Located on Vancouver Island, Ancient Origins Medicinals is comprised of a Clinic, Apothecary, and Organic Herbal Farm specializing in high-quality, handcrafted medicines.
Sisters Megan Waddy, a Medical Herbalist, and Dr. Jenna Waddy, a Naturopathic Physician, combine their expertise to cultivate and craft herbal products that support health, vitality, and well-being.
To live in a way that remembers: the plants are alive, the land is listening, and the Earth is speaking to us in every moment. We envision a culture that honors the living intelligence in all beings — plant, stone, soil, water, wind — and recognizes the deep kinship that binds us.
In this way of life, medicine-making is not an industry but a conversation; healing is a return to relationship; and every remedy carries the song of the place it comes from. We dream of a world where people once again walk with the plants as companions, teachers, and elders, and where the health of the people and the health of the land are understood as one and the same.
We create vibrant, high-vibrational medicines harvested with respect, prayer, and deep reciprocity. Our remedies carry the living intelligence of the plants, crafted to nourish body, mind, and spirit.
Through herbal medicine, education, and ceremony, we help restore the threads of connection between people, the land, and the plants — guiding others to remember their true essence and their place in the web of life. We support people in reconnecting with their bodies, listening to their intuition, and living in right relationship with the natural world.
We honor the plants as elders, teachers, healers, and guides — companions who open our field to connection, teaching us what it means to live in reciprocity and to walk as extensions of the Earth herself.
