Radiance, the retail shop of Herbs from the Labyrinth, LLC, is now in its tenth year. Owned by Community Herbalist Sarah Preston, the shop is open six days a week, and features a full line of herbal wellness products, including cold care and immune system support, many of which are made right in-house from Preston’s recipes. Dried medicinal herbs, as well as homeopathic and ayurvedic remedies are in stock. Special events, workshops and classes can be found on the website. 

Colds and germs, as well as increased stress and seasonal depression, lower immunity. Herbal products can help fortify the system prior to illness, shorten or lessen symptoms and quicken recovery. Natural remedies work with the body gently, rather than acting upon the body like pharmaceuticals. Many are beneficial year-round and gentle enough for long-term use. Preston carefully vets all suppliers and researches all products before deciding to carry them, so customers can trust their purchases and ask questions about which remedies might work for them. 

Preston, a board member of the Northeast Herbal Association, has studied with Matthew Wood, Rosemary Gladstar and other well-known herbalists. She schedules formal, paid, herbal consultations for those seeking extended one-on-one time—especially those with complex symptoms or medical histories. Readers can benefit from her 30-plus years of experience, extensive training and breadth of knowledge of many forms of natural medicine.
