, and show them some love the next time you are nearby.

NEW! Natural Sunscreen at WoodlandHerbal.com – Sunshine is one of life’s pleasures, but what you put on your skin matters. Our Natural Sunscreen was made for bright days, long walks, garden hours, beach trips, and all the other moments when you want real sun protection without coating yourself in harsh, suspicious ingredients. Creamy, nourishing, and beautifully wearable, it offers a cleaner, more thoughtful way to meet the sun.
Our all natural sunscreen is a blend of Nature’s best sun-blocking oils, plant extracts, minerals and essential oils, which come together in a gentle and creamy topical that’s among our finest recipes. This non-toxic sunscreen duals as a deep moisturizer and is a capable blocker of UVA and UVB sun rays. Luxurious in how it feels going on the skin, our natural sunscreen goes on silky and soaks in quickly without leaving an oily trace. And it has a beautiful, yet subtle bouquet of calendula, lavender and myrrh. Where many commercial brands have gone the route of using harmful chemicals and toxin-riddled ingredients in their formulas, ours is clean, ocean-safe and biodegradable. Our sunscreen seems to perform around 30-40 SPF.
Many traditional brands focus on chemicals that absorb sunlight, but ours is made with a mineral known as non-nano Zinc Oxide, which reflects harmful sun rays. We carefully chose every ingredient for its SPF value and for its nourishing effectiveness on skin. We start with a heat extraction of Calendula Flowers in Coconut Oil (SPF 4-6), Avocado Oil (SPF 4-15), Sweet Almond Oil (SPF 5), and Wheat Germ Oil (SPF 20), then melt in Beeswax (SPF 2-8) and Shea Butter (SPF 4-6) before finishing with Myrrh (SPF 15-20) and Lavender Essential Oils, Red Raspberry Seed Oil (SPF 25-50), Carrot Seed Oil (SPF 35-40), and 25% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (SPF 25+).

Our finest energy booster is our delicious and beautiful Red Nebula Tea. This Cosmic Energy Tea is ideal for Boosting Energy, improving Mental Clarity and Cognitive Function, and is a wonderful natural alternative to coffee for a morning boost.
Our Red Nebula Tea is a very special tea with a serious energy kick. It not only tastes amazing, but it will battle fatigue, ease brain fog, and support a positive mood, while aiding focus and cognitive function. This tea is adaptogenic, which means it can help ease the negative effect stress, anxiety, and adrenal fatigue can have on the body and brain. Red Nebula can be enjoyed in the morning or when you feel an energy crash coming on.‡
The aroma is floral, earthy with overwhelming notes of blooming Jasmine and delectable White Tea. The palate brings a cascade of rich flavors, which come from the rare and exotic Red Lotus Flower (Nymphaea rubra), Jasmine Tea, Pu’erh White Tea leaves, Red Rose petals, Red Raspberries, and Hibiscus flowers. We also blend in dynamic Asian Red Ginseng root, Gotu Kola, Rama Holy Basil, as well as invigorating Yerba Mate. Red Nebula is naturally caffeinated.‡
NEW Blog: The Many Languages of Plant Medicine: A Guide to Herbal Preparations at WoodlandHerbal.com
“If you’ve ever stood in front of an herb shelf and thought, “Okay, why are there twelve ways to take a plant?” you’re not alone.
I mean, really. There’s tea, tincture, salve, liniment, poultice, compress, spagyria, oxymel, glycerite, pastille, aromatherapy, flower essence, powder, capsule, oil, syrup, honey, vinegar, and then there’s infusion, decoction, extract, hydrosol, herbal water… At a certain point, you just glaze over. Much like I imagine what a modern person would do walking into a grand apothecary from long ago, with shelves brimming with jars and bottles and strange specimens, the air thick with scent and story.
It can feel like the plant world is making this harder than it needs to be.
But here’s the gentler, truer way to see it. Herbal preparations are not “extra.” They are the language of plant medicine...”
We invite you to join us for our upcoming FolkCraft Workshop – July 26, 2026 @ 1:00 PM - Don’t Get Toasted: Make Natural Sunscreen & After Burn Care
Step into summer a little wiser in this hands-on FolkCraft workshop on natural sun care. Students will make their own natural sunscreen to take home, learn about natural and mineral SPF ingredients, and explore how herbalists think about protecting and soothing sun-exposed skin. We’ll also demonstrate a simple after-sun remedy for burns, heat, and dryness, while talking through why many conventional sunscreen products raise concerns for our bodies, waterways, and ocean life. Fun, practical, and useful, this class is a great introduction to building a more natural summer apothecary. Limited to 15 seats.
People are often told they have inflammation, but almost nobody is told what to do with that information in a way that actually feels helpful. One product says pain relief. Another says anti-inflammatory. Another says muscle support. Another says take this daily. And before long, you are staring at a wall of options, wondering what on earth you actually need.
That is part of why our pain and inflammation remedies have become such trusted favorites around here. We do not believe every ache, every stiff joint, every tense shoulder, every worn-down back, and every inflamed tissue state wants the same kind of support. On the Woodland Herbal blog, Brandon recently wrote that different kinds of discomfort ask for different remedies, different times of day ask for different support, and a good topical can be exactly the right medicine for the moment while daily herbs and other approaches help from different angles.
So we made it easy…
Our Relief Essentials Collection was created for the person who knows they need support, but does not want to play guessing games trying to build the perfect relief routine from scratch. This collection gives you a thoughtful, well-rounded starting place with five Woodland Herbal favorites gathered into one bundle: Relief Rub, Twilight Cream, Daily 8 Tea, Relief Elixir, and InflammaEase. Woodland Herbal is a family-run Ohio apothecary built on four generations of lived plant knowledge, and this new collection is featured as one of the newest offerings on the site. Available at WoodlandHerbal.com
Here is why it works so well:
Relief Rub for everyday aches, sore muscles, joints, and tension.
Twilight Cream for nighttime discomfort.
Daily 8 Tea for steady daily herbal support, because not every inflammatory story begins with the strongest thing on the shelf.
Relief Elixir when you want a more potent internal ally on hand.
InflammaEase for deeper plant support around inflammation and overall wellness.
And the best part: customers save $25 by grabbing the collection instead of buying each piece separately. A more complete herbal relief routine is now waiting for you.

Our seed swap event was fun, but Jenni still has a bunch of seeds for sharing! Stop by the shop Saturday 4/4, 10-4 to have a peek in the basket. Jenni is happy to trade for other seeds, snacks, shiny things, and pretty rocks.

Woodland Herbal consists of family members who focus on herbal medicine and all natural body care and wellness products. We have four generations of Herbalists in our family, and so by employing at least four-generation old techniques, we can produce potent herbal care products for health of body, mind, and soul. For many of our ingredients, we forage for ourselves, as well as grow a lot of our own herbs, and every herbal product we sell is handmade.
We are a partnership, made up of Brandon and Leah Scott. We are passionate owners who have a hand in every detail of every product, who hope to serve and inspire a healthier community. We have been making herbal products for much of our lives, for family and friends for when they needed it most, which has helped us to refine our recipes while gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to hit the ground running.
Our goal is to have a larger and longer lasting effect on our world than to simply run a shop that has a positive effect on the community. Through our knowledge and understanding of nature and the power of medicinal plants, we wish to educate others about alternative remedies, while at the same time, working toward building a better future for all by striving to curb environmental destruction. This is why we plant a local Ohio tree for every product sold. Click here to read more about our future goals and what we’re working to accomplish. With your help, we can grow a better tomorrow. Peace and love.
Brandon is a wanderer and world traveler, an author and artist, a herbalist as well as a photographer, thinker, designer, nature lover, and seeker of truth and wisdom.
Leah is an empathic creative, who loves the natural world and finds no greater joy than in helping others. She has years of experience studying human anatomy, behavior, and sociology.
