"My experience with Meraki Farmacy has been quite amazing thus far! Not only are you incredibly knowledgeable about plants, but also such a kind, compassionate, and fun human to talk to. I’m so happy I reached out and found out about your consult offerings. When I left the consult, not only did I have a package of plant goodies to look forward to, but also lots of other resources to guide me in my healing. I’ve been using my tincture, flower essence, boo boo balm concoction for a little over a month now and what has come from it has been life changing.
Thank you for the amazing work that you do for the world !!"
"Lu, I started using chemical-free products in my early 20s. For approximately 15 years I have tried countless products, and your's are by far my favorite! Not only are they completely chemical-free and packaged with thought toward the environment, but they are the most effective. Triple power punch of awesomeness, girl!"

"Received my magical care package last evening, filled with many good goodies. Hopped in the shower and checked out the Bee Clean and Locks and Lather (fka Beerd Soap). Left the shower feeling and smelling clean (which isn't often) and without that dry bar soapy feeling I usually get with the cheap box store brands. Skin still feels smooth today. A work day rarely passes without cutting myself several times so I'll be trying out the boo balm when I leave here. I can feel all the magic and mad respect infused with every product. Cheers."

"Love the Teeth Paste! And the Boo-Boo Balm is a straight up miracle. I had a small rash/irritation on the side of my nose, rubbed a little balm on it and it's practically gone! I've been using something else for weeks with no results."

"Yesterday I got the Locks and Lather (fka Beerd Bar) in the mail from Meraki Farmacy. It's a shampoo soap made with beer and formulated for beards. I tried it tonight and like it better than anything else I've tried so far. "

"A friend asked me about the Pit Stick. It's what I have been looking for! It smells great, it's free of harmful chemicals & it keeps me dry. I haven't even needed to reapply it. Lioux, thank you for making something that works, I am super impressed!"
"The Poppy & Lavender soap is hands down the best soap I have ever used. It's been hard to try Meraki's other soaps because I love this one so much. I'm not typically a lavender girl, but the smell is subtle and lovely. The soap contains real poppy seeds, so it's a natural exfoliant. I don't use nearly as much lotion as I used to because this soap doesn't leave me dried out. I love it so much, I've given it as gifts to other people. Do yourself a favor, and definitely try this soap!"
"I wanted to let you know I am trying the Pit Stick (lavender) today. It's great!! I was unsure about lavender: when I have gotten natural deodorants with lavender in the past, that smell was stinky on me. But this is lovely! You have definitely perfected your recipe! I also got the lemongrass and can't wait to try it!”

The Chill Joy blend "is so light and grounding all at once! I really appreciate how close to the earth it is, like it's bringing the outdoors into my body. Thank you so much!"
"Your Boo Boo Balm cured my face cancer!"
it wasn't cancer, but it was a suspected insect bite that had started to infect. two days of boo boo balm and the condition resolved, without complications.
"The Locks and Lather Bar isn't your average personal hygiene item. It is beyond that. Prior to switching to this shampoo bar I was using a commercial "natural" shampoo. My scalp wast itchy and constantly irritated. within TWO uses of Merak' L&L my scalp is actually healed and no longer itchy. It's moisturizing, healing and cleansing. It also doubles as an amazing shave lotion which gives a super close shave, and that's just a bonus. It really is a superstar shampoo."
Thank you, Erin! So so happy to hear the rosemary, beer and jojoba are treating your hair and scalp as intended: with healing and moisturizing power.
"That lemon balm tincture is incredible! I took three drops tonight, it has totally softened my heightened nervous system after work. I can't thank you enough. I also started using the breast and lymph oil as my post work self massage (again for calming my nervous system). I just want you to know I am so grateful for the plant medicine you make!"
"Your SPF salve is amaaazing!! Yesterday we went to the river. I layered it with some other spf and didn't burn at all. However, I forgot to do my back! I burned, but the salve after the sun made it look so good, less than a day later. I don't know if you meant for it to be an after sun salve, but it WORKS. I have fair skin and usually peel like crazy when I get red. Thank you!!"
