WishGarden Herbs — From 1970s Herbal Renaissance To Radical Remedies.
“Empowering people to own their health by crafting radical herbal remedies for everyday life — bridging ancient plant healing traditions with modern accessibility.”
Shop WishGarden Herbs ↓At Daily Health & Beauty, we’re honored to carry WishGarden Herbs — a pioneering herbal company born from the 1970s herbal renaissance and built by environmental crusader, women’s rights advocate, and trained midwife Catherine Hunziker. From a closet filled with alchemical wonders to a comprehensive everyday health solution, WishGarden has spent decades proving that ancient plant wisdom can be radical, accessible, and life-changing.
The Origin Story
The 1970s, known for bell-bottom jeans and disco fever, also saw a quieter revolution — the herbal renaissance. This movement aimed to reconnect people with ancient plant healing traditions that were largely lost during the 1900s in America.
Amid this rising interest in holistic health, Catherine Hunziker emerged as a passionate environmental crusader and fervent advocate for women’s rights. As a trained midwife, she recognized the urgent need for women to reclaim their health and wellness — and began handcrafting fast-acting liquid herbal extract blends to assist midwives during births.
This dedication led her to acquire WishGarden Herbs in the 1980s, which at the time was little more than a closet filled with alchemical wonders. What followed was a decades-long transformation into one of the most trusted herbal remedy brands in America.
“We are honored to carry on our mission of empowering people to own their health by crafting radical herbal remedies for everyday life.”
— WishGarden HerbsThe Innovation That Changed Everything
Making Herbalism Approachable
Instead of expecting people to identify single herbs like mullein, angelica, and elecampane for lung health, Catherine combined them into effective blends with explanatory and catchy names. This approach simplified the path to natural wellness and boosted the appeal of herbal remedies in natural grocery stores, apothecaries, and holistic medicine clinics.
