Borealchemy Azure Daniels
Azure's work as a mother, doula and home birth midwife's assistant brought her into the realm of plant medicine 20 years ago and she has been learning and studying the herbal healing craft ever since! In 2017-18 she attended The Green Wisdom School of Natural and Botanical Medicine's master herbalism program and opened for business in 2020. Born and raised a girl of the north country, she recently relocated to Vermont from the southern shore of Lake Superior. Having spent most of her life a stone’s throw from Canadian shores, she has always been most at home in the northerly climes with the plants that inhabit those lands being her beloved allies.
Though she does look to a few exotics for precious ingredients in her herbal formulas, the main focus is on botanicals that can be found in the wild boreal landscapes and grown amidst the rocky, forested soils that sustain the beings of these far flung pristine places. Sourcing ingredients as close to home as possible, many are wildcrafted and some are cultivated by regional herb growers and local farmers. Striving to do no harm in the procuring & production of her goods with minimal packaging, either with biodegradable, recycled materials or reusable containers, she holds the intention of eventually accomplishing zero waste.
Azure strives to bring herbal medicine to others in a highly accessible and safe manner, mainly through timeless folk remedies that have long been crafted in the kitchens of witches & farm wives over the ages while also turning to indigenous teachings to uncover the ancient wisdom that has too long been overlooked.
