Created by a Naturopathic Doctor and an Herbalist, Herbal Autonomy empowers you to reclaim your health through nature-based care, herbal products, and accessible education — offering real tools for wellness and sovereignty outside of a system built on dependency and extraction.
OUR VISION
Our Mission: Health Sovereignty & Happiness for All

In a capitalist system driven by greed, power, and extraction, everyday people are being pushed further from health sovereignty, freedom, and true well-being.
At Herbal Autonomy,
we are aiming to change that.
We envision a world where people reclaim control over their health and lives — grounded in nature, self-reliance, and community. Through preventative herbal products, educational tools, and a local barter network, we’re building alternatives to the current broken systems that profit from keeping people unwell, disempowered, and dependent.
An Empowering Model of Health
Founded by a Naturopathic Doctor and an Herbalist, Herbal Autonomy is rooted in the principles of naturopathic medicine — especially:
-
The Healing Power of Nature
-
Identify and Treat the Cause
-
Prevention over Prescription
Instead of treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals made in labs — and gatekeeping relief through expensive prescriptions — we turn to nature.
Most of us don’t have access to laboratories gatekept by big pharma and big insurance,
but we do have access to the earth.
Our goal is to make natural care empowering, accessible, and preventative — not something you rely on only when you’re already unwell.

Beyond Money: Harmonious Exchange
Health isn’t the only system that's broken —
our monetary system is, too.
As wealth concentrates into the hands of a few, everyday people are forced to work harder for less. That’s why we are in the process of creating Harmonious Exchange: a barter and gift economy network, launching in Portland, Oregon.
We envision a thriving community of gardeners, therapists, hunters, bodyworkers, artisans, teachers, coaches, healers, and more — exchanging goods, services, and knowledge without money.
This project is inspired by movements like The Venus Project, Buy Nothing, Mutual Aid and Sacred Economics, and is built on the belief that the earth and our communities already provide all we need.

And, if you're in the Portland area and have a product or service you'd like to barter, please do reach out — we love to trade!
Final Note
Profit has never been our priority. While we offer herbal products for sale as a convenient and supportive option, our deeper mission is to help people become less dependent on extractive systems.
That’s why we also provide recipes, education, and tools to help you grow and prepare your own medicine — in your garden, in your kitchen, and in your community.
Because real freedom begins with health sovereignty, community support, and a return to what the earth has always offered.
