Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Heather, herbalist, homeschool mama, and the hands behind Balsam Ridge Traditions. Everything you see here is made with care in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, using time-tested remedies passed down through Appalachian roots. From dried herbs hanging in the kitchen to healing balms on the windowsill, this work is part of my everyday life—and now, I'm honored to share it with you.

Every product is a reflection of faith, family, and the belief that healing should be simple, gentle, and close to home.

Traditions Runs Deep

Before there were store shelves and screens, healing came from what we grew, gathered, and shared. At Balsam Ridge Traditions, we carry that legacy forward-- crafting small-batch remedies that feel like coming home. Every balm, oil, and tea is a quiet nod to the mountain women and homesteaders who came before us.
