HISTORY
The Herb Shoppe was opened on September 15th, 2005 in our first location on East Burnside. In May of 2008 we moved The Shoppe to its current location on Hawthorne Blvd. It is owned and operated by Dr. JJ Pursell who has her private Family Medicine practice within The Shoppe.
The Herb Shoppe is a community oriented retail business focused on providing the highest qualities of herbs and botanical products. We try to source most of our products from local growers and Oregon based distributors. Some of those include: Oregon’s Wild Harvest, Pacific Botanicals, Winword Intentional Community, and Mountain Rose Herbals. We also believe strongly in supporting local Herbalists and have an entire section devoted to their products. These herbs are some of the finest herbal products available.
One of the cornerstones of The Herb Shoppe is to be a resource for our community in the study of herbal medicine and traditional healing. We are a full service Natural Pharmacy, providing over the counter herbal medications for day to day physical ailments. We are also an herbal compounding pharmacy, filling prescriptions for patients in the form of liquid extracts (teas), tinctures, and/or capsules.
The Herb Shoppe also serves as a Practitioner Treatment space. We offer full service patient care with treatments focused in Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture. Because of this, professionalism and confidentiality is of the utmost importance.
Education is offered through our Free Wednesday Night Lecture series. This involves local Practitioners contributing their time and knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Lectures run from the end of September through May each year, taking the summer months off. Other workshops are also taught in the back space, including a 10 month Herbal Certification class.
