Our story

    Slow-made medicine,
    for people who pay attention.

    Alternate Healing is an independent apothecary. Every bottle, every jar, every drop is hand-crafted by a tiny team that believes plant medicine deserves more patience than the modern market gives it.

    Alternate Healing workshop

    We started in a small workshop, with a single copper still and a stubborn refusal to compromise.

    Alternate Healing was founded out of frustration. The wellness aisle had become a noise machine — endless brands, indistinguishable promises, cheap fillers behind heavy marketing. We wanted something quieter. Something you could open and trust just by smelling.

    We turned to a tradition that has never needed reinvention: Rick Simpson's original RSO protocol. Slow. Full-spectrum. Raw. The way it was meant to be made before scale corrupted it.

    Today we still make every batch by hand, in small numbers, sealed in amber glass. We sign each bottle. We answer every message. And we won't ship anything we wouldn't take ourselves.

    What we stand for

    Four quiet promises.

    Raw concentrate

    No carrier oils, no thinners, no shortcuts. Just plant.

    Slow extraction

    Low-heat, multi-stage process that preserves the full spectrum.

    Handmade

    Stirred, bottled, labelled and signed in our workshop.

    Lab-checked

    Independent testing on every batch. Documentation on request.

    What's next

    We're just getting started.

    A larger workshop. A wider range. Topicals, salves, sleep tinctures, ritual kits. If you want to grow alongside us, this is the moment.
