Dawn Zaft Store/Clinic/Apothecary Songbird Herbal Cooperative is small collective of local herbalists who provide services, organic, (and when possible local), natural medicine at affordable costs, and affordable classes. It is our belief that now more than ever we must move toward a sustainable, nature-based source of medicine that works at all levels: physical, emotional, psycho-spiritual, and cultural. In response to the current paradigm of healthcare, we help empower people with tools to avoid sickness and, if necessary re-establish health through nature-based medicine, caring advice, and education. We seek to build community with low-cost and free events held at Songbird Community Healing Center. At the Center, you will also find our herbal pharmacy full of organic bulk herbs, organic gourmet teas, custom-made tinctures, and local-made goods. There is also a health library that you are welcome to use during open pharmacy hours. We offer a variety of in-home services, bodywork, and more. Check our website for more information.
