From the Apothecary
Small-batch remedies made for the everyday things life brings your way.
Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Heather - the hands behind Balsam Ridge Traditions.
What started with learning to care for my own home and family grew into a love for the herbs, remedies, and old-fashioned skills that have been part of Appalachian homes for generations.
I make each Balsam Ridge product in small batches here in the mountains of Western North Carolina, blending traditional knowledge with continued study and a whole lot of hands-on making.
Rooted in Tradition
Some things are worth carrying forward. The knowledge of what grows here, how to use it, how to preserve it, and how to make what you need by hand.
Balsam Ridge Traditions is rooted in those skills- honoring Appalachian traditions while keeping them useful for everyday life.
