About Us! -
The Essential Elements Apothecary is located at 3135 SE Hawthorne Blvd. in SE Portland
Like anything profound and magical, there are no words to describe the Essential Elements Apothecary without having experienced it for yourself, but, like anything profound and magical, we still have to try. We have been open since February of 2008, and has continued to flourish in ways beyond our imagination. Run entirely by volunteer effort, the apothecary has become more than just a shop - it is place where profound healing occurs on a daily basis, a place where massive amounts of information and energy are exchanged and transmuted, and a community center where people from all walks of life may come to share skills, inspiration, knowledge, and love.
Whether you're just stopping in to enjoy a cup of tea, or if you are in seeking of healing, the Apothecary's doors are open to all souls seeking peace, health, and knowledge. Our master herbalist Carmella Cook has been helping people help themselves through herbal medicine for over a decade. With a selection of over 400 organic and wild-crafted herbs, along with professional herbal extracts, tinctures, healing teas, natural care products, and essential oils, the apothecary's medicine cabinent is well equipped to aid many ailments.
In addition to our herbal remedies, the apothecary is also home to many other forms of healing as well. We cooporate with a network of local healers to provide diverse, specialized forms of care, including Massage Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Free Meditation Classes, Flotation Tank Therapy, Support Groups, Herbal Workshops, and much more! Check out our calender to see a comprehensive list of events, classes, and workshops.
We are entirely run by volunteer effort; no one has ever profited from the establishment other than the community itself - all proceeds go to expand the shop in its service to the community, as we work together to create a more concious, beautiful, and sincere world for all sentient beings to coexist in harmoniously.
