I have tried many many other products on the market, but in my opinion, nothing compares to the high quality products that Forest & Meadow produces. They use superior organic ingredients.

I started using their Elderberry Syrup one year ago when I was already sick. It definitely shortened the cold/sickness time. In October, I started taking 1 tablespoon daily after my child kept bringing home all the germs and sickness from school. If my husband or child picks something up, I up my dose to 1 tablespoon in the morning and 1 in the evening. If I am already sick, I take 1 tablespoon every 3-4 hours. This stuff is seriously AMAZING.

I am happy to report since October I have not gotten sick once. Everyone around me at home and work has been sick, not me. I don't think I can even thank Amanda enough!

If you are looking for something to help with sickness in your house, I totally recommend the Elderberry Syrup from Amanda at Forest & Meadow. She is beyond accommodating. She even filled an order for me while boarding a plane for vacation!

Amanda is an incredibly gifted and knowledgeable healer! The products Forest & Meadow offer are a direct reflection of that. The formulas are effective, easy to use, and gentle! My two favorite formulas are the Stress Less, which helps your body's stress response (I have found it helps with sleep and recovery from workouts) and the Menstrual Cramp Relief (I have really bad cramps but this formula combined with omega-3s has eliminated the need for ibuprofen). Forest & Meadow products are a big part of my health tool kit and if you are new to herbs, it is a safe space to ask questions and figure out how herbs can support or improve your health and well being! Love this place!

Amanda is a compassionate clinical herbalist with a deep knowledge of plants and genuine care for her clients. I originally sought her out for an herbal consultation, and found her to be thorough (she seeks to gain a holistic picture of your health before making recommendations), accommodating (I was able to bring my young daughter along to appointments and nurse her while we talked), and invested in working WITH you to improve your well-being. Her recommendations -- both for lifestyle changes and for herbal formulas -- were doable, helpful, and spot-on, and I have noticed definite improvement in my digestion while drinking the customized daily tea blend she recommended for me. This tea and her bug bite balm (safe for kids and SO effective in soothing and healing bites and stings) are now staples in our home.

Another definite plus: Amanda is knowledgeable about herbal contraindications during pregnancy and nursing. She is always happy to talk me through any herbal allies with which I am unfamiliar before making a new formula, and her love of plants is infectious! The whole consultation process feels collaborative and empowering, offering a refreshing contrast to my experiences with conventional medicine. Overall, I highly recommend Forest & Meadow Apothecary and Herbal Clinic.

I had an enlarged lymph node that left the area around it irritated and sore along with a loss of my voice. After ruling out Covid-19, strep throat, and ear infection, my doctor offered me antibiotics to see if it would get better.
Instead of taking them, I called and did a phone consult with Amanda (with a raspy voice) who made me my own blend of tinctures to address my condition along with other supportive tea and vitamin recommendations. By the next morning my voice was back. Over the next few days, my swollen lymph steadily decreased. I truly appreciate that Amanda could offer me plant medicine to help my body heal itself. I feel secure knowing that her clinical expertise and herbal medicine is available to me.
