Sage and Folly Historical Apothecary
18TH CENTURY HERBAL REMEDIES AND MEDICINE IN THE FORM OF TEA, SPICES, AND BEAUTY PRODUCTS
From Kitchen Counter to Apothecary Owner
What started as a simple pandemic project in 2020 turned into something extraordinary. At just 10 years old, a curious and creative 5th grader began experimenting with essential oils, herbs, and natural remedies during the long months of quarantine. What began as homemade balms and bath salts for friends and family quickly grew in popularity. With encouragement from her community and a passion for wellness, she officially launched her own apothecary business.
By the time she turned 14, her brand had blossomed into a thriving small business with a loyal customer base, a full product line, and even local store placements. Her story is a testament to the power of curiosity, resilience, and a little bit of kitchen magic.
What the Apothecary Does Today
While the apothecary began with homemade remedies, it has grown into a thriving small business specializing in handcrafted herbal teas made from natural, carefully sourced ingredients. Each blend is inspired by centuries-old recipes, offering both flavor and medicinal function.
Beyond the products, the Sage shares her love of history and herbalism through engaging presentations on topics like the history of apothecaries, herbal remedies, 18th-century beauty, and even 18th-century medicine. She also participates in three annual events at Mount Vernon, where she brings historical healing practices to life through live demonstrations and selling wares.
