About Our Botanical Dispensary

Who Can Access the Dispensary

Our services are available to licensed or trained holistic practitioners, including herbalists, naturopathic doctors, integrative physicians, midwives, acupuncturists, and other professionals working with plant-based medicine.

What We Offer

Building on our foundation of high-integrity plant medicine, Ancient Origins Apothecary offers a full-service botanical compounding dispensary created specifically for holistic health practitioners.

Our dispensary includes a wide range of herbal preparations, such as:

  • Single-herb tinctures
  • Bulk dried herbs & teas
  • Standardized extract powders (botanical and mushroom)
  • Medicinal capsules
  • Topicals including creams, salves, sprays, and oils

These preparations can be custom compounded to meet the unique needs of your patients—whether you’re blending a personalized tincture or developing a full internal and topical protocol.

We also offer an exclusive line of clinical formulas, developed over the past decade by Medical Herbalist Megan Waddy and Naturopathic Physician Dr. Jenna Waddy. These formulas are based on extensive clinical experience and are available as ready-made products through our botanical dispensary OR through our wholesale program.
