What’s Inside a Hiker’s Apothecary Box?

Your Trail-Ready Kit for Natural Healing, Herbal Support, and a Little Plant Magic

🥾 Hey, Hiker. You’re in the Right Place.

Whether you hike to stay sane, get strong, or just escape people for a while (relatable), your body puts in work out there. And if you're tired of reaching for chemical-laden bug sprays, questionable painkillers, or mystery “sports drinks” that taste like melted snow cone… you’re our kind of trailblazer.

Enter: Hiker’s Apothecary—a handcrafted, bi-monthly subscription box made just for women who hike hard, love nature, and want natural remedies that actually work.

🌲 So, What’s Inside the Box?

Every other month, we ship out a themed herbal trail kit that includes:

1. Muscle-Soothing Salves & Rubs

Think arnica, cayenne, or comfrey-based blends to help your knees, calves, shoulders, and trail-weary feet feel less betrayed.
💚 Handcrafted, non-greasy, and smells like the good part of the forest.

2. Essential Oil Bug Sprays (That Don’t Suck)

We’re talking essential oil blends that smell great and actually work.
No DEET, no stickiness, no “what even is this” ingredients. Just plants that bugs hate and your skin loves.

3. Herbal Tinctures & Tonics

Each box includes a seasonal tincture for things like energy, endurance, immunity, or recovery.
🌿 Perfect for trail use, car camping, or keeping in your pack for emergencies.

4. Trail-Tested Tea Blends

Soothing, energizing, or digestive herbal teas made for sipping at the summit, the trailhead, or your front porch while dreaming about next weekend’s hike.
☕ All organic. All good. All designed to support the hiker’s body.

5. Mini Remedies, Rituals & Surprise Goodies

This could be a mini first-aid balm, herbal bath soak, cooling spray, trail mantra card, or other trail-witchy magic to make your hike feel whole.
✨ Because sometimes the remedy is more than physical.

🧭 Who Is This Box For?

You. If you're:

  • A woman aged 30–55 who hikes for health, joy, or mental clarity

  • Interested in natural remedies, herbalism, or DIY body care

  • Sick of products that don’t feel good (on your skin or in your soul)

  • Looking for a thoughtful gift to yourself (or your trail bestie)

🌿 Why Herbal? Why Now?

Because your body deserves more than ibuprofen and gas station snacks.

Herbal remedies offer real support—without the weird side effects. And each product inside our box is:

  • Made in small batches

  • Tested on humans (not animals)

  • Packaged with the planet in mind

  • Created by a long-time herbalist and hiker (hi, that’s me)
